Doug hates candy wrappers, screaming 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 movies! This is Doug Loves Movies. This is Douglas Movies. And today I've assembled a panel that was so easy to put together. I didn't even have to look at the instructions. Three of my favorites are here. Amy Miller, Jeff Tate, and John Erler. Hello, everybody. Hello, everybody. Hello. Hello, everybody. hello everybody hello hello everybody what's up oh that was couldn't work that out better if we had a rehearsal let's meet everybody individually and alphabetically by first name uh snowed out of her shows in portland oregon this weekend roughing it in the biggest storm in the history of Southern California. It's Amy Miller. Oh, hi, everybody.

Why do you remind me of that? I forgot for a minute. Well, I was trying to, you know, bring some sunshine. Well, there is sunshine. That's the weird part. It's like today in L.A., you know, if you look in the right direction, it's pretty nice. Not where I live.

But then there's some weird clouds still uh hovering over uh my bank account after a canceled weekend oh it's such a pain in the neck for comedians to have uh shows in other cities canceled because of all the expenses that come with it. And I was sorry to hear that. So that's when I got the idea to, you know, bring you some happiness on Sunday afternoon while you're still sitting around frustrated that you didn't get to do your gig this weekend.

Thank you, Doug. I was supposed to hang out with Jeff a lot this weekend, too. Well, of course. This is just the same. Yeah, well, I mean, that's the weird thing about timing uh with especially with regards to weather is that you know you just don't know when these things are going to happen when the best time is to travel to anywhere anymore and uh in this case i'm going to be there in a few weeks, and I assume things will be fine. I'm going to have a real nice time hanging out with Jeff.

Okay. Well, let me know how it is. But I've also got a show coming up with you that I'm excited to talk about on May 21st at Levity Live in Oxnard, California. We're doing a show with you you and uh alex hooper is going to be there and uh you know maybe another surprise guest i don't know love alex that's yeah it's fun already yeah i'm already enjoying that and i'm already enjoying you today amy thank

you for being here am i still supposed to plug we plug later plug it all at the end you know you talk about it now that you hit a few home runs you say some funny things people go oh who's saying that i wish i you know knew where i could see that that person and you've already said it before you impress them. All right. Calling in, not phoning it in by any means, is our master pancake friend, John Erler. Hello, John. Hi, Doug. Good to hear you.

Good to hear you. And I'll be seeing you soon because South by Southwest is happening and I crash on your couch. I enjoy the use of your Davenport when I'm in the area. You fit so snugly on our little fold out couch. Oh my God. Thank you for doing the dishes every day. We appreciate it. I,

you know, if I don't chip in, what's, what's the point? Maybe ease up on our cocaine stash a little bit next time. Hey, are you accusing me of being some sort of bear? Yes. I have a question for you, John, about the cocaine bear.

All right. Is the cocaine bear, do you already, are you excited that you're going to be probably watching it a million times now? Because it seems like the perfect movie to watch with an audience and make jokes during. Because I'm sure it's funny in and of itself, but probably would be even funnier with outside perspective commenting on the action. I'm looking forward to it. Yeah, I got excited like months ago when I saw the trailer. I thought this movie was made for us.

Right. Good or bad. Good or bad. It's still a bear on cocaine. So you could just say all the jokes you want about a bear being on cocaine. And the characters have to stay in the story. They just have to like run for their lives. They can't stand around making great bears on cocaine jokes,

although they probably attempt a few while also fleeing that's true just sneak a couple in um you know what i mean like like i'm sure somebody yells while running i'm on vacation you know hilarious stuff like that well it's gonna be a funny movie i haven't seen it yet but it's gonna be funny because elizabeth banks directed it and uh it's probably a little too smart and funny honestly maybe for us you know like it probably makes its own good jokes and we don't really need to add any i because i'm not i'm not falling for the i'm not going through the whole snakes on a plane syndrome ever again but that's what this is i bet that's what i'm saying is i'm not going through the whole snakes on a plane syndrome ever again but that's what this is i bet that's what i'm saying is i'm never gonna just go into a movie that's

the title alone is a slam dunk i'm never gonna go in thinking they're actually gonna you know put the ball in the net i think that they're gonna fuck it up somehow are you gonna see it i am yeah i am i'm definitely gonna see it but I am. Yeah, I am. I'm definitely going to see it. But probably I don't need the rest of the audience to let me know if it's funny or not. So I'm going to try to go to a matinee when nobody else is there. That's smart. I might even whisper when I buy my ticket, cocaine bear. That's how everyone orders it. I like that that TikTok comedian guy is in it.

He's funny. Oh, okay. He brought me joy. He also does real stand-up, but... That's probably the only person in the cast I don't know, because there's a real recognizable group of folks. And, you know... He did those videos about working at ikea scott okay he's hilarious

all right i'm gonna take your word for it amy it's his first role post tiktok fame yeah i'm gonna have to get used to those tiktokers or maybe i have to actually look at tiktok i just never i've never messed with it at all. It's pretty entertaining, but don't do it before bed. Okay. Well, you know what? Now I'm realizing our next guest should have just showed up at Amy's gigs and just did her act this weekend in Portland. He did take my gigs.

It's Jeff Tate. You really did do the spots? I did last night, yeah. The rest of them were fully cancelled. Oh, because nobody could get to the show, really. Yeah, yeah. But how was last night?

It was a fucking nightmare. I was happy to be home last night. So it was just really still awful out, but people did show up nonetheless. The wrong people. Yeah, it's a cool room. It's like a movie theater, like a one-screen movie theater, but that's like in the back of a pizza place. that's like in the back of a pizza place.

But the entire crowd did not know how to be like an audience to watch something. They only knew how to be like an audience. It was like if you took 80 people from like Buffalo Wild Wings, they were like, now watch, instead of football, watch comedy. And then they just, a lot of like yelling at us and whatever i just had a great idea for like you know they probably don't stay open very late because of the kitties why not have uh chucky cheese after hours and the whole place just turns yeah it just turns into a fucking nightclub that's Chuck E. Cheese themed.

They let you have four Coors Lights or ciders instead of two. Yeah, whatever you want to drink before you get in the ball pit. They have a dance floor. They could totally do this.

And a band. Yeah. They probably have to update some of their numbers you know put in some more adult tunes but i mean as it is they probably sing some stuff that's very questionable you know pop music from every decade has songs that like not really great for the kids yeah yeah it was uh the last time last time I went, it was jarring when the mouse sang WAP. It's so fun if you said it right.

Did I say it wrong? You completely WAP that one. I just said it the way the mouse said it. He just hates Italians. Oh, no. the way the mouse said it he just hates italians i like that the people were so rowdy last night when they were in a movie theater do they also do that when the movie's on i i couldn't um i i i wanted to know, but I did not want to engage them. Smart. In any way.

There was enough questions that had been asked before I got on. Maybe the audience was just there for shelter. Maybe. It was a horrible storm. It's always shocking when a room is able to find 80 people who have never been somewhere. I mean, somebody did some work to get people to come out to see

not Amy on such a horrible on the back end of a horrible weekend of weather because people all probably had a domino effect of bad things that happen when they had to be stuck at home for a couple days.

Yeah, they had a lot to say. I had them swap out all my ticket buyers for bad ones because the apple's going to be there. Hey, I'm not going to be able to make it to my show. Can you make it a bad apples only night? First timer's free. Appreciate it.

Yeah, well, free is an interesting thing. We'll save this for another podcast. Doug loves talking but I want to do the segment recommendation nation this week as a tribute to the black

history month is coming to an end as it does every year on February 28th or 29th if it's a leap year. Is that how it works? Yeah. I think so.

They add a day every four years. Yeah. I'd like each of you to name your favorite film that you would consider to be in some way about black history. So if anybody wants to do the last minute work, if people really care about what the Mayan calendar thinks you should do, how you should live your life. We all make big changes on January 1 for God knows what reason.

And also, why would I say God knows anything? Because I don't care what God knows. What's happening? Screw that guy, God. What kind of God would create a man who would create Dilbert? I've just been really enjoying the idea of MAGA people trying to force themselves to enjoy Dilbert.

Yeah, never for them. Dilbert didn't work at a gun range he has a computer job and now they're gonna pretend to enjoy it just to like scoop him up they've been doing the same thing with they've been doing the same thing with like Kevin Sorbo and Dean Cain movies

for the last 25 years right they really have to enjoy some weird ass entertainment that's like that's like a very uh that's a very nice way of saying bad i can't say i can't say that i don't know if there's a big quality change in Kevin Sorbo projects pre and post. I feel like it's all the same, but maybe he's gotten worse. I just haven't tracked it. I get confused with that other guy, that guy that played Beastmaster.

Right? Yeah. That was the same guy. But Beastmaster had like, what do you call him? He had two friends that were ferrets. And so that's that, you know, it's not Sorbo because the ferrets would not like him. No. They also have to enjoy James Woods only tweeting. He made some pretty good movies.

he made some pretty good movies yeah yeah i mean at least like it helps me a lot that james woods plays horrible people in the movies it helps me to keep keep the movies still like i can still cherish it because it's accurate um mark singer that's the guy sorry that's it, Mark Singer. Don't look stuff up. No, it just came to my brain. People think you're cheating. Okay. But I liked your comeback that it came into your brain

via computer. I don't mind my brain too, John. John's previously typing, what's my favorite Black History movie? Google, please pick a good one, Google. Amy, what do you think? My brain came up with just a random list of 37 of the most important Black History Month movies just out of nowhere. There you go.

Oh, wow. There's so many lists for every every freaking thing but just from my brain though have you thought of one amy oh yeah well i'm a big drag fan and so i consider this to be part of black history is paris is burning oh i love it if you also like drag and watch drag race or anything and you haven't seen this movie you're fucking up i think it's more accurately probably black and puerto rican history but um yeah it's like the beginning of the balls in new york and it's it's just the best i've always heard nothing but great things about it and i enjoy that uh you know the tv show pose very much so uh it's definitely something that's on my list of

resolution movies like uh that i i need to just get it over with and see it yeah it's wildly entertaining it's also sad and heartbreaking but yeah you gotta see it doug you gotta see it it's uh it's the availability is weird on it like uh i think it's been more widely available in the last couple of years. Okay, good. It's bounced around streaming platforms, but you can definitely watch it easily now. Okay, good. I'll look it up right when we're done. John Erler.

What do you think? Black history. I'm for it. Let's learn something. Okay. what do you think black history i'm for it let's learn something okay uh i mean i like the i like the standard ones the malcolm x's the selma's um but there's one that i saw when i was a kid that i've actually been meaning to revisit and uh haven't yet which is called the bingo long traveling all-stars and motor kings whoa do you remember this movie? I do. I enjoy it. I play a game with Doug loves movies.

This podcast, I play a game where, where people, where the, I do only on shows where I'm with the people in person, like this next one coming up on March 5th, the Dicey typewriter. I like, you know, there's a game where I ask everybody to repeat back a long title. Coming up on March 5th at Dynasty Typewriter.

There's a game where I ask everybody to repeat back a long title. And that one has definitely been in the mix. Because if you haven't heard of it before, it's just a jumble of words. So how's it going again? Bingo Long and his... Bingo Long's Traveling All-Stars and Motor Kings. That's it. Bingo Long's Traveling... or maybe it's yeah i you know i don't think i knew the title when i saw it when i was a kid and uh yeah i think i called it bingo

traveling all-stars it's probably the number one movie with the word motorcade in the title it's not motorcade though but it's it's motor kings oh motor kings that's right that's right but they did have a motorcade i think yeah that's what it was that's why they were motor kings is because they had such a great motorcade uh yeah but uh that's a really that's a great one i i uh i like that one a lot yeah it's got um it's got some big names in it. James Earl Jones. Yeah, Richard Pryor. Never heard of him.

Billy Dee Williams. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I liked it when I was a kid, and I think I liked it because my mom liked it, and she was hard to please. So when she liked a movie, things were good. You could enjoy the movie. Okay. Yeah. Jeff? so when she liked a movie things were good you could enjoy the movie okay yeah

Jeff I was gonna say like does it have to be a true story because if it doesn't then I'm gonna say do the right thing if it does then Ali well here's what

how I feel about that then and you can pick which one you want to go with. I feel like Do the Right Thing became a part of history. Okay, then I'm going to pick that one, because that's just like a masterpiece. By actively depicting what was happening and continues to happen.

Yeah, I'm going to take that one. That one is a masterpiece, a cinematic. Yeah, I'm going to take that one. That one is a masterpiece. A cinematic. Yeah, they might as well be real. The people in that story because it's the same story that keeps getting told over and over again.

you did the right thing, Jeff. You did the thing as Angela Bassett likes to do. Oh, God. Don't put it back in my head. Angela Bassett. It's just, that was just, I'm going to have joy. Thinking about that weird, and I like Ariana De debauch perfectly fine but just thinking about that

performance is just gonna make me happy from now on because you know everybody everybody reacted so so weirdly to everybody just really caught their attention like like nobody's ever noticed anything that's going on in musical theater i know people were so rude about it except jamie lee who then did i saw an interview today and jamie lee curtis was like fuck everybody they need to shut the fuck up and fucking enjoy joy yeah it is joyful and it's like, yeah, it was weird, but it's stuck in my head since I saw it nonstop. So, yeah, I guess I guess Angelo Bassett already is, you know, referenced it in an award speech. I guess she won something last night. Of course.

And she probably helped her win. Yeah. Well, it helped her do the thing. Whatever the thing is she wants to do from now on, she's going to have that extra get-the-thing power. She gets it and she does it. All right, great selections all. I wrote down in advance,

I didn't necessarily expect to match anybody, but I wrote down three movies, what I like to call the chadwick bozeman trilogy where he played with he was great in all three of these movies he played three actual living uh historical figures uh jackie robinson in the movie 42 james brown and get on up and uh thurgood marshall in the movie marshall. Do not confuse that with the movie We Are Marshall. That movie is a whole kettle of

sadness that I'll save for sad football movies month or whatever time of year I think that should be. When the football starts up again, I'll start with favorite tragic football stories.

And everyone will say, we are Marshall, because every other football movie ends with triumph. The last Boy Scout is a little bit of a tragedy. Football-wise. But the whole stadium could have been in jeopardy.

You really did a great job when that really fake-looking bomb went off. Alright, so... Thank you for those recommendations. We're going to take a break to reflect on what we've said, and then we're going to play some games right after this.

We are back, and first up today, in honor of me making my zillionth appearance at the South by Southwest Movies, Music, Interactive, and Comedy Conference in Austin, Texas. movies, music, interactive, and comedy conference in Austin, Texas, which hasn't even been announced yet. They haven't announced the comedy yet, but it's supposed to happen today, the day this episode's coming out. We're taping it on Sunday, the 26th,

but the episode will be out on the 27th, same day they're going to announce. So I feel like I'm not getting too doing a couple of Douglas movies there at South by and some stand up and just having a nice time. South by Southwest. So I'm going to be doing a couple of Douglas movies there at South by and some standup and just having a nice time with South by Southwest. So in honor of that, I want to play a game called ABC D's nuts. And today we're going to spell it's a spelling game and we're going to spell out Southwest. So Amy will get the first letter which is S. Then we'll go through

then Jeff, then John. O-U-T-H-W-E-S-T. All you got to do is name a movie that begins with the same letter. And if you match the movie I wrote down ahead of time you win the whole game but that probably won't happen it's very difficult but you never know and

there's going to be a theme you know unfortunately Amy you just have to sort of just guess any movie begins with S and everyone will figure out the theme as we go. Got it. Do it.

Go now? Yeah. Somebody I used to know. I watched it last night. Oh, okay. Let's put a pin in this game for a second okay what so they like it's just like they decided to make this movie because of the pandemic and what like did you like it well what was pandemicy about it it's a word i just came up that's when

they thought of it that's when they came up with. That's when they thought of it. That's when they came up with it. There was kind of a pandemic idea that they now are putting out in not lesser pandemic times. It didn't feel very pandemic to me, though. The plot, not anything. Really? There's only four characters. Oh, no, I don't think you're talking about the same movie what's your movie uh alice

and brie and mark ellis oh no i'm talking about the new avatar no i'm talking about the same movie as you are i know's Alison Brie and then the guy that she used to know that they have their romance together. Yeah. I was just trying to piece together why. So you liked it though? Yeah, it was a fine movie. I enjoyed it.

There's some good people in it. I mean, you know, sometimes it's just an Amazon Prime watch. You know what what i mean i don't expect that much but i like mark ellis a lot yeah it was good i got some good laughs out of it there's like some comedy people we know and like in it oh uh what's her name from um uh who was in fletch that i did the podcast she's great uh uh aiden mayeri yeah she's awesome she's in it um yeah i enjoyed it it did not seem i mean there's probably like 12 characters in it okay all right i can only think of three or four

but i was having i i didn't watch it in the most alert state i like allison brie a lot but i also was wishing her role was played by someone else it was a little bit weird too that this is not a spoiler because it's in the description of the movie that she's like oh your new girlfriend reminds me of a younger me but he's also like dating a young black woman now i'm like that did make me feel a little bit weird right you're just like me at that age and i'm like i don't think so but but yeah i liked it i just think i just am uh for me i i'm tired of the turning on a rom-com and knowing that turning on a rom-com and knowing that the the main you know the heroine of the piece is going to be uh like clumsy like there's always little pratfalls have to be in there and then and then also just uh quick to lie about stuff and get in weird little lies where they have to like then

have to you know follow-up questions their answers start not making any sense they're trying to work their way out of it i don't know why that's such a go-to it's i get yeah i get lucy did both of those things the beginning of rom-coms it's always like yeah this woman's an executive and or she in this she's a showrunner she clearly like knows how to do a bunch of shit but then yeah she doesn't get like other basic parts of life and is falling down all the time and it's like i don't know if your showrunner was just like constantly falling down you might i swear falling down falling down is something that women, even when they're directing and writing a movie, they'll put it in there because then they've got something to put in the trailer so that men can be like, oh, it's fun. The woman falls down in the snow.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We don't often have a romcom where the that lead just stays like powerful boss bitch or whatever. that lead just stays like powerful boss bitch or whatever like she always has some major week because you know men aren't into that not just success and um power yeah no she has to be embarrassed and made to look silly yeah it's really weird yeah so you just get you're just past that you just overlook you don't care about that anymore because it's just got to be there it seems like it just is always there i honestly didn't think

about it this time thank you sometimes it takes a man to point out oh yeah every woman that loved that movie i'm on twitter well actually i you know that's why I asked you those because I was really half asleep when I watched it. It didn't appeal to me, but I should give it another try. No, yeah, when she's not show running, she's low-key stupid and useless. And that is frustrating. Right, okay, that's also where they lost me. Is it like the first scene then it feels like she's either never going to come back or it's going to come back

really late in the story she comes back really late in the story yeah that's what i thought okay so uh you were with somebody i used to know for the letter s in this game that we were that i started playing about 10 minutes ago and is the answer the thing that I wrote down is a motion picture called Streets of Laredo. Oh. Yeah. Oh, indeed. Because that's the next letter. Ah, nice.

For Jeff. Oliver and Company. Now, see, did you have that picked out before you heard Streets of Laredo? Yes. Yeah, I thought so. I went with Once Upon a Time in Mexico.

Oh, damn. Oh, John, you have the letter U. Shit. Well, I don't think this is going to match your thing, your theme. Right, but you've got to say something just to stay in the game. That's right. That's how it works.

I'm going to say Under the Cherry Moon. Okay. That's a good one. That classic Prince movie. That's right. Yeah. The second most famous prince movie um yeah okay i was you know i was just trying to factor in graffiti bridge oh right but I think you're right, because Under the Cherry Moon was kind of a punchline for a while,

because it was in black and white and not very good. I went with a movie called Urban Cowboy. Oh. You say that after every one. I do. Amy, the letter is T. The? Yeah.

Good, the bad, and the ugly. Oh, that's a terrific answer. It feels like you're on the right track for the theme. But I wrote down true grit. H is the next letter for Jeff. All pass. H is the next letter for Jeff Hall Pass That would be so great if I had written down Hall Pass somehow

I just can't think of something that fits so I'll just put Hall Pass but what I wrote down is a movie called HUD. I love that movie. There you go. They call Newman fan ye be. Yeah, I guess. Oh, my God.

What if I didn't like him at all The rest of the movie Right you're like who's Paul Newman I wish he had been played by Alison Brie I don't Somebody that likes HUD I thought Would be like a big Paul Newman fan But you just like HUD I really like HUD

Yeah alright W is the next letter for Newman fan, but you just like HUD. I really like HUD. Yeah, alright. W is the next letter for who's next? Jeff? No, I think it's me. Oh, okay. I'm going to go with Westworld. Oh, that's a good one because

what's his name? Walks around dressed up like a cowboy. Yul Brynner. Yul Brynner in the original motion picture. a good one because what's his name walks around dressed up like a cowboy eel brinner eel brinner and the original motion picture ed harris and the uh hbo abomination yeah i'll say it tell us what you really think four seasons the movie was two hours the one robot chases one guy and they have a confrontation the end that's true they made that into four seasons of a show is the move i and i watched the entire thing because i couldn't believe like what why is this still a show why are they they're not even at westworld anymore they're just in downtown la anyway whoa sounds like they're saying something

about LA. No, it looks really clean and nice and underpopulated just so I like it. So Christmas, the Christmas week. Mm-hmm. W,

I wrote down, Winchester 73 oh yeah E is the next letter for Amy okay

I'm gonna go L Dorado oh oh go El Dorado. No. Oh. I wrote down El Mariachi.

Oh. Wow. Okay, I see you. All right. Okay. S is the next letter for Jeff. All right. Okay. Okay. Okay. This is the next letter for Jeff. Stage coach. That is the one I was looking for.

You did it. This is nicotine. Holy crap. Wow. Amazing. And then the final T I had, I also wrote down True Grit. The other one. I would have asked you the year.

I would ask you to clarify the year if somebody had done that. But Jeff pulled that one out. Wow. Yeah. Nice. And those are all Western-themed movies set in the South. Yeah. Southwesterns. all Western themed movies set in the South. South Westerns.

It's a good theme. See you at South by Southwesterns, everybody. That's one thing I think I may have never seen. Okay, I just thought of one. I think I've seen one Western at South by Southwestern film festival.

It was a good one, though. I liked it a lot. It was In a Valley of Violence. I was going to guess that. Ethan Hawke and an amazing dog. That dog was on this podcast. May he rest in peace.

Jumpy. His name is Jumpy. I just met him. Why did you kill him already? What do you mean you just met him? It's so sad. I was just excited you met this dog and then he was dead already. He was really sad.

Oh my god. I couldn't let you I couldn't let everybody be excited about it for too long before bringing up that the dog was dead. Don't look up Paul Newman. Who is that? Does he have any connection to HUD?

Nope. It's a name I made up. I mean, HUD is also the name's the name of a government project that, is that still a thing? Is that still going? Yeah, I think so. Housing and urban development. Yep. Yeah.

You got that right. All right, we're going to go to one more commercial break, and then we come back. Jeff gets to go first in our next game. That's all he really won from winning that thing. Everybody just hunker down

and we'll be right back. We're back. Go ahead and unhunker. Our final game today. I'm very excited about it. I enjoy playing this game very much ever since I made it up today.

It's the first time we've played this game on the show. And it's called Name That Squeakquel. Love it. From the squeakquel to Search for curly gold subtitles on sequels have delighted millions one of the hardest parts of this podcast and gave it its own game that's great I'll say a subtitle. You tell me the IP,

you know, just the name of the series of films from which this subtitle arose after, you know, part two, three, four, whatever number part it is. Some are easy.

Some are impossible. So if all three of you each guess in turn and if all three of you guess wrong on one of these which will probably happen then i will give a couple clues and go through everybody in the same order again uh you know and if somebody gets it, then we give them the point and move on to the next one. So Jeff's going to go first. And then we twist the order around. So it's going to go Jeff, then Amy, then John. And are you ready for the first one, Jeff?

Yeah, I'm ready. Unhungered. Yeah, and don't think of terms of any kind of theme or anything like that. These are just all just plucked from wherever. The words after the colon would be another good name for this game. Post colon. The shit words. You know, because it could be

anything they want to say about the movie just to try to explain it better to people or just get them more intrigued. It's the funniest concept. So what movie, Jeff, thought they could get people in there, get them excited about a sequel, if it

said The Spawning? Oh my god. Yeah. Species. Oh, Species 2, The Spawning? Yes. Incorrect. Oh, Species 2, The Spawning? Yes. Incorrect. God damn.

Sorry to be so dramatic. Amy? Alien. Alien. Aliens. There's alien, aliens, aliens with the little uh a little three so whatever that was mathematically uh then alien resurrection alien devotion covenant covenant covenant covenant and then there was Prometheus.

That was kind of an alien movie. Yes. Anyway. I was wrong. Yeah. Okay. I thought it looked like you just put on some lotion and you needed it rubbed in. it rubbed in John what do you think

The Spawning you must have seen this movie is it Piranha yes it's a Piranha movie you must have seen this movie it sucks Piranha 2 The sucks Exactly What a reputation It was directed by James Cameron

Okay You're up first Jeff Correct Next one and like I said Some of them are easy some of them are difficult I feel like this I think you lucked into an easy one We'll see

The Desolation of Smaug I feel like this, I think he lucked into an easy one, but we'll see. The Desolation of Smaug. That's a, that's a Hobbit movie. That is a Hobbit movie, that's correct. I knew that one was too easy, but I just couldn't resist getting to just talk about The Desolation of Smaug. It's one of my favorites. It's you know you you gotta know what who or what smog is and then to just have it desolated is such a weird thing to do to a uh a weird mythical creature right you just find out about it and and it's already desolated it's like

amy with the dog yeah it's like why is this happening It's like Amy with the dog. Yeah, it's like, why is this happening? I don't even know what a smog is. It's been desolated. It's all very confusing. You should call this game Smog Loves Movies. Oh, my God. Okay. Too bad you don't get any points for being funny, Amy. You just get invited back.

What is... This is another easy one, I think. But we'll see okay uh the subtitle is money never sleeps oh jeez i should know this i feel like i do know this right i think so i feel like we all know it is it a james bond movie no those always that would be the whole title probably because there's no like numbers okay all right well okay they should go back to and renumber them james bond one doctor no james bond two from russia with love right like the way they all went all crazy with the numbers on the Star Wars movies. They should fix

them, you know, give them all give them all their due. James Bond 3, The Desolation of Goldfinger. Oh man, I just found out about Goldfinger. I'm so sorry. It's already fucked up. I know, it's a bit of a spoiler in the movie.

I just thought you were out of words. You should see what happens to Goldmember. Oh. James Bond 1, Dr. No loses. Okay, do I try to not go too far with the references? Because what if Austin Powers was coming up later in this game? Oh, snap. It wouldn't matter.

No more jokes, Jeff. Very easy for both me and Jeff. It would have made it easier, yeah. That's true. Okay, so did you ever answer Money Never Sleeps? Yeah, I got it wrong. I said James Bond. Oh, I thought you were just – I didn't know that was your official guest.

Oh. Because all you said was Jamesames bond that's a lot of movies i don't know which one you meant um oh right we're talking about the series in general you're right you did give an answer i guess uh john what do you think it is it sounds really familiar um but i'm not sure what it is but i'm going to take a guess okay is uh wall street that is correct oh shit yes yeah wall street too money never sleeps yeah it's never awake either dumb shit it's so scary to think what my money's doing when i'm asleep just up all night spending itself it's just doing like a bear they might explain it they might explain that at some point but i also just think that it's just the money never sleeps is so perfect for like there's so many movies where that could be the subtitle you know just

anything that's about anybody that's shitty about money this is so it's such a funny expression um okay so um john got that one so he's got two points jeff gets to go first on this next one uh the subtitle is merely Bad Asses. Bad Asses. Yeah. Oh, fuck.

I can't think of the name of that. Okay, this is going to sound dumb, of course. Big spoiler alert. But is that the subtitle of a movie that's called Badass? It's got like Danny Trejo and Danny Glover

in it. A couple of Dannys. That is exactly what it is. Yeah! Nice! It's Badass 2 Badasses. That is exactly what it is Yeah Nice Yeah, it's badass to badasses Oh my god, I can't believe you got that Nice

And that was the clue If I had to give a clue, the clue was going to be Trejo and Glover Nice Alright, Amy I hope this is an easy one That was the clue. If I had to give a clue, the clue was going to be Trejo and Glover. Nice. Alright, Amy. I hope this is an easy one. What movie had the subtitle Seventh Inning Fetch?

Airbud? Yes, it was Airbud. Amy is on the board. His baseball movie. Yeah, Air Bud ended up playing all sorts of different games, I think. It's always in the air. Or maybe just basketball and baseball. Maybe he only would do sports that Michael Jordan played.

No, no, no. No, he gets into like snow sports and stuff like they go cool maybe maybe uh bob sledding yes sledding okay he's definitely still alive too everybody i just saw an article about him. He's still alive. Okay. John. I don't believe you. Are you ready, John? I'm sure. The passion of the crust. Oh, no.

I love it. It's got to be about cooking or bread and Jesus. Yeah. That's a good one. Nobody's going to get this one. Oh. I know it. Oh, shit.

Oh. Okay. That's a guess. That's so threatening. What is the biggest pizza-based franchise movie franchise that I can think of? It would be whatever it is. It's incorrect. Oh, shit.

What is the biggest bread baking franchise? Bread baking. No more clues. Oh, no. what is the biggest bread baking franchise bread baking no more clues oh no alright I'm gonna shit fuck yeah you don't know it

no I don't I'm just dying to get to Jeff it's the menu alright Jeff it's a Teen mutant ninja turtles movie oh no that's what i was gonna guess oh i know that was that would have been great but even those movies wouldn't uh i don't think they'd bring up a christ pun splinter is a christ figure i don't know if you follow that's true that is a very good point

uh all right so i'm just gonna i'm just gonna move on to the next one because even the clue the clue i wrote down is i don't think there's anything i could say to help you um that was gonna be my clue because that is the uh subtitle for a movie called ginger dead man Ginger Dead Man 2. Ginger Dead Man. Classic. That's a good subtitle. All right, John, you have a chance to win here. Okay. You can tell me.

This is one I think you should know. Oh, boy. You can tell me the movie that has the subtitle The Revenge. It's probably more than one. But we're making fun of one in a couple of hours from now called Grizzly 2 Revenge. I don't know if the definite article is in it, though. It wasn't when you just said it.

Well, then maybe I better guess it, then. Try saying it again with the definite article. Oh, that's a good idea. Grizzly 2, The Revenge. I mean, that sounds good. Is that your answer? Shit. Let me give it two seconds.

Yeah, sure. That's my final answer. Incorrect. Jeff. Jaws. That is it. That is correct. Jaws 4 was called Jaws The Revenge

starring Michael Caine and filmed in the Bahamas. And it's called the Revenge because a trait no shark has occurs in the film when it follows the family to get revenge. It follows them from

Massachusetts all the way down to the Bahamas. the family to get revenge follows them from Massachusetts all the way down to the Bahamas we've done that one too Jaws was doing the bad stuff the whole time no Jaws was just swimming around with his mouth open and people had very small boats

it wasn't his fault no it's like you know the shark's baby gets killed by the people or something, you know, because the Brody's become a shark killing family. Because, you know, once you kill the shark, you know, you kind of get addicted to it. You get a taste for it. You get a taste for shark blood. It is delicious, by the way. They just became shark eaters. If there was a tie today, we would have settled it with a movie called A Tale of Two Kitties.

But we didn't have to resort to that because Jeff is our winner. So there didn't have to be further discussion of Garfield part two. Nice. Congratulations, Jeff. Thank you. We'll have you back on the show soon, especially at the latest on Sunday, March 26th at Helium in Portland, Oregon. We're going to do a Douglas Movies at

4.20 in the afternoon with you and our friend Sean Jordan. And it should be a lot of fun. But what else have you got to plug, Jeff? Everybody go to Instagram and report my account as being hacked.

Oh. Wow. See if that'll help me get it back. Give everybody a little project. Yeah. So they just, your account is just like somebody is just doing weird shit on it, or it's like got suspended or something?

No, somebody with a hacked account sent a group message and then my account got hacked oh that's that canceled shows this weekend it was oh shit yeah so i don't know um i don't know what's gonna happen but maybe the next time i'm on i'll tell you what my new Instagram handle is. Oh, okay. Because right now you're called the other Jeff Tate. No, Instagram was the only thing I was able to get just my name on. And Jeff Tate was the only one.

Wow. What about Tate, Tate, Tate? Maybe I could do that. We'll see. I mean, let's not lock ourselves into a new handle yet. Yeah. Maybe, fingers crossed, I can get it back. Maybe if somebody from Instagram is listening,

it's me. Can I have it back, please? Thank you. All right. That seems fair. Yes. Amy Miller. Yes, Doug.

March 10th and 11th. I'll be at the Alameda comedy club in the east bay so come see me if you live in the bay area oh neat and then follow me on instagram i'm still myself i will not try to sell you crypto that's fake um that's kind of redundant i guess she seems so sensible but this one she sells crypto what are you gonna do I guess. Amy Miller comedy. She seems so sensible, but this one, she sells crypto. What are you going to do? Yeah.

That was my first instinct when I saw the messages from Jeff. I was like, it just doesn't sound like him. Yeah, yeah. It's like a bad, like like you hack me and then tell them to buy crypt like there are things you could make people think i'm into and that is just not one yeah somebody had to sorry somebody had chris cubis once i'm on twitter and but it wasn't crypto it was like somebody was selling a ps3 or something which sounds a little bit more plausible than chris cuba's selling crypto yeah yeah he could be trying to unload a ps3 um john erler doug benson i'll see you i'll see you soon

but what have you uh what people uh they're in the Austin area, when can they see you next? We're getting the rollout couch ready for you. Oh, yeah. Yep. We are, well, I'm going right now to do a double feature in honor of Cocaine Bear Weekend. This is too late for people to go to, but we're doing Grizzly 1 and Grizzly 2, which is why I had Grizzly on the brain. Oh, okay. Great killer bear movies from 1976 and 1983 uh but next week if you're in town in austin we're doing our best of 2022 compendium we're gonna riff all the movies that were

nominated for oscars uh which is gonna be easy for some and more difficult for others. Yeah. All quiet on the restaurant front is going to be rough. Sure. Women talking. I'm not going to make any jokes for that one. I'm just going to say this is a very fine movie. Oh, okay. But Avatar 2 and Top Gun Maverick, fair game.

Fair game. You're doing all 10 of them? All 10 plus a few that got snubbed and probably should have been in there. Wow. That's really fun. That's so fun. I'm going to do Nope because I thought that was a great movie that didn't get, I don't think, any nominations really. Yeah.

Yeah. That'd be fun to watch and make comments during. That'd be fun to watch and make comments during. I think, you know, even the best horror movies have like a lot of, you know, dead space where you can really play around. Exactly. In those shadows. And if you're not in the Austin area, then you can follow us on Twitch. We do shows mostly Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and they're free and they're fun. Fantastic.

Doug Loves Movies is going to be back at Dynasty Typewriter in Los Angeles March 5th at 4.20 in the afternoon.
