Too bad I couldn't get anybody good, which is available sooner now in the comedy album section of iTunes and at douglasmovies.com for two bucks. I'm trying to give you lots of stuff to listen to during the holiday taint

while my podcast pals are on vacation. That night, I got to hang out backstage at Largo, always a good time. For a Tenacious D show, always a good time. Great to see those guys and hear them play old songs and new songs. The D is not silent. Sunday, I flew to Portland, Oregon, and on the plane, at the recommendation of Mr. Leonard Maltin himself. I finally watched my Netflix copy of Tucker and Dale vs. Evil. Enjoyed it. It's like the Three's Company of slasher movies. And it's got Alan Tudyk in it. You can never go wrong with good old Tudyk's. Sunday night I visited Sassy's Gentleman's Club with my friend Ganja John, and I don't remember much of what happened.

And then Monday I co-hosted AM Northwest with Dave and Helen to promote my shows at Helium Comedy Club in Portland on March 29th and 30th. Yeah, it's a long way to go to promote some shows that are a few months away, but I love Portland and I love AM Northwest with Dave and Helen. On the flight home, we had a stop in San Francisco, and SFO has a See's candy stand, so on a whim, I decided to buy some molasses chips, which are the delicious treat that I told Karen and Sarah Silverman about on Dining with Doug and Karen, and then I proceeded to chip a tooth on one of those molasses chips. But don't worry, my dentist has taken the rest of the month off,

so I guess I'll get my tooth fixed next year. Christmas Day, I saw Les Miserables with my mom. She wanted to see Django Unchained, but I thought I'd be uncomfortable with the N-bombs and the nudity and the violence, and I saw Django yesterday, and it turns out I was wrong. Sorry, Mom. Yeah, even though it's Quentin Tarantino, it's, uh, I didn't think it was as harsh as The Glorious Bastards or, uh, several of his other films. I liked it. I just, it wasn't as, anyway, you get what I'm saying. Now it's time for Doug Benson's Best of Two Oceans 12, my picks for some of the best things in movies this year.

Best Surprise Breasts goes to Nadine Velasquez from My Name is Earl for answering the prayers of many by walking around nude in the first scene of Flight with Denzel Washington. You don't even have to watch the rest of the movie. And the runner-up goes to past and probably not future guest Olivia Munn, who appears topless in the first scene of Magic Mike. Way to go, O! Best Lincoln movie goes to Lincoln.

Sorry, Abe Lincoln Vampire Slayer But it's your fault for being so dumb This has been Doug Benson's Best of Two Oceans 12 We'll be back with more of these in the next few weeks Last night I did stand up at the Improv in Irvine, California And my special guests were Jonah Ray and Brian Redban And they played the Leonard Moulton game Head to head And I will share a clip of that with you My special guests were Jonah Ray and Brian Redman, and they played the Leonard Moulton game head-to-head,

and I will share a clip of that with you after some plugs. I've got shows coming up in Orlando, Jacksonville, Bellevue, Washington, San Francisco, Sacramento, Eugene, Oregon, St. Louis, Missouri. Dates, deets, and links at Doug loves movies.com. And I hope to see you orange County people in Irvine at the improv with Graham Elwood tonight. Does anyone hunger for games? All right.

We got Jonah Ray and Brian Redman on stage. And they've picked contestants to play for. Jonah is playing for... Tavis. Tavis, the Tavis Chainsaw Massacre. And he's trying to insert the sign on the O and the improv sign on the brick wall here at the Irvine Improv. And I'm always in the V, Doug.

And he's doing a great job. Brian likes to be in the V. And you're playing for Dan, who made a Me in Real Life poster. And Dan looks shockingly like Jonah Ray. Yeah. It's a comic book, so that's exciting. Here's what's in the prize bag, a copy of Doug Benson's Smug Life. A very cool little green book.

It's a book with thoughts and ideas about marijuana, but also space for you to write your own. I think all books sold to stoners should have space for you to write your own thing. Like your own copy of Great Gatsby or something. And then, did you bring this, Brian? It's a shirt from

White Castle. White Castle's in Death Squad, you know that? And it looks like a double XL, which is quite appropriate. Yeah, that's probably what I put in the back. And then I brought a Douglas movies shirt and Brian also brought some

Death Squad stickers. So all of that could be won by either Dan or... Tavis. Tavis? Tavis. Why? Did the R drop off of your birth certificate and land on Jamie Foxx's face? Jamie Foxx has an R tattoo on his face.

Yes. Not a Django. No, the R is silent. Yeah. Wait, what? No, the D is... Did you see? Jonah, you saw Django and Jane. The R-assignment. Yeah. What? No, the D is... Did you see... Jonah, you saw Django and Jane?

I saw it last night, yeah. Yeah, did you like it? I fucking loved it. It was great. It's pretty fun, right? Yeah. Finally us white people get some revenge for our ancestors that were slave owners.

I know. Because I would shoot them in the face for doing that. I would. That's not cool. I would. It's nice. It's a fun movie. A lot of good blood and gore. Yeah, it's a lot of people getting shot, but when they get shot, it's very splattery. Yeah.

Like Dawn of the Dead, where does everything go? Fun and anachronistic music throughout, like the current hip-hop songs. Now, there wasn't hip-hop in the Old West, am I right? I don't think so. Okay, because there was some in the movie. Yeah, but that's what anachronistic means.

Have you been to the movies lately, Brian? Yes, I have. What did you see? I saw Wreck-It Ralph, which is one of my favorite movies. Oh, yeah. One of your favorite movies ever? One of my favorites. You're not going to let it settle in a bit more before you make that claim?

I'm a huge video game animation nerd. And they don't have to change a word of it for the porn version. So you just have to still just fucking wreck it, Ralph. You don't have to put a comment on it. That's the only difference. You can't kill it, Ralph. You probably have to put a comic on it. That's the only difference. You can kill it, Ralph. Just watch it. What about it? Are you going to go see Les Mis?

Les Miserables? You know, I wasn't going to, but after hearing you guys talk about it, it seems like a pretty sweet movie. I saw it right before I got here. It's a fucking, like, if you don't already like the stage show, then it may be a tough sit, because it is song after song. I love musicals, man. I like Beyond Rouge. I thought that was good. Everyone makes fun of me for that. Beyond Rouge.

You mean Malin Rogu? Yeah, pretty good. I love Malin Rogu. Malin Rogu's one of my faves. Les Mis is made out of tears, that movie. It's a lot of fucking crying on screen and off. He was one of my faves. Les Mis is made out of tears, that movie. It is. It's a lot of fucking crying on screen and off. But I strangely wasn't as moved by it as I have been by the stage show. Yeah.

But, you know, what are you going to do? Shocker. What are you going to do? You like the book better. Yeah, yeah. Poor Russell Crowe. He's concentrating real hard

he doesn't really have the chops he's like Pierce Brosnan in Mamma Mia just a little not that bad but it's you know it's still like he doesn't sing those songs the way that they're meant to be sung how are they meant to be sung?

it's supposed to be like shout song he sings it really mellow style how be sung? It's supposed to be like shout song. He sings it really mellow style. How would you do it? I'd be like, ahhhh! And he's like, that's... That's pretty spot on. It's a big crow.

I don't want to sing the actual words, because A, I don't know them. And B, why is there a B? A was enough. I don't know. I do not know the words well enough to say it for you right now. Are you guys ready to play head-to-head in the Lenerola game? For the audience members? Jonah's pretty good at it, right?

Yeah. All right, this is just between Jonah and Brian, you guys. So if you think you know an answer, please don't try to help in any way. It's all up to them. It's all between them. And if you don't understand what's happening, also there's no reason to yell out. There's no reason to go, I don't get this! Because you don't need to get it.

You've had a couple of drinks. Let it go, man. Just ride with it. How many people here do you think are going, Should've gotten a Damon Busters. Those people still can. Because Damon Busters is open late.

Damon Busters, when you don't know how to have fun for yourself, come to Dave & Buster's. When Xboxes are too complicated. Ain't making your own chicken wings? Dave & Buster's. Young and still love shuffleboards for some reason? Come on down to Dave & Buster's! Old person at heart?

We've got all the classic video games. We've got Pong... ...and Skee-ball. Classic video games. That's my favorite video game. How should I decide which one of you guys goes first? LeBakoi! Oh, I love that idea. I don't think I have one. Oh wait, I do. I do. This is great. This is like a real sporting event. Sports?

All right. You call it, Jonah. It was your idea to have a coin involved. Okay. Heads or tails? Okay. Right? Those are the options. You guys are the two ones. Head! I always go for the tail anyway.

What does that look like? It's a newfangled coin. I don't know. Tail. What? You really can't tell? I think it's the tail. Pick it up. Sarah, fly. Yeah, that's the tail.

That's for sure the tail. It's like a dinosaur. Living room in Dayton, Ohio is the best tail. What? That's a throwback joke. It's called callback. Throwback and callback. Alright, Jonah gets to pick a category.

Sorry, I said? Would you like Merry Xmas, that's movies that have the letter X in the title. In Theaters Now, that's movies that are in theaters now. Or, at Larry Blah, I let people suggest categories on Twitter. Larry Blau, B-L-A-W, suggested,

You have my permission to pie. And you have my permission to pie is movies where an actor gained weight for the role. Oh. Oh, pirate. You will endure this. This is how you could eat buffet, pirate. You will endure this. This is how you could eat buffet, Batman. Feast your eyes on this food. Oh, I will put whipped cream on it.

And cover you with darkness. Okay, which one would you like to play, Jonah? I do People Seem Like in Theaters Now. I'll do Theaters Now. All right. Because it was the least clever of all the games. Yeah. Leonard, in his review on the good old Leonard Maltin app on the iPhone,

says that this movie is ridiculous, exciting, funny, and cheesy. It's all for those things. Don't yell out if you think you know what it is. And Leonard says, thank goodness for that. Yeah. And he lists six names. So how many names from the cast list of this particular motion picture that's in theaters now do you think you need, Jonah?

Somebody in the audience thinks you need three. Another lady in the audience wants to know who's playing. So the drinks are working here tonight. I've got everybody named from? Four. I'm gonna do four. Okay, he says four names on a six. I'll do...

Can we go to the... One. Ryan says one name. Woo! He probably did. Couldn't cop it a lot, huh? He thinks he can get it in one name, Joanna. The Exorcist.

And the lady on the six, it's the Exorcist. I know. That's what she's asking for. You get the nachos and a couple drinks at the improm, and you should probably have the devil take it out of you. Come on, man. It's the holiday taint. I like it. Put your hats on, Nick.

What do you think, Jonah? He says one name is all he needs. Name it. Name it. I'm over it. All right. Name it. You've got to name it. You've chosen to name it or perish.

He's probably completely wrong when I'm thinking about it. If you lose, I'm going to put you in a hole. Where you will learn to not be put in a hole. Or you will say to yourself, this is bad. Why am I in this hole? All right, your one name. Your one name. Don't yell out answers! Irvine!

Or Tustin! Because I know your story, lady. Your one name, Brian, is Robert Duvall. It's in this movie that's in theaters now. And the title of the movie is... What was... did you... don't you usually give us a knock on what the movie's about? No, I just give some clues for my view. It's ridiculous,

exciting, funny, cheesy. 40 and over. Duval is in it. And the movie's not even called 40 and over. It's called

This... This is 40. It is 40. This is 40. And that is incorrect. The movie is Jack Reacher! Jonah won for our new friend, Tavis! Yeah! Tavis, get up here The movie is Jack Reacher And Joe DeWine for

Our new friend Tavis Tavis get up here And collect your prize bag Fuck you dang it Looking like motherfuckers Pick up your glasses Stop wearing black shirts asshole There you go boss

Do you want your sign back? Give me my sign back There you go Rip that fucking thing apart. Is this a movie, by the way? What is it? I've seen it in real life. Sorry, The Office's Steve Carell.

This is a pretty good poster with his face on the pancakes. That iconic face on the pancake shot. Thank you guys so much for playing. Let's hear it for Brian Redman and Joe Ray, everybody. And my friend here, Dan, wrote a shithead on the back of his name tag. And that's what I do on the podcast, is when somebody doesn't win,

they get to make me call someone a shithead. So I will do that now, because you did put this on here, and even though I don't necessarily agree, I am going to read it, because that's, it's a social contract, and that's how it works. So, as always, the amount of commercials during an episode of the Benson Interruption seriously man is a shit

now it's time for Doug to watch another talkie eyes of gold his viewing prowess makes him cocky there's no room in his heart for you cause Doug loves movies
