Starting point is 00:00:00 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, but Doug loves boobies! Hey everybody, my name is Doug And I love movies This is Doug Loves Movies Coming to you From the UCB Theater in Los Angeles On February 28th
Starting point is 00:00:36 To Oceans 12 Since last I spoke, you listened We did a movie interruption of Twilight Breaking Bad Part 1 At CineFamily with guests Ed Helms, Jen Kirkman, and Greg Proops. And we also interrupted an awards show with guests Jonah Ray, Steve Agee, and Dax Shepard. That was so much fun. I hope it becomes an annual event.
Starting point is 00:01:01 CineFamily.org to come to all of my interruption shows for free if you become a member or for like 10 bucks if you're not a member. The Oscars, while shorter than usual, were as boring as ever. My choices for the night's MVPs were Chris Rock, Zach
Starting point is 00:01:19 Galifianakis, and Emma Stone even though the bow on her dress made her look like a present in the driveway of a high school graduate. You call me Emma Stone? Mom, Dad, you shouldn't have. Now it's time for tweet relief. Tweets about movies.
Starting point is 00:01:38 Past and future guest Moshe Kasher wrote, Chris Brown and Rihanna announced that they are releasing a song together I'm guessing it's the theme from Rocky this is between relief tweets about movies so last week there was some confusion about the homeless couple and their sign in the audience and I just like to explain these little dramas once they've completely played out and make some sort of sense.
Starting point is 00:02:05 Turns out that at W-E-I-E-R-D. Yeah, that's his name on Twitter. It's the word weird spelled weird. W-E-I-E-R-D. He bought the sign from the homeless couple. And then they got on a bus with his $30 as advertised and didn't see the show. They were trying to get home to somewhere. But Morgan Spurlock
Starting point is 00:02:30 picked Weird's sign and then he got to pick a shithead. And so basically he paid $30 to a couple in need in order to call Whitney Houston's bathtub a shithead. America!
Starting point is 00:02:50 Now it's time for Watch This, Not That. The number one movie in the country is Act of Valor. I haven't seen it. The number two movie is Tyler Perry's Good Deeds. Can't wait for Tyler Perry's Good Deeds to go to Washington. can't wait for Tyler Perry's good deeds go to Washington so do a good deed and support the troops see active valor not TPGD this has been WT and T prize bag let's look in the prize bag a lot of excitement in the project bag very misleading things in the prize bag, so don't get
Starting point is 00:03:25 too excited in any particular direction. I was at a benefit recently. One of those things where you show up and they give you stuff, and in this case they gave me a t-shirt that is too small for me.
Starting point is 00:03:42 It's an L and I'm an XL. And I'm not saying out loud that I'm an XL to get you guys to bring me shirts. I've got plenty of shirts, but thank you all the same. And this shirt says, what does it say on it? 100% animal lover. So I guess whatever I was at
Starting point is 00:04:00 was some sort of benefit for animals. And then it says, celebrating 100 years of Burbank, which I don't know what that means. It's a combination animal lover, Burbank lover shirt, and it's a large, so whatever size the winner is, you're gonna just have to deal with it. Someone brought and signed, even though they had nothing to do with it, dvd of the television
Starting point is 00:04:26 movie the day after so explanations to come on that and then also you've got my cd doug benson professional humoridian we've got uh the good folks at weezer keep sending me cool stuff to give away in this particular case it's a cd of weezer Live in Tokyo, Japan. And we've also got someone brought Borderlands, the Xbox 360, the Game of the Year edition. So that's good, right? It's a pretty good bag this week. This is pretty cool. More will be explained about this,. This is pretty cool. More will be explained about this,
Starting point is 00:05:10 but this is a prop from a movie that's a pretty popular movie. And then we've got on DVD and Blu-ray copies of a new motion picture that I believe comes out on March 6th on Video On Demand. But we'll talk about our guest when he gets out here. The man behind a project called
Starting point is 00:05:33 High Road. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome we have four fabulous guests tonight. Please welcome Matt Walsh, Michael Bacall, Brody Stevens, and Joe Wagner! Have a seat wherever you like, fellas. Two, check, check, two.
Starting point is 00:06:15 Oh, you got a microphone? There you go. Checky check, one, two, checky check. That's Matt Walsh, everybody. Hi, everybody. Do you play for the audio audience, or do you play for these people? I play for the listeners. The listeners. But every once in a while, the people that stood in line outside on Franklin for an hour or so,
Starting point is 00:06:33 they get a little special treat. A little gem? Yeah, like T.J. Miller juggled one time. That was fun. Oh, that's good. That was just for the live audience. Oh, okay. I don't have any tricks.
Starting point is 00:06:42 I can balance on a chair. You guys aren't going to get to enjoy your hat in all of its maroon splendor. No, the listeners will. Kind of. Yeah, I kind of explained it, but you've got to see it. You've got to really see it to enjoy it. It was a gift from my brother. It was a gift from my brother.
Starting point is 00:06:58 All right. So you directed High Road. Yeah. It should not be associated in any way with the G4 special that I did called The High Road with Doug Benson. This is a completely separate project. Yeah, it's a completely separate thing. Totally separate thing.
Starting point is 00:07:13 Just, you know, great minds, that sort of deal. I think it's from the phrase, you take the high road and I'll take the low road. I totally think it's from that, that we both thought of that. I didn't think of it just like, you know, what kind of road am I driving on when I drive? Pretty much a high road. Might be an expression, but I think it's just something I just made up. Well, there's also the connotation
Starting point is 00:07:35 that to take the more moral path is simply the high road. There's that connotation, too. Oh, of course. Yeah, and that's what makes it fun. You're subverting connotations. And you're in the film as well, right? No.
Starting point is 00:07:50 You're not in it at all? I walk through like Alfred Hitchcock. With like a joint hanging out of you? Fat. Basically fat. You put a pillow in your stomach and walk through? Well, it's got an amazing cast. Rob Riggles in it, Horatio Sands,
Starting point is 00:08:06 Zach Woods, and Ed Helms from The Office. Yeah, so Abby Elliott from SNL. And this kid is awesome, too. James Pumphrey is amazing. Holy shit, we got a Pumphrey hand. Hang on down there. He's the best.
Starting point is 00:08:21 Where were the auditions held? Why isn't Brody Stevens in this? There wasn't a part for Brody. There wasn't? Should he have been one of these people? We can recast it right now digitally. We can just go back in. I'll put Brody's face.
Starting point is 00:08:35 I think that's a great idea. Let's knock out Joe Latrullio. I had to see him naked in Wanderlust, and I didn't care for that. I had a big penis, by the way. He was wearing a fakie? He was wearing a fakie. Did you know that? I didn't care for that. He had a big penis, by the way. He was wearing a fakeie? He was wearing a fakeie. Did you know that?
Starting point is 00:08:48 I didn't know that. He put a prosthetic on his real jaw. So your movie comes out... Your movie comes out on the 6th. March 6th. March 6th on Video On Demand. The two biggest formats. No, Video On Demand. Video On biggest formats. No, Video On Demand.
Starting point is 00:09:05 Video On Demand. And where else? And Stadiums. And DVD Blu-ray. Oh, DVD Blu-ray. DVD Blu-ray. And you brought a bag full of, you got more copies, right? I do.
Starting point is 00:09:14 So while I talk to the next guest for a second, do you guys mind if he gives out some copies of the movie? Yeah. Matt Walsh, everybody. Give out movies. Another reason to show up in person for this. Real cool thing to do. Matt Walsh, everybody. Another reason to show up in person for this. Real cool thing to do. Matt Walsh. People are raising their hands.
Starting point is 00:09:33 Oh my God, he's throwing them. Wow. People are jumping for them. Why not? Do we have a t-shirt cannon? Could we have done it that way? Wow, that was quick. You got it over with fast.
Starting point is 00:09:43 I appreciate that. Michael B, that was quick. You got it over with fast. I appreciate that. Michael Bacall is here, who you guys might not recognize him by sight, but amazing film career. He played the kid who freed Willie's best friend in
Starting point is 00:10:00 Free Willie. Were you his best friend? Or just a friend? I was his evil influence drug dealing friend who did graffiti on a whale tank you're really a drug dealer too fuck yeah I gotta go back and watch free Willy I had no idea come on I got some free Willy shit I had no idea there was drug dealing in that, that you were responsible. And then jump forward to
Starting point is 00:10:28 most recently, you've been in a couple of Quentin Tarantino movies. You're going to be in his new one, Django Unchained. Briefly. As someone who gets shot? Maybe. Spoiler. But it's all
Starting point is 00:10:43 about slavery, right? So you must be shot by a black man who's rising up against a white man. That's possible. I'm guessing. All right. We don't want to give too much away. But we can say something about you also brought a passport, a prop, from Inglourious Bastards. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:59 Nice. Very nice. That's a really good giveaway. I stole this. I accidentally walked away with this in Berlin and found it in my pocket. It's a soldier identification passbook taken off of a scalped Nazi. And what did you do in that movie? Scalped Nazis.
Starting point is 00:11:22 And what did you do in that movie? Scalp Nazis. You were a military character? I was a background bastard. An extra bastard, because there were already bastards that didn't get any lines. What's the difference between a background artist and a background bastard? The bastard's slightly more bastardly. Yeah, it's a prominent background thing to be one of the bastards.
Starting point is 00:11:51 Because how many bastards were there? It's like 13? I think there were eight. Eight bastards. I think eight. That's a good question. You were one of those eight bastards? I'm hanging out in there.
Starting point is 00:12:02 With the haircut, and I didn't know you yet, but I've got to go back and look at that. Brody Stevens is here, everybody. Steven. Brody. Steven. Yes. What great gifts you guys got. I've got to run out to my car and get something else.
Starting point is 00:12:19 Wait, what was your thing? Yours was the video game. That's a fantastic gift. They're all gamers now. Do you want to sign it though to make it like an official, tear the wrapping off of it. Tear the wrapping off it.
Starting point is 00:12:31 So they won't be able to return it. Okay, I'll sign it. I'll sign that in a little bit. But tear the wrapping off and sign it. You can do it right now. And Joe will help me,
Starting point is 00:12:37 my friend Joe. Joe will help. That's the reason I brought Joe Wagner out here was to drink a beer and to help you open up the DVD case. I remember Michael from Inglour the DVD case. I remember Michael from
Starting point is 00:12:45 Inglourious Bastards. I remember your face. I saw that because I know BJ Novak was in it. Sam Levine, right? They were in it. They were bastards as well. And somebody else that we know, right? Eli Roth? Paul Rudd. Yeah, Paul Rust. I was looking at all those guys.
Starting point is 00:13:01 I do recognize. Yeah, they were all in there, I guess. But the other thing that's cool about Michael Bacall is he's tied into these two... They're both Todd Phillips productions that are coming out shortly. One is Todd Phillips. The other one is Neil Moritz
Starting point is 00:13:16 and Jonah Hill and Sony. Oh, okay. So let's start with that one. You wrote the new 21 Jump Street movie that's getting a lot of praise and uh I'm very excited to see it at South by Southwest that's gonna be crazy and I should say as as more explanation of how I know Michael he co-wrote Scott Pilgrim with Edgar Wright and uh yeah I knew that would get you guys. I love that movie. Sweet. But to me, the most exciting thing to me, because as soon as I saw the poster, I was into it.
Starting point is 00:13:49 As soon as I saw the trailer, I was into it. I'm still into it, even though it's a found footage movie. You are behind, you were one of the writers behind Project X that's coming out this Friday, right? Yeah, I was off to it. Yeah, the day this plops. As soon as I saw the poster that said drug use, violence,
Starting point is 00:14:08 language, nudity, excessive partying, I think it actually says that. It does. And then it says all involving teens. I took a picture and tweeted that and said my kind of movie. That should have been the poster. Yeah, that should have been the whole poster.
Starting point is 00:14:23 But nonetheless, it does look like a super fun movie. And that is a Todd Phillips production. So I tried to put together a Todd Phillips themed show. Because Brody, how many Todd Phillips movies have you been in? I've been in three now. His last three directorial efforts. Isn't effort the weirdest word to use when the movie was a success? Like, isn't it weird to say his last effort?
Starting point is 00:14:46 Because he succeeded. Well, it takes effort to do well and, you know, to get up and to direct people. Have a positive energy. Positive energy. But Todd, you know, he's not always positive. You know, he does his thing. But I have to bring down my energy sometimes. Oh, you have too much energy around Todd?
Starting point is 00:15:08 Well, around for the scene. I had to play a limo driver, I remember, for Due Date with Robert Downey Jr., RDJ. Oh, tell us more. And Todd brings me down. He brings me, he'll do Brody, less Brody. Yeah, less Brody, less Brody. Maybe not in this scene, Brody. Less Brody. Less Brody. Less Brody. Maybe not in this scene, Brody. That kind of thing.
Starting point is 00:15:29 I was in three scenes in The Hangover, part two. Two lines. You look like you belong over there. Where was that one shot? That was shot in Bangkok. Do you have any inside scoop on The Hangover 3? Where it's going to be shot and if they can work you into it somehow? We're hoping for that.
Starting point is 00:15:45 I've been taking the Stanford Meisner classes over on Lancashire. That's going well in a 40-minute intensive. Stanford or Sanford? Which one? Stanford. Stanford Meisner. Yeah, Stanford and Sons Meisner.
Starting point is 00:16:00 All they do is teach you how to have a heart attack. I'm coming, Elizabeth! That's what he used to say. Joe Wagner. Hey, Doug. Oh, quickly, Matt Walsh, of course, was in Old School, Todd Phillips. And, yeah, so that's a theme show. It's like a theme show plus Joe Wagner.
Starting point is 00:16:17 Hey. Who's a longtime friend of mine, filled in quite a bit when we were doing the Marijuana Logs off-Broadway. Yes. I see they're being performed soon again. They do it every once in a while in different places. They did it in Portugal. I did it in Chicago a couple years back. It was fun.
Starting point is 00:16:33 Yeah. It's a topic that will never go away. I saw The Hangover. And Hangover Part 2. Yes. Bangkok went there. You see a lot of movies, Joe. I remember the two of us went and saw together
Starting point is 00:16:50 one of the Bourne movies. Might have been the very first one. Let's go see the next one. Bourne on the Fourth of July? Do you want to go see the Bourne movie where Jeremy Renner is like, I don't even remember being a dim at Damon at all. Being another guy.
Starting point is 00:17:06 I totally have no memory of being another person completely. Yeah, let's go see that one. All right. I've known you the entire run of Doug Loves Movies, and you've never been on it because, you know, I don't want to bring our dirty laundry out into the public, but you're terrible at returning messages. That's not true.
Starting point is 00:17:23 That's not true at all. That's not true at all. That's not true at all. All right. I'll text you tomorrow. That's a lie. That's all I have to say in my defense. Doug is a liar. I can't even stay in my chair. I'm a fall-down-on-the-floor liar. Your legs are lying to you.
Starting point is 00:17:46 What a piece of shit. But let's start with you. I meant me, not him. Any Oscar hits or misses for you, Joe Wagner? The way the show went? Yeah. Or who won and lost or anything? No, I mean, I guess everyone wanted Viola Davis
Starting point is 00:18:05 to win. I did. You did, and Meryl Streep got it. But, you know, it's like no one's going to really win against Meryl Streep. It's just never going to, you know what I mean? Except for all those times she lost. She's been nominated, so 14 times
Starting point is 00:18:21 people did beat her, but on three occasions she went home triumphant. I failed to mention that I didn't accept any of those victories on those other actresses' parts at all. I know, so why should you know about it if you didn't have to accept on their behalf?
Starting point is 00:18:38 As soon as they didn't say her name, in my head I heard Meryl Streep. And then I turn off the television. She wins every year. Yeah, you turn it off. You never know what the best picture is. I thought it was fine. I didn't think there were any upsets or anything like that. Is she American, Meryl Streep?
Starting point is 00:18:54 Yes. Okay. Did you watch the Oscar program? I watched half of them. Which half? The first half. Yeah, that's what happens. There's an attrition rate. Yeah. Well, I had to drive up to, I was leaving La Jolla, San Diego, your former hometown.
Starting point is 00:19:10 Sure. And I had to go up and... This will always be my hometown. Former hometown. Listen, you guys, I'm trying to find a new hometown. I want to crawl into somebody's vagina and be birthed somewhere new. And come out as Jeremy Renner. Born again!
Starting point is 00:19:33 Why isn't that one? Why are they calling you that? Born again! Born anew! Reborn! Reborn! Yeah, why didn't we get all the shit out of that? Reborn!
Starting point is 00:19:42 Reborn! Yeah, we got the shit out of that. So in the first half that you saw, anything stand out for you, Brody? I like to talk Oscars since they just happened. I had to sound off. I was practicing drums. During the Oscars?
Starting point is 00:20:00 Yeah. That's a wonderful image. Brody playing drums in the Oscars. That's a nice image. Brody playing drums in the Oscars. That's a nice gown. Positive energy. I did see J-Lo's nipple. I did notice. You think you saw a nipple?
Starting point is 00:20:17 During show or like now? I saw that. I saw skin discoloration. Just such a hint of it though. Yes, I saw that. And I knew people would be tweeting about that. And then I was looking for Zach and Will Ferrell. I knew they were going to do something, but I had to go. Neil Hamburger Show.
Starting point is 00:20:34 Enjoy it. Yes. Michael Bacall, you came to the interruption show that I did at the Cinefamily, where we watched an awards show. I did. Can't say which one. It was enjoyable. It was more enjoyable than the normal experience of watching the Oscars,
Starting point is 00:20:53 which is comparable to having your eyes and ears and mouth and butt full of angry, stinging wasps. I'm so glad we have a promotional angle for next year. Come watch Doug interrupt this award show. It's better than having wasps in your eyes, ears, nose, mouth, and butt. You got it.
Starting point is 00:21:19 Every hole. Matt Walsh, did you get to watch any of it? I did watch the Oscars. I also have started to follow Twitter during like Super Bowl it's fun to go on Twitter
Starting point is 00:21:29 because you know funny people and you go oh that's funny and it's like a game it's fantastic you just sit there and read
Starting point is 00:21:34 people's funny thoughts and add your own when Angelina's Leg came out during the show somebody instantly created a Twitter handle called Angelina Jolie's Leg
Starting point is 00:21:44 and then was twittering the Oscars from Angelina Jolie's Leg Jolie's Leg's point of view and I thought that was just so funny that's smart but that's somebody that's alone at a computer who took claim to that? I don't think TMZ hasn't picked it up yet
Starting point is 00:21:59 I don't know who did it could be like an Onion guy I don't know he might remain silent but also I think that particular character on Twitter Could be like an onion guy. I don't know. He might remain silent. But also, you know, I think that particular character on Twitter for lack of a better expression has legs. They could keep
Starting point is 00:22:11 saying everything from the point of view. A life of its own. And then there was another guy that got a Twitter handle and started up an account called Oscar Sound Guy who was trying to explain why the sound was so shitty throughout a three-hour international televised event.
Starting point is 00:22:34 I think his last tweet was like, great night, everybody. Looking for work. That was like the last tweet he put out. That's pretty funny. Genius. So, Matt Walsh, have you been to the cinema lately? Have you seen anything we can talk about briefly? I just recently saw on a Virgin Airways
Starting point is 00:22:54 the movie The Rum Diaries. And I loved it. You loved it? Loved it. That's my kind of story. I like a small story with kind of trippy image and people getting crazy a lot of times on alcohol and drugs did you love that did you like fear and loathing in Las Vegas I did but it was a little too much visual I like Bruce Robinson
Starting point is 00:23:13 directed the fear and loathing and he did like with Neil and I believe and so I like that sensibility it was very witty and really funny, you mean he directed The Rum Diaries? Yes. I think you said the other thing. I lost my train of thought. I could be wrong, though. All right. Have you seen anything lately, Michael? I saw Possession playing at CineFamily at the Silent Movie Theater. Ow!
Starting point is 00:23:39 And it was so evil. It was mind-peeling. I highly recommend it. I guess it's playing for a few more days. I don't know if people will hear this in time, but I'm sure it will be available in some other format. But what's so crazy about it? It just heightened human interaction.
Starting point is 00:23:57 There's generally a chair being thrown or someone screaming at the top of their lungs for no apparent reason in every single scene of the movie. It's amazing. I'm in. Highly recommend. It's called Possession,
Starting point is 00:24:12 and it stars Tom Hanks and Sandra Bullock. Yes. Brody, have you been to the cinema lately? No, not since we last spoke in Vancouver. That's right. You were just on the show. Just on. Great time. I've been wanting to catch up on all the Oscar stuff. The artist
Starting point is 00:24:30 looks great. I have the Decembrists. I said that last time. Descendants. Descendants. I have the DVD. I said that last time. It was fun then. It's fun again. It's fun now. People are probably listening right now going,
Starting point is 00:24:46 I can't believe I get to hear that again. I want to see Project X. I'm really looking forward to seeing that. That looks crazy. I want to get involved with the kids, have a good time. What do you mean by that? Just hang out, make sure they're all fine. Chaperone. Yeah, I hope they're all fine. Chaperone.
Starting point is 00:25:07 Yeah, I hope they're all safe in the end. Don't give it away, but if there's any deaths, that would be a bummer. But it could be fun. It's a pretty dark movie, right? Gets dark. It gets dark. Starts out in daytime. Is that what you're trying to say?
Starting point is 00:25:24 It's mildly apocalyptic. Wags. What have you seen? I saw two movies yesterday. Wanderlust and This Means War. Really? And how did you feel? Oh, some people were like,
Starting point is 00:25:38 snickered at the fact that I can see two shitty movies in one day. That's not true. That's not true. Wanderlust was great and all those people are really cool. I'm fans of theirs. But I thought it was like Wet Hot American Summer to me was still funnier than that, than Wanderlust.
Starting point is 00:25:56 This means war. I want to say this to people and anybody agree with me right now if you've noticed this. Tom Hardy, you know the actor Tom Hardy? He has really fucked up teeth, doesn't he? Did anyone notice that in that movie? Did anyone see that movie? You're not a fan of his teeth.
Starting point is 00:26:14 Right, I mean, he's like a good looking dude, but then like you look at his teeth and it's like a mess. It's like all this kind of shit going on. Chris Nolan was like, let's cover this up. Let's cover this up for the entire movie. In a way where he's supposed to be this super hot dude
Starting point is 00:26:31 who's competing with Chris Pine, who, by the way, has the biggest head I've seen in movies in a long time. And plus, they'd give him a hairstyle that makes his head look even bigger. It's this big balloon head. It's like on the billboard, right? Yeah, so it was like giant head versus a guy
Starting point is 00:26:49 whose teeth look like a fence that's all fucked up. Like in poor condition fence. He was in Warrior, that guy, right? Yeah. But you'd think Chelsea Handler, as Reese Witherspoon's friend in this means more, would go, why not go with a guy whose teeth aren't fucked up, right? Like, why would she stay interested in him? Because the other guy, Chris Pine, has amazing teeth.
Starting point is 00:27:18 Yeah, no, great teeth. Great teeth. I don't know. I'm just trying to play along. But I don't know what you'd be more scared by A giant head or like the teeth Coming at you Teeth could be fixed I don't know, put a bag over their heads, right ladies?
Starting point is 00:27:32 Woo! Chris Pine put this bag on I'm gonna fuck you That's why I hang out with Joey, he's a good guy Thanks Brody, positive energy You got it, push push push Push push push, positive push That's why I hang out with Joey. He's a good guy. Thanks, Brody. Positive energy. You got it.
Starting point is 00:27:48 Push, push, push. Push, push, push. Positive push. Well, I saw Extremely Loud and Incredibly Cloying, and I have to say that it's the funniest movie yet about 9-11 of the three or four that have been made. It's funnier than Flight 93? It's funnier than Flight 93? It's funnier than Flight 93? I don't think that's the right number, is it?
Starting point is 00:28:08 Flight 93, yeah. I think you took a good stab at it. Was it 93? Yes. Yeah. United Southwest. Yeah, not Flight United. Okay.
Starting point is 00:28:15 I knew you got something wrong. I knew there was something to judge. You corrected me incorrectly, though. Yes, I incorrectly corrected you. United 93 was more like dry humor farcical little farcical but I thought I thought extremely loud incredibly close was more like slamming doors and then the buildings go that like slamming doors farce planes hit I just all want, the only reason I even brought
Starting point is 00:28:46 it up is just to say, you know, can I recommend Extremely Close and the other thing? And the answer is Anyone who sat through it would enjoy that. I wrote no on my hand
Starting point is 00:29:07 like this morning not thinking that a day of doing things would make it fade. So as soon as I got out here I went, oh my great joke is ruined and I've been just drawing on my hand while you guys talk. So everyone who's been watching me
Starting point is 00:29:21 set up this gag that is only for the people here, not for the listeners. I caught a glimpse. I thought you were getting autistic during the show. I got tired of how much everybody's talking. I decided to give you a secret signal. You literally... I'm going to do that from now on. The next time Jeff Garland's on I'm gonna have no I want to listen to
Starting point is 00:29:52 that I'm just gonna be like Jeff Jeff you'll launch it is some long story about the time he met an Indian or something. Do they hold their hand up like that? I don't know. Let's play some games, you guys. Yes. Positive energy. We're behind it, Brody.
Starting point is 00:30:17 You got it. Learned it. Brody Stephen. I hope one of you wins really fast to get this over with. We play a quick round of build a title. Don't cheat and look. We got a title from somebody in the Twitterverse, the Twittersphere.
Starting point is 00:30:36 And we'll start with Brody and go to Joe on this one. Then we'll come around to Matt and then Michael. You know, In order of how aware you are of this show and how the games work, I think. At the realist Phil,
Starting point is 00:30:53 realist Phil, even though realist isn't a word, maybe he's a realtor. Realist Phil suggested Incredible Mr. Limpet. So, Brody, you have to come up with a movie that ends in
Starting point is 00:31:07 some part of the word incredible or begins with some part of the word limpet. Limpet. P-E-T. Limpet. What do you think, Brody? Could I do The Incredibles? No. You're out.
Starting point is 00:31:26 You were just on the show two weeks ago. You seem frustrated, Doug. No, no. It's moving along quickly when that happens. Joe, what do you think? Incredible. Begins with pet. Yes, The Incredible Mr. Limpet Cemetery. Joe what do you think incredible begins with a double pet yes the incredible ends with stir limp at cemetery yeah exactly as I had hoped so Matt Walsh you
Starting point is 00:31:57 need something that begins with incredible or part of the word incredible don't have to use the whole word. Just need to... A movie? Use the front part, not just add an S to it. Or... Cemetery. Oh. Some guy in the audience either thought of a title or remembered that he needs to bury a loved one.
Starting point is 00:32:22 Oh. Oh. Oh. That was something I had to do today. He cut to his to-do list. Everything's crossed out except very loved one. Kill loved ones crossed off. What am I forgetting got my tickets to Bang Bang
Starting point is 00:32:53 got to UCB early for Douglas Moon oh my house stinks what could that be that's the other thing on the list buyer pressure alright Matt you've had plenty of time to think any ideas at all what was Joe's correct answer What could that be? That's the other thing on the list. Buyer pressure. All right, Matt.
Starting point is 00:33:07 You've had plenty of time to think. Any ideas at all? What was Joe's correct answer? Or execution of the game? That he added Lin Pet Secretary. So we've got Incredible Mr. Lin Pet Secretary. Cemetery. And then if there's a movie that has cemetery. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:24 It's a tough one. I'm going to pass. All right, you're out. It's hard, right, Matt? Michael Bacall? Anything? No. All right.
Starting point is 00:33:35 I'll give Brody one little clue. You can use the ink part of incredible. Ink-redible. Incredible Shrieking Woman. All right, Joe Wagner's our winner Wait I was How does that not work in I don't even understand what you said
Starting point is 00:33:56 Incredible shrinking woman We'll hold like a tutorial sometime Where I I'll go to that class Thank you, man. Good guy. I was thinking one way you could go is
Starting point is 00:34:07 Food Inc. Incredible. Oh, Food Inc. Remember that? Monsters Inc. Yeah, all the Inks. Hey, real quick movie trivia.
Starting point is 00:34:15 Well done, Joe. I'm on Depakote. Sorry. Poison Inc. Movie trivia. Incredible Mr. Olympia was an animated film with Don Knotts
Starting point is 00:34:23 where he played a fish and Zach Galifianakis was like... They were considering him for the remake. Jim Carrey got it. No, no, no. Jim Carrey was attached for years. And then they were thinking about Zach. They never did it, right?
Starting point is 00:34:37 They never did it. But he was at the top of their list to be the new animated fish. What else has never happened in cinema? Could you give us some more what didn't happen in trivia? One guy was going to get something. Tom Selleck, Indiana Jones, heard it.
Starting point is 00:34:52 He didn't get it. Heard it. Ronald Reagan. Thomas Jane. Robert Goren's. Heard it. All right. Thomas Jane turned on Iron Lady.
Starting point is 00:35:09 I need each of you gentlemen to pick a name tag from the audience of who you'd like to play for in the Leonard Maltin game at this time. Here they come. Here come the name tags. I said it rather suddenly. Jordan, of course, is always here with his baseball. Got a gentleman with a... Is that a full beer? Oh, that's enticing.
Starting point is 00:35:25 Do you have a bottle opener as well, or is there a twist-off? And this gentleman has his medical card. Chelsea has her mouse ears. Her name's Chelsea. She'd hear a lot. So just get up and go into the audience and pick the name tag that you would like to play for. Just go and take it from them. And if you could be back in less than 30 seconds, I would appreciate it.
Starting point is 00:35:44 I'll do my plugs now instead of at the end. Just pick any name tag you want, Joe. Oh, you got one. Okay, don't ask questions. My plugs are that I'll be at the Ontario Improv with Brandon Walsh on Sunday, March 4th. I'll be on the Adam Carolla Show at the Irvine Improv on March 8th. I'll be at Acme Comedy Club in Minneapolis on Thursday, March 29th at 10.30pm. And I'll be doing a Doug Loves Movies
Starting point is 00:36:07 at Flappers in Burbank on April 5th. All these dates, of course, are in Two Oceans 12. You did it! Matt Walsh is back with a name tag. Who is it? Who are you playing for? It's a kumquat. It's a... Marlena. It's a big lemon. She spelled her own name wrong.
Starting point is 00:36:24 She spelled her own name wrong. She spelled her own name wrong. She tried to spell Marlena. That's all that matters. And don't say what it says on the back because that's for the end of the show. If you lose, I have to name this person that she's calling a shit at. Did you write it twice and mean to only write the first name? Or is she?
Starting point is 00:36:39 The pen wasn't working. Alright, we'll get you back up here if you lose. But good luck to you, Marlena. That's weird. It's a frisbee that Michael chose. It says, if lost, please call. Do you want me to read your number?
Starting point is 00:36:58 No, you don't. Philip Smith. This is very formal. It doesn't feel like it was for this purpose. It feels like the guy just didn't ever want to lose this amazing frisbee, so he wrote his name and phone number on it. And then who are you playing for, Brody?
Starting point is 00:37:15 Oh, he picked Chelsea, and he put the mouse ears on. That's delightful. It's a good look for you. And Joe is playing for someone named Jeff, who turned a jar of peanut butter from Jif to Jeff. And he did a great job. It says,
Starting point is 00:37:29 choosy comedians choose Jeff. That's good. That's A for effort. That's a good one. That's a really good one. I'm very excited. Some of the most crafty fans, Doug. Some of your fans are very crafty.
Starting point is 00:37:43 I chose Chelsea because I used to work there when it was just folding chairs I created the energy there and on several shows give me positive energy positive on these fucking mouse ears and I got nothing from you guys are you supposed to get a little more than what I got you supposed to get? A little more than what I got. Wow. Wow, negative energy.
Starting point is 00:38:09 Come on, positive energy, Brody. Come on. Smile! You look so cute right now. Alright, Joe, you get to go first. You get to pick, because you won Build a Title. What do I do? You get to pick a category. I will read them to you. Okay. Just like on the podcast you get to go first. You get to pick because you won Build a Title. What do I do? You get to pick a category. I will read them to you.
Starting point is 00:38:26 Okay. Just like on the podcast you claim to have heard. Backstage, he was like, I listen to it all the time. Big fan, big fan. Is it bad for a show when people ask you, what do I do, what do I do? I'm ready to pick. No, it comes with the territory because I can't really expect everybody to listen to the show
Starting point is 00:38:46 before they come on it. But I also hope that they'll just play along and not slow things down by being stupid. You made your bet, now lie in it. But it's always fun either way. I'm not going to return your calls.
Starting point is 00:39:02 That was already happening. You don't like texting? Is that the problem? I love texting! What's going on, you guys? Let's figure this out. I'm so into texting. Give me a category.
Starting point is 00:39:15 I'm just so happy you're here. Here's Johnny. It's movies where someone does an impression of Jack Nicholson for whatever stupid reason. Or it's Gilbert Gottfried's birthday. So the films of Gilbert Gottfried. He's been in a few.
Starting point is 00:39:31 Or it's Leap Year. Leap Day tomorrow. So movies that are called Leap Year. Play this right, Joe. You know the traps that can occur in this game because you listen all the time. What was the second one? Gilbert Gottfried.
Starting point is 00:39:59 Yeah, I want that one. Okay. Yeah. I think that's challenging. Positive energy. Positive energy. One and a half stars from Leonard Maltin. He calls this movie, and don't guess until
Starting point is 00:40:13 I ask you to. In case you really haven't listened ever. You've watched it here a few times. Yeah, I think. Yeah, you've been in the room. He calls this film clumsy, crude, and immature. He also says it's for fans of the star of the movie only. One and a half stars from 1990.
Starting point is 00:40:35 Gilbert Gottfried is in it. I got it. Hang on. Gilbert Gottfried is in it. And when we start the bidding, you can bid all the way. If you think you know it, you can bid zero names or negative names. But let me tell you how many names you can start at if you want to. Negative names.
Starting point is 00:40:50 I know it. How many negative? How many names do you think you name it from the top of the cast list down? Oh, shit. In the right order. In the right order. In the right order? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:00 How many? No, then I'll go zero names. You could go one, probably. Yeah, I can't go one. I can go two. You know what then I'll go zero names. You could go one, probably. Yeah, I can go one. I could go two. You know what? I'll go three. You ballsy motherfucker.
Starting point is 00:41:12 All right, Brody, you're next. What do you think? Do you want to just ask him to name it, or do you think you can go negative four names? Joe's pretty confident. He's been on a roll. This is the chess match. This is the chess match.
Starting point is 00:41:36 Brody versus Joe. You know what? I'd like to see him name that movie. Okay. Negative three names. I think you have a shot here and what's the movie called Joe the name of the movie is problem child that's incorrect that's how you play the, that's disrespectful. Joe, no. I wouldn't have done that.
Starting point is 00:42:16 Jeff is going to be so happy to get that back. What were the three names, though? I'm curious. John Redhurst. John Redhurst, yes. Amy Yazbek. This is like watching a talking horse movie. I hope it doesn't come back to you because you got peanut butter in your mouth.
Starting point is 00:42:42 The movie is The Adventures of Ford Fairlane. And you would have had to name Andrew Dice Clay, Wayne Newton, and Priscilla Presley in order. It doesn't come back to you because you got peanut butter in your mouth. The movie is The Adventures of Ford Fairlane. And you would have had to name Andrew Dice Clay, Wayne Newton, and Priscilla Presley in order. Which I don't think you would have been able to do even if you did know it. Lauren Holly did that. But it was a fun. Yes, she is. I bet you Matt's getting you a paper towel. You get nothing for knowing that.
Starting point is 00:43:00 I guarantee you Matt Walsh is getting you a paper towel. Also, you know who's not? Zach Galifianakis was never called about this movie. Yeah. A little factoid. Yeah, man. Some people who listen to your dumb show might want to know that.
Starting point is 00:43:14 That's what I tell you. Walsh, I read your instinct. All right. Shit about him, so whatever. All right, we start with Michael. Michael gets to pick a category. Then we'll go in the direction, and of course Brody has a point,
Starting point is 00:43:31 and we'll go in the direction of Brody. We'll go back at Brody. What would you like, Michael? Would you like Just 10 H suggested? Forget about it. That's movies where someone in the film has Alzheimer's disease. Or the King of Pancakes category, the number one movie five years ago to this very day.
Starting point is 00:43:56 The number one box office hit five years ago on this day. Or In Theaters Now, that's movies that are in theaters now. Everyone knows it. What was the second? The second one was five years ago to this very day. All right, let's do that. Or, forget about it. Okay, five years ago, this was the number one movie.
Starting point is 00:44:19 It came out in 2007, which I'm hoping is five years ago. Two stars from Leonard. He calls this movie, he says, I'm going to just read the last line. It might have been better if it didn't take so long to spell out its premise and get up ahead of steam. From 2007. Number one movie
Starting point is 00:44:45 five years ago. And Leonard lists eight names. How many names do you think you can get in? Michael Bacall. Project X opens Friday. Seven.
Starting point is 00:44:59 I don't know. Seven's a good opening bid. We go to Brody Stevens. I'm feeling it. So he just knocked one off there, Brody. I'll say five names. Five, he says. We go to Brody Stevens. So he just knocked one off there, Brody. I'll say five names. Five, he says. We go to Joe Wagner, who can
Starting point is 00:45:10 challenge Brody or bid lower. Yeah, I'll go with three. Whoa, three names. Matt Walsh, what do you think of that? Let's keep the peanut butter away this time. I think I know. Bottom to top? You're going to tell me the names? This is going to be bottom to top, and so far you only get three out of eight names.
Starting point is 00:45:26 Number one movie, five years ago. I'll go two. Wow. From the bottom. Now, Michael. It's over to Michael. Name it. He says name it.
Starting point is 00:45:33 This is the chess match, Brody. This is the chess match. Yeah. Okay. It took a long time to pick up a head of steam, and it's from five years ago to this very day. Two stars from Leonard. And your two names are Brett Cullen.
Starting point is 00:45:48 Oh, my God. You're such a liar. And Peter Fonda. Oh. God bless America. I'm going to say I wish it was this movie, but it's not.
Starting point is 00:46:05 Oh, you thought it was something else? Yep. The only Peter Fonda movie I know of recent. I'll say Uly's Gold. No. No, he was the top-billed person in Uly's Gold. In this movie, he was 7th or 8th billed.
Starting point is 00:46:22 7th billed. And the rest of the names are Matt Long, Donald Logue, Sam Elliott, Wes Bentley, Eva Mendez. And what is it? Ghost Rider. Ghost Rider. Ghost Rider. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 00:46:35 Nicolas Cage in Ghost Rider. Yeah. It took him five years to come up with a new crappy Ghost Rider. Number one? Number one. Five years ago to today in February. A little bit after Valentine's Day when the men grabbed control again of the shitty movies that the couples were going to go see.
Starting point is 00:46:51 Yeah, yeah. That's totally what it is. It's a good time of year to release an action movie because the guys just had to see the fucking vow or the notebook or some shit. So then they get to pick the next one. This means war was supposed to be like, oh is guys and girls can both enjoy this terrible movie. Project X. All right.
Starting point is 00:47:10 So Michael's on the board. We got to go. We got to go. Michael's on the board. Brody's on the board. Matt challenged Michael. So we start with Joe and then we'll come towards Matt.
Starting point is 00:47:22 Okay. So we start with Joe. You get to pick a category. Would you like a movie with four letters in the title like Swat, Paul, or Milk? Or Darshe Blows? It's movies where
Starting point is 00:47:32 someone gets a blowjob? Or... Doug, you can stop right there. Or... Yeah? You like the blowjob category? Yeah. Here we go.
Starting point is 00:47:46 It doesn't happen that often, you know, in mainstream cinema. Yeah. Oh, and you got one where you get to pick the year. Yeah, there's two choices. Would you like 1989 or 2004? A movie where someone gets a blowjob. I'm feeling the older chick in the audience who just said 1989. The older chick?
Starting point is 00:48:04 Yeah. Yeah. chick? Yeah. Selling Sinatra. Alright, it's from 1989. Leonard gives it three and a half stars. He calls this movie insightful. He says it's a multi-character comedy. And he also says about this movie that it was followed by a TV series.
Starting point is 00:48:22 Yeah, and there are 12 names. How many names did you get it in? Joey Wags. And there's a blowjob in the movie, a simulated oral sex act. No, I believe an actor and an actress had actual, I don't know. Yeah, it was simulated. Well, I can get it in four names.
Starting point is 00:48:46 Three names. Whoa! What is happening? The year is 89. Name it. Michael says name it. For the win, if you don't get this. I know what I'm thinking.
Starting point is 00:48:59 It's insightful. It's multi-character comedy followed by a TV series and you get three names. 1989. Your three names. 1989. Yeah, your three names are the great Paul Link. Paul Link, don't know. Have you heard of a gentleman called Joaquin Phoenix? 1989 Joaquin Phoenix.
Starting point is 00:49:15 And Dennis Dugan. Those are your three names. Oh my God. I hope and pray you have no idea. I don't have an idea. So we can just shut this thing down We're five minutes over Autofocus That's a terrific guess
Starting point is 00:49:32 Because that in fact was a film And it probably did have some oral sex in it Do you have an idea, Brody? What do you think? Just for fun? Skin deep? No I have one What do you think? Just for fun? Skin deep? No. I have one. What do you think, Joe?
Starting point is 00:49:48 Parenthood? That's correct. Really? Yeah. Parenthood. Mary Steenburgen blows Steve Martin in the car and they have an accident. Oh, I closed my eyes for that.
Starting point is 00:49:59 I auditioned. I should know that. I should know that. I auditioned for the Parenthood TV show with Ron Howard. He had a baseball cap on. He did? For the neurotic kid. That's weird.

And also, who's Brody playing for? Oh, you wrote it down. Chelsea. Nice. Thanks, Chelsea. Out of respect. It says Handler on the other side.
Starting point is 00:50:54 And then you want to try it? You want to come write the rest of this? 400 shows are worth it. Because I can only read the one name. That's fine. Just the first name? Yeah, that's fine. Okay. You're going to insult a lot of people with that. But we'll give it a shot. We'll see what happens. Oh, that's right. Okay. You're going to insult a lot of people with that.
