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
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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!
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
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.
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
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
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,
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
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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,
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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.
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
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.
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,
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.
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?
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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?
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?
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.
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!
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!
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?
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?
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.
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,
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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!
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.
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,
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
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,
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.
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?
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,
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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?
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.
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?
Flight 93, yeah.
I think you took a good stab at it.
Was it 93?
Yes.
Yeah.
United Southwest.
Yeah, not Flight United.
Okay.
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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,
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
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
Food Inc.
Incredible.
Oh, Food Inc.
Remember that?
Monsters Inc.
Yeah, all the Inks.
Hey, real quick
movie trivia.
Well done, Joe.
I'm on Depakote.
Sorry.
Poison Inc.
Movie trivia.
Incredible Mr. Olympia
was an animated film
with Don Knotts
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?
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.
He didn't get it.
Heard it.
Ronald Reagan.
Thomas Jane.
Robert Goren's.
Heard it.
All right.
Thomas Jane turned on Iron Lady.
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.
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.
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
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.
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?
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?
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?
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,
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
someone gets a blowjob?
Or...
Doug, you can stop right there.
Or...
Yeah?
You like the blowjob category?
Yeah.
Here we go.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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?
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.
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.
I got to have you back on to talk about Free Willy, but in the meantime, Michael Bacala
is our winner tonight, everybody.
Yeah.
So the Frisbee gets the bag.
There you go.
Congratulations.
Enjoy all that stuff with our compliments.
Michael, you have any passes or project acts that I can get?
Maybe.
Yes.
Premieres tomorrow night.
Can I go to that?
Maybe.
Don't make any promises on the show.
Who else were you guys playing for?
Where's Jeff?
Come over here, Jeff.
Did you write a shithead on the back?
I don't think so.
So come over and just write one down on this piece of paper for me.
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.
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. But we'll
give it a shot. We'll see what happens.
Well, that's a good one.
Alright, so we got that, that, and that. Alright.
And Joe Wagner, anything to plug?
Anything coming up after Friday?
Yes, I'm friends with Brody Stevens.
Steven. Brody Stevens.
Watch for him to show up wherever Brody is.
What do you got coming up, Brody? We hang out.
I've got a show in the Gower Gulch tonight.
I have an 1115 spot at the Comedy Store this weekend.
What else is going on tomorrow and the next?
Give me every day up until when this comes out.

You kind of look like
The guy who
Who slays the
abominable snowman in the
Red Rose Reindeer special.
What's his name? Cornelius?
Yukon Cornelius. I'll take that as a compliment.
You should. It is. It's just from the
nose down. From under the nose
down. Yeah, look at that. It's total
Yukon Cornelius.
Yeah, put your Mooroon hat on him.
So I look like a cartoon character from the 70s.
Yeah, now go kill a snowman.
Well, it is cold.
There was snow yesterday.
Michael Bacall.
The Project X movie opens on Friday.
March 2nd.
If you want to see something completely morally repugnant on March 2nd, go see the Lorax.
Do that today.
Oh, um.
You want to see something awesome?
Yeah, yeah.
Lorax is like Hollywood liberal movie,
and Project X is more like a Republican party with teenagers.
And then, speaking of partying teenagers,
21 Jump Street...

Yeah. Nice.
That comes out April 22nd. You're always working.
I always see you in things. Yeah.
Yeah, you do good work.
HBO loves me.
They do, because you come in swearing,
and they're like, that's perfect for us.
You come in swearing with your dick out,
and they're like, that's what we want.
That was my audition.
That's what we needed.
I just made a choice.
I just went in there with a choice,
and I stuck to it.
All right, thanks, you guys.
And thank you, everybody, for coming,
and I'll see you next week.
And as always, Andrew, for coming. And I'll see you next week.

There's no room in his heart for you.
Because Doug loves movies!
