Doug hates candy wrappers, screaming babies, sticky seeds with 50 acid pop or kernels in his teeth. There's still not one that he won't see, cause Doug loves movies! Hey, hey, hey everybody! My name is Doug and I love scary movies. That's right, this is Doug Loves Scary Movies for the entire month of October. We talk a lot about horror. It's Sunday, October 2nd, 2022. And my guests today are Brett Morgan, Kelly McInerney, and Matthew Patrick Davis. Hello, everybody. Hello.

That's the part where everybody responds at the same time. Of course, like what he just talked to all of us. So let's meet everybody individually. Starting with first up, I'm thrilled to have this guest back. He's the director and pretty much everything else of Moon Age Daydream. Terrific. David Bowie, I don't even think doc's the right word, just experience that is in theaters now. His name is Brett Morgan. Hello, Brett. Doug, thank you so much for having me back in the program. I mean, you spent, you were on this show seven years ago promoting Kurt Cobain Montage of Heck. You were on this show seven years ago promoting Kurt Cobain montage of heck.

And that's how long it took you to do this David Bowie movie. You've been working on it ever since, right? I've been working on it ever since. And I have a quick little story for you about the last time I went in your show. I thought I was getting, I thought I was, I thought I was going to your get stone podcast. I didn't realize it was the movie podcast. And I got so baked before I showed up, thinking that you weren't going to be able to push me over the hill.

And I remember running into, I think it was Michael Sheen or someone in the dressing room. And I was like, so how stoned are you? And he was like, what are you talking about? And I was like, wait, what do you mean, dude? You're not high. He goes, no, this isn't a getting high show. It's a movie trivia show.

So I just want to say that I've come fully prepared today until you sort of signaled that it was the horror day. So I may be a little off my game, but thank you for the invitation. Oh, well, you know, I think even though horror will come up today,'s more um it's more the discussion part than the uh well actually the games have some horror stuff in them too but uh your overall general knowledge of of film should should help you out i think you did

even though you were high i think you did all right the last time you were on. Thank you, Doug. Also joining us today. Same can be said of my filmmaking, actually. Well, before I introduce the next guest, I will say that a thing that people need to know, two things that people need to know about Moon Age Daydream is that I feel like if you're not a Bowie fan or super into Bowie that you it you will be by the time it's over and that also um you should see it you know as big as possible because um obviously movie screens are hard to uh get these days and it's it's still in theater so so try to go out and see it in a theater if you can. That's fine.

You're welcome. Also joining us today, it's comedian and returning champ Kelly McInerney. How's it going, Kelly? Hey, it's good. How about you? I'm all right. Excited to have you back again. Yeah.

I'm excited, too. I'm a fan of both of the people out here i'm like oh my god it's it's like i i'm so excited that's it i'm speaking gibberish that's how excited i am because you did see you in fact saw a moon moon age daydream yes yeah and it was so good like i i guess i wasn't expecting like a like a found footage documentary type deal, but it was like, so fun. You just, yeah. You fall in love with David Bowie all over again and you got to see it in IMAX. It's so cool. And the, the next guest, I,

I, I, I, we did the recommendations last time and I recommended Barbarian. That was my pick and it's exciting to meet somebody that was in it. I don't want to spoil who it is the next one. But yeah, this is exciting. I can't wait to play movie games with people that actually make movies. It is awful cool. And I will go ahead and introduce that gentleman you were referring to right now. From the Motion Picture Barbarian, it's Matthew Patrick Davis.

Hello, Doug. Thank you for having me. Hello. How's it going, man? Super, super. I've been a fan of this show for a long time, so I'm happy to be on it. I've been a fan of this show for a long time so I'm happy to be on it and it's beautiful

the way this came together because I had not seen Barbarian and I was through channels found out that you'd be interested in being a guest on this show and then I sat down and watched the movie and completely forgot

about that. I should be looking for somebody that's eventually going to be on my podcast. And then in the end credits, when I saw your name, I went, oh, wait a second. That guy is going to be on my show. And oh, what an interesting role he had, because it's a terrifying movie. And it's mostly because of the role you play, uh, in the film, uh, which is, uh, not to give it away. I think the less people, this is one of those movies where everyone goes around saying the less, you know, the better.

Yeah. So we'll just say that you are effective and, uh, and, uh, and that, uh, people should see it. Um, most of how long award I I'm hoping for that one. Yeah. And that people should see it. Most effective award. I'm hoping for that one. Yeah. I mean, because that's a compliment for a scary character, right? That it is effective.

It's really, yeah. And, of course, Justin Long's a friend of the show. He's been on a bunch of times. And he's also kind of a surprise in the movie if you if you go in absolutely cold uh he he suddenly just sort of pops up but it's it's delightful yeah it keeps you guessing too that's what i like you know like i love a guess it like keeps you on your toes horror movie oh so good sorry sorry yeah it takes a lot of right turns yeah so many right turns but does not end up back in this where they started okay maybe it doesn't go completely around the block well uh before we play the games today i always like to get recommendations from my guests and

since we are uh into the month of october i would like everybody if you don't mind to recommend uh a horror movie last week kelly uh we weren't even doing horror movies and she brought up barbarian but um what's another horror movie that you you know maybe a undiscovered gem that you've seen kelly oh man an undiscovered gem i can i can i don't know if i should um i really like i know we've talked about this one before. It's not really a horror movie, but the only Undiscovered gem that I always want to talk about is Anna and the Apocalypse.

Well, it is a horror movie because it's a zombie film, but it's also a Christmas-themed musical. Yeah. So that's the twist, but it does have scary parts it's got jump scares and stuff yeah it's a little bit of everything too that's why i like and it works like sometimes when it's a little bit of everything it's too much and you're like i can't keep track but this everything kind of goes well together and the soundtrack slaps like it's so catchy. Yeah, it really is a fun movie. And I try to, like, ever since I saw it,

I try to watch it again around the holidays. I don't watch it around Halloween because it's more of a Christmas movie to me than a horror movie. Yeah, I agree. But it's scary sometimes, yeah. Yeah, no, and it's a terrific recommendation. So, excellent work thanks

i got a good one doug okay my favorite film of the year actually is called speak no evil um it's a film that i recommend if you're listening you don't look up you don't ask anyone about you just put it on um and uh and, uh, and I'm not, uh, yeah, it scared the fucking shit out of me and was so well-made. Um, it's, it's definitely on top of my list for the year. It's so uncomfortable, makes you feel so uncomfortable at the end. I saw it too. And I, I agree, Brett, but that's it. Sorry. That's another good, uh, I agree Brett that's it sorry that's another good you know that's another nice thing to say about a horror movie is

very uncomfortable because you know that's what they're looking for now Matthew you were you a fan of horror movies before you took on this scary role I have a lot of horror movies before you took on this uh scary role i i have a lot of horror blind spots like i do you know like i love the shining and i love evil dead 2 and those things but uh

going up going when i was on set in bulgaria last summer i did ask zach the writer and director um who is a big horror fan i was like what, what should I watch while I'm here? And so my recommendation will be the first one that he recommended to me that I just rewatched with my brother down in San Diego last night. And I am really proud of myself for watching it again, because when I watched it the first time, I was not sure if I could do that again. And it's Audition, the Japanese movie from 1999.

Whoa. Yeah, I've never seen it because i just like i i don't know if i could handle it yeah i think i wouldn't recommend watching it alone in a hotel in bulgaria with your headphones on because the sound design of that movie is very intense and i just noticed watching it again on a regular TV last night. I'm like, I'm glad that those sounds are not in my head right now at this moment. They're in the town.

What's that? Yeah. They're, they're away in the TV as opposed to like in my ears at this moment. It was, it's hard to watch. Yeah. That's a, you know, interesting, uh, recommend,

recommendation from that dude. Like, uh, you know, he, he, he might've lost you, you know, that very day, uh, you might, you might've been like, Oh, what am I getting into? This is what this director likes. Right. Well, he had me trapped in Bulgaria. There was no way to go. Yeah. Well, that's, is it like, like I know I don't think it was Bulgaria, but also did you watch the hostile films while you were there? Because that would probably also be especially creepy if you were in another country. I've nary seen a hostile. That was my first time. They also recommended Hereditary.

So that was my first time seeing that. Oh, God. The Descent and Don't Breathe. And then the original The Thing. So those are the ones I watched when I was there. The black and white The Thing? Oh, sorry, not the original. The John Carpenter one.

Yes. Yeah, they remade that recently. They remade the John Carpenter one, I guess you could say, with the lady in the Kurt Russell role. The Kurt Russell one is amazing. The practical onset effects in that movie are so cool. But all of those movies, damn, you had a real... They didn't just recommend you know easy to digest horror movies they gave you some real real rough ones i was real effed up i like it uh all right well those are great recommendations for uh scary things for people to watch getting the uh getting

the month going right i'll be asking my my guests all month to recommend horror films so that the listeners can scare the shit out of themselves this month. And we're going to go to a quick break and then we're going to play some games. We'll be right back. We are back and I'd like to play a game called How Long Is It? I'd like to play a game called How Long Is It? And it's a game where each of you has to guess how long something is. It's always something different. But the person who's closest without going over wins.

And here's what we're going to do today. Tom Hanks' first movie role was in the horror film He Knows You're Alone. And so the question is, how long is the list of people murdered by the killer in that film? I don't know if any of you are familiar with that movie, so it might just be a wild guess you have to take. know if any of you are familiar with that movie so it might just be a wild guess you have to take we'll start with brett do you have any idea what the body count is in uh he knows you're alone well i'm listening my my logic here is that this must be somewhere around 79 80 right because bosom buddies uh launched somewhere in that period and so then it's so now we're talking with 70s horror film uh the body counts generally weren't that enormous so i'm gonna go with a lucky number seven okay that seems like i mean you just said there's body counts aren't

very high and then came up with seven i didn didn't think that was too extreme, but we're going to find out soon enough. Yeah. Yeah. That's true. I just, you know, like thinking of like all the summer camp and Friday the 13th movies, it seems like there is around that number of campers get killed, but we'll see Kelly. Do you have a, what do you ever see this movie never seen it never heard of it wild guess he knows you're alone taking it okay so he's alone the guy i'm just guessing uh tom hanks dies one that's it wait wait so who do you think that he is in the

title is it tom hanks or i don't i don't think so i think that he is in the title? Is it Tom Hanks? I don't think so. I think that he is the killer. Like Tom Hanks. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. You're the one that's alone. Yeah, he's the you. He is the bad guy. Yeah, yeah.

So I think the killer, yeah, just kills the main character. It seems like they're just, it seems like the, I don't know, a phone call calling you up. Hey, are you alone? And then is that how this movie starts? Maybe that's what I'm going to, I'm coming over to kill you. Are you alone? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And then slash slash slash by Tom. It's a reasonable question. Yeah. To ask when you're going to murder somebody is if there's going to, you know,

am I going to have to, you're going to have to kill more than one person. Is there going to be other people around that I have to kill? Cause then you got to really pace yourself, you know, am I going to have to kill more than one person? Is there going to be other people around that I have to kill? Because then you got to really pace yourself, you know? That's like a workout killing more than one person, I'd imagine. A lot of arms slashing. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Matthew?

Yes. What are you thinking? Have you seen this classic movie? Somehow I've missed it. Yeah, I think a lot of people missed it. But, you know, just for Tom Hanks completists, you know, it's important. How many people would you guess die? We got one and we got seven.

So you got a little room here to operate. Right. My initial instinct was also that it was on the lower side. Although when I hear about seven people dying, I don't think that's a low amount. You know, let me see. So I'm going to do in the middle for. You're going with four. Yep. All right.

They're going with four. Yep. All right. So to recap, Brett's guessing that seven people die at the hands of the killer, and he knows you're allowed. Kelly's going with one, and Matthew says four. And, you know, horror may not be your thing, Brett, but sniff this one out because it is the answer is seven oh yeah oh god it so helps to be sober on this show uh there's two like debatable deaths in the film meaning like you're not you don't really see the person necessarily

die and one of them is like from a stray bullet from a cop or something so uh i guess there might be nine but we're we're calling it seven for our purposes today and that means that brett morgan you won that first game and all you really win is you get to go first in the next uh game that we play uh that we'll get to after the break but since you did so well in that game brett let's talk moon age daydream a little bit more um hold on a second so the the reward for winning is i get to promote my movie for an extra 30 seconds. Thank you, Doug. You get to talk about it some more. Yeah, because obviously it changed the subject to horror movies rather quickly,

which isn't fair because it does need to be stressed. People need to go out and see this movie on the biggest screen they can. Is it like another week, another two weeks? What's the time frame they have to get out and see this? Well, if they're in Southern California, it's playing exclusively in IMAX at the Chinese Theater in the big room this week. We're in, I think, 700 screens, normal 2D screens around America. But, you know, the way the movies go now every week week new movies come in, you get pumped out. So we'll see how long we're in theaters.

But we've had a great run so far. So hopefully people will be able to see it for the next few weeks. Yeah, I mean, there was definitely movies that could take over the IMAX slot at the Chinese. But your movie was packing people in in a way that made them bring it. Like it went away for a couple of days and came back. Right. Yeah. What happened? What was so crazy is we, we, we opened there three weekends ago. We broke their house record for documentaries that weekend. It was phenomenal. I think they did a, it's in like 65,000 that weekend.

We got pushed out for the Harry Styles film and moved over to their Atmos theater. And we were selling more tickets over there than they were in the IMAX room. So they brought us back this weekend. So it's very exciting. Yeah, I mean, I'm not throwing a lot of shade at Don't Worry, Darling, but it doesn't even strike me as a IMAX kind of movie, especially compared to Moon Age Daydream. So of course, you know, that switch seems like it was inevitable and I'm glad people can still see it.

I saw when you posted a video from the opening weekend where some guy was, you know, fucked up enough that he was just dancing around in front of the screen during the movie. It was very... Listen, I thought the film, when I made it, and when we were having our early marketing conversations with Neon,

I was aware that the film would work fairly well with psychedelics. And that's obviously like a sort of questionable sort of route to go with marketing but we really didn't seem to do and need to do anything because throughout that opening weekend it seemed like every day there were more people coming up to me with smiles after the film and just professing you know like i had the best time i took mushrooms and i i've been tripping on some acid this was great and then there was that one guy who really looked like he was on i don't know what he was on but he was just spazzing out on the floor i made the mistake at the beginning of the movie where i'm like if anyone feels the need to

dance just get on your you you know, just go ahead. And then the guy was unfortunately sitting in the front row. And so he just took the whole fucking stage. And it was like, dude, this is really distracting. Like, it's a dialogue scene. Stop dancing. Yeah. yeah uh it's uh it's a it's a it's a lot uh to uh take in and experience uh even if you're not uh you know under you know full of drugs so uh yeah it's a a wonderful experience everybody

go see it uh i feel like david bowie and psychedelics go together like mac and cheese like that's why you're not you wouldn't have to be worried with the marketing like yeah people know it's like i'm gonna go see david hell yeah shroom it up yeah i mean i love that go ahead i love kelly helping promote my movie after i won the question kelly yeah i appreciate the support i know i know that you and matthew are dying to have an opportunity to promote your own work you're gonna have to win this next question i think i'd rather use my time if i ever get it to talk more about you guys you like your movies out right now, and they're killing it. So I'll just echo your successes.

Yeah, and let's start a campaign to get Barbarian in IMAX. Yeah. I think that movie would be way like too scary at IMAX. It'd be too, too immersive. It was in the Dolby in the AMCs. And I was excited that it was in the Dolby theater. That was fun.

You know, the Dolby AMC theaters are as good, often better than IMAX. Some movies, the IMAX, you know, know i'm actually definitely have a better larger scale picture but sound uh most imax rooms the ceilings are pretty high up built up pretty high and so you're pretty far from the source of the speakers and a lot of the dolby atmos theaters you just it's like wearing headphones so also there's less recliners in IMAXs than there are in those Dolby's.

And as a, as a patron, I like, I like comfy seats. So team Dolby. By the way, did Doug, did you happen to attend the RRR screening at the Chinese Friday night? I did not, but boy, everybody's talking about it like it's the best thing that ever happened. It really was the best thing that ever happened. I mean, it was unbelievable to see 900 people all on their feet in the middle of the movie dancing. I mean, that was a really incredible experience I've never witnessed. Yeah. RRR, I think we've mentioned it on the show before because some of my guests have

recommended it. I have yet to see it. I've seen clips and I'm just like blown away by just short moments of it. But I would rather see it in a theater that I couldn't go the other night, but I'd rather see it in a theater than on TV if possible, uh, because everybody just, uh, you know, raves about it and, uh, it's super long and got lots of action and lots of, uh, it's got, and it's a music parts of it are a musical, I guess. I, you know, again, it's, I'm not like really looking into, uh, finding out more about it just cause I know enough to want to see it. And,

uh, that beyond Fest screening, yeah, everybody was just going crazy for how enthusiastic the audience was for it. Let's do another break and then play our final game of the day that will determine today's winner. Brett, you get to go first in our next game of the day that will determine today's winner. Brett, you get to go first in our next game. That's another thing you won by winning that first one. And we will do that right after this break. We'll be right back.

We're back. That was fast. My next game I'd like to play is called The Little Search Engine That Could. And the way this game works is I type a word into the search engine on the IMDB, the Internet Movie Database. And then I write down the top 10 titles of movies listed there. Based on their algorithm, they list which movies are the most popular with that word in the title. And so I write down the top 10. And the game is the three of you have to try to come up with the titles that are in this top 10.

We'll play three rounds. And in each round, you each get to guess one title. And if it's on the list, you get points. And the higher up on the list, the more points you get, with number one being worth 10 points, all the way down to number 10 being worth one point. Does all that make sense so far yes great if it makes sense be silent okay great um okay so uh the word that i typed in because

as i said it is uh halloween month uh the word i typed was dead d-e-aA-D, D-E-A-D. So this is movies that have the word dead in the title. And Brett, like I said, you get to go first. And then we will go to Matthew and then to Kelly. And we'll do, you know, you'll each get to guess three titles, but we'll do them in three rounds, you know, one at a time. So, Brett, you got your first swing here. Give me a movie that's got the word dead in it that you think would be popular with people looking stuff up on IMDb.

Well, I think the obvious thing is to go with a horror film, but I'm going to go with Dead Poets Society. Well, look at you. Look at the big brain on Brett because you absolutely nailed it because that is the number one motion picture on the list of dead titles is Dead Poets Society. I think it's because Robin Williams, either his birthday or his death day just happened, his anniversary of one of those, I think just happened. But congratulations, Brett. You're at the lead right out of the gate with 10 points. Oh, thank you, Doug. It certainly, again, helps to be sober for your show, but thank you. You think if you were high you wouldn't remember dead poet society hell no um that movie i you know of course loved it when it came out

because i loved rob williams and you know and it's just the whole thing so uh you know, what's the word? Like it's got a kind of romantic attitude about suicide or whatever. But is that movie worth another look? Do you think it holds up today? I've actually never seen it. But you've seen parodies of it where, like, people are standing on their desks and and uh you know yelling at these oh captain my captain at their teacher you know i was in college when it came out and it just didn't register um right you know so yeah like kelly matthew do you are you fans of that film i haven't seen it in a while uh but i was thinking of re-watching it because i

listened to like ethan hawke on something i'm like he seems cool and so i i don't know i don't know if it's good i think ethan hawke is very cool yeah yeah he's uh i've only seen the first part but he made a uh a doc series for i think h, HBO about Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward. Ooh. That I've been watching. I watched a little bit of it. Oh, wait a sec. Yeah, yeah, that's it.

And then he's got celebrities doing lots of the voices in the movie, or in the series. It's like six episodes long. It's like six hours of stuff about Paul Newman. Oh, cool. And Joe and Woodward was never, you know, she was, she was more famous than Paul Newman when they met, but then he just had a kind of a bigger career.

So it's interesting to learn more about her. Kelly, what do you think you have a chance to try to catch up to Brad if you can name any movie in the remaining nine films that have the word dead in the title. I have a question. Can the word be attached to another word? Do you see where I'm going here? Like it's not just dead.

It's like a superhero, deadpool does that count yes deadpool would count because you know the search engine just all it cares about is that is that the letters d-e-a-d are are in there and in that order okay so so deadpool and deadpool 2 are both uh eligible i'm going with the first guy deadpool incorrect oh man sorry kelly i'm shocked to be honest that's crazy movies are pretty popular you think the original deadpool would be in there yeah you think the nerds would Google it, especially because like the new news with the new movie. Yeah, I mean, this idea of having Wolverine like being a full character played by Hugh Jackman in a Deadpool movie makes me so happy because Logan was my favorite, you know, is one of my favorite superhero movies and my favorite Wolverine movie. And then, of course, the idea is that Hugh Jackman's going to retire. But thanks to all this multiverse crap,

it seems like they're able to bring him back in this next Deadpool. I think that'll be a lot of fun. Okay, Matthew, you're up. Well, you know, I mentioned it earlier.

Evil Dead 2. I fucked up the order, too. I to go to matthew next but as long as no one's mad we'll just keep going um but i'm not mad and uh unfortunately that's another one that surprises me evil dead 2 did not make this list i mean it's on the list, but it's past the number 10 slot. Now, Brett, do you want to rub it in even more? It's time for the second round. Can you

give us another one? Yeah, why don't we go with Dead Ringer, the Cronenberg film? Dead Ringers? Yeah. Well, Dead Ringer, i think it's i think it's ringers because oh right it could be either one but i think it's ringers because uh you know it's jeremy iron is irons as twins this is true and so that maybe it's referring to the both of them but you're right it could be just referring to just one of them, but whichever way you slice it, you know,

I know the movie you're talking about and that is number five on the list. So that's worth an additional six points. This is crazy. I don't know how you're doing it, Brett, but congratulations on your sobriety. Thank you very much, Kelly. This may be the time when you want to promote your upcoming gigs. Florida fest. I'll talk about it later.

She'll get a chance at the end. We give everybody a chance at the end to plug stuff. Thanks, Brett. Thank you. It's very nice of you. Kelly, what do you think? What's another one that might be in here? Night of the Living Dead.

Is that possible? Good one. That is a motion picture, and it does have the word dead in the title. Please, please be on the list. That's what you're going with yeah yeah i'm sorry it's not what kind of list is this movies that have dad in the time i know uh imdb really uh these are the ones they say

are the most popular right now. Matthew. That was good word. Was the word dead in any of the titles that Zach director of barbarian told you to watch? Let's see her dead. Terry. No. While you're watching hereditary for the first time, did you uh make

it a double bill with midsomer i had already seen midsummer oh god enough yeah so you'd already seen the most disturbing movie ever made right definitely prefer hereditary um all right so what do you got? Oh, man. Is there a movie called, like, Day of the Dead? There is a movie called Day of the Dead. Right, yeah. It was the third in the original George A. Romero Dead trilogy, but it did not make the list. The third made it, but the first didn't. But it did not make the list. The third made it, but the first didn't.

This is like cracking me up how absolutely spot on Brett is being. And Kelly and Matthew, who arguably went into this thing probably thinking, oh, yeah, Brett doesn't know horror movies. We know horror movies. So it's just he's just running away with this thing. But let's go ahead and do a third round. See if see if Kelly or Matthew can get some points on the board or if Brett could just add more to his legendary score. What do you got, Brett? I'm feeling pretty good about this one, to be honest, Doug. And let me just give you some logic behind it. The great Edgar Wright, who I am just guessing,

is a big draw on IMDb, given how much he appeals to cinephiles. And so I'm just going to have to go with Shaun of the Dead for round number three. And so I'm just going to have to go with Shaun of the Dead for round number three. I always love any time anybody brings up anything that Edgar's up to because he's been a terrific guest on the show over the years. And I do love his movies as well, including Shaun of the Dead, which on this list is, in fact, number nine. You're three for three, Brett. You said three movies and all three of them are on the list uh and you get two points for son of the dead so you have 18

points which is just there's no there's no way that kelly or matthew can catch up to you um but let's like i said let's see if we can get some points on the board. Yeah, I'd rather, I'd like to be on the board. Okay. So to recap, we've got Dead Poets Society, Dead Ringers, and Shaun of the Dead, all suggested by Brett, all on the list. But what else do you think might be there, Kelly? I have a good idea because I feel like people, this is a newish

movie and I feel like the fans of it are like, are Google people? I don't know. Army of the Dead? You think that? You want to go with Zack Snyder's

Netflix movie Army of the Dead. Good one. Which recently had a sequel called Army of Thieves. And it was just a heist movie without zombies, I think. I didn't even know that.

Yeah, just some of the same characters from the zombie movie, I think. Brett said it's good, so I have hope. I have good hope. No, I do want to see it. good, so I have hope. I have good hope. No, I do want to see it. And I liked Army of the Dead a lot. It's number seven. You did it, Kelly.

You picked one out of there. Hooray! Four points. That's what we call you. Four points McInerney. Yep. Okay, Matthew. This is an exciting moment. Oh, boy.

So Dead Ringer reminded me of Dead Zone. Isn't that okay? That's what you're going with oh yeah yeah well i think you meant the dead zone of course i did of course which was a motion picture based on a stephen king book and then uh starring christopher walken And then it was a TV series starring Anthony Michael Hall. And recently they've made a movie that's just called Dead Zone. So by saying it that way, you picked out the number three movie on the list. It's some movie, action movie starring Chad Michael Collins.

I'm not familiar with him But it's just called Dead Zone And it's currently number three On the list of dead movies Wow I don't need your pity points You squeaked it You got eight points

So technically you came in second If you want bragging rights If you want to tell people You got the uh the silver and not the bronze just by pure dumb luck uh let's find out the titles that we did not get to starting with number 10 i thought somebody might land on this just because it's been made twice with the same name, Dawn of the Dead. Oh, man.

That was my next choice, yeah. Yeah, this was the Zack Snyder directed and James Gunn co-authored Dawn of the Dead. And, of course, the original Dawn of the Dead is my favorite of all the zombie movies. But there's been lots of good ones, which is strange. You'd think that there would be only so much you could do with zombies. But there's been some really good ones. Number nine was Dawn of the Dead. Number eight, early Peter Jackson called Dead Alive.

A great movie. Yeah, yeah right it's really uh chaotic that movie if i remember correctly and um of course i'm curious to know brett what did you see peter jackson's uh beatles movie i now, let's go back to getting baked with Doug. The waking up for three mornings in a row last November, it was like 5.30 in the morning. Those would come online and release at my house, set the alarm and then go into the theater and watch for three hours.

It was so hypnotic and mesmerizing and truly one of the great nonfiction experiences I think I've ever had. And, and I, I don't know if I love the film. I like, but it was one of the greatest experiences I've had just kind of waking up and falling asleep and opening up your eyes again, you know, we're on take nine. And it just, it was, it was so hypnotic and beautiful. Yeah. I got to watch it, but it's a, how long is it all of it together? Like six or nine hours like six or nine hours six or nine hours and i really

highly recommend like doing it sort of in the morning like right when you wake up when you're kind of like just kind of trying to get orientated to the day all right i'll give that a try. Number six on the list was a, you were so close, Matthew. It was the original evil dead, the evil dead without the two. Damn. That came in number six.

And then five is dead ringers. And then four was, that's why I was going back and forth with you brad about ringer or ringers because number four is a betty davis movie from 1964 called dead ringer which i'm not familiar with that movie i mean i guess it sounds familiar but i never saw it i don't think uh i don't even know if it's a horror movie. Might be. And then this is where the IMDb thing really gets wacky because it's another new movie. Apparently there's a film called Dead for a Dollar that just came out somewhere.

I think it's on some screens. And it stars Rachel Brosnahan from Mrs. mazel and uh and the great willem dafoe and uh just seems to be just kind of shoved out into theaters without much fanfare because i've never heard of it and there you have it that's the little search engine that could congratulations on your big win brett uh Doug, thank you so much. Matthew and Kelly, I share this honor with you. Thank you. Thank you for killing it.

I don't know. I'm still, I'm still, I don't know. I'm still like taken aback by this dead for a dollar thing and like not, whatever. I'm happy. Nothing. I'm rambling this dead for a dollar thing and like not whatever I'm I'm happy nothing I'm rambling sorry yeah no it does it does feel uh feels unfair for the for a trivia contest to have a answer that nobody's ever heard of before but uh that's google that's that's the algorithm over at IMDB is it's just uh I guess because it is new people are uh

typing it in but they're still more excited about Dead Poets Society and um I I think I might have to revisit that one just just just to see because I I went for it hook line and sinker when I was a kid but I feel like as an adult it might be a little too schmaltzy for me um kind of like patch adams or something uh brett morgan what are you going to do now i mean you spent so much time on the david bowie movie uh you watched footage of David Bowie for several years what happens now now that it's out

well I'm going to start shooting a new film it looks like maybe the beginning of the new year it's going to be a a wild departure for me i'm it's not music related and it's not archival uh it's a movie about an iconic actor um who your audience is well familiar with but we haven't we're not ready to announce yet um

who's invited me to move in with him for several months while he goes to work on a new film with the caveat that he can never tell me to turn the cameras off. And so we're filming him both sort of on set and at home. And yeah, it's going to be it should be an adventure. Nothing else. That sounds wild. It's going to be, it should be an adventure, if nothing else. That sounds wild. It's going to be, well, when you hear the, I really want to tell you the name of the actor. I know, you must be dying to tell people. There's no one that would elicit that word than the person I'm going to be cohabitating with.

So look for that, I guess, sometime late next year. Yeah. Keep an eye out for this mystery project. That sounds amazing. Cause I, you know, I can't think of an actor that I wouldn't want to see, you know, a filmmaker put together, you know, a more personal portrait of them doing their work on a very specific project. So that, that sounds very cool. Did you see the Val Kilmer doc Val? Yeah, I really liked that. I thought that was great and very heartfelt and I don't know why I'm going to say this. As soon as you said that, I, I flashed to that film.

How maybe because it's like val and how which is the great documentary about how ashby that i highly recommend people watching but val is superb yeah great film i was just wild that um that val kilmer was just so into uh having his own camera on set and filming everything and then also continuing to film when people would tell him to stop. Like he really got so such amazing stuff over the years. Like he's been in so many classic movies and then to just see like him just on set with goofing off with everybody. It's, it's quite an amazing movie. If you haven't seen the movie Val,

the scenes of them shooting Alan of Dr. Moreau are are worth the price of admission yeah that alone is uh because everything that was such a crazy set yeah such a crazy set and then I've never I I I there's hardly a movie moment I enjoy more than uh than Val Kilmer doing a Marlon Brando impression to his face in Dr. Moreau. Oh, so fun. All right. Kelly McInerney, what do you got to plug? I'm headlining a show in Lancaster on October 11th. If anybody. California. Yeah. California. Yep. If anybody's out there, come to that. Follow me on Holly weirdo

on Twitter and Instagram for like the address and stuff. And then I'm doing fest in Gainesville, which is like a really, it's a punk rock wrestling comedy fest on hollow weekend. So that'll be fun. Gainesville, Florida. That's it. Wrestling, comedy, and what else? Punk rock? Yeah, like Less Than Jake and stuff are going to be there. Wow. Yeah, it's pretty fun. That sounds wild.

Yeah. I got to stop saying, I've said wild too many times today. Matthew, Patrick, Davis. Is that a SAG thing, thing the three names or do you like the formality no i'd rather be five first names uh no i'd love to be matt davis but uh you you'd be surprised to find out that's a common name yeah there's some there's some guy in sag out there with the name matt davis is not working It's holding you up with his use of the name. But also, the three names also, it does sound classy.

It kind of reminds me of back when I would watch MASH, and Winchester was played by David Ogden Stiers. So you've got that kind of thing. Matthew Patrick Davis is very stately. What else have you got to plug? Barbarian is in theaters still going strong. People should see it. Don't read about it first. Yep. Yep. Barbarian for sure. I mean, and then this is weird because when I last summer, when I was preparing to play a scary person in Barbarian and go to Bulgaria,

I was also writing a children's album of kids songs about dogs wow i i contain multitudes doug uh and it's called i love my dog and it's on the yoto music player and you know i like music and i like dogs so uh you know this might be up up my alley i don't know about kids songs but uh you know it's fun for adults and kids alike and uh and you can find some of that on my instagram which is matthew patrick davis there you go you have to say it fast like that otherwise people get bored matthew pat yeah and that's also like got to be maxing out the letters you can have in the name of on your uh social it must be not not not too many more characters can fit after matthew patrick davis i think i ran into that problem on twitter i think

i literally couldn't have matthew batter davis so i had to be mp MP Davis oh boy isn't this a great story MP that's those are those are weird initials like I can't think of ever knowing somebody who went by MP um but thank you for being here and I've got some stuff coming up uh Saturday October 15th I'm doing Doug Love's movies at the punchline in san francisco at 4 20 in the afternoon and then on october 22nd we're back in los angeles at the dynasty typewriter at also at 4 20 all my dates are at douglovesmovies.com and uh thanks everybody for for doing this this was a fun a fun time yeah thanks for having me again it was so fun and playing playing with uh people that i'm fans of so that

was really cool i'm sorry that i uh lost i feel like i disappointed you but well we should just we should just go ahead and say that you're a make-A-Wish kid and you wanted to be on the podcast with a guy from Barbarian, the director of amazing movies. That's the other thing. Look up Brett Morgan and then go watch his other movies as well because I have yet to see one that I didn't find fascinating. Did you watch that show, The Offer, on Paramount Plus, Brett? I did. I watched the first, I think, episode or two and thought Matthew Goode did a wonderful job as Evans.

I was quite surprised he didn't get nominated. I was quite surprised he didn't get nominated. Really, and I was, the two episodes I saw, I was pleasantly surprised by the humanity that he brought to the performance. I don't know where it ended up going, but I was happy to see Bob depicted with, you know, as someone who is quite involved in the film and not sort of in the cartoonish light that he's often projected in. Absolutely. He's terrific. He's extremely likable, of, he's cocky and, uh, but it's a, it's a great performance. And,

you know, I feel like I, the reason I would even know, like, like how well he was nailing, uh, Bob Evans voice was from watching your movie, the kid stays in the picture because, uh, you know, you hear his voice so much in that and, uh, he's got such a distinct way of, uh, speaking. Um, so yeah, the offer was, you know, it's one of those things where it's all about the making of The Godfather and the making of that movie is just so crazy that sometimes it feels like they're exaggerating.

Oops, sorry. But yeah, that guy, Matthew Goode, does a terrific job. He's not even an American. He's doing not only bob evans but an american accent it's pretty impressive you want to hear a funny uh i know you're wrapping up a really funny quick story but the the uh bob refused to narrate any of the passages in the kids season the picture related to um his cocaine bust um because he didn't do it on his book on tape. So throughout the entire time we were editing the film,

I had my voice in as a placeholder for Bob. It wasn't until four days before the film premiered that Bob agreed to come into the studio and lay down wax for that section. Otherwise it was going to be me filling in for Bob in the middle of the movie. But you heard his voice so much, and you already have, you know, you're already close to how he's, you know what I mean?

Like, you've got the raspiness down. So I bet your impression of him is pretty good. Thank you very much. Well, thank you, Bob Evans, for being here. It's been a pleasure. Along with Brett Morgan and Kelly Bacanardi and Matthew Patrick

Davis. As always, thank you, boys. Thank you. Now it's time for Doug to watch another talk. He has a gold-leaf viewing prowess. boys. Thank you.
