Starting point is 00:00:00 Doug hates candy wrappers, skinny babies, sticky seats with 50-yes and five more kernels in his teeth. They're still not warm, then he won't sleep, cause Doug loves movies! Hey, hey, hey everybody! My name is Doug and I love movies! This is Doug Loves Movies! Somebody threw in an movies. This is Doug Loves Movies. Somebody threw in an and this is Doug Loves Movies. That was adorable. Coming to you from the UCB Theater on Tuesday, November 25th.
Starting point is 00:00:34 2014 Wolf. You know the rest. Sadly, due to an unexpected power surge, the Doug Loves Movies we tried to tape in Tampa, Florida. In Tampa, Florida. Last Saturday has big
Starting point is 00:00:49 chunks of the audio missing. Halfway through each game it skips partway into the next game. And I will try to put together a version of it to post on Doug Loves Minis soon. And don't worry Tampa, I won't hold that against you.
Starting point is 00:01:06 I will definitely be back and we'll just make sure we have more backup for the recordings. Because everybody else was kind of like, yeah, Florida has a lot of power searches. Like, okay. I guess because it's hot all the time,
Starting point is 00:01:22 so the air conditioning is always on too hard. I'll be back in Florida on Thursday December 4th at the Comedy Club yeah that's right it's called the Comedy Club in Jacksonville and Los Angeles you guys hear
Starting point is 00:01:35 the 12 Guests of Christmas West Coast Edition will be on Tuesday December 16th at 8 o'clock I've been getting a lot of questions about it on Twitter. And tickets are on sale soon. UCB generally... Hey, how's it going? Usually they put tickets on sale
Starting point is 00:01:55 about 20 days in advance of a show. So count it down. December 16th, 20 days. I think we're right in the ballpark right now. So look for it at UCcbtheater.com. And it's going to be awesome. It's going to be like a two-hour extravaganza. Prize bag is a little meager at this point because this is kind of exciting.
Starting point is 00:02:24 How was traffic getting over here tonight, you guys? It was terrible, right? That's what I've been hearing. I always come over to the neighborhood like a few hours early just to be safe, and so I didn't experience any bad traffic, but I guess it's really bad right now. So two of the guests, one of whom,
Starting point is 00:02:41 every time he's on the show, skates in at the last possible moment, so I'm not that surprised that he's not here. Oh, one of them every time he's on the show skates in at the last possible moment so I'm not that surprised that he's not here but uh oh one of them's here uh that's good the longer I complain about it the more I mean it's not you know people the traffic's
Starting point is 00:02:56 bad sometimes so uh we'll uh we'll suffer through with only three out of the four guests but uh I brought a copy of Gateway Doug 2, Forced Fun, and some interesting items. I got it last night. It's Getting Doug with High taping here in Los Angeles.
Starting point is 00:03:14 Tommy Chong has a new product that he's promoting called the Smoke Swipe, and it's like a little individual towelette that you can use ten or more times to wipe the smoke smell off of your hair and clothes i haven't tried it yet so i can't vouch for it uh but it sounds sounds like it should work and then something else that sounds like it probably shouldn't work at all is marijuana. Like, I guess it's medicated lubricant.
Starting point is 00:03:51 And it's called highgasm. And there's a couple of flavors here I put in the bag. And, of course, my favorite of those being coco nut. I don't know about that at all. And I got something else in the bag that I'm going to reveal
Starting point is 00:04:10 in a second after I bring the person out here that brought it. Please give a big warm welcome, you guys, to Milana Weintraub, Paul Scheer, Baron Vaughn,
Starting point is 00:04:19 and Mr. Leonard Maltin. I was right. That motherfucker Paul Scheer always shows up at the last possible minute. And when traffic's bad on a night like tonight, who knows when he's going to get here. If he shows up at all, yeah. That's Milana, everybody. Hi.
Starting point is 00:04:47 Had to ask her backstage, how do you pronounce Weintraub? And she's like, like that. And I said it wrong the first time. And you may know her, and you definitely know her, as Lily in the AT&T commercials.
Starting point is 00:05:01 With James Van Der Beek and uh... She's got all the gestures down and everything and she's the first time guest on the show thanks for being here my pleasure i figured out how to track you down stalk you however you want to describe it because uh they were going off about you on the kevin Bean radio show here in Los Angeles one day. Yeah. Ralph Garman was talking about his big crush that he has on you. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:30 What a loser. Yeah. And he said your name, though, so I was able to look you up. And you were already following me on Twitter. I was like, bam! I know. So I was able to write to you and ask you to do this. So that's exciting when those kind of connections can happen. It was easy because I already loved movies.
Starting point is 00:05:47 There you go. Yeah. And that's why everybody loves me, because of their love of movies. I just glommed onto it. And weed and food. But speaking of movies, the co-host of a brand new podcast that I'm very excited about, weekly podcast entirely about movies. These two gentlemen discussing them.
Starting point is 00:06:07 Do you guys argue much? Not a lot. Not yet, but I want to get more into that. That's Baron Vaughn and Leonard Maltin, you guys. All right. And the show is called Maltin on Movies. With Baron Vaughn. With Baron Vaughn. With Baron Vaughn.
Starting point is 00:06:25 Hey, thanks, Leonard. Apologies. Full billing, that's all. Is that, I looked at the iTunes, is the graphic on iTunes, does it say with Baron Vaughn? Yes, in the smallest possible.
Starting point is 00:06:34 Right? It's illegible. You don't even notice it. But I have seen it in other places written out that way. So just get them to fix up the logo
Starting point is 00:06:43 and you'll be good to go. All right. And it's comedian Baron Vaughn and noted film critic in other places written out that way. So just get them to fix up the logo and you'll be good to go. And it's comedian Baron Vaughn and noted film critic Leonard Maltin just sitting down and discussing a different genre of film every time. Yeah, well, the first thing I said, Paul Scheer is the one who brought all this together. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:00 The guy who's late. The late Paul Scheer. Oh, no. What a terrible way to find out I didn't mean to be the bearer of bad tidings yeah it's weird that you would hold that out until now he brought this together for a new slate of podcasts he's been producing
Starting point is 00:07:20 for Earwolf that are now called Wolf Pop yeah he's a curator of 13 new shows about pop culture. I was excited to ask him all about it. And just hang on and maybe it'll come true. Maybe your wish will be granted. Your boss is late is what's happening right now. I understand that.
Starting point is 00:07:36 Anyway, he invited us to get to know each other and see if we would connect and we did. What did you guys do? You go on a couple of dates, couple of lunches. Yeah, I, I,
Starting point is 00:07:47 I did. I took him on the, I took him to the carnival. Yeah. Um, remember the dating game, you know, and they did,
Starting point is 00:07:52 there'd be a whole ritualistic thing. We did none of that. The water rifle, the water rifle at the horses and got the biggest teddy bear of all. That's right. And then he's like, I think we have a podcast here. That's right.
Starting point is 00:08:03 That should be, you really should. I know it's an audio podcast, but that'd be a fun opening for the show. It's the two of you doing fun romantic comedy things together. Like a typical romantic comedy montage. That would be lovely.
Starting point is 00:08:17 That'd be lovely. For the inevitable telecast. The inevitable TV version, right? Who wouldn't want to see you guys sitting there talking about film? Not me. Because I know what I look like. And I'm like, I'm bored with that guy already.
Starting point is 00:08:31 But anybody else? But what we decided to do... I'm new to what you look like and it's not bad. Hey! There you are. Okay. Just ruined it with that expression.
Starting point is 00:08:42 Dude, Sheikengay is such a great calling plan. They're having people wearing hats special right now. Hey, you into data?
Starting point is 00:08:55 Depends on how many gigs. Yeah. I'm not that into the next generation, to be honest. So... So what we're doing
Starting point is 00:09:08 is instead of reviewing new movies, we take a new movie in theaters like we did to The Theory of Everything as our trigger for the first
Starting point is 00:09:16 Broadway podcast. Oh, so then the rest of the conversation is the, oh, I was going to say wheelchairs. No, no. I thought you were
Starting point is 00:09:23 going to do a whole show about wheelchair movies. Excellent try. What else do we got? My Left Foot. No, no, no. We did three. Born on the Fourth of July.
Starting point is 00:09:31 One that we really like. The Diving Bell and the Butterfly. Oh, my God. Was he ever in a wheelchair? Yeah, he was rolled around. They pushed him around while he was locked in. That movie. Remember that movie, Leonard?
Starting point is 00:09:42 Which one? The Bell and the Butterfly. The Diving Bell and the Butterfly. The Diving Bell and the Butterfly? Yeah, yeah. Sorry. It's a fantastic movie. So good. It's a beautiful movie.
Starting point is 00:09:53 But also, it's like the number one thing I'm afraid of getting is locked-in disease, where you're just laying there and all you got is your eyes, because mine are already shot. So it would be terrible. But maybe they would make a movie about you. And that would sort of redeem the whole thing. That would make it all worthwhile. That's what Lou Gehrig sang in heaven. That's right.
Starting point is 00:10:13 They get some wonderful French actor to play you. I think Daniel Day. Daniel Day could do a good job. That's right. He could. So what was the... We're going to give an example. One really good biopic, which we chose as Capote. I'm sure. One really bad biopic, Jay Edgar.
Starting point is 00:10:29 Oh, yeah. With Leonardo DiCaprio. And one sleeper biopic, which was The Runaways, with Kirsten Dunst as Joan Jett. Super sleeper. I didn't even get around to it. No one did, but it's a really good movie. I saw it.
Starting point is 00:10:42 Okay. You like it? No. Well, Leonard and I did, but it's a really good movie. I saw it. You like it? No. Well, Leonard and I did, so we talked about it. We talked about it. Well, so it sounds like you really have quite a game plan. It's not just like just going off, talking about whatever. I mean, you can go on tangents, but you really...
Starting point is 00:10:57 Well, he has the structure, and I have all the tangents. There you go. Yeah. I go off on all the sorts of whatevers, whereas he stays on the structures. And it seems to work out. But you have to discuss ahead of time the movies you're going to talk about to make sure you've both seen them. That is correct. Because on my show, I love it when we all just talk about movies we haven't even seen.
Starting point is 00:11:16 Just because, you know. Perfect. I'm in the right place. We're going more for the comedy. Kind of like the Hollywood Film Awards where they give awards to films that haven't opened yet. Oh, my God, Leonard. When I saw that show, I was sitting in a hotel room. I changed my plans for the night.
Starting point is 00:11:28 I was like, what the hell is this Hollywood Film Awards thing that I'd never heard of? Apparently it's the 20th annual or something, but it used to just be an announcement. It wasn't ever a TV show. It's been happening as a real life event, which I had the misfortune of attending a couple of years ago. Almost like a private event. Yeah. Like all the big stars go though. Unbelievable.
Starting point is 00:11:52 Because it kickstarts your Oscar campaign. I walk, that's what they keep saying. Except that it's a fraud. The year of the social network. My daughter and I went. Mary Hart had been hosting it and I worked with her for many years on Entertainment Tonight. And my boss. Just sitting with her, you never got any seizures, did you?
Starting point is 00:12:13 No. Okay. No, it's an old joke. There was a woman who had some sort of dental disturbance because her teeth were picking up Mary Hart's voice and causing her to have spasms. This is an actual true story. But no one cares anymore. Anyway...
Starting point is 00:12:34 I really thought you'd gone back to what we were talking about. No, no, no. I was like, wow, we're still talking about Mary Hart. No, no, no. Anyway, so I got to attend this thing to present this award to her. And my daughter came along. We walked into the lobby of the Beverly Hilton Hotel. As. No, no, no, no. Anyway, so I got to attend this thing to present this award to her. And my daughter came along. We walked into the lobby of the Beverly Hilton Hotel. As I say, it was the Social Network and some other big films.
Starting point is 00:12:51 And they were all there. Everybody was there. It was a sea of A-listers. Unbelievable. They gave Jennifer Lawrence their newcomer award that year. Who gave it? Jodie Foster. They gave Stallone an award for doing The Expendables.
Starting point is 00:13:06 Who gave it to him? Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Very good guess. Excellent guess. Would have been a more interesting presentation, you have to admit. But then it finally got on TV, but Queen Latifah came out
Starting point is 00:13:20 and stumbled through some remarks, and then the show was off and running, just giving awards to movies that aren't even out yet. That's correct. And no one has seen. And each time they play a package that feels like a trailer
Starting point is 00:13:31 and then the person would come out and they've already won an award for something nobody's even heard of. It's really weird. What show was it on? You actually got it then. CBS was a big CBS deal. I want to guess CBS.
Starting point is 00:13:44 But in spite of all that, you understood exactly what it was. See, you got the whole point of it, which is that it's trailers promoting movies that aren't out yet, and they pretend they're awards. Yeah, yeah. Birdman, that's cool,
Starting point is 00:13:57 because that's out. But most of them were like, and also Michael Keaton's so great. He's so cool. He went on that fucking thing and is just chomping away on his gum during his entire acceptance speech. That guy's a cool dude.
Starting point is 00:14:12 I am so pro anyone who chews gum into a microphone. Have you been to the movies lately, Milana? Do you go to the movies? What'd you bring for the prize bag first of all? Oh, I brought this really cool calendar for 2015 Scientific American Space Views
Starting point is 00:14:28 from Hubble Telescope. That sounds really great. It's really cool. I don't know what's oohing or aahing. Just pass it over. I'll put it in the bag. Okay.
Starting point is 00:14:38 And have you been to the movies lately? Have you seen anything in theaters or otherwise? Yeah, I saw Birdman recently. Did you guys already talk about that last week? It's not interesting anymore. No, we don't go into too much detail on these things,
Starting point is 00:14:52 but I'm kind of weirdly, I don't know how to feel about Birdman. I kind of want to see it again. Did it make you sad? I don't know what it made me. I just sort of watched it. I'm not sure what just happened in that what it made me. I just sort of watched it. Not sure I know what just happened in that movie or to me.
Starting point is 00:15:08 When it was over, did you feel like it was long or it was short? It wasn't boring. It certainly wasn't boring. But I don't know. That's what we in the critic trade call a money quote.
Starting point is 00:15:20 It wasn't boring. Doug Benson. That's right. Birdman see it, kind of. Did you like it? Did you like it, Milana? Yeah, I really liked it. I thought it was awesome.
Starting point is 00:15:31 I thought the performances were stellar and the story was... I thought the moments were... It was hilarious. I just wouldn't be surprised if some people were taken aback by the fact that you see the trailer and you hear what it's about
Starting point is 00:15:44 and then you spend a lot of time just in the nuts and bolts of how a play on Broadway works. I don't think going into it, people expect to spend that much time in the St. James Theater. I didn't see the trailer before I watched it, so maybe that saved me. Yeah. But also, I didn't feel like it was about the play. I felt like it was about Mike Keaton's character and what it is to be an aging artist
Starting point is 00:16:09 I gotta see it again the seats were really comfortable when I saw it it's already very dreamlike so I think maybe I might have filled in some parts on my own that's exactly what ruined Judge Dredd for me like that last one which Judge Dredd?
Starting point is 00:16:24 the last one. The one with Olivia Thirlby. Oh, you like her? Yeah. Because that's weird to point her. Yeah, right? Because I was like, who's the other guy? The Australian guy.
Starting point is 00:16:35 The Australian McAmerica. But that's like 80 different actors right now. Carl Urban. Carl Urban, that's his name. Yeah, yeah. I liked him in that movie. I liked her in that movie. I liked that movie. Yeah. Yeah. But it name. I liked him in that movie. I liked her in that movie. I liked that movie.
Starting point is 00:16:45 Yeah. But it was just called Dread, though. Was it just called Dread? The Stallone one was Judge Dread. Yes, now that I did not see in the theater, and I'm lying. Totally saw it in the theater. Did I see Tank Girl in the theater? Not gonna answer.
Starting point is 00:17:03 You were suddenly being interrogated by no one. Doug, stop asking me not these questions. Is that what your show's like every week? He just denies everything? You'll just have to tune in and find out. They don't say tune in for a podcast, do they? I think they say download, listen to it, download it, check it out.
Starting point is 00:17:26 Here it is. There it goes. Another one's coming. Yeah, but it doesn't go anywhere. That's the great thing. I love the archived aspect of shows. Because people can just be like, I wonder what those guys think about
Starting point is 00:17:41 movies with wheelchairs, and then go back and find this week's show. Can you give us a tease of what next week's show is going to be? If I remember which one it is. What were we talking about? We were talking about holiday movies? No, not yet. No?
Starting point is 00:17:56 We're actually recording them a little bit ahead. Oh, okay. So we're mildly confused. We just did one about animation. Yeah. The next one that's going to drop, we're taping this. We just did one about animation. Yeah. No, the next one that's going to drop, we're taping this. Going to drop.
Starting point is 00:18:12 I was waiting for you to react. I'm like, does he normally speak like that? I like to say plop. Doug prefers plop. He almost said plop. Doug prefers plop, which is my way of saying it. The podcast drops.
Starting point is 00:18:23 It's about breakthrough performances. Discs drop. What? Breakthrough performances. Oh. And based on Jennifer Lawrence being in the hot new Hunger Games movie. And she's somebody who actually became a star
Starting point is 00:18:38 with a single performance, which was Winter's Bone. Oh, yeah. I mean, who didn't want to make love to that girl after she skinned that squirrel? But she was really good in that movie and really put her on the map. Best actress nomination
Starting point is 00:18:54 right out of the gate. That's right. Absolutely. Do you know where she came from, though? Like Detroit? No, I mean, like... Because I looked this up. I don't want to ruin it because you should totally, you know, listen to the podcast or whatever term we decided on. But she was on a sitcom. And a lot of people don't know this.
Starting point is 00:19:12 She was on the Bill Ingvall show. Does anybody know who Bill Ingvall is? Was she like his daughter? She was his daughter. Oh, wow. For, I think, three seasons. It lasted that long? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:24 Or was it on TBS? I don't remember exactly what channel it was on. It was on somewhere where that could last that long. Which I want to say is CMT, but I don't know. I like Bill Ingvall, but it was a very straightforward sitcom. It was. And if you go to the IMDb, they list her in the credits. But any picture, she's not tagged on any picture on IMDb. I wonder
Starting point is 00:19:46 why he said. Conspiracy. She's only had a classy career. You ask yourself questions you don't answer and then say he said after things you just said. You're very observant. It's called third
Starting point is 00:20:01 worst person. That's how I narrate my story. Have you been to the movies? Do you feel like you have to see more movies now that you're in cahoots with Leonard? Yes, yes. I'm telling you, every time you get cahooted with Leonard, you have to end up seeing many movies.
Starting point is 00:20:21 I've been watching a lot of things on television, like Netflix and Amazon Instant. What was the last thing you saw, if you can remember in that way? Oh, I'm going to proselytize. It's an animated film called A Town Called Panic that Leonard had recommended. I never saw it.
Starting point is 00:20:37 It's a Belgian film that's in French. All right, let's move on. But Doug, you will love it. I'm telling you. This is so your sense of humor. Five seconds you'd be like, this is the best thing I've ever seen. You'd start singing for no reason.
Starting point is 00:20:51 How did you see it? On Amazon. Amazon's got it. And what's it called again? A town called Panic. Who's behind it, Leonard? Are they known for other things? It won the audience award
Starting point is 00:21:01 at Fantastic Fest several years ago. Oh, a few years ago? Yeah. Well, of course, we both love Fantastic Fest. I was just telling somebody the other day that I had to chug a beer on behalf of Leonard Maltin because he didn't want to chug a beer. And I was terrible at it.
Starting point is 00:21:16 The year before, they let me smoke a bong on behalf of somebody and that was fine. Alright, so Town Called Panic. Check it out on Amazon. Yep, it's wild. It's about, it's stop motion animation, and the three leading characters are a plastic cowboy toy,
Starting point is 00:21:38 a plastic Indian, and a plastic horse. And their names are cowboy. No, no, sorry. Their names are, wait for it. Their names are cowboy their names are cowboy, Indian and horse it's very funny very very funny
Starting point is 00:21:52 you'll just have to take my word for it until you see it for yourself and when you see it for yourself you will thank me sir if you laugh at the words cowboy Indian or horse, this is the film for you. You're going to be grateful.
Starting point is 00:22:10 Hey, horse, what's up? Nothing, cowboy. That's basically, yeah. Just hanging out with the Indian. Yeah. All right. Leonard, we're going to play the Leonard Maltin game here in a second, but I just have to ask you briefly.
Starting point is 00:22:24 Are people at Leonard Maltin game here in a second, but I just have to ask you briefly. Are people at Leonard Maltin HQ, is the whole team working to try to get a new app going so that a couple years from now I'm not playing a game where all the movies are from four or five years or later? You know what I mean? Like, I'm still using your app that's dead. Yes, I know. But when's the new app going to rise from the ashes?
Starting point is 00:22:47 I wish I had a good answer for you. I don't have a good answer for you. This feels like a showdown right now. Unfortunately. I'm just hopeful. I know. People will have to, for the time being, go to the old-fashioned resource of a book,
Starting point is 00:22:59 a paperback book. And the 2015 edition of my movie guide is available. It's right here. We're giving one away tonight. We are. And this is how me and Brian Poussey and Leonard Maltin used to play the game. We'd go like that and someone would go, stop. And then go like that. Stop.
Starting point is 00:23:17 The year is 1998. Oh, shit. No, you gotta... He's gonna stop at Walgreens on the way home and get his reading glasses. This movie is based on... I've got it in my pocket, but I can do it.
Starting point is 00:23:31 But man, the print is small on this thing. But I was saying, oh shit, because I picked a movie I've heard of, but there's no way anybody's gonna get it. It's based on a vintage novel called Just Another Sucker by James Hadley Chase. That's a really spot on clue and you have no idea, do you, Lenny?
Starting point is 00:23:51 No. Yeah, yeah. Two and a half stars from you. And maybe this will help. It's German and it was directed by Volker Schlondorf. Oh, Schlondorf. Yeah,orf. Oh, Schlondorf. Yeah, Schlondorf. Who's got a great new movie out called Diplomacy.
Starting point is 00:24:08 Really? Yeah. But you don't remember a film he made called Palmetto? No, I don't. Yeah. Elizabeth Shue and Woody Harrelson. Mm-hmm. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:20 Anyway, that's how we used to play the game. Two. That's how we used to play the game. And people would, that's's the thing is we would do terribly at it because when you do that you know 1956 you know like and then the description you know it was just hard to play that way and when the app
Starting point is 00:24:34 came along and I could you know put it into categories and make it very very specific like that I really appreciate that and thank you for announcing that you are going to get a new one soon. Anything for you, Doug. You know that.
Starting point is 00:24:49 Yeah, and thank you for putting the last ever Leonard Maltin's Guide in the good old traditional gigantic paperback with tiny print form. This is the very last one ever, and it's in the prize bag. Did we sign the one that's in the bag? No, but I will.
Starting point is 00:25:07 Okay, let's do that. And what were you going to say? I was going to say, it does come in a larger format as well. Larger? Yes. What is it, a coffee table book? Like the size of a coffee table?
Starting point is 00:25:18 A somewhat larger paperback book for people who would like larger type. Yeah. It is true. And we are working on a new edition of my classic movie guide, which will come out next year. Right, you're going to keep doing those?
Starting point is 00:25:32 I hope so. Okay. We're doing one more for sure. All right, go ahead and sign this one. I like to write, you're a winner, but you can write whatever your thing is. Oh, he's got his own special pen.
Starting point is 00:25:44 Cool, and I'll sign the Hubble calendar. Oh, yeah. You are related to the Hubbles, right? I am one of the astronauts. There you go. Give that a sign-a-roo. And then as soon as Leonard's done with that... But I don't have anything to sign.
Starting point is 00:25:59 And that's your own fucking fault. Did you... Did you bring something for the prize bag? That was like one second therapy right there. Do you guys think Paul Scheer even knows that he's supposed to be here? I don't. Like he might not have remembered. I bet he does not
Starting point is 00:26:15 know. And I don't think I can't remember the last time I texted or tweeted him about it so maybe I didn't remind him and that's why he's not here. But if he was here he wouldn't shut up about his new network that he started and how great all this shit...
Starting point is 00:26:31 What? Okay. Do you want to sign this too? I capitulate to all audience demands. Take off your shirt! No. Because at this point I'm thinking that if he responds
Starting point is 00:26:47 you know like it's going to be he's not on his way and I don't want to drag him down here because the show's only got 17 minutes left anyway
Starting point is 00:26:55 and my three guests are delightful I just wanted him to come down and promote his new network I thought I was putting together a pretty tight
Starting point is 00:27:04 yeah I thought I put together a tight theme show. You want Paul Scheer to come down here and promote Wolf Pop? Wolf Pop, a new network? It's not the same coming from you. You've got to hear it from Paul Scheer. I was trying to do the Little Shop of Horrors guy who's like, hey, that's an interesting plant.
Starting point is 00:27:17 Except about Wolf Pop. Three people get me. Everybody else is my family. It's going to be a great Thanksgiving. I'm excited about Thanksgiving. I'm going to see the horrible penguins of Madagascar. Why? Is that the title?
Starting point is 00:27:36 No. I tried to mash up horrible bosses and penguins of Madagascar. It didn't come out very good. No, I mean, I think those Madagascar penguins, they look pretty cute. The trailer's funny, but I don't think I'm going to sit through the whole movie until it's on a plane when I can sleep.
Starting point is 00:27:55 Horrible Bosses 2. I enjoyed the Horrible Bosses 1, as it will be known from now on. I really did. I thought those guys had a good chemistry. Charlie Day just makes me laugh. I enjoy him very much. So I'll go see that.
Starting point is 00:28:07 I don't expect it's going to be great. I saw The Diving Bell and the Butterfly on a plane. Do you ever watch a sad movie on a plane? I think so. You cry so much more. What? That's probably where I saw The Notebook. I mean, I'm more likely to see a sad movie on a plane
Starting point is 00:28:23 because it's like, well, that's the movie they're showing, so I'm going to watch it because I don't really seek out sad movies that much. But what happens on a plane? Something about the pressure just makes you cry a lot more. Does anyone else experience that? Yeah, like it just like pushes the tears out of your eyes harder. Well, it is sensory deprivation.
Starting point is 00:28:39 I mean, you're sitting in a small seat in the dark, in silent, looking at a small screen, and then you just start shaking. All of the feelings. The audience is going to hear this. This physical gag I'm doing. You hear that audience?
Starting point is 00:28:56 It's gold. I was sitting next to two little girls. It's fine. They looked at me terrified. Their mom was sitting behind me passing me tissues. What time of the day was it? I don't know. We were on a plane. It'm going to be fine. And they looked at me terrified. Their mom was sitting behind me passing me tissues. What time of the day was it? I don't know. We were on a plane.
Starting point is 00:29:08 It could have been any time. You'd fly up out of time and hover around in a very vague... We were flying with the sun the whole time, the speed of the sun moving. Well, there you go.
Starting point is 00:29:24 No. I just accepted that, but I was like, oh. Trust me, I'm an astronaut. Do we have some awesome name tags in the house tonight? I think we do. I think we have some terrific options for you guys to choose from. Everybody select a name tag, who you'd like to play for tonight in an intense battle of the Leonard
Starting point is 00:29:46 Maltin game. And while you do that, we'll do this. We'll be right back. And we're back. Leonard, who are you playing for over here? I'm playing tonight for Iron Sam. Alright. That's cool. And Baron,
Starting point is 00:30:02 who are you playing for? Is it Demi or Demi? Demi. Unlike Moore. Demi the movie. Is that a play on anything? Or did you just make an original... Just an original...
Starting point is 00:30:18 Demi the movie. Starring Doug Benson as man number one. That ever was. And Doug Benson as man number one, it says on there. Don't read the shithead on the back, because that's a consolation prize if they lose. It's funny, I saw this and the reason I wanted it so bad is because I thought it said jaw-ish, like Jewish.
Starting point is 00:30:40 It's just Josh. Just Josh. Yeah. Just Josh. Yeah. All right. Those are all three name tags that are pretty much the same size. They're all faux posters. Well chosen. You're beautiful.
Starting point is 00:30:58 I'm just going to cross out Paul Scheer's name here on my sheet, because he will not be eligible for any points in this game. And we'll start with you, Leonard. You know how great you are at this game. Nowhere to go but up. Then we'll go to Baron and then to Milana. I haven't explained to Baron that I am the world's worst player
Starting point is 00:31:17 of this game. Oh, I've heard. I wouldn't say you're the worst. At least you've seen movies. And you are Leonard Maltin. I've got a couple of friends that just never go to movies. Now Milana's passing out treats to the crowd. Everybody gets a gummy.
Starting point is 00:31:35 A shark gummy. A shark gummy. Did you just say, we'll share this one? We just want a bite each. Go ahead and enjoy that one, Lady and the Tramp style. This is the night
Starting point is 00:31:52 where two dogs will kiss eating pasta. Those are the lyrics, right? See those dogs I just gave a plate of pasta? I don't know why I had to change the voice from... I had to hold the microphone up from the left. I got turned off by Baron doing the voice.
Starting point is 00:32:17 That's from Lady and the Tramp 2.0. That's the version that I have not seen. Oh, okay. Your voice, that is. You get to pick a category, Leonard, between Voight or Wilson, scene. Oh, okay. Your voice. You get to pick a category, Leonard, between Voight or Wilson, and that's movies with John Voight or
Starting point is 00:32:29 a volleyball. Or Ethan Hawk Down, and that's movies where Ethan Hawk dies. And it's kind of morbid that I've got all these death categories, but this one's pretty sweet. Paper.
Starting point is 00:32:52 Paper. And that's films where Dwayne Johnson dies. That's a great one. Yes, take a moment. Yeah, that's always the slow burn of the evening right there. That's a slow jam. I can't even laugh because I'm so seriously impressed. So clever it takes the fun out of it.
Starting point is 00:33:19 Which one of those would you like, Leonard? I'll do the first. I'll do Voight or Wilson. I think that's a great choice. Okay. Would you like a movie that has John Voight or a volleyball in it? Not both, though, I don't think. Okay.
Starting point is 00:33:35 From either 1997 or 2000? I'll say 1997. Okay. This movie from 1997 was given two stars by you. Mm-hmm. You says about this movie... that it was followed by a sequel with a really funny long name,
Starting point is 00:34:02 and then you also said that... It's a really funny, long name. And then you also said that... The climax... Oh, I see. This movie takes place in an exotic setting, but you said the climax of the film looks like the deepest, darkest Arcadia. Okay.
Starting point is 00:34:27 Pretty hilarious reference, because then you point out that in fact this movie was shot in the Arbor... Arboretum? In Los Angeles County, yes. Yeah, okay. I may have said too much.
Starting point is 00:34:42 I may have tipped it towards Leonard on this one. No, you've tipped it in no way, shape, or form. That's how bad he is at it. It's such a specific review. He's like, I don't know. Ask Sam Levine about it. That's right.
Starting point is 00:34:57 It's like when I was in high school, and I was so bad at math, and I placed into advanced math, and our teacher let us do an open book take-home exam, and I still failed. That's how I feel right now. You wrote this question, and you don't know the answer. Exactly so. But you listed, to help yourself out, eight names.
Starting point is 00:35:22 So how many of those names would you like to hear? I'd like to hear all eight, Doug. He's taking all eight. He's taking the full eight. Baron, do you think you can do it in less? I think I can name that movie in two names.
Starting point is 00:35:34 Oh, that's a really big jump there. Damn. You're off the hook there, Leonard. And we go to Milana and she can pound her head on the microphone like Charlie Brown If Charlie Brown were on a panel show
Starting point is 00:35:52 You could probably Show me the movie and I won't know It's like Tom Cruise said. Show me the movie. Well, there's a good chance Baron might be a little extra cocky for some strange reason. I think I know what movie it is, but then you're going to say those two names
Starting point is 00:36:22 and I'm going to realize that that's completely untrue. Yeah, so can you name the movie? Zoinks. That's a very polite way of saying it. Can you please, sir, gentlemen, name the movie? Oh, well, sir and gentlemen, continue. Your two names are Vincent Castellanos
Starting point is 00:36:42 and Owen Wilson. Can I hear the first name again, please? Vincent Castellanos. Country of origin on that name? And this takes place in an exotic place, but Leonard says it looks strangely like deepest, darkest Arcadia. But in fact, it's the Arboretum in L.A. County.
Starting point is 00:37:13 And it was followed by a sequel. Two stars. Night at the Museum? Is that your guess? Yeah. Incorrect Son of a motherless goat Kari Werer was in this movie
Starting point is 00:37:29 Jonathan Hyde Eric Stoltz John Voight in the third position Ice Cube and Jennifer Lopez And it was called My Anaconda Don't Want None Anaconda you guys Come on Anaconda Fil't Want None. Anaconda, you guys. Come on, Anaconda.
Starting point is 00:37:47 Anaconda. Filmed at the Arboretum. I'm handing you these answers. One of my favorite John Voight performances. Oh, he is amazingly hilariously over the top. I think maybe even Leonard might mention that Voight's, yeah, he's demonic snake poacher who speaks with a bad Brando-esque drawl and strangles human victims between his knees. Is he supposed to be Cuban in that movie or something?
Starting point is 00:38:16 I don't know why he's supposed to be, man, but this is how he talks. I will capture that. I keep changing it. I love that this guy is giving us a hint by going like this. And I'm like, rolling with the homies?
Starting point is 00:38:34 Someone is making snake arm in the audience? Oh, we got a snake arm. Don't cheat, you guys. Milano's on the board with one point, everybody. Oh, yes, she is. So now, next time,
Starting point is 00:38:48 this time around, we get to go with Leonard gets to pick again. Why's that? You'll see. Okay. Because you weren't involved in that final showdown, so you get to start off again. And I forgot John Voight in that movie, which is unforgivable.
Starting point is 00:39:04 Oh, right? Yeah, because he's so... He's hilarious in it. It's memorable. It's very funny. He gets... You know, even giving this away, it's still amazing to watch. He gets eaten by the anaconda, and then when he gets thrown up by the anaconda, because the anaconda doesn't... Doesn't want
Starting point is 00:39:20 none? Doesn't like Cuban food or whatever. When it spits him up, he turns and looks at the other characters in the movie and winks. It's amazing. All right, so Leonard gets to pick, and then we'll go to Milana this time, because we changed the order.
Starting point is 00:39:41 Miller Abe on Twitter suggested Hash Cab, and that's movies where a vehicle is hotboxed. Movies where a vehicle is hotboxed. You know what hotboxing is, Leonard? I do now. Just out of context, you figured it out? Consider the source. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:57 Okay. Oh! Zing! You just got malted. I like to call that a malteaser. On movies with Baron Vaughn. Or Hey Everybody. That's movies that have a talking horse in them.
Starting point is 00:40:16 And Spoiler Alert. And that's movies where someone gets hit by a car. Which one of those do you like, Leonard? You know which one I like. I don't think I know. The Talking Horse. Oh, okay. How many Talking Horse movies do you think there's been over the years? Both of them. Alright, well here we go. This one
Starting point is 00:40:39 is one of the two and it's from 1988. You called it a bomb. You said that, here's a fresh concept, a comedy about a talking horse. You pretty much say the only thing that's funny in this movie is one of the character's teeth. And then you list 11 names.
Starting point is 00:41:12 There are 10 names? Yeah, 10 names. How many can you get it in? Apologies to put your hands together. 11 names you said? 10, I think. 10, 10. Yeah, 10. I think 10 10, 10. Yeah, 10.
Starting point is 00:41:25 I think 10 would be good. Okay. Start off with 10. You're strategic, if not knowledgeable. 1988, a long time ago. Right? Milana? It's before my time, Doug.
Starting point is 00:41:42 Sure. So... Sorry, does that make you upset? Are you saying that you weren't alive yet? I was barely alive. That made me sadder than a girl watching the diving bell and the butterfly on an airplane. Yeah, sometimes trivia is old. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:03 Trivia never sleeps, I think, is what... Yeah, that old expression. Yeah. Trivia never sleeps, I think, is what... Yeah, that old expression. Yeah. I'll go for ten, too. You have to say nine or name it. Or even less than nine, but you gotta knock one off if you want to... Oh. If you don't want to challenge Leonard yet.
Starting point is 00:42:22 But if you challenge Leonard and he gets it, then you... I'll challenge Leonard. For reals? I'm going to give him all ten names? Yeah. Okay. Because I don't care. Not completely invested in the game.
Starting point is 00:42:39 I think you finally made it to your time. This is actually going to be quite exciting because I think Leonard's going to know exactly what this movie is, but he might not be able to come up with the exact words that it is called. And then I win! You will win, yes. And you'll bring us in on time, so
Starting point is 00:42:55 I'm really excited about this. But maybe I'll pull it out and then I do hope, even the people sitting on the floor, that everybody gets on their feet if Leonard remembers the name of this movie. Burgess Meredith. John Candy. Jack Whitaker, the great Jack Whitaker.
Starting point is 00:43:14 Gilbert Gottfried. Tim Kazerinsky. Jim Metzler. Oh no, the shake went into a nod. He's now nodding. Cindy Pickett. Dabney Coleman. Virginia Madsen. And's now nodding. Cindy Pickett, Dabney Coleman, Virginia Madsen,
Starting point is 00:43:27 and Bob Goldthwait, also known as Bobcat. Is it called Hot to Trot? It is! Yay! Whoa! Standing ovation. The Upright Citizen Brigade Theater. Ha ha ha.
Starting point is 00:43:47 Leonard is on the board in one point. You know what? In a very real way, it's depressing that I know the answer to that. But I'm glad you're taking the game. What made you remember? Like, Dabney Coleman has crazy teeth and that's the thing you said was funny about the movie.
Starting point is 00:44:08 I just remembered the name. Yeah, there you go. Alright, so now we're going to start with Baron and then we're going to go to Milana and Baron gets to pick between Dean underscore Goff on Twitter suggested
Starting point is 00:44:22 a reptile dysfunction. And that's movies where an alligator or a crocodile attacks someone. Werner Herzog recently named on some site his top five movies of all time. Top five favorite movies of Werner Herzog. So that's
Starting point is 00:44:40 in here. Werner, I should say. And then Music Shitty. I was just in Nashville recently, the Music City, and somebody came up with Music Shitty, and that's musicals that Leonard gave two stars or less. I'm going to go with that. You like that category? Have you guys done musicals on the show yet?
Starting point is 00:44:57 Probably not, because there hasn't been a big musical out. But Annie, Black Annie's coming out. That's right. Also known as Blanny. Yeah. That's right. I'm excited about Blanny. I can't believe I started that.
Starting point is 00:45:11 I started it. Only one person said it. 1982 is the year for this musical that Leonard calls a bomb. He says it's mindless. Opens with a great number, then goes downhill. Yeah. Pedestrian music, clumsy comedy, uncharismatic leads. Ooh.
Starting point is 00:45:42 Yeah. That's about half the review right there. And he lists 11 names. How many names can you get in Baron Vaughn, co-host of Maltin on Movies with Baron Vaughn? Five names.
Starting point is 00:45:56 What a bid. Milana, do you want to... Name that movie! Alright. Alright, here's your five names, dude. Okay. Good luck. Alright.
Starting point is 00:46:10 Connie Stevens. Okay. Tab Hunter. My favorite. Good old Tab. Dodie Goodman. Sweetheart. I think Leonard's gonna know this one.
Starting point is 00:46:22 Sid Caesar. And Eve Arden are all in this movie from 1982 what do you got yeah I have a definite guess okay I have no idea
Starting point is 00:46:42 really no guess at all um no wow no no I got nothing Definite guess. Okay. I have no idea. Really? No guess at all? No. Wow. No. No. I got nothing.
Starting point is 00:46:52 Did you recognize the fact that all of those people seemed like they might have been a little bit long in the tooth even in 1982? Yeah. That's because they were all in another movie previous to this one. What is it, Leonard? Well, this is Grease 2. It's Grease 2. Grease 2? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:05 So Leonard with the right answer, and Milana with the win. You win with two points. Yeah, Dee Dee Cohn, Lona Luft, Adrian Zmed, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Maxwell Caulfield. Grease 2. If I would have heard Michelle Pfeiffer, but... Yeah, that would have helped, but that's 10 names in or whatever. Yeah, so that's the trick of this game right here. But let me just...
Starting point is 00:47:32 I got to erase this right now because I don't want that ever to come up again. Thank you guys so much for playing the game and for bringing all the prizes and stuff. Who is... Let's get Josh up here to get his prizes. I've seen that poster before. This is another attempt.
Starting point is 00:47:53 Oh, really? Somebody else did that in another city. The same JAWSH. So you're just knocking all this dude's dreams. No, no. He won the prize. But you can have your poster back, too, if you want. Do you want it?
Starting point is 00:48:03 There you go. I mean, you're ineligible from now on. Are you sure. Do you want it? There you go. I mean, you're ineligible from now on. Are you sure? Do you want it? Do you want it? You can have it. No, it's okay. It's okay.
Starting point is 00:48:20 More visual humor in this episode than I expected. Usually you know when it's coming I know Marcel Marceau hasn't said a thing TJ Miller what
Starting point is 00:48:28 I said Marcel Marceau hasn't said a thing this entire time you know rest in peace Paul Scheer this episode this episode
