Doug hates candy wrappers, screaming babies, sticky seats with 50 ads and popcorn kernels in his teeth. There's still not one that he won't see, cause Doug loves movies. Hey everybody, my name is Doug and I love movies. This is Doug Loves Movies coming to you from Earwolf Studios in Hollywood. So you might hear some sirens in the background because there's a lot of siren activity in the Hollywood area. Before I introduce my guests, my in-studio guests, a few things. First of all, the Comedy Death Ray auctions have closed. And the winners of my auction, my two auctions, are Sean sean sacame i hope i'm pronouncing that right he won the opportunity to be a guest on this very podcast in the future and and help me select who

the other guests will be on that episode and the guy who won the other one, Eric Cupo, I think is how you pronounce it, C-U-P-O, he and I will see a movie together. And he lives in Wayne, New Jersey. He's going to come into Manhattan, though, and see a movie with me. So that worked out pretty good. And those guys bid $1,680 and $2,275 for those opportunities. And I agreed to match up to $1,000 on one and up to $2,000 on the other. So that means I owe $2,680, and it's all going to L.A. Food Bank, which is a great cause that Comedy Death Ray supports.

I had a great time in Tampa last weekend. We played the Leonard Maltin game Sunday night. It took three challengers to beat Graham Elwood, and then they beat him to death. So rest in peace, Graham Elwood. Now, New York this weekend, I'm going to be at the Gramercy Theater at 420 doing the Marijuana Logs, which one of my guests at one time was a fill-in performer in that. And then at 8 o'clock, I am taping a very special podcast with very special guests. Taping a podcast in New York. Everyone's always begging me to do it.

Now I am, so come and see it. LiveNation.com or Ticketmaster.com for tickets. I'm going to be at the Irvine Improv December 26th. The San Francisco Punchline December 28th and 29th. West Palm Beach Improv New Year's Eve. Tickets as low as $25 to get into that. And January 1st we're going to do a show, which is weird.

And that's only going to be $20 to get into. And Friday night on Comedy Central, that's tonight probably, listen to it, but also watch it. The Benson Interruption with TJ Miller, Adam Carolla, and Graham Elwood. Holy shit, that was a lot of business. It sounds like a lot of things for Doug Benson fans to be doing in the next couple of weeks.

They're going to be so busy that Christmas is going to come and go. They're not going to know what even happened. All right, so now you heard the voices of a couple of my guests and the laughter of the third. So now you heard the voices of a couple of my guests and the laughter of the third. These guys are all basically have new podcasts on Earwolf.com. If you go to Earwolf.com, you can check out. They have a whole slate of podcasts, and you guys are three new ones.

Yeah. Why don't we go around and introduce ourselves? And since I don't know the names of your podcast so say who you are what the name of your new podcast is uh hi i'm drew drogey and i have i think i'm talking too closely in the mic and i have a podcast called glitter in the garbage on thursdays on earwolf and people are already calling it gitg i see they are on the internet so that's why i don't know what it's called because i see that more than i see what it's really called it's already it's the new lol of 2011 i'm gonna call it so instead of laughing out they're just gonna go gitg that's like what would you say gitg to like after you see like uh something like christina aguilera's vagina getting out of the limousine you got it gitg

glitter in that garbage gitg all right G-I-T-G. All right, Paul Scheer, what do you got going on? I have a show. It's a special show. We'll come on every now and then called How Did This Get Made. Like maybe monthly? Yeah, maybe monthly. Maybe twice a month where we see a movie.

We tell the audience to go see a movie, and then we just talk about that one movie. A whole episode dedicated to one specific movie. Yes, our first episode will be Burlesque. So people have to see Burlesque. And then you listen to us. And then listen to it. I bet you it would be fun to listen to even if you haven't seen Burlesque. I think you're right. If you think you're going to hate Burlesque so much that you'd rather just hear people

rip on it than have to actually see it, then go ahead and just listen. I feel like, yeah, you're not going to be lost. You're going to almost be intrigued to go see it. And believe me, that movie is a shitstorm. Oh, it's unbelievable. Oh, it's amazing. I saw it months ago at a test screening, and so people said that to me.

They were like, I'd rather just hear your description of how bad the movie is than actually watch the movie. It's like if Showgirls sharted, that would be burlesque. Yeah. Yeah, because Showgirlss in its own weird way is good yeah oh it's so but it's so like burlesque isn't to me burlesque wasn't fun bad it was just like jesus it was like pg-13 exactly it was like sarah palin made it because it was so lame there's no there's not enough titillation to keep you going right and then the director

was so terrible at directing the musical numbers. You couldn't tell where anybody was. You couldn't tell who was who or what was what. You couldn't just see an ass for a little bit or a tit or something. And time didn't exist in that movie either. No, because Cher and Kristen Bell are supposed to be the same age. Oh, really? Well, Cher's always like, we built this club together.

And it's like, Kristen Bell. No, I didn't know that. I love your impression of Cher. It sounds like the guy from Silence of the Lambs. We built this club together. Now help me put this chair in the bathroom. She's a real big girl, isn't she? Cher also is a burlesque star who, when you see her perform,

does no burlesque. No burlesque. She just stands on stage. But she does sing a song called Burlesque. Yes, that is true. Which is what happens when you walk into her. One of three songs called Burlesque. No burlesque. She just stands on stage. But she does sing a song called Burlesque. Yes, that is true. Which is what happens when you walk into a... One of three songs called Burlesque in the movie. So that's a little taste for a go-getter.

That's awesome. Our engineer today is also named Doug. He just does that to keep it simple for me to help remember. What time do you think we started today on this Tuesday afternoon, December 23? 3 o'clock straight up? Wow. Does that include the other stuff I recorded? Okay.

See, now we're talking. Yeah. I think we started about 3.03. I like to keep track of where we're at time-wise. Yeah, so we don't get off. So I get everything in that I need to accomplish. How does this feel to you? It feels a little naked to me to do this show without the audience around.

Well, you've had that experience, but the other two guests have never done it in front of an audience. It's very comfortable, Paul. They may think it's just fine. But it is different. I didn't know anything until you said anything. It is different. And most people that listen seem to appreciate it.

I think they don't like sometimes the seem to like, they appreciate it for some, I think they don't like, uh, sometimes the audience is like, I don't, I, I, I don't want to bring it up because then people will listen for it. Right. But I've heard a lot of complaints about like, there's a supposedly this one specific laugh that I never noticed when we're on stage doing it. But I guess when people listen to it, they, there's this one guy that they can't stand. Oh, really? They can't stand the sound of his laugh because he laughs too much and everything

and seems to just be trying to get the sound of his laugh. I have to tell you, I have an embarrassing admission to make. When I went to go see David Letterman, I tried to be that guy. I tried to laugh inappropriately to get on camera. Oh, my God. And it worked. I have such a crazy laugh that one time I went to a taping of Saturday Night Live, and people told me they heard me in the audience watching it on TV.

Oh, wow. Who was the host? That's crazy. Who was the host? Oh, Jamie Presley. I remember your laugh. Yeah. Remember that fateful Jamie Presley episode?

Was she on the Meet Joe Dirt publicity train at that point? I was trying to think what she was in at the time. I remember your laugh. Remember that fateful Jamie Prisley episode? Was she on the Meet Joe Dirt publicity train at that point? I was trying to think what she was at at the time. Maybe it was just for Earl. Oh, okay. My name is Earl, maybe. Yeah, yeah. People were very shocked that she was such an amusing actress.

She was awesome. She was great. She was really great. They had not seen Tork, apparently. Yeah. Tork was amazing. And Howard Kramer is here. Yes, hello.

Now I can talk. Yeah, you've been waiting this whole time to speak. And Howard Kramer is here. Yes, hello. Now I can talk. Yeah, you've been waiting this whole time to speak. It's very polite of you. I didn't want to confuse the audience. I know they're already resetting their clocks to three to be in sync with the show. Three or three. Hopefully they're not as anal as I am. Yeah.

Well, yeah, my name is Howard K kramer and i have a new podcast called who charted i love the premise of this this uh yeah this is so it's fun we uh we take aim basically at the top five of the charts the music charts movie charts video game charts and then we do a wild card chart of the week which the guest brings in and it's a weekly we have weekly thing uh it's really funny. I love it. It's really good. You heard it?

Cool. Thanks. Both of you guys' shows. Oh, thank you. I haven't. I've been a complete asshole. That's right. I'm not going to listen to you.

Paul listens to podcasts. I listen to podcasts. Paul likes them. I like them. Thank you. I appreciate it. I don't listen to them either, but, you know. A lot of driving in LA.

I'm sure these all sound great to me. Yeah. You may have converted me to more of a listener. Well, there's one every day now on Earwolf, Monday through Friday. Yeah, they got Sklarbro Country on there. They got Glenn Beck is doing a podcast. The flagship show, Comedy Death Ray Radio. Yeah, so there's a lot of stuff to check out at Earwolf.

And then I'm just still, I'm Lone Wolf. Doug Loves Movies is just out there on its own. But doing very well. Doing really well. People seem to enjoy it. America's favorite podcast. And what's an example of a list that someone will bring in? Oh, okay.

Like, for instance, the last guest, or this one's coming out tomorrow. Kumail Nanjiani was on. And he's a big horror fan, so his list was top horror memorabilia. So we get to count down like the little, there's like a jaw. Like what would you like? Freddy's Glove or what is it? The top five. It's just the top five sellers.

The ones that are selling the top five in America. Yeah, so it'd be like Freddy's glove. It was like a Rocky Horror Picture Show refrigerator magnet. What? That was like number three. Wow. That's what America's buying, so that's what we talked about. And these are real lists.

These are not just favorites. They're literally by numbers. Yeah, these are sales charts. Cool. So music sales, movie sales, DVD sales, foreign DVD sales, whatever's selling. We'll talk about it. My favorite memorabilia item that I've seen and purchased, and now a friend of mine is holding it for me in case I die or something. A little container of candy with Freddy Krueger's face on it.

And he's got a, you know finger a shush a shush going yeah and it's and then it says right on there be quiet i'm killing people on children's candy that's amazing amazing yeah it's so good oh my god witnesses obey that quiet i'm killing my friend got the coolest thing of memorabilia. Apparently, the girl that he used to date was an art director on Big Lebowski and found out that he liked the Big Lebowski. And he's like, yeah, come into my garage. What do you want? And they had all the stuff from the Big Lebowski.

And he has the, whatever that award was. It was like the fellowship award awarded to the main Lebowski character. And he had to sign a document saying that he would never sell it, but it's in his house. Wow. And it's right from one of the walls in the Lebowski movie. That's really cool.

Wow. I wish I had something cool. Do you have anything like that? Like a real piece of memorabilia? No, I'm trying to think. I don't think anything. I have the hat that Marlon Wayans wore in Don't Be a Menace to South Central.

Is it in like a Lucite case? Oh my God. No, I actually wear it all the time. Which one is it? Is it when he had, I remember his guns. It's like a black long kind of stocking hat that has a baby passing by. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, of course. Oh yeah, yeah, sure, sure, sure.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I love that movie. I saw that movie before most of the real movies that it was parodying. And I remember in film class in college we had to watch Menace to Society and it just meant something totally different to me because I only remembered Don't Be a Menace. The South Central while you're drinking the juice in the hood. That's horrifying.

Isn't that sad? There's somebody watching a superhero movie and going, oh, I'm intrigued by these things now. I'm going to go check them out. I saw Airplane before I saw Airport and I have to say Airplane is better than Airport. Oh, it is. That's a rare exception.

Airport's so dry. It's so bad. Poor Leslie Nielsen. Do you think they buried him with that? You know how he's always going on talk shows with a fart thing? I love that fart machine. He got it buried with him, probably. I think if it was a true funeral, while they were giving a eulogy,

someone would have played that fart machine. And I think Leslie Nielsen would have been like, yes. He would have gotten it. The last fart. He would have loved it. He would have liked it. There must have been some jokes at his funeral. I hope so.

Yeah. As we leave this long, creepy pause. Yeah. Well, I'm just pausing because I'm busy with my mobile device because I'm trying to look up today's Golden Globe nominations. Oh, yeah. There are so many bad nominations. They are insane. Are they really?

I haven't seen them yet. The Tourist for Best Comedy. The Tourist? It's not even trying to be a comedy. That's how dumb the Foreign Press Association is. They're just foreign dummies. They're just like, oh, Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie, and it doesn't look too serious. It must be a comedy or musical.

Oh, my God. Also, True Grit got nothing. Really? Breaking Bad got nothing. Oh, that sucks. Well, True Grit got screwed by the fact that the Foreign Press Association always comes out in mid-December with their announcement, and True Grit hasn't even come out yet. But have another thing?

A lot of them have seen it, but they still it's a weird curse against it. No, they could nominate it, but it's this weird thing that a big movie that comes out, unless it's like Sherlock Holmes, unless it's a great movie like that, then you have to nominate. No, because they

have to fill those comedy categories that's why the weirdest stuff slips in but why not Jim Carrey and I Love You Philip Morris Jim Carrey was incredible in that movie

the comedy nominees I gotta look this shit up it's unsane it's like burlesque Jim Carrey I would give him an Oscar nominee I literally made my list

of top five male and Jim Carrey he was great I didn't like Philip Morris I liked it more after I realized it was based on

a true story they saved that till the end no they saved that in the opening credits oh you see when I saw it on an airplane

it was based on a guy with a rubbery face no no no in the opening credits it says this really happened and it said no really it did

oh you see I think what maybe in the oh yeah if I didn't if I didn't think it was real you see i think what maybe in the farm oh yeah if i didn't if i didn't think it was real i would be like this is the wackiest dumbest movie no it really it was it was real i mean that guy was really a crazy crazy guy but yeah i thought uh i thought you know i thought jim carrey was great who what got nominated he didn't even get nominated johnny depp got nominated for best actor in a comedy angelina jolie got nominated for best actress in a comedy she's never tried to be in a comedy

girl interrupted but it's just crazy tomb raider 2 and then trying to find this shit on the internet is so irritating because you you know everything you click on has some other stuff well people are really talking about scar joe and ryan reynolds breakup today that's what that happened today irritating because you know everything you click on has some other stuff well people are really talking about scar joe and ryan reynolds breakup today that's what that happened today yeah is it because she saw his green lantern suit she saw the trailer cgi suit is ridiculous that movie i remember i was at comic-con and they played like we hear some footage that we're going to play for you and like it was so lackluster and the audience is like what what what is this it looks so bad it looks awful and you know you have was it Blake Lively Blake

Lively good actors to town she's great in that but then she's like some NASA fighter pilot it's like Christmas Jones all over again oh yeah no no Christmas only comes that wasn't that Denise Richards' name in that one James Bond movie? Her name was Christmas, and they had the best closing line of a movie. It goes, I thought Christmas only came once a year. Ew! I was like, ugh, just great. Creepy.

Once a night. I don't want to hear about Pierce Brosnan making Christmas gone. All right, I found it, you guys. Thanks for stalling. You know, best picture drama I can't complain about any of it Black Swan, The Fighter, Inception I thought Black Swan was ridiculous It's not really a drama

It's a melodrama It's crazy I didn't think it was bad It was an art house showgirls I enjoyed it But people are touting it as this life changing movie And at the end of the day But it was an art house showgirls. It was showgirls for art house. I enjoyed it, every bit of it. But people are touting it as this life-changing movie. And at the end of the day, it's kind of stupid.

It's kind of ridiculous, I thought. I found it. And I love The Wrestler, and I love Wrecking For A Dream. This movie did none of that for me. It alternates between creepy and boring. Because there's a lot of ballet in it. Oh, really? Do you like ballet?

No. And then there's just a lot of creepy things that happen in it. There's a lot of weird... I just couldn't... And that's sort of the point of it is what's real and what isn't. Right, right. But, you know... But it didn't do it for you two.

No, it really didn't. I was like, I'm going to go to sleep and dream about Inception instead. I was so excited to see it, and I've got to say, it was just like, I mean, yeah, this year I've been so surprised by what I liked and what I didn't like. I might have been too pumped for it. I might have been like, finally, a badass Hollywood. Everybody in it is great, but I mean, I just, I feel like as a, it just, it doesn't, there's this, you know, you have to go in this crazy world.

I was screaming laughing the whole movie. Oh, wow. I was thoroughly, I was entertained. That's good. I can lower my expectations I would say it was like you know the hand that rocks the cradle or

what was that uh what was that Judi Dench and Cate Blanchett movie that oh yeah yeah that I thought was also great but it's kind of trashy like oh I don't

remember that it's that sort of pulpy uh notes on a oh notes on a scandal scandal yeah yeah it has that feeling to me of just like this is just

fun it was uh whatever happened to baby Jane it's camp it's which a scandal. Scandal, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It has that feeling to me of just like, this is just fun. It was Whatever Happened to Baby Jane. It's camp, which I love, but I wouldn't say the Oscar goes to. The best, yeah. Black Swan. You know. Requiem for a Dream is kind of like that, too, where it's just like so over the top. It's so overwrought. That's his style.

It was the wrestler's, too, but I so bought it. Ellen Burstyn is nuts. God, Ellen Burstyn's so good. I saw Requiem for a Dream. I'll never see it again only because when I saw it they replayed the second reel

of the movie twice and so like you're watching it and they're like I just saw this right and you're like

oh this has to be artistic in some way so for like 45 minutes or half an hour you're like wait wait what is going on

like cause they didn't acknowledge it and no one and then all of a sudden it just went forward and then afterwards they made an apology and they're like, oh sorry we accidentally played the second reel of the movie twice. So it's that scene when

Damon Wayans has his Marlon Wayans has his arm cut off or whatever that was. Like a really brutal section in the movie. I was like I was so messed up by that movie. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I wouldn't see it again just because of the movie. Yeah.

I loved it. It maybe was my favorite movie that year, but I remember I sat through all the credits and just was like, I couldn't move. It was just like, oh, my God, never again. I had a similar experience with The Tourist, the trailer. You just sat there through the whole thing? No, I was watching the trailer on my computer,

and I had one headphone on my ear and the other one off. And they put all the dialogue in the right side of the headphone that I didn't have. So Johnny Depp gets on the train, and Angelina Jolie sits down, and they start talking. And it looks to me like they're just whispering stuff, like they're not actually reading each other's lips. It's like, this is actually kind of cool. They're just reading each other's lips so no one else on the train will know what they're not actually, they're reading each other's lips. It's like, this is actually kind of cool. Like, they're just reading each other's lips so no one else on the train will know what they're talking about.

And then I put the other headphones on. The sound design, it's so quiet. You're like, oh, wait a minute, this is actually terrible. By the way, there's nothing cool going on. I feel like, Doug, your fans would like this. This is something I got obsessed with yesterday. Had you guys seen the Yogi Bear,

the alternate ending of the Yogi Bear movie that some animator did? Well, that's the thing. You know from listening to the podcast that TJ Miller and I have talked about the movie quite a bit.

And so now, everyone tweeted the link to me like I'm the guy to go to. And I'm sure TJ got it a lot, too. I got in trouble. Apparently, Warner Brothers called up my agent because i tweeted that out and it went crazy viral everybody was sending it to everybody yeah and tell us what happened

basically this animator who just saw the trailer of yogi bear decided he was going to animate a two-minute sequence that parodied the end of the assassination of Jesse James by the coward Robert Ford. Okay, okay. And so it's basically Boo Boo with a shotgun blowing Yogi Bear's brains out. And it's done with amazing music, and it looks as if it is from the movie. Nothing, and it ends with this amazing

shot of Yogi Bear as a rug, with like a, you know, like a, hey now, you're an all-star, and the credits are running. And it's amazing. Spoiler alert. Yeah, spoiler alert. Wow. But the whole thing's pretty short.

And that's the only reason to watch it. If you want to see Yogi Bear getting killed by Boo Boo with a shotgun. Yeah, it's amazing. It's the best thing ever. But yeah, I got in trouble. The guy did a good job animating it. But I don't know how he's going to not be in trouble for it. Well, they can't take it down.

How would you be in trouble for it? I'm in trouble. Paul's going to be fine in trouble for it. Well, they can't take it down. How would you be in trouble for it? Paul is going to be fine. I'm fine. I just got yelled at. I was like, why would you put that out? Why would you support this movie? It was like, oh, I'm not not supporting the movie. It could hurt the movie.

Anyone would not go. People who are going to go are still going to go. That's my point. And most of them don't even know about this thing. This is for all the haters. This is for people that don't want to see it anyway. People that are going to go see Yogi Bear are not going to go. Yeah, that's my point. And most of them don't even know about this thing. This is for all the haters. This is for people that don't want to see it anyway. People that are going to go see Yogi Bear are not going to listen to any of us. I was going to go see it.

No, I'm not going to go see it. Oh, Howard. I just, I can't get over. I was reading an article today where someone was asking the same question. Like, what is this fascination with why do animals and humans need to interact for family fun? Why can't it just be about the fucking animals or about people or people with animals that don't speak to them? Over the hedge. Over the hedge.

They keep to themselves, you know? They're playing with eyes. Toy story. They keep to themselves. We don't need to interact. Exactly. Separate but equal. Muppet babies.

You never see that woman's face. Just the leg. Just the Muppet babies. Even a little bit too much for my liking. Oh, I know. I know. We've talked about this before. Okay.

So this is a Golden Globe nomination category. It's an insane category every year when they do comedy or musical because essentially it narrows it down to the musical that was made that year. Exactly. Maybe one or two. And then the comedies are the more serious comedies. Yes. You know, like American Beauty or something.

And that's a comedy. Something that's got some laughs in it, but it's not really a fucking comedy. Yeah, it's not a comedy. So this is the nominees, the five nominees for comedy or musical. It's like insane. If aliens landed right now and this is all they knew about our culture, that we think these are comedies and musicals, it would be nuts alice in wonderland okay burlesque what the kids are all right yeah that's hilarious great but it's not not a comedy it's funny kind of a comedy

but it's not a comedy red what yes red is nominated for best picture by an outlet of people that are supposedly know something about film. That should be then. If Red is nominated, Expendables should be in there. Expendables is more fun than Red. And then the fifth one is The Tourist. Wait a minute. What about the other guys? What about the comedies that were made this last year?

Real comedies. The other guys was a great movie. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. It's actually a comedy. Right. That's a sort of comedy like it's actually a comedy right like none of these are comedy it's it's just it's a wasteland for the the movies that like the musicals and the sort of comedic movies that we couldn't fit into best picture you put them over there it's kind of fun and funny and not even like like you know because normally they do something like date night or due date or one of those there have been so many big ones yeah date night got nominated in

the comedy category by the National Broadcasters Association or whatever they're called. You know, the ones, the TV critics. Okay. The critics on TV, I should say. They have an interesting, they have a million categories.

Yeah, I mean, I feel like all these awards are kind of like meaningless. I mean, the Golden Globes get a lot of attention, but when you're nominating Red, Red should not, I mean, Red should not be nominated for best anything. Right? I mean. Yeah.

And I haven't even seen it. It looks like, oh, that looks entertaining. It looks fine. Do you guys laugh at Kanye West when he comes to like get crazy about who's winning awards? Because y'all sound a little Kanye. A little, two little Kanye. But we're not stopping someone from winning a separate speech. I plan on.

What are we going to do if Tourist wins Best Comedy or Musical? I'm camping out in the Beverly Hilton so that I can rush the stage when Red takes it for Best Comedy and not let them take it. I would love it. Let's see if there's going to be a black nominee in the audience that we could nominate to run up on stage. It's not going to win. It's not going to win. Kids are all right. Kids are all right.

Or maybe Alice in Wonderland because Alice in Wonderland has its fans. I didn't get it at all. It wasn't just so good. I feel like it's really, I mean, that really is like foreign press. It's like, oh, Alice in Wonderland. You know, it's like, and it's like, Red, these are all big foreign movies. They's like, oh, Alice in Wonderland. You know, it's like, Red, these are all big foreign movies. They feel like

big overseas movies. They don't feel like American films. The Kids Are Alright is a crazy American, a very American movie. I think that may be my favorite movie of the year.

Really? I loved that movie. I thought it was really perfect. I thought it was just, those, all five of them in that movie

were just incredible. Yeah, I just can't, and they spoil it in the trailer so i'm not giving away much but i just don't i don't completely understand the attraction between why mark ruffalo and julianne moore would would fool would it was so i guess i totally got i don't know i don. It didn't seem right. But other than that, I do agree. It's really good. I also had an issue with Annette Bening.

I thought she was so incredibly harsh. Oh, really? Oh, man. I thought she... She was a ball breaker. I was like, I know her.

I couldn't believe that. I mean, oh, there's that... Her singing the Joni Mitchell at the table. That was amazing. Unbearable. I know. Unbearable. Someone who behaves that way that was amazing unbearable I know unbearable

someone who behaves that way makes me insane oh I know but it was fascinating to watch in a movie knowing what you know what she doesn't know and the whole reveal

it's just I thought that was I mean that whole section is amazing I thought Mark Ruffalo was insane he's great he's very good

how easy would it be to hate that guy in the movie and I loved him but he's also like the first time why he's a charming asshole he's very good how easy would it be to hate that guy and I loved him but he's also like the first time why he's a charming asshole

he's able to even when he's being super friendly you understand why sometimes the character will be like he's kind of douchey and full of himself

because he's got like a cockiness in the friendliness that is kind of it's interesting and you totally believe this big kid who can never

he did not mean to be a dad his scene with the hostess is so kind of brutal and great. When he's telling her he can't be with her, it's like, oh, so awful. Okay, so I'll just give you one more. Those were pretty much the craziest ones, although this one's pretty crazy, too. They also have television nominees on the Golden Globes, and this one just cracks me up. Best performance by an actress in a drama series. You got like Julianna Margulies from her show.

Elizabeth Moss from Mad Men. Katie Segal from the gang show Sons of Anarchy. I love her. Kira Sedgwick, who always gets nominated because she does a crazy accent or whatever. But those five, those are, you know, great actresses, good work, nice for them. I'm glad Katie Segal got nominated. She never gets credit for that show. She's so good on it, too.

But the fifth nominee, Piper Perabo. What? What? This is insane. What? For Covert Affairs. For Covert Affairs. For Covert Affairs.

I can't sit through the commercial without going, that's a ridiculous, lame show. Covert Affairs is like a lamer version of Alias. It's like Alias, it's like she plays a for what channel uh like tbs or something like that yeah usa yeah usa really yeah characters welcome characters welcome storylines not so much god i'm doing a charlotte characters welcome storylines come over here yeah let's go around let's go around by the side we gotta talk to you about something Piper Parabo but that's almost like as bad as who

what's her the woman from from the Sopranos the wife from the Sopranos I can't remember oh yeah Edie Falco

who's an amazing actress but nominated last year for best comedy like best comedic actress playing the pill puffing nurse that's how they

fit them in they just say well the show's kind of funny but everything is kind of funny ultimately the best drama

is kind of funny exactly Jaws has some awesome laughs in it exactly would you consider like it's Terms of Endearment

Terms of Endearment definitely that's not a comedy we could blame James L. Brooks for that whole oeuvre of like dramatic comedy.

Exactly. I don't know why they separate them. I really don't. Because I feel like they should always have more. It's always great to nominate people. But just to separate into a category, especially now, what's a comedy? What's a drama? It should be the performance.

And I guess comedy always gets screwed out of that because people don't credit comedy as being quality but it loses out but at least a great drama generally wins yeah i'd rather that yeah and those great dramas often do have humor in them so they're not you know in fact the most humorless dramas usually don't win anything because they're just way too humorous you could argue if anything but the kids are all right wins, that category is a travesty. Yeah, absolutely. Like, nothing counts.

Absolutely. But it's almost like rigged to just give it to them. To just give it to them, yeah. Like, last year didn't The Hangover win? It was just like it was in a walk. Oh, yeah, The Hangover won. Because it was a terrible musical that year, and everything else was...

Now, was anything else nominated from burlesque? Like, was Cher nominated? We don't even have time to get into it. But that's definitely... I have to go home and look. That's garbage glitter material right there. Oh, yes. G-I-G-T.

G-I-T-G. G-I-T-G. G-I-T-G. I don't think any of the acting in burlesque got nominated. But, you know, two songs from it got nominated. Christina did eight. Cher did two. Come on, there's a lot of options.

They never sang together. No. Odd. Weird. Weird. Cher did two. Come on, there's a lot of options. They never sang together. No. Odd. Weird. Weird. Cher never really moved while she sang. Also, Cher was shot from such a distance and in the dark. It seemed like someone had a mag light off camera.

And always holding a bottle of Patron. Yes. Which was a sponsor. It must have been. Yeah, it was. Okay, it had to be. I read that. It was all over Patron.

Did you guys hear that Out of Africa beat Do the Right Thing? What? What, really? Yep. What do you mean, Out of Africa beat Do the Right Thing? Oh, yeah. For Oscars. Academy Awards, it won that year, Out of Africa.

Wow. It was an insanely forgettable movie that has some of the worst, like, match-up effects that I've ever seen. But that's what I say. But that's what I say about Avatar. Avatar, great movie. No one wants to see that movie again. No one wants to see it again.

No one wants to see that again. I saw it twice to see it again. No one wants to see that again. I saw it twice. I'm so mad at myself. Some people want to live on that planet. They can go. I mean, it was beautiful. It was an amazing experience, but I'm never like, oh, let's pop an Avatar.

The five-hour cut. Let me watch that. It's time to play a Leonard Maltin game, you guys. I love that game. That was a fun discussion. You do? Yeah, I hate Natasha Leggero, and I love Leonard Maltin. Justin, you do?

Yeah, I hate Natasha Leggero, and I love her. I was telling the guys before the show that some people don't enjoy when Natasha Leggero's on because she doesn't play the game well. Meanwhile. Or even pretend to be interested in it at all. When I play this game live, I'm terrible. But when I'm in the car, I'm nailing it all the time. I'm like, oh, I know this! Why am I on this show this week? That's how it works. I'm excited to play.

I'm excited to try it. Alright, we'll let Paul Scheer start, and then we'll come around this way in the order. It's basically, and this is always good to do on the episodes where there isn't an audience, because the live audience is especially impatient with hearing the rules again.

But it's basically like name that tune, but with movies and actor names instead of songs and notes. Okay. So you have to say, I can name that movie in X number of names. And then we read the names of the cast list from the bottom up. So it's hard. It's most more obscure people or cameos or small roles. The last samurai, right?

Yeah, but if he's one of the first names you hear, oh, what did he have a tiny role in? That's what you have to ask yourself. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. So I'll let Paul pick a category to get us started. Would you like movies about movies? Okay.

These are movies that are about making a movie. That's going to be tough. One-name movies where the title of the movie is either a first or last name only. And then Entertainment Weekly's Best Bad Movie poll that they did recently. These are the best bad movies.

Which is a really weird way to describe something, so it's tricky. I'm going to do, against my better judgment, movies about movies. I think it's going to be hard because there's going to be a lot of people in it, and that's going to be distracting. But I'm going to do movies about movies. Okay. All right. Would you like one from, and then we let the contestant, I'm getting a call from my agent.

Then we let the contestant pick a year between three choices. 1952, 1978, or 1980. A movie from one of those years. I'm going to say 1980. That was a crazy year for movies. It really was. You guys are giving too much away.

Oh, okay. Four stars from Leonard Moore. Can't say I disagree. I saw a preview screening of this movie and everybody hated it and they did a lot of work on it and then it came out really great

little extra background on this one now the winner no I was going to say can you take the winner of the CDR auction to a preview screening or it has to be a movie that's out that could be exciting I think we're going to go see I'm going to be on the East Coast when this podcast plops. I'll be out there and I think we might go see Tron together.

I'm excited for Tron. Okay, this is from 1980, four stars from Leonard Maltin. And I already told you my story about it, but let me give you a couple of his little comments that he makes in his review. He says – he calls it outrageous. And he says, this is kind of a weird thing to say and probably won't give it away, so I'll say it. Amusing score. The movie has an amusing score.

Okay. And there are nine names. And it's a movie about making movies from 1980. How many names do you think you can get it in, Paul Scheer? I'm going to say six. All right. That's a nice opening bid. And we go over to Howard.

And he can either name any number of less names that he thinks he can get it in. Or he says, Paul Scheer, name that movie. Oh. So now can you guess it in less than six names? Yeah. Can I ask a follow-up question? Do you have more information about the movie? What's the title?

Just curious. Okay. You saw a preview screening of it? Yeah. In 1979? Yeah, or 78 maybe. Okay. In L.A.?

No, in San Diego. Oh, all right. Okay. I will. I'm going to leave it to Paul. I think he's anxious to guess it, and I think he'll have fun trying to guess it. So I'm going to leave it to Paul. Thank you.

That's an interesting way to play. Okay. Six names. Philip Bruns. Okay. Of course, the classic Philip Bruns. I know exactly who that is. He was bald and often had a cigar in his hand or mouth in every character he played.

Sharon Farrell. Okay. Blonde lady from that period of time. Alex Rocco. Ah! The great Alex Rocco. Yes. I can already name it.

Got shot in the eye in Godfather. Adam Rourke. Mm-hmm. Alan Garfield. Mm-hmm. Who also was Alan Gruerwitz for a lot of his career when he decided that Garfield was, you know, trying to cover up his Jewishness. Okay.

Is that six names yet? That is five. Chuck Bale? That's a good clue, Chuck Bale. I think I know it. And Chuck Bale, yeah. That's six names. Okay.

One, two, three, four, five, six. Chuck Bale. I'm going to say these names did not help at all. Alex Rocco is good. All right. Amusing score. Amusing score is movie about movies. Movie.

1980. All right. My guess. Four star movie. I'm going to go with my guess. I'm going to say Broadway, Danny Rose. Good guess. I don't think they make a movie in that, but.

Okay. They make a Broadway. They make a Broadway. I thought maybe think they make a movie in that, but... Okay. They make a Broadway. Yeah, they make a Broadway. I thought maybe it would sneak in. I'll give you the rest of the names, and then just anybody just say it when you know it. Barbara Hershey, Steve Railsback, and it starred Peter O'Toole.

My favorite movie of the year. No, that's TV also. It's called The Stuntman. Oh, wow. Yeah, have you seen it? No. Do watch it. no that's TV also it's called The Stuntman oh yeah have you seen it no do watch it it's crazy

and it's good I remember that I could never rent The Stuntman because it was rated R and then on the back it looked like someone was having sex and I always wanted to rent it

it's very weird the first cut that I saw I was I did not like it at all I thought this movie's insane because it tries too hard to like there's a lot of scenes

where something's happening and it turns out they're just filming a movie. Oh, okay. And they try to trick you a lot. And it's really complicated. Who directed that movie? A guy named Richard Rush. Oh, yeah, yeah.

Who's best known for also doing Freebie and the Bean. I love that. I saw that when I was a kid. I just bought that movie. I saw that one. Freebie and the Bean. Yeah, because somebody said it was such a good movie. I have that on my shelf.

It's got some dark, it was supposed to be all fun and games as a kid, but it's got some dark stuff. But I didn't see Stuntman because I'd already seen Hooper, and I thought, ah, they're just covering the same ground as Hooper. They kind of are, strangely enough. Really? Yeah, and Stuntman's got comedic moments, and Hooper's got some serious moments.

And they both have scenes where they do these elaborate stunts that there's no reason to shoot multiple stunts at one time. Yeah. Like, you have cameras that move, and you can reset and go shoot another stunt and pretend they happen one right after the other. Yeah, it's crazy. But I like both of those movies. All right.

I wouldn't have gotten that one. So, all right. That was good. So, that means, Howard Kramer, you got the point. See, that's... Yeah. You made me guess it. A lot of this game is just making someone else guess it.

Once you throw down that gauntlet, they have to get it. So Drew, we'll start with you. You get to pick a category. Would you like a category that's called In Theaters Now? That's movies that's in theaters around the country as we speak. So it's kind of a tricky approach to go through. Someone called Ben Foldsfan wrote on Twitter that I should do Harry Potter actors in other films.

What other films have any of them been? Rupert Grint. Yeah, I was going to say. No, when I say Harry Potter actors, it could be the entire cast of amazing actors. Like Emma Thompson and all those people. Oh, that's actually a great idea. Yeah, yeah.

But then also, speaking of big casts, movies with big casts. I'll do movies with big casts. Okay, would you like one from 1963, 1981, or 2001? Oh, I know this one. I'll make it hard. I'll do 1981. Paul already knows it. I know the 2001 one. The 2001 one?

What'd you think? The 2001 one? No, that's not what I was thinking. That one with Tim Allen. I just said it. Big Trouble, right? No, that's not it. Can I say it?

Armageddon. No. Wait, wait. I'm terrible with years I'd never even try to guess based on just the year but okay so we're going with

81 1981 this is a big cast movie okay Leonard Maltin calls it a bomb on his scale of bomb to four stars I would love it

so he's older so a bomb is not good sure it's not good his first line of the review is just what civilization needs and. His first line of the review is, Just what civilization needs.

And then the last line of the review is, Followed by a sequel. Okay. Wow. And there are 81. And there are... Stuntman 2. There are 15 names. Holy shit.

Yeah, it's got a big cast. Okay. Let me... I'll do it in... 15 names holy shit yeah it's got a big cast okay let me I'll do it in I'll try it in 8 8 names that's a bold is that bold yeah I like that

because it's like the bottom half okay I'll try it now it's a good start Paul I'll say 7 keep it interesting okay

Howard I'm gonna wait Howard Kramer from Who Charted from Who Charted on Earwolf. If these guys both miss it, I get the points?

Well, you would put me in the position to guess. Yeah, you'd have to say you guess, Paul. Or you would guess. Like you did last time, but he's going to get seven names this time. And then I would get an eighth name. Is that how it works? No. No, no.

You're just waiting to hope it comes back around to you. Oh. All right. I give it to Paul. Oh, man, he puts me in the hot seat again. He's doing it again. He might win. He might win the whole thing. You could take this whole thing down by doing that.

I like it. I like it. And there's no prizes. No prizes. He's bragging rights. Although I'm playing for someone in the audience listening named Mike. So, Mike, this is for you. Is he in a hospital?

Yes. Oh, my. I told him I was going to lose twice in a row. You get seven names? Seven names. I have confidence that Paul will get this. Looking at these names. Mel Tillis. Jimmy the Greek Snyder.

I got it already. Oh, is it Cannibal Ron? Molly Peacock. Can't say it out loud. Oh, I can't? Shit. It was for Paul. Paul, he said name that movie to Paul and then he's supposed to name it. Oh, shit. Did I say it? You did, but I'll say it.

I'm not going to say whether it's right or wrong or not. Let's just keep going. Bianca Jagger, Peter Fonda, Jamie Farr, Bert Convy. Okay. What do you think it is, Paul? Well, after much deliberation. Cannonball run. But you would have gotten that right

You would have gotten that When I heard Jimmy the Greek I knew it Yeah me too One person challenges the person behind them Name that movie then it's just for them I get it The last one I probably confuse you by opening it up to everybody After we got through the first few names

So now this time But that's just for fun I put it to No this time I got the point. He's the one that tried to get him to guess it, and then he guessed correctly. We're going to start with you again to pick a category.

So I pick a category, and this is for me to guess? Wait, Howard doesn't get to pick a category? Howard gets one, right? No, it's not distributed in that way. Howard's being penalized for having, say, named that movie to Paul and losing. Oh, I didn't know I could get penalized. You were just out of it.

Do I get penalized for screaming, cannibal run? Like when I hear Jim Lee Reed? We should just have... No, you're fine. All right. Thank you. But we've got to finish. All right, let's do it.

So I'll give you three more categories. These are repeats from earlier that weren't used. One-name movies. So the movie title is One Name. Best bad movies or In Theaters Now. I'll take best bad movies. Okay. Paul has a point.

Howard has a point. Howard has a point. Drew? Zero. You need a point Zero This is your chance Would you like one of the best bad movies from 2001 1999

or 1997 I'll say 99 Okay I was kind of hoping you'd go for 2001 There's some movie in 2001 with a big cast that's really bad that you really want us to see. But this doesn't have a big cast. Don't confuse it. These are best bad

movies. Two and a half stars from Leonard Maltin, so he didn't think it was so bad. Let's see a couple things he says about it. He says that it's sometimes exciting. And he says that Ronnie's sometimes exciting and he says that ronnie cox appears unbilled oh yeah i always love that clue because generally when that happens it's not yeah very memorable yeah yeah what did ronnie cox do and why did he have his name taken off why did he think oh i'm special

i don't need my name up there and why was it yeah why was that a thing what was that trivia review eight names okay how many names do you think you can get it um true drogy i will do it in five host of glitter in the garbage that's right four that's paul sheer host of how did this get me why why did this piece of shit happen that's it called again how did this get named? Why did this piece of shit happen? What's it called again? How did this get named? That's actually close. That's good. So how many did you say? He said four.

Four names. He thinks he can get it in four names, Howard. Now, if you say name that movie and he misses, that's for the win. You will win. Or you can say you can get it in less names and then Drew can say name that movie or he could say less names. If I don't say... The bidding is supposed to go around the table. For some reason, you're always

a stopper. I guess so. So if I don't say I can name that in last names and three names, then I never get to play the game? It might come back around to you. It will? Yeah, it depends on how... How many rounds do you do? This might come back around to you.

Okay. Plus also, if Drew gets the point, if Drew ultimately gets the point, then you'll be in a three-way tie and we play to two points. They're trying to beat me by taking the three. But I'm going to do it. I want the challenge. I'm going to take three names. All right. So now Drew can either say name that movie or say less names that you think you can get it in.

So I would say name that movie to Howard, right? Yes. All right. Name that movie, Howard. All right. Here we go. Okay. He was looking at me. I can confirm that he said it. This is just for Yes. All right, name that movie, Howard. All right, here we go. Okay, he was looking at me.

I can confirm that he said it. This is just for Howard. This is great. This is just Howard. Okay. This is 1999. Uh-huh. Okay.

Three names. This is a movie, a bad movie? Two and a half stars for a bad, a best bad movie, according to EW and their readers. Okay. I almost said listeners. And it's sometimes exciting. And Ronnie Cox, we all know from Robocop,

appears in an unbilled cameo. And your three names are Aida Turturro from The Sopranos. LL Cool J from LL Cool J. Mama said knock you out. And Stellan Starsgard.

That's a pretty good three names, I think. Yeah, I think I know this one. All right. Hang on. Hold up. Bigger, deafer, my head is like a shark's fin. What's the name of the movie? Hang on.

I know everything except the title. the movie? Hang on. I know everything except the title. It's with the sharks. It is unfairly generic. I know it. I know it. Shark soup. Thin.

Great. White. Big and great. You're just going to say words around the subject until you stumble into it uh I'm just thinking out loud

thinking out loud is my mental process I don't think you're gonna get it it's a tough one I don't know why it would suddenly appear cause it's really

it's really hard if you don't know it if you don't have a clue it doesn't have the word shark in it okay I haven't got a clue just

it's not big fish. I would say everybody be quiet, but then that's bad for radio, bad for podcasting. I know this. It's called Shark Station Zebra. It is a shark station. Shark Station Samuel Jackson Weaponized Sharks Cancer Sharks. Deep Blue. Deep Blue, Samuel Jackson, weaponized sharks, cancer sharks. Deep Blue. Deep Blue Sea.

Deep Blue Sea. Now wait, wait. There was another movie called Deep Blue. Oh, you're right. But now we have a three-way tie. We've got to finish this. So let's do this. Who challenged who on that one?

I challenged Howard on that one. Okay, so Paul gets to go. Paul gets to pick. Who gets to go? Paul gets to pick. This is the first. Would you like In Theaters Now, Harry Potter movies, or... Okay. I like how fast you are. Okay, this movie...

I got the helicopter to catch. Leonard Maltin writes a longer review when it's a fresh movie on his app, the Leonard Maltin app. So I will not be giving you the number of stars because he doesn't play that out of the gate. He just gives a very thoughtful review. And he says that it – this movie reeks with atmosphere. Got it. Reeks with atmosphere. Reeks with the atmosphere.

And then he goes on to say of where. And then he also says – he says it's going to stay with him for a long time to come. This movie. Wow, okay. And there are nine names and it's in theaters now. How many names do you think you can get it in? Reeks with Atmosphere.

Seven. It does not make you ask why did this movie get made. Alright. And it's going to chart. It's going to chart. Yeah. Okay. So it hasn't charted yet?

Hey. Hey. You always want extra information. I may go. I may kind of even. You know, I said my seven. Yeah, seven. How many do you think you can do it in, Howard?

I will go six. Drew? Five. Three. Three says Paul. If I leave him to three and he can't do it, I win the game? Yeah, yeah. You're poised to win.

I will say, Paul, name that flick. All right, you get three names. Here we go. Here we go. Deirdre Taylor. Okay. Erica McDonald. Uh-huh.

And Bianca Hunter. True Grit? No, but Great Guest, though. That opens on Christmas Day. And this might just be in theaters in Los Angeles. It might not be national yet. It might go national on the day this podcast comes out. And it's called The Fighter.

And I'm sure those are like three of his sisters. He has seven sisters in it. And it's really good. Christian Bale is amazing. What were the two names above the bianca taylor what were the names above that uh just above that is melissa mcmeekin so that's probably also a sister then jack mcgee which is the dad i would not have gotten melissa leo oh the mom then amy adams christian bale yeah yeah yeah i liked it came close all right All right. So Howard won. So you guys get to pick right down on this dry race board somebody for me to call a shithead at the end of the show.

You, Paul, and Drew get to do that. Listen to all their podcasts. Once again, Howard Kramer and Who Charted. Who Charted. And is there someone on there with you? Oh, absolutely there is. Our keeper of the charts, no charter sanctioned without her help is cool up nice cool up v cool up yeah and uh and then paul sheer show is called how why did this

get how did this get made what the hell what the fuck happened what the fuck is the name of his show and uh and you got jason madzukas is on there with you? Yes, Jason Madzukas and June Raphael. All right. My wife. Okay, I'm going to just put this down. Put down a name. And then, Drew, your show is called Glitter in the Garbage. Yes, it's called Glitter in the Garbage.

And they're guests on every week. I don't know. Is that the right way you spell it? Yes, it is. It made me laugh when you wrote it down. All right. Let's do this. Thanks, you guys thank

to all thanks to all of you for coming and it's and then if you could all scooch together as soon as i'm done here i'm going to take a picture of y'all so i can put it on the internet what you guys look like uh i don't know how to pronounce this guy's name but he's in burlesque and his name's Cam Gijade. Gijade. Gijade. It's Gijande. I believe it's Gijande. Gijade. He wears eyeliner the entire movie. I did not know. I did not know how to pronounce it.

He wears eyeliner and has lots of sex with girls with big boobs. And so that guy, Cam Gijade, is a shithead. And Katy Perry is a shithead. Rotten shithead, and Katy Perry is a shithead. Rotten shithead. Now it's time for Doug to watch another talkie. Eyes of gold, his viewing prowess makes him cocky. There's no room in his heart for you, cause Doug loves movies.
