                                         Hey everybody, my name is Doug and I love movies.
                                         
                                         This is Doug Loves Movies, coming to you from a rental car.
                                         
                                         What kind of car is this, Graham?
                                         
                                         Doug, we're driving a Toyota Corolla, which is a fine automobile that we've had in the past.
                                         
                                         A little bit better than the Chevy Sonic that we had in Charlotte.
                                         
                                         That car was weird.
                                         
    
                                         It was weird. It had a tiny trunk.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         And it was kind of boxy.
                                         
                                         Real boxy, and just the layout of the buttonry was...
                                         
                                         Weird buttonry.
                                         
                                         Weird buttonry.
                                         
                                         I just didn't...
                                         
                                         Like, Chevy has some good cars, but then they always, like,
                                         
    
                                         we need to put out a couple of dumb cars,
                                         
                                         just to appeal to the idiot in the marketplace.
                                         
                                         Like, an armrest on my seat, but not on yours.
                                         
                                         Yeah, that was weird. And also the digital, the speed you were driving, speedometer, was in the wrong, was in a weird spot.
                                         
                                         It was in a weird place.
                                         
                                         And that was digital, but then the, I think you call it the tachometer with the RPMs,
                                         
                                         that was the analog with the dial.
                                         
                                         Yeah, because in a standard transmission, you really need to be able to keep track
                                         
    
                                         of the fucking
                                         
                                         RPMs.
                                         
                                         Gotta know those at all times.
                                         
                                         What are the RPMs?
                                         
                                         It is May 6th
                                         
                                         to Ocean's 12th,
                                         
                                         and we are driving from the airport
                                         
                                         in Atlanta to the
                                         
    
                                         hotel where we will be staying
                                         
                                         for one night and performing a sold-out show
                                         
                                         at the Punchline in Atlanta.
                                         
                                         Now, Graham, can we stop by the CDC on our way and see what they have to say about the
                                         
                                         zombie situation?
                                         
                                         Yeah, we've got to make sure everybody in Walking Dead is doing fine.
                                         
                                         Fucking dad is doing fine.
                                         
                                         Since last I spoke and you listened, Graham, Elwood, and I did a show at Sidesplitters in Knoxville, Tennessee.
                                         
    
                                         As we always do, we played the Leonard Maltin game at the end of the show.
                                         
                                         Yep.
                                         
                                         A gentleman who had a sign that said his name was Stu, so he went with Stu Baca.
                                         
                                         Yeah, and he was a full nerd,
                                         
                                         and he had another Star Wars shirt on that he designed, apparently.
                                         
                                         It was really cool.
                                         
                                         Oh.
                                         
                                         Fancy.
                                         
    
                                         He won in the category
                                         
                                         Love You Wrong Time,
                                         
                                         which was movies,
                                         
                                         time travel romance movies,
                                         
                                         of which I can only think of, like,
                                         
                                         three off the top of my head,
                                         
                                         and the correct answer in this case
                                         
                                         was Somewhere in time.
                                         
    
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         He made you guess it and you didn't know it, right?
                                         
                                         Something like that.
                                         
                                         Yeah, I believe so.
                                         
                                         Because he didn't, you know, obviously you didn't get the, you know,
                                         
                                         you had to do it in five or six names and you didn't get, you didn't, you know,
                                         
                                         obviously you didn't know.
                                         
                                         If it had been Jane Seymour and Christopher Reeve, then you would have been like,
                                         
    
                                         Oh yeah, that movie, I can't know if it had been Jane Seymour and Christopher Reeve, then you would have been like, oh, yeah, that movie.
                                         
                                         I can't remember the name of it.
                                         
                                         The two choices were 79 and 80,
                                         
                                         and I was like it's either Time After Time,
                                         
                                         which is the Jack the Ripper time travel.
                                         
                                         Yeah, David Warner and Malcolm McDowell and Mary Steenburgen.
                                         
                                         Which is a cool movie, and then Somewhere in Time.
                                         
                                         It's a little more flowery, but it's based on a Richard Matheson...
                                         
    
                                         I don't know if... I think it was a story that had a different name, but...
                                         
                                         It's got a pretty cool twist at the end that I won't reveal, but if you feel like fast-forwarding through the boring parts...
                                         
                                         Then we went to Charlotte, North Carolina to play a 420
                                         
                                         show at the Comedy Zone
                                         
                                         on Cinco de Hoyo
                                         
                                         yesterday.
                                         
                                         And Chad
                                         
                                         had an awesome name tag, especially
                                         
    
                                         the fact that his name
                                         
                                         was nowhere on it.
                                         
                                         So he sort of missed the point, but
                                         
                                         he made an amazing Leonard
                                         
                                         Maltin mask. Very amazing. And had a little sign, but he made an amazing Leonard Maltin mask. Very amazing.
                                         
                                         And had a little sign, like a cartoon drawing of Leonard Maltin that covered Chad's whole face.
                                         
                                         And then he also had a second sign that said, I hunger for games.
                                         
                                         So he really played into some themes from the show to get our attention
                                         
    
                                         and it worked.
                                         
                                         And he picked the category Avenge This,
                                         
                                         which was movies that
                                         
                                         any of the Avengers
                                         
                                         were in.
                                         
                                         And he lost.
                                         
                                         The movie was
                                         
                                         Horse Whisperer.
                                         
    
                                         Horse Whisperer.
                                         
                                         Very young Scarlett Johansson.
                                         
                                         And she was
                                         
                                         The number of names
                                         
                                         He had
                                         
                                         He just missed
                                         
                                         Like the next name
                                         
                                         Would have been
                                         
    
                                         Scarlett Johansson
                                         
                                         And then that's
                                         
                                         When I said it to you
                                         
                                         That's what gave it
                                         
                                         Away to you
                                         
                                         That's when you
                                         
                                         Figured out it was
                                         
                                         The Horse Whisperer
                                         
    
                                         And then while we
                                         
                                         Were in Charlotte
                                         
                                         We went to see
                                         
                                         The Avengers
                                         
                                         Yes we did
                                         
                                         And uh With a little time To think about it Graham in Charlotte, we went to see The Avengers. Yes, we did.
                                         
                                         And with a little time to think about it, Graham, where
                                         
                                         are you at on The Avengers?
                                         
    
                                         Well, I liked it, but I just
                                         
                                         I didn't get a fair shake
                                         
                                         because we were in this movie theater where the sound
                                         
                                         kept getting, like the music
                                         
                                         would go in and out of sounding like it was
                                         
                                         underwater. Yeah, beautiful theater
                                         
                                         called the Epicenter,
                                         
                                         where the whole place is really nice,
                                         
    
                                         and they have bars and food,
                                         
                                         and you eat off of a plate and drink out of a glass at your seat.
                                         
                                         And we had been there once before last year.
                                         
                                         We saw Sucker Punch there,
                                         
                                         and it was like the most beautiful experience
                                         
                                         watching a movie that wasn't really too involving
                                         
                                         and then
                                         
                                         so I was very excited to see the Avengers there
                                         
    
                                         on the 2D screen we didn't have to wear
                                         
                                         the glasses and
                                         
                                         and also having watched it
                                         
                                         there was no way anything ever happens in that movie
                                         
                                         that's oh I'm so glad I have these glasses on
                                         
                                         there was no way
                                         
                                         3D can still suck it
                                         
                                         and um but yeah they had sound issues
                                         
    
                                         which is unfortunate
                                         
                                         because when you go to a fancy place like that
                                         
                                         that's the last thing you expect is the sound to be weird
                                         
                                         through the whole movie
                                         
                                         and I finally went out because it would go back and forth
                                         
                                         so I was sitting there going well
                                         
                                         maybe it'll just correct itself it was one little bad patch
                                         
                                         and then I finally was like god this is fucking driving me nuts
                                         
    
                                         so I went outside and I said something like,
                                         
                                         Oh, two other people have said it.
                                         
                                         We're going to try to fix it.
                                         
                                         The last, you know, 20, 30 minutes of the movie
                                         
                                         during the big fight scene,
                                         
                                         they actually did fix it, which was good.
                                         
                                         But then you kind of expected a manager
                                         
                                         to be standing there afterwards going,
                                         
    
                                         Hey guys, sorry, here's free passes.
                                         
                                         They were just like, no.
                                         
                                         Yeah, and just also,
                                         
                                         You watched it.
                                         
                                         It kind of bothers me that, like,
                                         
                                         there were a lot of people in the room
                                         
                                         that didn't even seem to notice
                                         
                                         that the sound was so horrible.
                                         
    
                                         I mean, it really sounded like, you know,
                                         
                                         it would go into, like, slow motion or something,
                                         
                                         or like you said, underwater,
                                         
                                         every piece of music,
                                         
                                         and there's a lot of music in it.
                                         
                                         You know, a lot of dramatic scoring that just sounded like garbled mess.
                                         
                                         It was very strange. But, that having been said, I can still judge the movie and basically
                                         
                                         know that I will see it again, but that I just, I'm firmly in the disappointed column.
                                         
    
                                         I really thought getting all of them together would be amazing, but that I just, I'm firmly in the disappointed column. I really thought
                                         
                                         getting all of them together would be amazing, but there is far less fighting in it than
                                         
                                         there needs to be. Scarlett Johansson, you know, gets in a couple of scrapes with people,
                                         
                                         but I love to watch her fight people, and especially the very first time she fights
                                         
                                         someone, it's pretty awesome. It gets you in the mood for more of that, and then they
                                         
                                         just stand around talking about the Haceract,
                                         
                                         or the Flackermack, or the Schmacklebackle.
                                         
                                         Well, the thing, I think I liked it a little more than you, however...
                                         
    
                                         I didn't dislike it.
                                         
                                         Right.
                                         
                                         You know, it's good.
                                         
                                         It just, there was a little too much talking about,
                                         
                                         oh, arguing why they shouldn't be the Avengers in the beginning,
                                         
                                         where I was just like, just get, just, come on.
                                         
                                         Just be the Avengers. Just suit, where I was just like, just get, just, come on. Just be the Avengers.
                                         
                                         Suit up and go kick some ass.
                                         
    
                                         And then when they did that at the end, it was actually awesome.
                                         
                                         The end of the movie I really liked, although it is a little,
                                         
                                         and you and I were talking about this,
                                         
                                         we wanted to see more fight choreography and a little less just Transformer shit.
                                         
                                         Yeah, it gets very big action stuff and it's like, okay,
                                         
                                         that's, you know, I guess watching
                                         
                                         you know, oh Jesus.
                                         
                                         Wow. Wow.
                                         
    
                                         It's been hard. Yeah, let's
                                         
                                         check behind, make sure no one else is going to
                                         
                                         ram into us.
                                         
                                         Wow, somebody
                                         
                                         broke down or just
                                         
                                         can't negotiate. Doesn't know how to go
                                         
                                         onto a ramp?
                                         
                                         That's what happened.
                                         
    
                                         Yeah, because there was some smoke, too.
                                         
                                         I thought maybe there had been an actual collision or something. No, that truck that's about three cars ahead of us, when it hit its brakes, it set up some burnt rubber.
                                         
                                         It sure did.
                                         
                                         Hot steam.
                                         
                                         Oh, my.
                                         
                                         First, we got to worry about the zombies, and now bad drivers.
                                         
                                         It's insane.
                                         
                                         It's really crazy out here.
                                         
    
                                         So, what was I saying?
                                         
                                         Oh, just that, you know, yeah, it does become like a Transformers movie,
                                         
                                         but it handles that stuff better than Transformers movies,
                                         
                                         because there's still human characters or superheroes that you actually sort of care about.
                                         
                                         But that's the other thing, is sort of care about.
                                         
                                         Like, I didn't find any of the movies suspenseful. You know, it's always fun, but it's not exciting,
                                         
                                         you know, in that way. It's not like, it's not like Dark Knight. And, yeah, I just, I
                                         
                                         don't, but, you know, some very clever stuff in there. Really, there was one thing that made us laugh where we just kept laughing for several minutes after it happened.
                                         
    
                                         And, again, I'm not going to spoil it for anybody, but it was really funny.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         I just wish I had been more involved, but also the stupid sound made it have something to do with it.
                                         
                                         Yeah, I'm definitely going to see it again, you know?
                                         
                                         Yeah, and we'll talk lots more about it for the rest of the time. And we'll say this. Don't, you were right for leaving. So you did not see this new extended
                                         
                                         Dark Knight trailer. I got up, I ran out of the room when the new Dark Knight trailer
                                         
                                         came on because I don't, I just don't want to see anything more about it. I already saw
                                         
                                         the football field collapsing.
                                         
    
                                         I'm bummed I saw it because it almost tells me too much.
                                         
                                         And I was like, I'm never going to watch it again.
                                         
                                         I'm just going to close my eyes and not watch any Dark Knight anything until July 20th
                                         
                                         because I don't want anything spoiled for me.
                                         
                                         I'm already on board.
                                         
                                         That first trailer was great.
                                         
                                         Don't watch the extended one.
                                         
                                         already on board. That first trailer was great. Don't watch
                                         
    
                                         the extended one.
                                         
                                         From the corrections department,
                                         
                                         I told
                                         
                                         Paul F. Tompkins that 17 was
                                         
                                         a movie at the end of
                                         
                                         the rather long
                                         
                                         Build-A-Title in the last ep,
                                         
                                         and I was thinking of 13,
                                         
    
                                         and I guess I was
                                         
                                         just wishing that she was
                                         
                                         four years older,
                                         
                                         one year away from jailbait,
                                         
                                         and many years from being a viable option for me.
                                         
                                         But I do like that girl a lot.
                                         
                                         And apologies to Richard Belzer, who is actually a pretty good actor.
                                         
                                         I sort of said that he and Ice-T weren't good actors,
                                         
    
                                         but he goes all the way back to that show Homicide where he was quite good on that.
                                         
                                         So, flying back from the East Coast recently, I was on a United flight where they had unedited movies you could watch on the screen in the seat in front of you.
                                         
                                         It was free even in coach. And the lady next to me, she was watching the girl with
                                         
                                         the dragon tattoo, which I still refuse to see. But I said to her, I was like, enjoy
                                         
                                         the two brutal anal rapes. Spoiler alert.
                                         
                                         That issue is going to have to be addressed by the airline companies. People watching
                                         
                                         really graphic stuff on a plane
                                         
                                         where there's kids or something like that.
                                         
    
                                         You know what I mean?
                                         
                                         I guess, but they're going to be your kids
                                         
                                         or your kids are going to be sitting next to a stranger.
                                         
                                         But parents are always close by,
                                         
                                         so I would imagine that they could shield their eyes or whatever.
                                         
                                         But it is pretty amazing that they're unedited movies.
                                         
                                         Because I watched The Sitter because I never saw it.
                                         
                                         And I'm a huge Jonah Hill fan.
                                         
    
                                         I've always liked him.
                                         
                                         And I still really like him after watching The Sitter
                                         
                                         because he is quite funny in it.
                                         
                                         For my Moneyball, he's three for three in his last three movies
                                         
                                         as far as him being really good in them.
                                         
                                         The Sitter and Moneyball and Jump Street.
                                         
                                         I will go two for three.
                                         
                                         I'm telling you,
                                         
    
                                         The Sitter,
                                         
                                         I was really pleasantly surprised.
                                         
                                         Again, I'm watching it on a plane.
                                         
                                         No, I like The Sitter.
                                         
                                         Oh, you did see it?
                                         
                                         I did see The Sitter.
                                         
                                         Oh, yeah.
                                         
                                         It's pretty funny.
                                         
    
                                         I liked it better.
                                         
                                         It's the same director of Pineapple Express and I liked it better than Pineapple Express.
                                         
                                         Yeah, and it's better than what I thought it was going to be.
                                         
                                         The trailer made it seem like, oh.
                                         
                                         The trailer did the worst job.
                                         
                                         The trailer just focused on that he has to take care of three little kids.
                                         
                                         Right.
                                         
                                         And didn't, like, and they kind of set up that he gets involved with, like, oh, there's
                                         
    
                                         some gangs or something that he's going to have problems with.
                                         
                                         But I just remember thinking, because the three little kids all have their own quirky And they kind of set up that he gets involved with, like, oh, there's some gangs or something that he's going to have problems with.
                                         
                                         But I just remember thinking, because the three little kids all have their own quirky little problems that are not typical of little kids in those kinds of movies. You know, they're not like the three kids in Adventures in Babysitting that are all just, you know, fairly bland, except for the little girl who likes dressing up as Thor and carrying a hammer.
                                         
                                         I thought that was pretty awesome. So, I uh I really like that guy I I think Jonah Hill still
                                         
                                         got some uh still still got the the chops like I really liked uh a lot of what he did in that movie
                                         
                                         because a lot of the dialogue seemed like he might have you know made it up and and he's also just really good at whenever the kids would do something weird he's just really good at acting
                                         
                                         like why why the fuck is this happening and uh i feel bad i still feel bad though about the one
                                         
                                         time i was hosting a comedy bang bang at ucb and he was practicing stand-up for funny people
                                         
    
                                         when i introduced him i said ladies and gentlemen you, here for a big treat, here's Jonah Ray.
                                         
                                         Ha ha.
                                         
                                         He walks out and I'm like, oh, God.
                                         
                                         Anyway, in the episode that we taped of Doug Lowe's movies,
                                         
                                         it's at Zany's in Chicago that people have already gotten to hear.
                                         
                                         I was talking about how weird it was
                                         
                                         that you could see Kevin Spacey
                                         
                                         eating a lady out in a pool in, um,
                                         
    
                                         or he's watching a porn of someone else doing it.
                                         
                                         I forget what it is, but anyway.
                                         
                                         You just don't see dudes muff-diving
                                         
                                         in movies, in American movies,
                                         
                                         pretty much ever. and I was talking
                                         
                                         about it on that podcast, and then got on a plane and watched The Sitter, and the very
                                         
                                         first scene in The Sitter is Jonah Hill going down on Ari Greiner, less graphic than in
                                         
                                         Working Girl, which, by the way, Working Girl's rated R, uh, I was thinking it might have
                                         
    
                                         been a PG-13, but that's just, that would be ridiculous.
                                         
                                         Because Alec Baldwin has his shirt off a lot in that movie.
                                         
                                         So watch The Sitter is the point of that story, I guess.
                                         
                                         And I also wanted to say that the trailer doesn't get the impression that J.B. Smoove and Sam Rockwell are in it.
                                         
                                         And their characters are funny and weird stuff happens to them.
                                         
                                         Very weird stuff.
                                         
                                         And I really like the first scene with, the early scene with, that sort of sets up his emotional path.
                                         
                                         Where he just wants, Jonah is doing all the stuff that he does in the movie
                                         
    
                                         just because he cares about his mother and he wants her to be happy.
                                         
                                         And she's played by Jessica Hecht, who's a really good actress,
                                         
                                         who's in Sideways, and she's one of the lesbians in Friends.
                                         
                                         How do you think we're doing on time, Graham?
                                         
                                         Are we getting close to...
                                         
                                         I think we're probably 10-15 minutes out.
                                         
                                         Traffic has not been bad?
                                         
                                         We're right now amongst all the tall buildings of...
                                         
    
                                         Well, the other way is horrible.
                                         
                                         Oh, yeah, look at that.
                                         
                                         They're jacked up.
                                         
                                         What else did I want to talk about?
                                         
                                         Oh, I watched Ghost Protocol on the plane again,
                                         
                                         because I was on like a six-hour flight,
                                         
                                         so I saw like three feature films in one flight.
                                         
                                         And I watched Ghost Protocol again,
                                         
    
                                         with my hood up, Ghost Protocol style.
                                         
                                         And I thought of something really funny,
                                         
                                         and this is going to involve spoilers,
                                         
                                         so you might want to skip this part if you still haven't seen MI4.
                                         
                                         But you know when they're in the tower in Dubai,
                                         
                                         and the hot IMF lady, who I figured out stands for I Am Fuckable,
                                         
                                         she kicks the hot lady assassin girl out the window.
                                         
                                         Right.
                                         
    
                                         And she just falls to her death.
                                         
                                         And, you know, it's PG-13, so we don't get to see anything.
                                         
                                         She just falls, and you're like like oh that that's gnarly then the very next scene tom cruise is running from that building
                                         
                                         it would have been so funny and if it were rated r or directed by the guy who did the raid this
                                         
                                         could have happened it would be so funny if he had to jump over her splash you know totally dead
                                         
                                         disgusting body on the ground outside the building but But he's just running until he gets
                                         
                                         into the sandstorm.
                                         
                                         And also, something I missed
                                         
    
                                         in the previous two times that I saw
                                         
                                         the movie, you know when the
                                         
                                         IMF lady
                                         
                                         chokes out,
                                         
                                         you know when she's got the slumdog
                                         
                                         millionaire guy in a chokehold
                                         
                                         and she says, give me the codes.
                                         
                                         Do you remember what the codes codes. Do you remember what the
                                         
    
                                         codes were, what he tells her the code is? No. It's 36, 22, 23, because his character
                                         
                                         is like a total perv, and so it's like his idea of perfect measurements. I thought that
                                         
                                         was a nice touch. Oh, and that was one thing I really liked in the Avengers,
                                         
                                         was the World Council lady,
                                         
                                         World Security Council was played by Jenny Agater.
                                         
                                         I didn't recognize her, but I saw her name in the credits.
                                         
                                         She's from Logan's Run and American Werewolf in London.
                                         
                                         She was always, when I was a young lad,
                                         
    
                                         she was a reliable, she got naked in everything.
                                         
                                         She got naked in Logan's Run. I think that was like a PG. So I'm happy to see that she's alive
                                         
                                         and working and is a nice little addition to that movie. Now, this morning when we dropped
                                         
                                         off the rental car in Charlotte, this nice bus driver lady said, oh, you know, just stay
                                         
                                         in the car with all your bags and I'll
                                         
                                         just drive you over to the, I guess it must have been a slow morning and she didn't have
                                         
                                         anything better to do. And she, and she also told us she likes, she likes driving all the
                                         
                                         cars just to, just to get a, get a feel for them even because she's normally driving a
                                         
    
                                         bus. And, um, so I surreptitiously started recording our conversation with her in the car.
                                         
                                         It's just a couple of minutes, but let's go ahead and listen to that now.
                                         
                                         Okay, you got to get that Pacifica out of the way because I'm on a mission.
                                         
                                         Why is that Pacifica in our way?
                                         
                                         Because they're trying to make a U-turn in it.
                                         
                                         I can make a U-turn in the bus.
                                         
                                         I don't know why he couldn't make a straight U-turn.
                                         
                                         Some people.
                                         
    
                                         I hope that's not a woman driver because it makes us look bad.
                                         
                                         What's your name?
                                         
                                         Penny.
                                         
                                         Hi, Penny.
                                         
                                         I'm Doug and he's Graham.
                                         
                                         I almost forgot which one I was.
                                         
                                         I knew there was a woman making us look bad.
                                         
                                         Now, she's both women drivers are hell of a side, you know.

                                         What do you do when you have a day off?
                                         
                                         What are you into?
                                         
                                         If I'm not reading or taking care of one of my six grandchildren, I'm online gambling.

                                         Does anyone hunger for games?
                                         
                                         I do.
                                         
                                         Are you game hungry, Graham, or are you having to navigate at this point and figure out where we're at?
                                         
                                         You know, I can do a little bit of both.
                                         
                                         Alright. It's kind of a complicated game, so...
                                         
                                         Oh, stupid.
                                         
                                         Yeah, so I know you're busy driving, so...
                                         
    
                                         We'll give it a shot and see what happens.
                                         
                                         It was suggested on Twitter by...
                                         
                                         What's up, Teaspoon?
                                         
                                         Yeah, Teaspoon? Yeah, Teaspoon!
                                         
                                         And he suggests
                                         
                                         a game he calls
                                         
                                         Six Degrees, Hold the Bacon.
                                         
                                         So it's like Six Degrees
                                         
    
                                         of Kevin Bacon, but you don't...
                                         
                                         Kevin Bacon's not...
                                         
                                         He doesn't have to be a part of it.
                                         
                                         Let's leave Kevin Bacon out of it.
                                         
                                         Can you imagine?
                                         
                                         He gets asked about fucking Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon every... Kevin Bacon out of it. He gets... Can you imagine? He gets asked about fucking six degrees of seven bacon every...
                                         
                                         Of Kevin Bacon, not seven bacon.
                                         
                                         In every interview he does, he probably gets asked about that.
                                         
    
                                         Plus, I'm a vegetarian, so we don't...
                                         
                                         Yeah, so hold the bacon.
                                         
                                         Aha!
                                         
                                         When Grandma...
                                         
                                         Hold the bacon and keep that gluten to yourself as well.
                                         
                                         Oh, real quick.
                                         
                                         The guy in Charlotte, thanks to those gluten-free,

                                         Candy bars, were they good?
                                         
                                         They were good.
                                         
                                         He got them at,
                                         
                                         they're like vegan gluten-free protein bars,
                                         
                                         which I eat a lot of those for traveling,
                                         
                                         and they were great.
                                         
                                         He got them at Whole Foods.
                                         
    
                                         God bless you, sir.
                                         
                                         Yeah, we picked him after Chad lost
                                         
                                         because he sucked up to you
                                         
                                         with the gluten-free shit,
                                         
                                         and then I looked at the phone and we were out of time.
                                         
                                         The show had to end because there was going to be another show.
                                         
                                         So I just said, here, have the prize, you fucking gluten-free candy bar weirdo.
                                         
                                         Get off the stage.
                                         
    
                                         You make me sick.
                                         
                                         So we won the prizes.
                                         
                                         He didn't have to play.
                                         
                                         So it felt sort of bad for Chad, but, you know, what are you going to do?
                                         
                                         I'm going to tweet the picture of Chad's name tag, but I'm not going to tweet a picture of a gluten-free

                                         have never worked together, and then you try to connect them in six degrees or less. Oh,
                                         
                                         okay. And if you can't make it to six degrees, I automatically win, but if you do them in six degrees or less oh okay uh and if you can't make it to six degrees i
                                         
    
                                         automatically win but if you do it in six or less then you give me two names and i have to connect
                                         
                                         them in less names than you did in order to win and if for some reason there's a tie then we go
                                         
                                         again so which which would be easier for me from your position right now Naming two actors who haven't worked together
                                         
                                         For me to do
                                         
                                         Or the other way around
                                         
                                         Me tell you two actors
                                         
                                         And you try to figure it out
                                         
                                         Okay give me two actors
                                         
    
                                         We're traveling through a toll plaza
                                         
                                         But we do have a plate pass
                                         
                                         So we will not have to stop
                                         
                                         So a toll will be transacted while you're listening to this
                                         
                                         But you won't hear a thing
                                         
                                         You'll just hear you go on and on about it Toll will be transacted while you're listening to this, but you won't hear a thing. You'll just hear you go on and on about it.
                                         
                                         Toll being transacted.
                                         
                                         Right on.
                                         
    
                                         It's happening.
                                         
                                         Okay.

                                         And Roger Moore, that is going to be a tough one.
                                         
    
                                         Let me see.
                                         
                                         Roger Moore hasn't worked for a while.
                                         
                                         He was in, let's see, a couple of those then there James Bond motion pictures.
                                         
                                         Yeah, I think he's in a couple of those.
                                         
                                         Yeah, and he was in one of those with...

                                         So Roger Moore was in A View to a Kill with Christopher Walken,
                                         
    
                                         and Christopher Walken was in Pulp Fiction with Samuel L. Jackson.
                                         
                                         Oh, my God!

                                         So that's, what do you call that?
                                         
                                         That's one degree.
                                         
    
                                         Or no, that's two degrees.
                                         
                                         Two degrees of... Because you'll get it in one degree if you can just think of a movie they were in together,
                                         
                                         and we just didn't realize, you know, when you said it, you didn't realize it.
                                         
                                         Yeah, because there's, you know, there's lots of times...
                                         
                                         Those guys could have been in a movie together, Sam Jackson and Roger Moore.
                                         
                                         I don't believe they ever were.
                                         
                                         But, all right, let's try one for you.
                                         
                                         See if you can do it.
                                         
    
                                         Let's go with Sandra Bullock.
                                         
                                         Oh, God.
                                         
                                         And...
                                         
                                         Billy Crystal.
                                         
                                         Sandra Bullock and Billy Crystal. All right, Sandra Bullock and Billy Crystal

                                         you can think about this for a second
                                         
                                         you gotta get it
                                         
    
                                         you gotta think of a movie they were in together
                                         
                                         or link them up with
                                         
                                         with just one move
                                         
                                         like who did
                                         
                                         who have they both worked with
                                         
                                         god somebody they both have they both worked with? God.
                                         
                                         Somebody.
                                         
                                         They both have done it.
                                         
    
                                         They had to have.
                                         
                                         They had to have.
                                         
                                         God, this is going to fuck me up.
                                         
                                         I'm still reeling from that whole toll thing.
                                         
                                         It was so exciting.
                                         
                                         We didn't have to stop.
                                         
                                         It was great. We just flew right through.
                                         
                                         Money just flew out of the car.
                                         
    
                                         I think that very toll plaza was backed all the fuck up
                                         
                                         when they tried to go to Atlanta and Walking Dead.
                                         
                                         Yeah, no shit.
                                         
                                         We're coming up on our exit.
                                         
                                         Okay.
                                         
                                         Sandra Bullock.
                                         
                                         Here, you think about it for a second, and I'll throw the plugs out.
                                         
                                         Okay.
                                         
    
                                         Because a lot of these plugs involve you anyway.
                                         
                                         I'm going to be taping a Douglas Movies at the Laughing Skull in Atlanta on Friday, May 18th at 6 p.m.
                                         
                                         And Graham is going to be in town playing that club the entire...
                                         
                                         I know, isn't it?
                                         
                                         This is weird.
                                         
                                         We're coming back to Atlanta in two weeks.
                                         
                                         But we're just doing the one show tonight.
                                         
                                         It's sold out already.
                                         
    
                                         But we're just doing the one show tonight.
                                         
                                         It's sold out already.
                                         
                                         And then we're going to come back,
                                         
                                         and you can see Graham do headlining shows at the Laughing Skull.
                                         
                                         And he, of course, will be joining me and a couple other funny dudes to tape an episode of Douglas' movies.
                                         
                                         And it's 6 p.m., like a happy hour show.
                                         
                                         And then Graham's got two headlining shows later that night.
                                         
                                         And it's a very small, intimate club.
                                         
    
                                         So it'd be a very fun place to,
                                         
                                         uh,
                                         
                                         to see Graham do standup and to see us do,
                                         
                                         uh,
                                         
                                         Douglas movies.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         I'm headlining.
                                         
                                         So I'll be doing longer sets and,
                                         
    
                                         uh,
                                         
                                         yeah,
                                         
                                         maybe I'll come in and do some guest sets on that Friday night.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         Night before we're going to go see,
                                         
                                         uh,
                                         
                                         our friends sleep rage and they're playing,
                                         
                                         uh,
                                         
    
                                         in Atlanta.
                                         
                                         And that's part of why I decided to go there again so
                                         
                                         soon. I'll be at the Comedy

                                         And then the same kind of deal at Zany's in Nashville with three shows.
                                         
                                         Me and Graham Elwood will be there May 26th, 27th, 28th.
                                         
                                         26th and 27th is stand-up with Leonard Maltin on the end.

                                         to see, and then he'll be joining us

                                         No, I'm sorry, those are going to both be stand-up shows.
                                         
                                         Those will both be stand-up shows, but we will play Leonard Maltin Game at the end of each of those shows.
                                         
                                         And I'm also going to try to start recording the Leonard Maltin Game at some of these shows out on the road
                                         
                                         and including that in the podcast so people can hear what happened and enjoy that.
                                         
                                         What do you got for Sandra Bullock and Billy Crystal?
                                         
                                         You put them together at all in any way?
                                         
    
                                         Yes.

                                         I was trying to think of Viggo.
                                         
                                         She was in a movie with Viggo Mortensen

                                         what, it seems, they just say it's going to take 45 minutes.
                                         
    
                                         Yeah, she was like, well, 35 to 40 minutes.
                                         
                                         And we just, in Atlanta, we just landed in a much bigger airport.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
