Doug Loves Movies! movie interruption of Catwoman yesterday at 4.20 at the Roxy Theater with co-interrupters Nick Kroll, Eugene Merman, and Joe Mandy. My eight words or less review of Catwoman? Meowch! And I will play the audio from that event at the end of this shorty. On Friday night when I arrived at Sketchfest, I got to participate in the Adventures of Pete and Pete 20th Anniversary Show, where original actors from that program read some scenes, supplemented with actors like Colin Hanks, Padgett Brewster, James Urbaniak, and me. Yeah, me. So much fun. Thanks to all the Pete and Pete folks, especially little Pete himself, Danny Tamborelli, for thinking of me for that performance. Big Pete was there. Artie was there. Endless Mike was there. Ellen wasn't there, but we were told the actress who played Ellen is now a pediatric surgeon or something like that. surgeon or something like that. In classic scenes from the show, I got to play Jack the Mob Goon,

Mr. McFlamp, Mark Twib, and Mr. Slurm, the shop teacher. Great way to start Sketch Fest. And here's some great news. The Tournament of Championships 3 will plop in the comedy album section of iTunes tomorrow, Monday, January 28th. And if you can't wait until then to get it, go ahead and get it at DouglasMovies.com right now, supposedly. It's just two bucks, 90 minutes of ham with a side of wood and macuch.

Who will move on to the Super Tournament of Championships against Matt Bronger and Sam the Ma'am Levine, a.k.a. Lil Wolverine! From the corrections department, Keith Lowell Jensen, who guested on Doug Loves Movies in Sacramento, has actually made a film and neglected to mention it on a podcast about movies. He even brought a copy and gave it to me instead of

putting it in the prize bag. So I will have him on sometime again to talk about his movie. Maybe. Tweet me your thoughts on that. Now it's time for Tweet Relief, tweets about movies. At JTDJames tweeted to me, you should jump in on hashtag Star Wars 7 title game on Twitter. Examples, Han in 60 seconds, or PS I love you, PS I know. So I did jump in on the hashtag Star Wars 7 titles game with Vader's of the Lost Ark, R. Salacious Crumb, Vanilla Skywalker, and I Have a Bad Feeling About This Is 40. This has been Tweet Relief's tweets about movies. I promised the last time I was at Zany's Comedy Club in Rosemont, Illinois,

that I would come back and tape a Douglas movies, and it is actually happening. February 17th at 4.20. Let's do this, Chicago adjacent. Also, in January appearing on Doug Loves Movies. So it's the cast of something that I know you guys enjoy at Meltdown Comics, 8 o'clock Thursday night. Don't miss it. Tomorrow's Benson Movie Interruption at SF Sketch Fest is sold out. My anaconda don't want none of that. And there are just a couple of tickets,

like less than 10 for The Notebook on February 2nd. Plenty of seats available for Twilight, the original, the number one first Twilight movie directed by Catherine Hardwicke. We'll be playing on the big, big, big screen at the Castro Theater in San Francisco on February 9th at 420. It's a huge venue, so we're pulling out the big guns, guests-wise, and along with three other amazing peeps, Patton Oswalt. Yes, the Patton Oswalt will be there, schedule permitting. I'm a big fan!

Alright, so here's the opening to the Catwoman interruption. And as always, Sharon Stone is a shithead. So yeah, my favorite thing about this Catwoman movie, which I've only seen snippets of. I haven't really sat down and watched the whole thing. I just catch moments of it. But my favorite thing about it is that Halle Berry, they've decided that Catwoman

is part cat. Or all cat. Like, she just behaves like a cat. And my favorite is when she's sleeping on the shelf. You'll see. So let me bring in my, oh, first of all, I just want to say that tomorrow and are you hissing the movie or is there an anaconda in the building? I forget, does the anaconda hiss like that in the movie? I think it just opens its mouth real big and eats people whole. Especially their hole.

So there's that tomorrow and then the notebook next Saturday is, there's only like ten seats left for that, so jump on it if you like crying and feeling terrible about yourself. Because we're going to make you feel stupid for crying, but you're going to do it anyway, probably. Again, I've never seen, I've seen Anaconda, but I haven't seen the notebook. So it's a really fun experience for me. And then, on February 9th, digging

back to the beginning, because I didn't pay attention until part four, Twilight. The original Twilight. In the majestic, beautiful Castro Theater that seats 1,400

people. There will never have been a bigger screening of people laughing at Twilight ever. Because any time a theater that big showing Twilight is full, everyone is there because they love it.

And I have a strange passion for it now because I thought part two of part four was really entertaining. It turned me around finally. So I'm going back to the first Twilight. But let's ring out my guests for today. My co-interrupters are all doing their own shows

about SketchFest and here at SketchFest and I'll ask them about them when they get down here. Please welcome my friends Joe Mandy, Nick Kroll, and Eugene Mervin. So you guys certainly can, it's a real across-cooking microphone. It's a real smorgasbord of a microphone.

Every microphone is different. Yeah. Oh, this works. Yeah, just grab a seat where your microphone cord will reach. Okay. And then we'll hopefully not have too much of that. Sorry. Yeah, we got enough seats that if you sit a couple apart, we won't maybe have as much feedback issues.

Okay, we won't touch legs or anything like that. Yeah, you definitely won't. I don't want to sit right in front of that thing. That's what started the whole. Yeah, don't sit. So let's all maybe all move down just a little bit. Keep moving. Let's just keep moving. Let's just keep doing it, you guys. This is fun. This is the shortest. Welcome to the Benson and Friends

fine seats. Why are we playing music? Oh, this is good. This is the best way to see a movie. Hello? When I go to the movies, I always try to get the front row. I usually bring a mic

with an amp just so people know how I feel about the movie. I usually bring a mic with an amp just so people know how I feel about the movie. I saw National Lampoon's European Vacation in a theater and it was a theater that's now closed on Hollywood Boulevard in Hollywood and sitting in the very front

row, it was even closer to this front row this is a pretty close one, but any closer than that, forget it. I can't do it. But sitting in the very front row, Crispin Glover and his dad. His dad? His dad, who I loved. He's one of the two kind of

villains. His dad is Donald Glover? No, no. Alright, well, we'll talk about that later. That was Nick Kroll, everybody. Nick Kroll is here. And you do have a really fun microphone. That doesn't even look real. This microphone looks like a studio musician

got too addicted to heroin and had to sell a bunch of his items, like his crappy in-house studio. And this is like the microphone that... This is the main microphone that he finally gave up. That he plugged into his gateway computer. That's Joe Mamby, everybody. Also in the house.

You're doing... I thought you said last night at the Punchline, you're there all weekend. Yep. Doing shows with Michelle Boutot. Mm-hmm. And anything else you want to mention? I'm doing the Delocated show tonight with John Glazer. Oh, that's neat. Where's that at?

Cobbs? That's at Cobbs. Nice. And Nicole, what are you doing? I'm doing? Cobbs? That's at Cobbs. Nice. And Nicole, what are you doing? I'm doing a show of Cobbs right before John's at 7.30. This evening? Yes. So everybody, jump up

and run out of here when Catwoman's over. I bet you could leave 10 minutes before it ends. And not miss a thing. They could leave right now and not really miss anything. Catwoman wins, I think. Eugene Merman, you guys!

My favorite little boy on television right now. Holy shit. So funny. Bob's Burgers, you guys. You're doing a bunch of different shows here at Sketchfest. Yeah, but I only have one left and it's the Delocated show with Joe

and John at Topps. And you guys can go get dinner and then go to that. You'd miss Nick, but it's fine. That's fine. It's more important to get a good meal. I believe that, honestly. I'm going to go to you. I believe that you believe it.

Have you seen my act recently? It's all Andy Kimber, Joe. What about Catwoman, Nick? Have you seen it before? I have not. I have jerked off to her in the kit before. But that's the closest connection I have to Catwoman.

Fair enough. And I tried to jerk off to Anne Hathaway once. To what? To Anne Hathaway. But it didn't work? Yeah. Couldn't get it going. Should have tried the Riddler.

Anne Hathaway's rude for me now because every time I try to think of her, I just picture someone pulling her teeth out with pliers. See, that usually helps me finish. Yeah, you don't like those teeth getting in the way. Getting all in there. That's why San Francisco's my kind of town. I figured out today, I figured out why there's so many gay dudes here in San Francisco. Well, how come?

It's because all the women make their hair a dumb color. The men just lost it. I'm good. I don't need to fuck a flamingo. I'm going to suck off this dude. This is good. We're setting a tone. How do you...

Where do you, uh... Where do you stand on Catwoman, Eugene? I think I've seen it. You may have. I think that there's a cream that makes your... Anyway. I can't tell if I'm giving something away or if I don't remember the movie right.

No, there's a cream. There's like an evil cream. This whole movie is about an evil cosmetic, right? Yes. And it had Law and Order in it. Brad. Brad, Benjamin Brad. No, his name is Law and Order.

His name is Law and Order 4. Yeah, he can't get any work anymore for some reason. And yet Catwoman was so well made. Yeah, he is in fact in it. An Academy Award winning actress, Halle Berry.

So it's a good, I get why it was made. An Academy Award winner, Sharon Stone, right? Sharon's in it? She won the Academy Award, right? She did. And Alex Borstein from Family Guy has a part in it. Was my screenplay made on a dare?

Well, it was directed by someone named Pitoff. Pitoff. P-I-T-O-F. And yeah, Leonard Maltin only gave it one and a half stars. And he says, Barry does her best. You can only lick your arms so many times to make the movie good. And Stone manages to be dull even while parodying herself. I want to make fun of my own image badly.

I'm not going to do that well. So yeah, nonsensical he calls it. So yeah, so that's why we're going to watch it today. Beautiful day in San Francisco. And what's that? Can I use my privilege of microphone right now? Can I have a popcorn and some soda? Oh, yeah, yeah.

What do you want, like a Diet Coke? Yeah, me too. Okay, how about that? A couple Diet Cokes for the film. And if you want to put some goddamn milk duds inside of the popcorn, I would probably eat that as well. And if you keep your minstrel up,

it's like, wow, how'd that get there? And if you bring me Mike and Ike's, I'll throw them at the crowd. I would also like a Vespa. them at the crowd. I would also like a Vespa. What would you do with a Klondike bar? That's not the expression.

What would you do with a Klondike bar? I don't know. It's a hot day. Probably going to my ass. Yeah. My ass is on fire. It needs to cool down with a chocolate-coated ice cream cube.

Oh, Joe, have you seen Catwoman? Yeah, I saw it last year. Our friend Paul lent me the DVD, and it took me about three weeks to watch. I would watch like 15 minutes and just close my computer like, nope, nope, maybe tomorrow. But I do, I did enjoy the Egyptology

aspect of the movie. There's no Egyptian culture anywhere. Really? Well, they loved cats. They did. They had a cat goddess. We will learn about. Oh, you wouldn't? No way. Alright, you guys. Let's do this.

Thank you for coming to watch Capcom. 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!
