Doug hates candy wrappers, screaming baby, sticky seeds with 50 acid pop or kernels in his teeth. There's still not one that he won't see, cause Doug loves movies! Hey everybody! Let's cut that music as quickly as possible because I can't put this on the iTunes if somebody's music is underneath it. What's up? I pray to God that that buzzing sound isn't just me.

That's not just in my head, is it? No, there's a buzzing. Do we want to try to fix the buzzing or should we just soldier forth as if there wasn't buzzing? What do you think? They're working on it. They're working on the buzzing.

All right. Well, this will, you know, as podcasts go, what's... Anybody know what the buzzing is back here? That's good for a podcast. Yeah, do more off-mic comedy, Todd, during a podcast. That's fantastic. You piss off the listeners. Oh, Todd sounds like he's being funny.

Oh, spoiler alert if you didn't know who the guest was. But there's two chairs. Has Todd finally gone off the deep end and needs two chairs and two microphones? Anyway, I just want to say briefly before we start here that depending on the date this episode of I Love Movies drops, you might be able to go out and purchase my movie Super High Me, which comes out on June 17th so I don't know if oh okay the buzzing stopped

June 17th is when the movie comes out so put it in your Netflix queue or go on Amazon.com or just you know get involved in it any way you can the day it comes out I want it to be you know as big as possible. To fuck with the man!

No. I just think it's a funny movie and I want people to see it. So let's go ahead and get into this episode and bring my guests out. What do you say? Let's hear it for them for coming all the way down here in their condition. And you'll see what condition I mean when they're out here.

These two fellas, I just came from their podcast. They have a podcast called Comedy and Everything Else. And it's hilarious and extremely long. This is a tight 30 minutes that you're going to hear right now. But their show goes on and on and on.

But it's awesome. Let's get them out here. Jimmy Dore and Todd Glass, everybody. Jimmy D and Mr. Flippy Flop. Mr. Flippy Flop Shoes is here. Sit wherever you like. You can take the mic out and, you know. I disagree. Todd doesn't understand the

nature of the program that's okay i will uh try to try to walk him through it that's what you guys think but you know what everyone else has a right to their opinion too okay so it's good to have a guest that fills those gaps with words no matter what they mean or... Good evening. Good evening, Doug. How are you? I wouldn't describe our podcast as going on and on and on. Hang on, Jimmy. I'm getting a call on my phone. It's called Comedy, Jimmy. Oh, it's a friend of mine. He's a comic.

He lives in Austin, Texas. Maybe he's in town, seeing what's going on tonight. Hey, can you get me into Death Ray? Oh, I should mention that Comedy Death Ray is a show at the UCB Theater where we're doing this show not live but in front of a live audience. Thanks to them. Was that hard to follow, Todd? It seemed like a lot.

Yeah, well, you know, because we're not live, but it is a live audience. We're at the UCB Theater. I got in all the points I was trying to make there. We're performing in real time for the audience that's here live. That's right, Jimmy. Yes. Yeah. See, Jimmy got it.

Could I get you some gum? Will that help you to think? I know. Because it helps Jimmy think. Can I spit out my gum? It's kind of unprofessional the way you're just sitting there chewing away at it. Okay. Here's what it looks like.

Look. No one wants to know what you think. Okay, I already swallowed it. Could you quit? I already tried to tell. Why doesn't anybody ever care what I think? Todd's doing a lot of facial humor for the listeners. First he does the yelling from behind the scenery bit for the listeners,

and now the facial humor. This is a podcast, Todd. By the way, the buzzing was actually, someone had a clock back there, a timer, and it was buzzing. But Emily luckily found that and turned it off. Oh, it was a timer going off. Yes, it was actually something set to buzz. Wow. Unbelievable.

I bet it didn't even... Unbelievable. I bet it didn't even... You're so sad in that moment. I got nervous. Right as I said it, I thought Jimmy was going to yell at me. So we're here to talk about movies. Let then I roll my eyes at it. Let's go to Todd first.

What's the last movie that you saw in a motion picture theater beginning to end? You don't have to sit through the credits. Jesus Christ. But at least the whole movie. The whole movie in a motion picture. No, no, not on TV. Because you know he's like cleaning or texting or something while he's watching a movie on TV. In a movie theater, sat down and watched

it beginning to end. What was the last one? Comedy? Any genre. Do you want me to make the question harder? Is that what you're asking me to do? On the west side only, though. What part of town? I know he did see

it into the wild without stopping. That's true. Into the wild. That I know he did see it, Into the Wild, without stopping. That's true. Into the Wild. Even though that was on a DVD. Well, I applaud you for that, because that is a fantastic movie. Very underrated, I tell you. Did you like it? Even though people loved it, I thought it was underrated.

Really? Yeah, like, you know, Sean Penn wasn't nominated for directing. I felt the same way. What's his name? That music was the best original music in a movie, and Eddie Vedder didn't win anything for that. Oh, the music was okay, but the movie. What's the problem?

Well, first of all, I'm sure you're a little disgruntled because the Hal Holbrook part went to another actor, specifically Hal Holbrook. Doesn't he kind of remind you of Hal Holbrook? Like a younger Hal Holbrook. No, you do. Like five years younger. He does. Five years younger Hal Holbrook. like a younger Hal Holbrook? No, you do. Like five years younger. He does.

Like a five years younger Hal Holbrook. I got to admit, you're right. I think I overdubbed it. Don't take this the wrong way. You got to admit, he's got a point. Don't take this the wrong way. Oh, no, Jimmy. Doug Benson is right.

I've always thought of Doug as a young Sidney Pollack. That's what I thought. About five years younger. Yeah, I'll take that. Am I wrong? He was good He was good up until the end there He was one of my favorites

I loved him in I don't even know who that is I loved him in that movie I loved him in that George Clooney's movie That was the dude's name Michael Clayton No

You don't know who Sidney Pollack is? Ocean's Eleven Sidney Pollack who? What did you say? Who? Oh what? Sidney Pollack?

Yeah, I know. You knew this was going to happen. I knew what was going to happen. When I gave him the loaf, what was it? A maple nut loaf full of weed I gave Todd. And he ate the whole thing. Because I wouldn't normally do that, and I didn't know how much was in there. What do you mean you wouldn't normally do that?

Like, what's normally? Tuesday afternoons. If there was a funeral that you were going to, then you probably wouldn't do it. I wouldn't do it as much as I did before this. It's very hard for me to follow one sentence. So I just sit here

and fear that you're going to catch me. I'm like, what's he talking about? Something to do with a cat or something? I should really get the guests high every time because it really ups my game. Oh, does it? Yeah, if you guys are high. Yeah, I did not like Into the Wild.

I'll just say that right now. I don't like it either. No, I got it. I got it. Todd didn't care for it one bit. Todd loved it, I thought. He didn't care for it from beginning to end. I didn't like it.

Yeah. I'm the guy who agrees with everybody. But it was bad, though. But it was good except for all the bad parts. You know what? I didn't like it. No, but it the guy who agrees with everybody. But it was good, except for all the bad parts. You know what? I didn't like it. No, but it was, you know. It was good, though.

Yeah, not too bad. You don't have to like it. Not too bad. What's a little bad going to hurt? It sucked. Yeah, but I love it. No, he's got a point. But I loved it, though.

Oh, sure. It was good. There was something to love. Let's put it in the mic Todd Right into the mic Hello He's turning to Turning to Jimmy

And talking Gotta stay on mic Okay Alright Or yeah That's another way to go We actually saw the Michael Clayton You tied

I actually had to go back And see the We were watching it I went to the movie theater Right And The right There's about maybe Ten minutes went to the movie theater. Right. And the... Right?

There's about maybe 10 minutes left of the movie and the fire alarm goes off. It's like right... Where? In the movie theater. Oh, your regular movie theater? At my house.

And they... No, where was it? Where was it in the movie? Was it a scene in the movie Where there was a fire alarm? Because that would be confusing No, no Ironically, it was right at the

Wouldn't that be crazy? You'd be like, is it real or is it in the picture? Which one is it? Is there a fire alarm going off now too? We better run out just in case How could that be? That'd be a crazy coincidence I'm sitting put.

I really think we should go. We should go. If there was a fire alarm on the movie screen and then also one in the movie theater, I would not go anywhere. I agree. I wouldn't. Yeah. I've stayed in my hotel room. Because they cancel each other out. I know what he means, but I think I know

what he means. When I'm in a hotel and the alarm goes off, I lay in bed. I go, everything's going to be all right. I never. Have you ever left? Without giving too much away, had Michael Clayton died yet when the movie stopped? No, his car...

His car had just blown up, that part. And so it was like, whoa, it's really going to get into some thick shit here. And what the fuck? And somebody left the popcorn thing going. Oh, so it was an out whoa, it's really going to get into some thick shit here. And what the fuck? And somebody left the popcorn thing going. Oh, so it was an out-of-doors sequence. Yes. So you knew that it wasn't...

Yes. There's no fire alarm out of doors. Even though a car exploding, maybe some ashes flew into a nearby home and set off their home alarm. This was rural Long Island. There wasn't any... The same time.

And this is in the movie, I mean. I saw it right here in Pasadena. Todd, did you follow that? Pasadena, really? How is movie going in Pasadena? Are they like... Is it like kind of being out in the world? Like do people talk and stuff during the movie?

Can I ask you a question? Yeah. I swear I'm not being silly. Ask it into the microphone. I'm not being silly. I swear to God. I'm being totally serious. Okay.

Is there really a little old lady in Pasadena? Seriously. No, serious. No, serious. Now the whole crowd's like, oh my God, he's getting to that high where it's like, ugh. Or someone gets a little too weird, you're like, what? He's getting to that part of his high where it's Todd making stuff up. Because as I was saying that, it seemed dumb.

What was I saying? I don't know. So then I went back and watched the movie again because they gave us a free pass. Well, they didn't give it. We had to hunt a guy down. You know, because they have two people working at fucking movie theaters now. How about this? This will be fun for the audience.

I'm going to make these two lose their minds laughing right now. No, no, no. Don't. I knew this guy. He said he had a talking dog. And he's like, just ask it a question and it will answer it. Just ask it anything you want. And I'm like, all right, I'll play along.

What's the thing on top of a house called? And the dog goes, roof. That's horrible yeah and I was like oh I shouldn't have asked something that sounds arguably that sounds like barking the thing on the house so I gotta ask a more specific question so then I said who's your favorite

who's the best baseball player of all time it's a better one right but the dog is like ROOF I'm like oh well that's shoot that still sounds like ROOF ROOF you know it kind of sounds kind of similar like, Ruth! I'm like, oh, well, shoot, that still sounds like Ruth, Ruth, you know, it kind of sounds similar. So I was like, I've got to try one more question. What's your,

what's the most popular tourist attraction in San Francisco? This is true, right? Yeah, the dog says, Worf! And I was like, be more specific, Fisherman's! Worf! Fisherman's Wharf! Fisherman's Wharf!

I like the clam! Chowder! It's delicious! Oh! Oh! You want to hear something funny? I thought, here's what I thought. I thought, oh my God, I'm not going to laugh because Doug goes, watch these guys go nuts. I thought, I've seen it enough.

It probably won't make me laugh again. So I was worried, what if I don't laugh at the end of it? And then that's what, and then I was really laughing though. So I was worried, what if I don't laugh at the end of it? And then that's what... And then I was really laughing, though. But I was thinking, oh, shit. But then when he got to it... You are borderline... Do that again, just the end part. It's really...

The dog's... Dog gun's insane. Because you feel bad for the dog. You really do. That's why, Todd. Todd got to the bottom of why that's interesting. He feels bad for the dog. You feel bad for the dog.

You feel so bad for the dog. Do it. Go do it again. Without the perspective. Watch. You'll laugh that hard. Watch, you'll laugh that hard. The first day of work.

Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Oh, guys. I do love movies.

I love movies. I love movies. Welcome to I Love Movies Beginning to end In a movie theater Todd beginning to end In a movie theater Into the microphone That's the question

It wasn't Into the Wild right You watched that on DVD God I don't know What do you do when there's a movie on a plane I really don't know What do you do When there's a movie On a plane I really don't know

I'm trying to think You just like Find other things to do And they show a movie Like why would you Skip 27 dresses What is he grabbing my mic There was something

Sticking out of your mic Oh yeah right This is ridiculous sticking out of your mouth. Oh, yeah, right. This is ridiculous. I'm glad there's not a comment section on this. I know. The last movie I sat through... I don't want to read, like,

oh, you guys are so stupid when you're high. That was dumb. I know. That's what I always get nervous about. Yeah. No, I'm serious.

I'm serious. I've been saying, all right, Todd's high. All right, enough already. No, people do comments like that. When I was making Super High Me, there was a couple episodes of I Love Movies where I got really high because I was making the movie. People were like, it's better when you're not high. Really?

Tell them you think they're better high. All right. That's what I'll tell them. I swear to God I was testing out. Thank God we all have a response when people complain about this episode. We're all ready. How much is this? Say, I don't like it when you're not high.

Me? No, that's my response. I memorized it already. I'm just trying it out. All right, I'm sorry. Right? I got it right, right? I don't like you when you're not high.

That's what I say to somebody when they write to me. You're really trying. Yeah, I'm trying to get it right. Practicing. Yeah. No, you don't like them when you're not high. See, I knew I was doing something wrong. Yeah. That's how it goes. This is a bad game of telephone. How long has this been? I'm going to hang up.

I will not accept the charges. I feel bad. Doug, what's your... More bars and more towns. Doug, the Indiana Jones... That's my platform when I run for president. More bars and more towns? Yeah, because it means, you know,

better cell phone reception and alcohol. And to hard-working white people. Wouldn't we all be happy if we could just have alcohol and good phone reception? I just thought of something. Okay. Here's something somebody would say leaving the show

that didn't get your sense of humor. Okay. This is what their opinion was. If they didn't get you. This is someone on the way out. You overhear him going, well, he certainly didn't talk about movies with any intelligence.

No, that's... I could, though, Todd. Todd, if you actually spit out the name of a movie that you sat through from the beginning to end... I'm not making fun of you. Then we would have a... See, you thought I was making fun of you. I'm not.

That's the fake lady. Are you serious? Oh, that made-up lady said that. You think I'm talking through these people that I've created? You're like... You know, here's my impersonation of this old lady. Why don't you act

more organized? Like I'm tricking you. You're like the ventriloquist with the dummy, like, shut up, you cunt. Hey, dummy, why'd you say that?

Why did this thing I have no control over just say that? I'd like to carry around something all day that's calling people that. You'd think he'd put it down after a while.

He'd just constantly apologized. Loyalty is important, especially in the comedy. It's true. Name a movie that you saw recently. I wanted to ask you. Have you seen Indiana Jones? I heard people don't like it. Oh, you did see it. But here's why I wasn't going to say anything.

I really can't ever follow a movie. This is not even fair because I couldn't follow it, but I didn't see any of the other movies. So someone said that would be hard for anybody. Oh, there was a lot of twists and turns in Indiana Jones and the title, I can't remember. There were a lot of twists and turns in it, though. Like, oh, that guy's a double agent.

No, he's not. Oh, yes he is. What? People would just turn to each other and go, are you a double agent? Yeah. Okay. Now I'm not. You're not? Okay. So fucking stupid. So it was bad, you're saying?

That aspect of it. I think Harrison Ford is not too old to play Indiana Jones. I think George Lucas is too old to write the story of an Indiana Jones movie. You're tapping into some of that Lucas anger. I mean, I know there's fantasy elements in all of the movies, but this one was extra stupid. People have really turned on Lucas. Enough people. Oh, no?

No. Because they keep giving him movies? Come join me in my quest to turn on him. He's rich and he's happy. He thinks he's done wonderful things. You think being rich makes you equivalent? It totally equivalents. To happiness? I can tell you. I'm right here.

I can tell you it does not. I am fucking filthy rich. And I am barely happier than I was before alright so this has been a fantastic discussion about movies and how much you love them I like totally

I totally wrecked my voice with that dumb dog bit it was worth it matter of fact if I had a lot of money, I would offer you... If I said for a hundred bucks, would you come by my house and do it?

Obviously, you wouldn't. But if I said a thousand bucks... I'd come by your house for no money. And do that bit? Yeah, but for a hundred bucks, I'll come do that bit in your house. Not if you're not... You just said you'd do it for free.

Why would I pay you now? He's got a point! He's got a point! He does. Yeah, he a point. He's got a point. Yeah, he did say. So anyway. I don't even know the guy. So everybody listen to Comedy and Everything Else is the name of their Todd and Jimmy's podcast. So listen to that if you have some time on your hands.

And at the end of every podcast that I do, these guys haven't done it before, I play a game called Leonard Maltin that Brian Poussain and I... We're listeners. Some more facial humor. Brian Poussain and I came up with this game, and basically as you read the cast of a motion picture,

you read the names from the bottom to the top. And then when the person thinks they know what movie it is based on all the obscure supporting actors, and they can prove what a huge nerd they are and guess the name of the movie. And it's a lot of fun. There's no right or wrong answers. I would never, ever, ever get that right. Well, you don't know yet. Let's see.

Well, we don't know. Let's do it. I'll do a very famous movie. What if he does Super Troopers? I'll do a very Well, you don't know yet. Let's see. Well, we don't know. Let's do it. I'll do a very famous movie. What if he does Super Troopers? I'll do a very... I don't know the name. Okay, let's do Super Troopers and see how you do. I'll list the cast of Super Troopers.

Let's see how you do. When you think you know what it is, stop me and say Super Troopers. That's a great idea. That'd be a fun game, right? But don't look. Don't look. What do you mean you wouldn't know? But don't look.

I don't know any of the... I'm telling you, the movie is Super Troopers. Don't look. The movie is... The answer is Super Troopers. But don't look What do you mean you wouldn't know I'm telling you the movie is Super Troopers Don't look The answer is Super Troopers Stop me when you know Stop me when you know the answer Todd when you know the answer Is Super Troopers

Say stop and then say Super Troopers Okay now we got it Okay wow That's how long it took him to get that Took a little while for Todd to get and then say Super Troopers. Okay, now we got it. Okay, wow. That's how long it took him to get that. Took a little while for Todd to get. That was amazing. It's like it's a game show, right? Yes.

That's fantastic. All right, ready? Go ahead. You know what? I don't care if people don't like this one. There was some funny shit. You know what? Happened.

Okay, here we go. Sometimes we don't like what they do. We don't complain if we see them. If there was a way we could see what they did. I'm sure we wouldn't like a lot of things people do. I don't like you when you're not high. That's what I'm going to tell people. Well, I taught you that.

Yeah. Look at you trying to take credit. Emmy Rossum is in this movie. Who? See, that's how it works. Gone with the wind. Say it again. A lot of these names you're not going to know.

Say it again. Oh, you mean say it again. I couldn't hear it. Oh, I thought you meant... I thought you were going to be funny and say who after every name. No. Just to bust my balls. Emmy Rossum.

And that was the name you said first? I didn't just go ahead and skip it after you made it very clear that you still wanted to hear it. Okay. Okay, I'd like... Can I make a guess? You have a guess already? Wait, you two were in cahoots. We're not in cahoots.

Talk into the microphone, Todd. You two were in cahoots. No, we're not in cahoots. All right, let's see just the way this rolls out. I'm going to say Super Troopers. It's a bad play. Super Troopers? No, no.

What's Super Troopers? I didn't go ahead and then do Super Troopers. Just to play that joke on Todd, because there's no way he would ever guess it. I knew you wouldn't do it on purpose, but I thought maybe accidentally you screwed up and still did it. I thought there was a chance. Emmy Rossum wasn't... Everyone knows Emmy Rossum isn't in Super Troopers. Here's the way I would look at him in a sitcom after he said what he just said.

Remember what he said? We got four minutes. You didn't say it right. To save the world. Okay, so Thomas Greer is in this thing. Oh, Ocean's Eleven. Kevin Chapman. Ocean's Eleven.

Soylent Green. Oh, Soylent Green. Laura Linney. Sunset Boulevard. Sunset Boulevard. Gay Harden. Oh, it was a Jay Cassavetes. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Marsha Gay Harden. Oh, it was a gay. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. Marsha Gay Harden. Oh. It's on two lines. It's on two lines. I thought it was. Lawrence Fish. Burn? Yes, that's the one.

That's also on two lines. Does anybody know? Kevin Bacon. Kevin Bacon. People know Kevin Bacon. Who are you doing it for? Six Degrees. You guys, you got to guess it.

Well, they did. No, they haven't said it out loud. Was it the one where he was in? Tim Robbins. Once they know it. Tim Robbins. Come on. This was the player.

He makes a movie a year. That's it. The player. I got it. Very good, Jimmy. It's not the fucking player. No one really is impressed because they all knew it five people ago. Is that why?

You guys already knew that? Kevin Bacon wasn't in the player. I told you. You look stupid. Laura Linney wasn't in the player. Emmy Rossum wasn't in the player. I told you, he looks stupid. Laura Linney wasn't in the player. Emmy Rossum wasn't in the player. Well, then what is this movie? Tim Robbins, he was in the player, but

such a stretch from him as an actor, it was like he wasn't. But I did get it right. What if somebody came in late and they didn't know we were playing a game and they just turned to their friend and they go, why doesn't he fucking tell them? I don't know. The movie is called

Mystic River. Mystic River. They knew it. Oh, and that's why they weren't applauding because they knew I got it wrong. But then some people

still applauded because they didn't want me to feel bad. Some people were making fun of you. Some probably thought you did get it right. There's probably a few.

I mean, it's not, you know. Can we poll them to find out why they applauded? Because that's going to bug me now. Can we poll them about it? How many people applauded because they wanted me to feel not bad?

Who did it so Jimmy wouldn't feel bad? How many people thought I actually got it right? Oh, see. How many... Clap if you didn't clap. Yeah.

That's the most important demo. That's the most important one. Is that some people just didn't clap because you did get't clap. Yeah. That's the most important demo. That's the most important one. Is that some people just didn't clap because you did get it wrong. Yes. But some people clap. Or their energy has been so sapped, they're saving it for death ray, and they just were like, let's just clap. Maybe they'll say goodnight.

Just get off. Oh, like, yeah. If we applaud for something, that leads to the goodnight. I've been tricked in that in my show. Are you going over? Going over what? No, we're still in good shape. We are?

Yeah. Do you have a final thought or something? Matter of fact, I do, Jimmy. You know all this? No. Some plan that obviously I've been waiting to say to you. Yeah, you've been waiting all night to call me Jimmy. Can't wait to call him Jimmy.

Doug. Let's do one more movie. We don't have time for one more movie. You guys are too good at it. Defending your life. Platoon. I just want to do that. Here, here, here. I got an idea. Plug your ears and make a lot of noise, Todd. You would know. I should have done this the noise, Todd. He would know.

I should have done this the other way around. I fucked up. I know he's actually seeing. What are they? Super. You know the two. Oh, this is ridiculous. Doug, may I say this is fuckdiculous.

Jimmy's in love with the word I made up. Doug made up a word is fuckdiculous? Jimmy's in love with the word I made up. Doug made up a word, fuckdiculous. I made up the word fuckdiculous. I can't stop saying it. It was my response to ginormous. My rebuttal to ginormous is fuckdiculous. And Jimmy's in love with it. And so Jimmy thinks that he can just say it

in his act, he can say, oh President Bush isn't he fuckdiculous and then everybody laughs because it's a funny word and Jimmy's like, oh that's not really stealing he only did it twice yeah, he only did it two times before he told me before we ran into each other

I'm your dumb friend, you ready? oh and at that corporate, you did do it at the policeman show oh he did the police show. Oh, he did the policeman show too. You've been doing it a lot. Yeah. Thanks, Jimmy. Thanks, Todd.

Thank you, Doug. That was an amazing half hour or 28 minutes give or take a minute to be live. No, that's his joke. Thanks to the audience. Thanks to UCB Theater.

And as always, Willem Dafoe is a shithead. And by the way, that is his joke. Now it's time for Doug to watch another As always, Willem Dafoe is a shithead. And by the way, that is his joke.
