Our Editor's Take

What do Mark Walhberg and Adam Devine have in common besides being actors? They both have been guests on the hilarious Doug Loves Movies podcast. Fans of actor and comedian Doug Benson find a listen in this funny show with a stellar guest list.

Yes, there are plenty of movie analyses and trivia on Doug Loves Movies. But conversations deviate from movies into unforced banter. While full-on comedy may not be the show's original intent, it offers phenomenal comedic entertainment. It's filled with one-liners, improvisations, and beautiful chaos. While the movie genres explored vary, the outcome is always the same—a laughfest.

Doug's impressive career spans movies, documentaries, TV, and stand-up comedy. He's a Comedy Central veteran, appearing in many shows on the channel. These include Best Week Ever and Comedy Central Presents. In 2007, he participated in the fifth season of Last Comic Standing. Other shows include The Benson Interruption and Super High Me. Matt Belknap and Ryan McManemin are producers of Doug Loves Movies.

From the podcast's first episode, guests participate in a movie trivia segment. The first game in the podcast's history is The Leonard Maltin Game. Some of the game elements have changed, but later versions keep most of the original format. Doing Lines With Mark, for example, deviates from the original game. Wahlberg's character, Daniel Van Kirk, quotes a movie line in the game segment. Contestants then try to figure out the movie the quote is from. The results are hilarious, informative, and all-around entertaining.

Doug Loves Movies guests and participants include comedians, actors, directors, showrunners, and more. Actors and comedians like Zach Galifianakis, Paget Brewster, and Amy Miller have all been guests on the podcast. Others are Jimmy Pardo, Anna Roisman, Mark Ellis, Doug Mellard, and David Gborie. Episodes air several times a week and run about an hour long.
