Doug hates candy wrappers screaming maybe sticky seeds with 50 acid pop or kernels in his teeth.

There's still not one that he won't see because Doug loves movies.

Hey, hey, hey, everybody.

My name is Doug and I love movies.

This is Doug Loves Movies, recording on Wednesday, afternoon, March 4th, 2026.

And my guests today are, well, the one less than I thought they were going to be.

One of my guests for reasons I don't know about,

and therefore I also won't say who it was,

is completely ghosted the program this afternoon for I'm sure good reasons.

But that means we have two guests today,

but they are, in fact, an old bee and a newbie.

So that is fun.

They are Austin Kalandi and Elri Smith.

Hello.

Hi.

Let's meet them individually, alphabetically, by first name.

He is making his first appearances on the show, and during the pre-show discussion, I didn't even ask.

I apologize for that.
