Doug Benson: 'Doug Loves Movies' Podcast

In 2006, Benson began hosting a weekly comedy podcast titled Doug Loves Movies (initially called I Love Movies), which is recorded in front of a live audience in Los Angeles and at clubs all over the U.S. and even in other countries and at sea. The show is archived on iTunes for fans to listen to for free. (There's an occasional premium episode sold for just $2). Benson and guests talk about movies and then play movie related games.
