Figures. It has been 10 years since the Siskel and Ebert Tribute.
My favorite review from Siskel and Ebert was their review on Godzilla:
Ebert: What did you think of Mayor Ebert and his side kick Gene?
Siskel: I thought it was petty.
Ebert: I guess the only good thing about this movie is that Godzilla didn’t step on us.
Siskel: But Roger I fully expected that happen and I think the audience was waiting for that to happen.
Ebert: Maybe the movie would’ve been better if they had showed that.
Siskel: Exactly. There are missing scenes.
Lol 😂
Can you look at Godzilla Planet of the Monsters????????
Review Venom (2018)
“I hated this movie! Hated hated hated hated hated this movie! Hated it! Hated every simpering, stupid, vacant, audience insulting moment of it” -Roger Ebert
Nostalgia Critic: You're too fucking nice!"
The way he said that line, it sounded a kid. It's absolutely hilarious
Mama Mia (and it's sequel)
Madea movies
Movies starring Adam Sandler, Larry the Cable Guy, or Kevin James
Inception
Works for all those movies
If Siskel and Ebert were still alive, they would've committed suicide after sitting through Nativity Rocks!
Trust me. It's that abominable.
@@TheAdam1995 Or one of them would like it. Just to troll you.
One of my personal favorites was when Ebert was talking about The Brown Bunny; "I had a colonoscopy once, and they let me watch it on TV. It was more entertaining than The Brown Bunny." When the movie’s director responded by mocking Ebert’s weight, Ebert said, “It is true that I am fat, but one day I will be thin, and he will still be the director of The Brown Bunny."
Bittersweet in hindsight: He did end up thin, but only because he got cancer. 😕
@@Delightfully_Bitchy What I found amazing was that when he lost his voice he somehow became even MORE prolific in his writings and work! Amazing man.
Thats a takeoff on a winston chuchill quote, , Winston is drunk at a party and a woman says " you mr. Churchill are drunk ". He replies " true madam but you're ugly and in the mornin i. Shall be sober".
Right out of Shakespeare “do thou amend thy face, and I’ll amend my life” (from memory Dash apologies to WS
I'm sure that as we speak, Siskel and Ebert are still arguing in heaven.
They might be reviewing the latest movies up in heaven.
Probably about Cop and a Half
Or home alone 3
@@theangrycheesehead I hope they never watched the other two.
Thats true, but then again they could be bashing the emoji movien, Dark Phoenix or Norm of the North
"I admire what he did and I hate it."
We've found the original "Thanks, I hate it."
"Home Alone 3 is good because it's less violent"
That's... that's not the point of the franchise, Roger
FourthDerivative Yeah, the first two weren’t works of art by any means, but at least they knew what they wanted to do. Home Alone 3 was just horrible.
Also Alex is frequently labelled as the most sadistic of the Home Alone kids so I have no idea for Roger could think it was less violent
@@HugoSoup57 Nah, Home alone 3 is the best one in the franchise, you can't tell me otherwise.
Liam Patrick Nope, Home Alone 3 was a disgrace to the franchise. Third movie, what third movie?
@@HugoSoup57 There is no Third, Fourth or Fifth Home Alone. Nothing exists after 2.
"I better go back and find out who attended that sneak preview I saw. All those children are in dear jeopardy of becoming... ROGER EBERT!"
Man, Siskel had a sharp wit.
He sure did. He really got some zingers in.
And also doug walker.
One of the best lines ever: Gene Siskel: Farrah Fawcett gave the performance of her life in her poster...
Oh, I am not surprised to hear that from Gene Siskel. What a jerk. For the kind of material it was, effervescent Farrah was perfection as Jill Munroe on "Charlie's Angels". But Siskel was a snob.
@Daniel Richardson anybody can be a critic. And I think GS did not understand Farrah's charm.
Another good one I've always remembered about Star Trek: First Contact.
Roger: The Borg Queen is like no version of beauty I've ever heard, but encourages me to keep an open mind.

"He outta be ashamed of himself"
"Boy...you're upset. AND YOU KNOW I AM TOO!!"
My friend and I quote this weekly.
Thank you Critic! Some patterns on At The Movies over the years:
1 - Siskel had the hots for Kathleen Turner
2 - Siskel & Ebert thought first Burt Reynolds, then Dan Aykroyd were talented actors who became overrated due to the projects/paychecks they took
3 - Both thought the most overused trope in films was the bar room brawl
Siskel probably loves Serial Mom
@@roccohorror7022 He gave Serial Mom thumbs down
There was also their mutual distaste for slasher flicks.
The only time in the history of their show where one of them had anything nice to say about one was when roger gave Wes Craven's New Nightmare an enthusiastic thumbs up because he liked the fresh take on the genre and how it told a story within a story, the look on gene's face was fucking priceless when the camrea cut to him while roger was giving his review.
You could tell he was thinking somethign along the lines of: "what drugs are you on and where can I get some".
I honestly think the most overused trope is the news reporter being used as a lazy form of getting a bunch of exposition across. But to each their own :)
Siskel really had the hots for Nastassja Kinski.
Siskel and Ebert were the best critic duo, they don’t just review movies, they’re like the dynamic duo of comedians!
i have to be honest, if it weren't for Nostalgia critic, i wouldn't even know them
"They practically BREATHED movies."
@@ianr.navahuber2195 I've been watching the since the early 80s when they had a program on public television called "Sneak Previews"
@@3pdepravity79 That's not criticism. That's just providing their personal opinion on movies. Criticism should be based on established theories and scholarship. And Matt R is correct, they were just comedians.
You’ve never watched a Double Toasted review then have you?
A movie so bad it even made Siskel and Ebert consider quitting?
Woo boy Critic, you realize you're going to be spammed with requests to review She's Out Of Control now, right?
I second this!
but he "quit" after Scooby Doo.

When they were on PBS in the early 80's, the no commercial- break format really allowed them to get into lengthy discussions/arguments. Thanks for posting this!
Surprisingly Siskel died before I knew who they were. But in seeing old reviews, I became a fan. I watched Ebert with Dick Roper after high school and really enjoyed them even tho I didn't know what it was about. Ill always love them.
I started watching Siskel and Ebert when their show started on PBS in 1978. They stayed with PBS thru 1982. They had a different show that started before 1978, but I've only seen those episodes on UA-cam. They were together about 22 years,

Leave it to those two to actually want to see their fictionalized parodies get stomped by a monster.
Gene was taken too soon, and Poor Roger had to battle cancer which sadly lost his voice. Every time, I watch a new release, I always imagine what Gene and Roger would have thought of it. Because of them, I love film as an art form, it made me see it in a new and fun way. And I hope to maybe pass that love to my future children. Gene and Roger will never truly be gone, and their legacy will always live on. Thank you Gene, and Roger. And I’ll see you at the movies.
Gene died of cancer as well brain cancer
I feel the same...watching their show every weekend raised me to be the rabid cinephile I am today
I agree

What about The Brown Bunny, where Roger said “I once had a colonoscopy and they let me watch it afterwards. That was more entertaining than the Brown Bunny.”
I think that one was after Gene died
Would you believe that after Roger Ebert reviewed this movie, the writer/director of the film put a curse on Ebert's bowels (I am not joking), and then went into the editing room and edited out almost 30 minutes of it. Ebert reviewed the film again, and to his own astonishment, found it was a much better picture. He still didn't recommend it, but said the severe editing improved the film considerably.
@@LucyLioness100 Yes, that was from 2003 when he said that.
@@maskedmarvyl4774 No, he did recommend it when it finally came out in the fall of 2004. He gave it three stars.
I wonder how big the "Brown Bunnies" were, that they found in his Colon?!? At any rate, I sure hope that Roger was able to "Evacuate" them, every time he went to the Bathroom!
(P. S.-Don't forget the Toilet Paper, Roger!)!!! 💩💩💩😬😳😝😀
Siskel and Ebert was an unintentional buddy comedy. Ebert and Roeper had their moments as well.
Man, if only Ebert was still around to see what Bill Cosby got himself into recently. And he thought he was ashamed of him before...
Considering how low Cosby had to sink in order to star in Leonard Part 6, I doubt Ebert would be surprised.
@@foxymetroid Even starring in such a bad movie can never compare to all the crap Cosby pulled either during or prior to that.
@Grailsarvas ;Yeah- the allocations were getting kinda shifty. Some of them went back as far as the 70's. You tell me you know some sort of illegal and harmful activity going on that one person is committing in society and don't say a word for over four or five decades- knowing this person is still doing these harmful things out there to other people. And all these victims through out the time period have all decided it wasn't in their best interest to report such crimes to the legal authority's.(at the appropriate time it was happening) This makes me question quite a few things in the accusatory line up.🤔I

"I thought that kid was generic mop top." - Siskel. Cracks me up every time.
I can totally imagine, if there's an afterlife, Siskel greeting Ebert in 2013 and almost immediately segueing into their old feud over Cop 1/2
Personally I admire how much they cared about kids' movies. I love it because kid movies can be amazing for all audiences. You can make stupid dumb fun, but you can make stuff like Inside Out, Zootopia, the Avatar series finale (it was two hours when it premiered so it counts), The Land Before Time, the newer Spongebob movie. They can be just as good as films for more mature audiences if not better, and I think that they should be.
I agree 100% and I'll through Paddington 1 and 2 in that list. These films are some the most joyous films I've ever seen and haven't met a single person who's said they didn't like them. However it saddens me that so many people I tell who haven't seen them to watch them turn up their noses to them simply because it just looks like a dumb kids movie to them.
@@jonathantefft2902 that's what I hate about the people who run the Oscars. They look down on animation, regarding it as just for kids even though there are plenty of animated films that are more mature than adult films
@@elliottknifton8902 It's worse when what is considered adult animation is nothing, but raunchy comedy cursing. Adult animation rarely takes itself seriously in the West
@@lehahiah81 agreed. Adult animation has a lot of untapped potential. Children's animation has a variety of genres but the only adult cartoon I can think of that's not comedy is the new series of Samurai Jack.
You forgot to mention Song of the South!!!
Don't forget Ebert liked Space Jam
And hated John Carpenter's The Thing and many others now universally praised movies.
Blade Runner
A man of culture...and thicc bunny women.
Because it had Lola. Hot bunny girls are top tier. He was a true epic gamer.
It's funny how it is so hated in english. Many love it in Latin America due to its dubbing making the delivery and acting of the characters waaaaaaaaay better than it deserved to be. I still love it after all these years.
You forgot to mention that the Benji: The Hunted review was the same day they split the other way on Full Metal Jacket (Siskel thumbs up, Ebert thumbs down). That added even more hilarity to the review because then Siskel gets on Ebert for giving Benji a thumbs up but not Full Metal Jacket.
Pocketmobsters it’s odd, I something about Ebert I always found more likable but I tended to agree with Siskel more. Full Metal Jacket was an amazing film.
FMJ is gold!!!
If anyone could ever find their review of “The Money Pit” it was the most explosive episode ever.
They were YELLING at each other. I had it on VHS for about a week when it first aired and I showed it to everyone. Sadly, like my VHS, most episodes were not saved by the studio or the production company that made their show.
I did find their review articles, and they both didn't like the movie
Surprised that he didn't mention how Ebert's love for Benji The Hunted was worked in as an in joke for their cameo in The Critic.
I'm also surprised that their Black Sheep review wasn't an honorable mention. Especially since it was one of the films that made Siskel want to walk out the theatre, and Ebert responding with "I envy you."
“Now of course critics like my self never lose my temper”

Considering that I read Ebert's reviews of the first two Home Alones and remember how much he hated them, I'm kind of with Siskel on this.
They never let the Cop and a Half thing go. After Siskel died, Ebert wrote about when they disagreed. "I liked Cop and A Half and he never understood why."
Many like Ebert's "I hated hated hated hated this movie" about North but the one that gets me is Siskel's "No, Boredom! Boredom with Benji Running!"
One of my favorite Ebert reviews was one of The Lonely Guy with Steve Martin. I never heard of it but he hated it. But Ebert was so descriptive about the rainy day and the condemned theater that he saw it in. He said, "It's the kind of movie that you would see on a day like that." He hated the film but one line he said in the review was "Hey I was going to the movies." It showed that he could watch the worst movies, but he loved the experience of going to the movies. He loved his job that much. Like me I could read the worst books to review but I love doing it because I love reading that much. It also shows that sometimes outside forces project our opinions on a work and despite evidence to the contrary, we critics and reviewers are only human.
I definitely think their review's should be released on DVD as collections going by decade or in some other way. Actually, I'm not sure why 'Criterion Collection' hasn't tried to include "Siskel and Ebert" reviews with their DVD releases. They did for "Hoop Dreams" but that's it! More "Siskel and Ebert" please!
We used to watch there clips in my dorm room in college. Im glad that they are being released. These still good movie memories.
Maybe because of the movie clips shown and that they are from many different companies so there might be a rights issue. When they put Beavis and Butthead on DVD they couldn’t include all the music videos because of a rights issue as MTV didn’t own the music videos, which is a shame as that part was extremely funny!
@@MrDruism
The rights to the show changed hands a few times over its run and who knows what happened to the original broadcast masters, that's probably the reason why its not on dvd and most likely never will be.
The DVD from MGM Home Video of Blue Velvet has their review of that movie on the special features (which I bet was entertaining, considering how stark their opinions of it were)
MGM also included their review of Blue Velvet on the DVD. And Miramax put their episode ‘The Tarantino Generation’ on the special features for Pulp Fiction
Does anyone else wonder how Siskel and Ebert would react to the films of today if they we're alive ?
Good chance that if they were there would be some kind of controversy where they review a film of either colored people or a female empowerment movie and create a huge backlash against them and they would lose their show, their jobs as reviewers and be driven into obscurity.
Darth234Ravenous They had WAY too much of a following for that, that’s plain absurd.
Sharknado series, Poltergeist remake, the forgotten Nutcracker 2017(?) movie, Jaws 3D, etc
@@DrGandW if they could have reviewed the Ghostbusters remake, they would have gotten a firestorm, no matter how they rated it.
@@Darth234Ravenous
If I'm gonna be honest, one of them was gonna like it, and it would've made for some good TV.
I recommend checking out the documentary on Roger Ebert titled "Life Itself" there's a touching interview where Gene Siskel's widow says she felt like a part of Gene Siskel was still alive because of Roger Ebert before he sadly passed away also
*Shame* on the Academy for snubbing Life Itself in Best Documentary-Feature. *Shame* on them. *>_
Love that movie.
Oh lord, I thought for a second you were talking about the 2018 movie, and my mouth dropped open.
I also suggest reading the book by the same name.
Kind of beautiful how the list went full circle and they both came together to hate #1. lol The quintessential brother relationship, which was beautiful too. Love you, Roger and Gene.
Their best review is: Dune. Almost the entire review, I was rolling in laughter.
They criticise Dune, an epic sci-fi space opera which still has a cult following today, but give their approval of Starman, a cheap fish out of water movie about Jeff Bridges playing an alien with mediocre superpowers who abducts a woman and has to learn our 'strange human customs'. I have neither seen nor ever heard anyone talk about that movie, ever.

I knew #1 as soon as I saw the video's title.
Ebert's hatred for North is the stuff of legends.
I liked it when I was a kid lol
His hatred of it is one of the funniest moments ever. A legendary rant
Siskel apparently forgot the Roger Rabbit shorts and the numerous Tom & Jerry cartoons that involve babies oblivious to the peril around them.
Is that a fetish or something?
Don't forget Popeye in the episodes with Sweetpea. That cartoon may have started the whole thing about babies in construction sites.
I mean mr magoo too lol. Except hes an old man, not a baby.
"it does astound me..are you ok??" 😂😂😂
Roger Ebert liked Cop and a Half and hated Mrs. Doubtfire... Let that sink in.
You now gave me a reason to hate Roger. I never thought he was nice but he was awesome and now I hate him. That's not a slam at you.
Wow, hated Mrs. Doubtfire? Then again, he didn't like the first Spiderman movie, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised.
I tried to watch Mrs Doubtfire recently and had to turn it off almost immediately. Robin Williams is now unbearable because he's constantly doing different voices like some kind of disturbed schizo. He makes you go..."yeah, that's the kind of guy who would hang himself"😬😬

Good band name

Oh thank goodness, it's the clips that are poor quality. I was worried there was something wrong with my laptop. At one point it looked like Ebert was melting into the matrix.
You was not the only one, I was thinking my phone was set to display a low rez video so I check the resolution and it was set to 720p (max what my phone can do).
I thought I was tripping myself.
I thought I was on Brain Candy!
They both gave Speed 2: Cruise Control "two thumbs up." I have never been able to figure that one out. That movie was awful.
McIntosh1581 They’re two of the three critics that gave the movie a positive review on Rotten Tomatoes. It has a 4% critic approval rating, should be 0%.
@@HugoSoup57 - I'm also shocked that the Nostalgia Critic hasn't done a review/rant on Speed 2 yet. I figured a movie that awful would be at the top of his list. 2 hours of my life that I'll never get back.
@@McIntosh1581 I sent an email requesting Nostalgia Critic review Speed 2. I know he gets so many requests but that is a long overdue review for him.
Roger brought that up endlessly - I'm the critic who liked Speed 2. He said it's summer, I don't want to think, I want a stupid action film, acknowledging it's bad but in a entertaining way.
Their fight on Benji the Hunted was partially fueled by their heated disagreement on Full Metal Jacket earlier that same episode.
Wolfman Brandon Did one of them not like Full Metal Jacket? I thought it was an amazing movie.
Michael DeBellis Ebert only gave it two stars
Siskel "got" the film while Ebert hated it
But to be fair, Ebert has always thought Stanley Kubrick was slightly overrated as a filmaker (He HATED A Clockwork Orange as well)
@@myronsanders4563 A Clockwork Orange is one of those weird movies where after I saw it I though "that was a great movie but I never want to see it again". I think Kubrick was one of the truly great directors though. For Dr. Strangelove alone. You have probably heard the story about how the USAF came to see him because he got the inside of the B-52 designed so well even though no one working on the film had actually seen it. What is even more interesting is something I learned recently when I read Daniel Ellsberg's fascinating book: The Doomsday Machine: Confessions of a Nuclear War planner. It turns out there absolutely WAS a "Plan R" as shown in the movie, where the local commanders assumed that Washington had been wiped out and had autonomy to use nuclear weapons at their own discretion. In fact local commanders could authorize nuclear weapons without orders from their superiors in the early days of the cold war in many more scenarios and far more easily than shown in the movie. I highly recommend Ellsberg's book.

Two of the greatest critics of all time. RIP to both of them.
Been a long time since NC did a top 11.

You got a great taste in music.
Almost four months. Looking forward to him doing more.

Matthew Cool it’s only been since October
My favorite Siskel and Ebert moment is when Gene chastises Roger for giving a thumbs up to Benji the Hunted but not Full Metal Jacket
"I love when the fat guy and the bald guy argue."
Siskel had hair back in the day until late 90s.
I loved how clear it was that they didn’t particularly like each other very much and they’d often have a clash of opinions BUT they were so classy, professional and passionate about their work, they just simply bounced off each other at the same time. And it made for fabulous viewing. Seriously, how many other people would work with someone they didn’t get along with? Despite that, I think there was an underlying mutual respect for one another. That’s the sign of a true professional.
I disagree when you’d say they didn’t particularly like each other. They were like brothers, they fought like cats and dogs, but at the end of the day they loved each other like family after nearly 25 years of doing there show
@@finkaiser3994 Nah, in the beginning they really didn't like each other. I watched them when they started on PBS. Those first couple of seasons were rough, but they did eventually grow to not only respect, but I think also love each other. Ebert was never quite as boisterous after Siskel died.
They really didn’t like each other when the show started and weren’t particularly professional about it. They did grow to care about each other deeply although the constant arguments continued.
They did grow to like each other over time.
Roger was a pallbearer at Gene’s funeral.
You're closing statement on Siskel and Ebert is exactly how I see Nostalgia Critic. Watching your reviews all these years pretty much shaped how I would look at film and how I would express my opinions on most every form of art. Seriously thank you for all the years of entertainment and insight on film.

You know what’s funny? Earlier today, I watched the “Tribute to Siskel and Ebert” & “A Farewell to Roger Ebert” episodes. Crazy.
Man, I'll be honest, I forgot how much these guys were part of my childhood. Thanks for the hilarious retrospective.
They also presented themselves as real people and not just critics
I learned of Siskel and Ebert through you. And I love them. Thank you, Doug.
They had such passionate fun chemistry. I grew up watching them in the 80s and 90s. They never got stale or lost that fun quality. I didnt always agree with thier opinions but it was fun to watch them review a movie.
watch cartoons much?
Review ideas
1. Murr's movie "Damned" from Impractical Jokers
2. Beverly Hills Chihuahua
3.Turner and Hooch (I like it)
What about Thunderbirds 2004???
Definitely the first one
@@harryhepworth1124 Never seen it
@@diggerfan9319 I'd watch that
Id say dumb and dumber
I grew up watching them. I knew I loved movies (mostly thanks to Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and then '89 Batman) and so I loved hearing them talk about movies.
Thanks for shining a light on this classic show!
Idk how i missed this. But this is the classic Nostalgia Critic i like
Came back to watch again. I do enjoy videos like this, to me it's where he really shines, even though he's less animated than usual.
"Oh, I love it when the bald guy argues with the fat guy!"-Homer Simpson watching "Siskel and Ebert".
Thank you Mr. Critic for introducing us to these two men. And for treating them with so much respect. I can see they were a big influence to you, to help you become the amazing critic you are today! :D
"Roger, you didn't just miss the boat here....You Missed The Harbor." LOL! Diiiiiisssss.
7:22 Siskel: Our next movie is Frozen....
Me: What?
Siskel: ....Assets.
Me: Oh.
klimmr3021 Wonder how they would have taken "Frozen"...at least, one of them would've gotten sick of the hype.
@@jenneacoleman-cubero2365 They generally saw the movies before audiences did. Hence, no hype preceding their reviews.
@@jenneacoleman-cubero2365
Yea the hype of the movie sure make some people dislike it but it is a geniue good movie.
I watch it after I hear all about the hype and I was thinking it would not live up at all but I was suprised how nice it was.
R.I.P. Siskel and Ebert
Both of you will be missed. 😢
And Ebert, truly wished grizzly deaths on the filmmakers of "The Final Chapter".
@Chopsy The Homicidal Maniac why wont Ebert?
@Chopsy The Homicidal Maniac you do realize there are things called opinións
Thanks to their show, they will never be forgotten
“Critics like myself never lose my temper”
*reveals bat credit card*
“BAT CREDIT CARD!?!”
*the world explodes*
Actually Doug just goes on a killing spree. But if you mention Christmas, that’s Armageddon
Sometimes I like to wonder what Siskel and Ebert think about The Emoji Movie or Norm of the North.
If their review of North isnt on this list, it aint a valid list.
Numero uno.
I was thinking the same thing.
Yep that was one of my favorites
Saw north when i was 6 and thought it was great saw it again when i was 15 and all i could think while watching was what where they thinking?
well howdy, Norrrth
"I never lose my temper."
**ahem**
Troll in central park
I rest my case
WardenDarkwingArtist and oh so many others 😆
"I never lose my temper"
*plays pearl harbor*
"YOU SON OF A BIIIIIIIIIIITCH!!!!!"
Bat Credit Card
Tom and Jerry the movie.
Battlefield earth
I sorely miss these film critics so much...a 14-year gap between Siskel's death and Ebert's death...coincidentally, cancer took both of their lives! May they rest in peace...they're "two thumbs up" from way up in Heaven!
I just found out that Jussie Smollet was in North.
Are you serious?
Wow just looked at the cast. Honestly it makes sense. That movie spawned all sorts of horrors.
Yes he was his friend. Also Scarlett Johansson played the daughter in the WASPy family that he stays with before going back to his original parents.
10:02 Jesus, that glitch is terrifying! 10:18 That's even worse!
klimmr3021 what happened to your face?!
I found yesterday via Netflix that there's a Cats & Dogs sequel called Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore. For the love of Santa Christ, do a review on that.
Wait, what? I've been wanting to watch that for years. Thanks for the information. I'll check it out.
That’s not the worst. Their’s a sequel to fucking norm of the north for God’s sake.
@@mr.mcnoodles9326 tell me you are joking.....
@@DomesticAnimo They couldn't even get Rob fucking Schneider back for the sequel.
I saw that in theater and I’m not proud of it
Gene’s face during the Home Alone 3 review is the funniest thing I’ve seen. Just so baffled
Siskel: “I’m proud of not-agreeing with you.” The OG contrarian.
I think this review was a long time coming given NC respect of them
I'm only 17 so I never watched Siskel and Ebert, but man I wish I did.
Edward Castleman UA-cam my dude, tons of their reviews are uploaded dude
Im 24 and I never heard of them until I watched N.C's tribute video on them
I watched their reviews on UA-cam back when I was 11. Lol
You can still read Ebert's reviews at his website. They're all archived there, I think.
17? Go out and play.
Hey Doug, I've really enjoyed your Siskel & Ebert tributes before, and this was something really fun that I didn't expect. There were so many movies here that I had never even heard of before! I always love seeing comedy gold discovered from those two, they really were the best.
10:17 Uh... So we're not going to talk about the absolutely horrifying video artifacting on Ebert's face?
I thought it was spaghetti on his face or something.
10:02 - 10:29 is some kind of Lovecraftian nightmare
Precisely the type of thing NC meant when he said we need clearer versions of these. I've tried watching some episodes in the past and there's a lot of that kind of stuff. Compression does some fucked up shit sometimes.
Baby's Day Out is the most disappointing thing since my Son
Tony Joestar You had expectations?
Mr. Guy Productions You don’t get what he’s referencing do you?
Charlie Theanteater is it a movie? Or joke lol
@@austinkruse7610 No it's pizza rolls
Freddy Richards really?
He should've included the Poltergeist 3 review where they go on and on about how many times the characters scream "CAROL ANNE!"
Do you know how many times They shouted CAROL ANNE! BRUCE BRUCE PATRICIA PATRICA CAROL ANNE!
A HUNDRED TIME THEY SHOUTED
Their arguments were always hilarious as hell! Roger and Gene were still such pros to each other regardless if they agreed or not. Critics now aren’t quite as entertaining
You should do an Old vs. New of _The Producers_ .
Any moment that NEEDS an Old v. New comparison is the "Springtime For Hitler" number.
@@beethovensfidelio And yet that wide-eyed blank-faced actor did well voicing Adult Simba in _The Lion King._ I do agree that Broderick could never hold a candle to Gene Wilder and Zero Mostel.
This definitely deserves an Old vs. New. Weirdly enough, much as I ADORE Gene Wilder, I'd have to go with the new one this one. I was actually surprised how bored I was with the original. It may be the only movie with Wilder in it that I wasn't so big on. And I LOVED the new one.
@@JamesDavy2009 I think it helps that you don't have to see his annoying face in The Lion King.
Lloxie Fox
You
Are
Wrong
No clip of them on the cartoon show The Critic? ... cry
Great show it doesn't get the respect it deserves
It was in his siskel and every tribute video from 2009 if you’re looking for it
You have to review Benji the hunted now critic!!!!! Do not disappoint me or them.
"BOREDOM! Boredom with Benji running!" 😂
I loved, loved, loved this video. I literally grew up with At the Movies and subsequent iterations of Siskel and Ebert, and can remember first hand their journey as hated rivals to becoming almost brothers. I am feeling so many different feelings after this. Thank you so much for this thoughtful and lovely tribute to two passionate men.
"Siskel and Ebert had a unique passion that can never be replicated"
Have you not watched your material and Cinemassacre videos?
this comment just made me believe in riencarnation
10:16 what the heck is wrong with Ebert? Is the clip glitching or is he melting?
I think there was a glitch in the film.
Jay Cerrito melting
It's old
Freaked me the heck out. Even knowing it's a glitch didn't make it easier to look at.
Reptillian illuminati: confirmed
I hated and feared conflict as a kid (hell, even as an adult) and I remember covering my ears when they’d argue with each other.
I'm in the same boat, I absolutely can't stand conflict because of how uncomfortable it makes me. However, I really enjoy these two going at it, especially at kids movies
One of the things that made them so watchable was their debating the films, much as friends will do, something with which we could all identify. Doug, a big thanks for advocating the better quality Siskel & Ebert clips that their memory richly deserves.
