    Can we just talk about how the actual antagonist of the movie is that ungrateful son of theirs?

    Okay I know this review is at least 4 years old but I just re watched The Birdcage recently and I just now re watched your review and I have to agree with it I love this movie and it's one that you can go to no matter where it's at in and watch . My favorite part is with Nathan Lane in the morning walking through the marketplace waving to people and order the cake for his little piglet. That just one and this movie is filled with those .... And it is tragic not to have Robin Williams in this world anymore.

    I love how they like and interact with the comments. It just shows how much they really care about their viewers, and it makes me love their content even more.

    There is a brief kiss between Armand and Albert. When Albert gets home from shopping and they are all in the kitchen, he goes and kisses Armond and he says, “oh! That beard!” 😂❤️

    Diane Weist and Catherine O'Hara should have a supercut of them saying, "Kevin" in many different exasperated ways.

    Nathan Lane and Hank Azaria killed it.

    At the age of 6, I did not have the emotional capacity to understand what was going on in this movie but my older straight brother said I would love it....it all makes sense now. #FamilyKnows

    I forgot to mention that every time I hear "We Are Family" I still hear Gene Hackman mumbling in my head. I even do it out loud sometimes.

    This film just doesn't get the recognition it fully deserves. My fave Robin Williams and Nathan Lane movie. Val and Barb were the real antagonists imo.

  • @14samramirez
    @14samramirez 6 років тому +18

    Fun fact: one of my uncles was an extra in the wedding scene at the end of this movie! I always used to think of it as that one movie he was in the background of but now that I'm older I love it so much.

    So just when I thought this movie couldn't get any better, right at the beginning of the movie as they zoom into the Birdcage, the marquee it reads: "Starina and the Goldman Girls" I literally spit out my wine. The sheer attention to detail makes this movie on of the greats! Love this retro review and I love this film!

    Have either of you seen Gods Own Country? It's a gay movie set in modern Yorkshire with two very cute actors and doesn't end in tragedy or AIDs. Highly recommend on Netflix.

  • @DarkMask6667
    @DarkMask6667 6 років тому +18

    Totally on-board for you you guys to reteo-review The Producers, but I feel the only way to do it justice is if you review both the original and remake in the same video! Like a Mummy 1 + 2 review, but with The Producers!
    Also, for next pride you guys should totally review Kinky Boots (the movie). I finally saw it on TV the other day and it was really sweet!

  • @remiobafemi3754
    @remiobafemi3754 6 років тому +10

    Great review! I first saw this movie in the theater when I was 12. Loved it! I didn't know at the time what gay was but I remember thinking that two men being together was fabulous and should be a thing. Lol I even wanted to go to college in Miami just so I could go to wonderful drag shows like in the movie.

    Rewatching this movie, as Boyle in Brooklyn 99 would say, "gave me a Diane Wiest infection", and I desperately want Agador's "straight looking" shirt. Your review has made the movie even better, so now I'm going to go and watch it AGAIN. And again, and again, and again.

    I won’t lie, for some of these quoted lines, it’s a toss up for whether I like your impression or the actual line in the movie more. This is everything for me.

  • @ShelbySays
    @ShelbySays 6 років тому +2

    Rewatching on a random friday night and still fucking dying laughing.
    I tricked my dad into buying this movie at "second spin" on VHS because he had no idea what it was about. Instantly one of my favorites at like 7 years old haha.
    The "how 'bout them Dolphins?!" part gets me every single time. 😂😂😂

    When I worked telemarketing for Columbia House, I would sell this movie to old men in Texas on Robin Williams name alone. So with all the the army movies they ordered they would get this movie they would never watch in a million years.

    Keep up the great work! I love your channel: great movie choices, AND Drag Race. It's like you know me. Also, agreed! "The Birdcage" is one of the (if not the) greatest movies ever made!

    I just recently remembered this film, "Mirror Mirror", the Snow White retelling starring Lily Collins. I remember finding the film fabulous when I first watched it but IMBD gives it 5.6 out of 10, so I wondered what you would think of it. It's got Armie Hammer, Julia Roberts, several makeover scenes, what more could you want!?

    I was lucky enough to see Nathan Lane in A Funny Thing in middle school (because that's appropriate) and it was one of the greatest performances I've ever seen. Also he's on Broadway right now playing Roy Cohen in Angels and he is fabulously evil.

    Maybe it was all the talk about "piercing the toast," but I think a (Movie) Bitches Bread recipe would go well with Avaryl's very good jam :P Honestly wouldn't be mad about Movie Bitches Cook Book- with of course plenty of drinks that would make Jessica Wild say "I love that drink!"
