Watching the clips from Goin' Coconuts was like having an out-of-body experience.
Man,what kind of hardass doesn't love Caveman? That movie is sweet dumb fun with a great cast!
The giant bug gave me nightmares, though. 😊
I miss this show.
One-Trick Pony at least gave us the great Paul Simon song Late In The Evening.
it was a great thing nobody listened to them
These compilations are wonderful. This channel is a lovely tribute to two people who quietly had a massive impact on popular culture. Excellent work!
Oy! That scene with Neil Diamond and Lawrence Olivier was hard to watch.
Was Olivier doing an impersonation of Sid Dithers? lol
Reminds me of the SCTV skit where Sid Dithers auditions for the role of Travis Bickle of “Taxi Driver” hilarious on UA-cam somewhere
At one point he says "I haff no son". One critic said "If Olivier keeps this up, he will haff no career". 😂😂😂
This was great! Cool subject for a compilation.
Interesting subject to compile. John Denver had success in "Oh, God!". Dolly Parton had a great debut in "9 to 5", but didn't do so well afterwards. The Village People didn't fare so well in "Can't Stop the Music". Olivia Newton-John had a legendary relationship with John Travolta in "Grease", but dropped way down in "Xanadu" and "Two of a Kind".
I never saw Coin' Coconuts, but these clips looks like I'm watching a Disney comedy.
@@cactusjackNV I actually liked Xanadu. it was a box office flop, along with Two of a kind, and they derailed ONJ's career.
Good editing.
I would like to have seen a review of Carny with J. Robbie Robertson.
Shalom and thank you for the video can you make a Richard Gere compilation
Son of a gun. I never saw One Trick Pony, but i wonder if the drummer in that clip was the inspiration for the muppet character "Animal".
Good subject to look into: the practice, in the late 1970s and early 1980s, of putting popular musicians in full-blown Hollywood movies, frequently in starring roles.
Surprisingly, they overlooked CAN'T STOP THE MUSIC (starring the Village People) and ROADIE (with Meat Loaf AND Alice Cooper) but this is understandable since both films premiered during the hiatus WTTW imposed on the program during the summer of 1980. The hiatus did NOT preclude the two critics from reviewing the films in print.
My mom would disagree with them on THE BEST LITTLE WHOREHOUSE IN TEXAS (which itself is a guilty pleasure of mine) but at least they didn't make a full-blown parody of the musical devoted to panning the film and at least they sure as hell didn't make an entire soundtrack album out of said parody (talking to you, Doug Walker!)
Of the other individual movies in the compilation, ONE-TRICK PONY and GOIN' COCONUTS have been tough to find on home video for the longest time, and THE JAZZ SINGER (the Neil Diamond version thereof) became one of the first winners of a Golden Raspberry Award but the soundtrack did well and spawned one of its star's most well-known songs, "America."
Good put down on Nostalgia Critic.
Fun looking backwards to BLWiT. Unremarkable songs including "I Will Always Love You". An unremarked on song and dance from Charles Durning that became really relevant in 2016 and remains so. And Dolly? All these years later? An American treasure.
Olivier as an Orthodox Jew (especially after playing a Nazi dentist in Marathon Man) at least gets an E for Effort.
Movie tickets were only $3 when Goin' Coconuts was released?? What happened!
INFLATION AND TAXES AND LABOR COST NOW ITS LIKE 12 15 A MOVIE POPCORN COKE LIKE 25 TOTAL
In the big cities... $2 in most other areas.
capitalism continued to do its thing
"Luci Arnaz has a future in movies." Haha... nope.
My favorite scene in One Trick is when Simon has to follow a "Modern Group" showing how out of touch he is. That group was the B-52s !
I think they were too hard on The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas. Wasn't a great movie, but good light entertainment, and there wasn't really that much nudity in the movie as they led you to believe. Most of the nudity was just male butts in the locker room scene, and just flashes of female topless nudity very briefly. It wasn't like Porky's or other R rated nudity filled movies of that time. They make it sound like it was an exploitable skin flick, which it was not.
Yeah. Not sure where they were coming from. I have always loved this flick... i remember my grandmother loved this flick and would cackle like a crazy person watching it. Lots of memorable songs.... burt and dolly made sparks. The boys missed it here.
The fuck? Oddjob and Jaws are the bad guys.... they lost a bet, it seems.
