Crumb is one of my all-time best documentary films ever made alongside Hoop Dreams (1994), Woodstock (1970), Roger & Me (1989), and The Thin Blue Line (1988)
This episode is a good reminder that they always wanted to do something extra each show, like talk about a trend, or try to nudge the film industry into a better direction.
roger and gene never addressed on the original vhs and dvd cover of shallow grave that it said two thumbs up on the cover although it did not, it one of three movies that falsely says that the others are birdy from 84 and lemony snicket's a series of unfortunate events but ebert and roeper did address false claims on that last one
Producing a scripted Jerky Boys movie misses the point, Crumb was-and still is-quite devastating. Always enjoyed Shallow Grave due to the editing and soundtrack
Crumb is my favorite documentary. A hard watch for sure but there is lots of humor in it for some needed levity. And I was obsessed with The Jerky Boys as a kid, I think their Jerky Boys 2 was my first CD I got haha. But even back then I knew the movie was kinda crappy.
5:20... Just Tell ThePolice about TheBody... You Don't Have to Tell'Em about TheSuitCase Full Of Money! (I Haven't Saw TheFilm, So I Don't Know "ThePlot".)
The Quick and the Dead would have been better if they had left in the deleted scene of Sharon Stone's character having sex with Russell Crowe's character. Because that would have made it more interesting instead of just watching one gunslinger get knocked off after another. That and those two had good chemistry.
Hear me out: I don't think the Jerky Boys movie was that bad for what it was. If you're walking into the theater expecting to see a quality pic that is going to win Oscars, then yeah you're gonna have a really bad time. If you're going into it knowing what you're going to get, it's not bad. You're getting the various characters from the CD and the occasional cameo that happens to be dropped across a storyline. Is the script great? No, of course not. But nobody is going in expecting a theatrical masterpiece or an amazing back story. You're going to see the Jerky Boys "play the hits" in movie form. You're going in expecting to hear Frank Rizzo and company. If you look at it as an extension of the CDs, it's a little more tolerable. Notice I didn't say great or even good. It's the health food equivalent of downing a king size candy bar on the weekend. You know its not going to be good for you, but sometimes its not a bad idea to consume it anyways.
@@CR055FIRE I think he’s dead. It would be tough for him to do something funny with a subject like that. Flesh all rotten and whatnot. No, best for him to retire at this point.
"No depth of character" in The Quick and the Dead? NO SHIT. It ain't that kind of movie. It's an exercise in style and thrills. It's fun. You know, that thing you USED to have? Crumb is a brutal downer. Great documentary but I regret watching it. Shallow Grave? More like Shallow Gravy. The gravy on the mashed potatoes that is the script! The Chicago Sun-Times should hire me hahaha. On a side note one time I got a speeding ticket in Berkeley California from a cop who was a dead ringer for Wavy Gravy.

They’re oddly dressed identically in this episode.
9:15 Crumb
14:00 how to improve movies
18:15 Buster Keaton
Sharon Stone talking about the algorithm, before the algorithm was the algorithm. Prophetic.
Love Shallow Grave and especially Crumb.
Crumb is the most honest movie I've ever seen.
Great stuff

Shallow Grave is one of the most boring movies i have ever seen
I see now how Arnold Schwarzenegger became a politician.
The Jerky Boys CD's were hilarious

Shallow Grave was the warm up for Trainspotting. Good thing the follow up was great.
5:20...
Just Tell ThePolice about TheBody...
You Don't Have to Tell'Em about TheSuitCase Full Of Money!

Genes rant... if he were here today, he'd have an existential crisis of faith with all the superhero overrun and all the shit on streaming.

The Quick and the Dead is a great film
Damn, Crumb really saved the week for this one
I will watch ANYTHING with Buster Keaton. I would say that Keaton was far more imaginative than Chaplin could ever be.
I don’t think he’s making new films.
@@justincoleman3805 apparently he's on an extended hiatus

"All mannerisms, no depth of character." Yep, that about sums up Leo's acting.
TheQuick&TheDead Wasn't Filmed to Be Watched By "Critics".
Agree 💯. It’s just popcorn fare It’s all about the great characters. Every time one gets killed it’s sad because they are so entertaining
The Quick and the Dead is a good movie.
The Quick and the Dead is one of the worst westerns i have ever seen
Pretty bad I thought. I did like his Spider-man films though, 1 and 2 anyway....

I thought Shallow Grave was really grating....
Jerky Boys was incredibly awful. A shame because the pranks were hilarious
Euan McGregor is an awful actor he is a huge obstacle to any kind of artistic success
He was in this new Pinochi movie and he just killed it stone dead, his delivery was awful.
Lol! LOL!
Yeah, sure he is, pal.
Jerky boys was such a wierd trend. Fad.
Flintstones is awful.
