22:02 The reviews
I love how they reviewed two utterly forgettable movies and then possibly the greatest film ever made
saw it twice , once on a dare the second with my buddies.
Overrated overhyped.
I know it’s a great film, but I’m not sure Only You is one of the best films ever made.
When Pulp Fiction came out Tarantino was still largely unknown. John Travolta was a has-been. Uma Thurman and Sam Jackson weren't major stars. Okay Bruce Willis was a star and that was it--but it wasn't a "Bruce Willis movie", it was him playing a supporting role.
I think Roger had an insightful opinion on QTs way with characters and how his flair for filmmaking overcomes it.
I saw pulp fiction three times the day it came out. The early show, mid afternoon, then midnight show. I was so hyped because I loved Reservoir dogs. Pulp fiction is still top three favorite movie
What'd ya think of Once Upon a Time?
@@CheefChaos loved it. Not as good as pulp fiction though imo
@@jlobiafrayeah, but what's your favorite Dead Kennedys' song? I think mine is Life Sentence, but I waffle.
@@jewfroDZak too many to name but Bleed for me is a nice little diddy. Halloween; riot in fact the whole B side of Plastic surgery disaster jams, my favorite album of theirs
@jlobiafra very respectable picks...The end of that a side, too, though- Buzzbomb, Forest Fire & Halloween-three of their best right in a row. Packs one helluva punch.
Only you? That’s another Marisa tomei movie! You got a thing for her?
"It's fun to listen to these people talk." That's a great observation and rings 100% true.
Major bonus for including the commercials👍
I remember seeing the trailer 4 times that summer when I saw Gump. Didn't know what to make of it but when I saw the film - it blew my mind! Pulp Fiction is a masterpiece!
Right? I had seen the trailer for it on a vhs I had rented and thought little of it. Then a friend of mine said he went and saw it and as he said “I don’t even know how to describe it.” He and two other friends of mine went the following Friday night COMPLETELY unprepared for what we would be seeing. We all left the theater talking about it as if it was the greatest movie we’d ever seen. And for four seventeen year olds we may have been right at the time.
I'd have a hard time choosing between Gump and Pulp Fiction. Both are insanely entertaining and rewatchable. I remember when TBS ran a week of Forrest Gump marathon. I watched it four times that week.
Gene was on fire this episode
Especially with Tarantino, I expected a critique for sure. Wishing both could of seen his later movies.
Says only you: BAM!!!
If he's on fire 🔥, why he dislike all movies except Pulp fiction?🤔
I really wish they were both still here :(
I know sad smh
It's a bummer, they both died far too soon.
Pulp Fiction 👍🌟🌟🌟🌟
I would love to see what these two would of said about Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
I miss the 90s since they had each person's genre and enjoyed it. From Kevin Costner's films to Private Ryan in the middle Pulp Fiction and many more fans loved .
@@ianmillerdevilsfan1223 Then I hope you have those paddles nearby when you have that stoke .
Ebert was good, Siskel not so much.
I went to watch Only You Best multiple times upon its release! Great film that show you something new on every viewing! Marisa Tomei is excellent.
I really like the other film reviewed in this Siskel and Ebert episode..Second Best. William Hurt as usual was excellent and stole the show with his high powered performance.
Bursting with enthusiasm
Ah Roger that’s cocaine buddy
The only film that is a complete must watch Pulp Fiction 👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I don't know. For Marvel fans, you may want to check out Only You, just so you can see Robert Downey Jr. and Marisa Tomei waaaay before Spider-Man. It IS a good movie.
@@Jamthecoolerator There are far, far better movies for Tomei. RDJ was always a good actor but his movies were dogshit.. still are because of this MCU garbage.
It's really interesting to compare the two directors' (Redford and Tarantino) histories with regard to their filmmaking: Redford's context is one of American culture writ large and its more recent history. Tarantino's is that of a guy who grew up basically just consuming movies, scripts, and all aspects of films themselves.
Kind of explains quite a lot.
How is it possible that the world has only managed to produce two movie critics of this calibre, and now they're dead, there's no one to replace them? How in God's name is that possible?
A Saturn commercial! Hey, kids, ask your parents what a Saturn was.
I had a 2002 Saturn Ion . It lasted 18 yrs .
Thanks for uploading, and for keeping the commercials in. Really a blast to the past to see these old commercials, I'm nostalgic for that era
@GrinningAries
Especially the fig Newtons 😉
Uma Thurman was also in Even Cowgirls Get the Blues. Same year she did Pulp Fiction.
She was Aphrodite in Baron Munchhausen. And yes you get to see her nude!
@@thebookwasbetter3650 In a PG rated movie, which doesn't happen often anymore.
John Travolta, Samuel L Jackson, Bruce Willis and Ving Rames . How could you not love this movie? It’s a lot of dialogue but so entertaining
7:52-11:14 For those who are only here for their thoughts on Pulp Fiction.
Marisa tomei❤ dayuuuum
I like Pulp Fiction but I love Untamed Heart!
Bring out the gimp 🤣
They both bashed Reservior Dogs for being all dialogue.
Wouldn't say they bashed it. They gave it a slight thumbs down but they recognized the talent. RD is an amazing movie, but I can see why these two guys appreciated Pulp Fiction more. Had Dogs expanded more in that world, they would have liked it.
They both said in their initial review that Reservoir Dogs felt like a letdown after its opening sequence, while acknowledging Tarrantino's obvious talent. They later revisited this review in the Tarrantino special, and said that Pulp Fiction delivered on the promise offered by Reservoir Dogs.
IIRC many years later, someone asked Ebert on Twitter what he thought of Reservoir Dogs in retrospect and he said something to the effect that all of Tarrantino's films get better with each subsequent viewing.
@@paulgraves1392 I remember siskel not liking deep cover I thought that movie was great
You even got the 90s commercials! Well done! 😃 You kinda made my little day, darling! Sorry for calling you "darling ", my precious.
Reservoir Dogs is a great movie, with great acting. A lot of Best Supporting actors in that movie.
Damn, I love these old clips.... Come for the Review stay for the nostalgic commercials 🤪
I can’t believe people used to love watching this show. Don’t get me wrong. Elbert and Siskel both are intellectually gifted. Their articles read satisfying. However, TV made them like very shallow snobs.
McDonald’s stores
I can't help but think about this film as 'Pilp Fuction.'
It's all hip to blast Quinton Tarantino in 2023.
He's one of the best film makers of all time.
Iron Man and Aunt May
Marvel should've lifted some lines or paid homage to that film just to make that connection.
Nobody gives a shit.
I wonder what Downey Jr. thinks of movies of his like this, mow that he's so identified as Iron Man.
I hate Robert Redford.
Everything he says/acts and everything writes is one note. Even his voice is one note.
Although I will admit, he's a better director than Clint Eastwood, but only because he uses Philippe Rousselot and not Tom Stern for DP.
Cry more. Robert Radford is the goat
@@nathanlehto8780 You make a compelling argument.
🍔"What's a quarter pounder you called in France?? "
They're thinking this is witty original dialogue??
So what movies do you like?
@@kobybarnes3035 David Lynch especially Mulholland drive
@@piper888 💀💀 that explains it, you need to learn to have fun watching movies. I can enjoy a Lynch flick when I'm in the mood for something cerebral and Lynch-y, he is definitely a unique creator, but like I said it seems like you need to learn to have fun watching movies.
@@kobybarnes3035 yeah that's a lot of fun watching somebody's jam a giant needle in somebody's chest. Not my idea of being funny or entertaining
@@piper888 it's not really your fault, you just need to learn to have fun watching movies. I hated Lynch at first, but after learning more about him and his movies, and rewatching them I grew to understand and enjoy them. I recommend you do the same, especially with critically acclaimed films you never liked. It allows you to get even more out of the film than you would otherwise.
Pulp Fiction is a hip, cool and funny exercise in style and scrambled order of plot and events,. A very good movie in that regard, but not the masterwork so many people make it out to be.
Says the millennial douche
While I think that criticism can be leveled at Tarantino's work generally, I really don't believe it applies to Pulp Fiction. The non-linear narrative is not merely a gimmick in the movie but an essential part of the storytelling. At first glance, Pulp Fiction does seem to be a hyperstylized, violent crime picture. In reality, it is a story about moral redemption. Even though Butch was prepared to murder Marsellus, he refuses to abandon him to the fate of his captors and intervenes to save his life. In return, Marsellus forgives Butch for the earlier betrayal. Jules comes to believe that God has intervened in his life and is called to renounce the life of violence he had led up to that point. Vincent remains on his criminal path, and it leads him straight to his own death.
I bought the VHS tape from the video store I used to go to before it came out for sale and bought the poster as well from the store .
I thought it was terrible actually...just silliness
@@j.farmer8345 true...good plot and theme analysis.
