Welcome To The Basement" is a show about watching, discussing and having fun with movies. None of the discussion or riffing is planned ahead of time.
The movie announced on Facebook before every new episode. We do discuss the entire movie, including the ending, so if you want to avoid spoilers, watch the movie first. - Комедії
Matt’s background being more in focus than him makes it look like green screen footage. This episode will start the “Basement never existed” conspiracy theory mark my words
I think that started in Dreams, when Matt suggested that he might actually be dead.
Made me ill to look at like 3D without glasses
LOL You goof
That is EXACTLY what I was saying, it doesn't even look like he's in the same room! XD
According to the research that I did, Matt is a CGI manifestation and Craig is Cecil disguised as a human.
Gotta say the "faster" bit gets me every time!
The great "Matt in Low-Def and Craig in Hi-Def" experiment has begun.
"Turn off the Sun" is my favourite Matt line this year.
Best. Themesong. Ever.
It sounds like early Iron Butterfly like something off Heavy.
When I first saw the movie I thought it was by Jimmy Hendrix
Was that the Ghost Planet?
Tonight on Coast to Coast, our guest will be The Green Slime. Play me to the desk, Zorak.
Timothy Dalton was a more jaded, angry, and youthful Bond. He brought a lot of physicality back to the role. First time you see him in _The Living Daylights_ he's sprinting full bore up a hill. That's not something you could really see Roger Moore doing.
Just rewatched this one after it got recommended after the new Black Hole ep, and i forgot how absolutely hilarious it was 😆 Craig at 9:01 had me dying 😂🤣
Best theme song in cinema history.
The reaction to the theme song in the intro is a series highlight of genuine reactions
That rockin opening really let you know that your in for a good time.
Slime Time!
This feels like a season 2 or 4 episode, I really love this one
This was probably the best movie I've seen you guys do! That theme song.
The noise the "slime" makes is perfect
The Green Slime has been a favorite of mine since I was little. I am so glad you guys DID NOT think it was total garbage! And seriously - that theme! Several bands have covered it over the years. There is a new project for you Matt; try to listen to all the versions of the Green Slime theme! Glad y'all are in good health and hope you have a wonderful Summer!
man, for such a hokey movie it spawned a lot of really important discussion!
Super deep! I miss this deep discussion!
1:26 WOAH, magically-appearing glasses!
My first exposure to Richard Jaeckel came from one of the weird episodes of Little House on the Prairie in which he plays a rather horrifying man (not going into spoilers just in case). I loved the intensity he gave in that episode as well as the evil he was able to portray.
Yep. Richard Jaeckel was a great old-school actor. Seems like he was in every war movie, e.g. Dirty Dozen, Guadalcanal Diary, etc.
Here's some trivia that came out of left field for me: the screenplay was written by Batman co-creator Bill Finger!
Wow, I didn't know he wrote screenplays. I just looked him up and saw that he also wrote the screenplay for the MST3K movie "Track of the Moon Beast"
Loved this movie when I was growing up. Always reminded me of Sigmund the Seamonster too. Thanks for the walk down memory lane with this one. ❤️
Haven't even seen the episode, immediately liked it. This movie has been on my bucket list FORVERRRRRRRR, and the fact that two of my all-time favorite movie-buffs get to watch it and talk about it makes me happier than words can say! :)
I saw this movie at the drive-in. My older cousin wanted to go on a date and she had to take my younger brother and me as chaperones. I didn't care what they did as long as the popcorn and candy kept coming.
I was definitely getting heavy Alien vibes from this too.
You gotta love cult movies with bad ass theme songs.
HOLY CREPES GUYS! This is an INSANE coincidence, but the movie poster for this film was parodied and used as a label for a bottle of Sake I just recently saw at a Sake brewery while here on Vacation in the Poconos! Their original sakes had a lot of labels which were parodies from old adverts and such. This particular poster had the lady holding a bottle of sake instead of a wine glass. I am like...shocked, what an INSANE coincidence.
Synchronicities! What is the name of the sake company or particular sake? Thanks!
One of my favorite episodes ever.
I had never heard of the film Secretary, but hearing the description of the plot, as soon as the name James Spader exited Craig's mouth, I immediately said "Yep, that checks out."
10:05 "Ooh, you can't shoot it... I WANT TO SHTUDY IT" my favourite quote from this episode XD
The Green Slime has the greatest theme song
9:05 - The green slime started as Captain Caveman and ended up as Jerry Lewis lol.
Great episode. Great editing. I laughed and I danced and I'm gonna watch that movie.
That was an amazing James Spader impression
Also not sure if this movie inspired Aliens but I wouldn’t be surprised.
The Green Slime copied It: The Terror from Beyond Space. Then Alien copied The Green Slime. Also, there's some of Mario Bava's Planet of Vampires in the early scenes of Alien on the planet.
The Green Slime + The Green Mile mashup film, The Green Smile...
People may think these monsters look silly by today's standards but you have to have an open mind the film came out in the 60s yes it was men in rubber suits so, GODZILLA was a rubber suit how ever seeing this film as a young kid did scared the hell out of me because in the movie the creatures were dangerous they feed on electric power and can electrocute you to death and that is what made it terrifying for me. 📽📽🎬🎬🎞🎞📽📽
Seen it? George Romero's 'Knightriders' (1981) - a batshit crazy film if I've ever seen one!
You guys are crazy! Those monsters are ICONICS!!!!!!
Wow someone else who thinks Licence to Kill is the best James Bond movie. It's the first one where I actually give a damn about James Bond as a person. It has a great female sidekick who is not a damsel in distress and kicks a ton of ass, straight up saving Bond multiple times. And he gets a very sweet moment with her at the end of the film. Q is an excellent field agent and just friend to Bond. Leiter is also again a good friend to Bond and they have a lot of human moments early on.. Bond is not an invincible perfect machine either, he screws up multiple times in the movie to ill effect. Bond is also just ruthless in this, the way one would expect a licensed assassin to be (when he kills Killifer in the shark tank, I still get a bit of shiver). Robert Davi, channeling his real life asshole personality, is a genuinely intimidating villain, but also one who doesn't have some dumb over the top world domination scheme. And a super young Benicio del Toro is also a super threatening lackey. And Wayne Newton is surprisingly perfect as a crooked televangelist.
But Matt is right about Dalton not being funny, at least in the traditional sense. He was much dryer in humor. His "farewell to arms" line at Hemingway House is still delightful. But you can tell they knew. They gave a lot of humor to others on screen. Sharkey saying "what a terrible waste...of money" after the Killifer death, or Sanchez's "Launder it" line after probably the most graphic death in a Bond movie, or Sanchez again with "You're only president...for life". This also seemingly comes from being right after the extremely silly Roger Moore movies and just before the much lighter toned Pierce Brosnan movies. I still wish we had gotten a Dalton Goldeneye (my second favorite Bond movie).
Anyways that's my mini essay thanks for coming to my TEDtalk
Say what you want about Green Slime, that poster is one of my favorites from a time when a movie poster alone was all it took to make a young kid want to see a film.
You guys were particularly funny in this episode~
Thanks for doing this one, I'm rather amazed that you've only gotten around to it just now.
This movie looks like the greatest thing ever made
From the director of Battle Royale...
Luciana was sick of guys’ egos after Thunderball. It comes up a lot
This looks like how "Armageddon" should have gone.
The theme tune!!
Matt's camera is making me feel more stoned than I am.
Have you guys ever seen Steven Seagal's "Hard to Kill?" It was the second film he ever starred in and you can tell because he still does his own fight scenes/ hilariously floptastic running. His perfect blend of massive ego and complete lack of self awareness are what takes a dumb b-movie action plot and elevates it to pure, stupid, gory, hilarious action movie cheesy bliss. I watched it just last week for family movie night and all five of us were dying laughing at it. I can't recommend it enough to watch with friends.
Seen it? Alive, also a snow movie, and starring a young Craig Johnson! :)
And co-starring my old nemesis Ethan Hawke (who I have since forgiven) (for just thinking about eating my sister).
Fascinating. one of my favorite game series, Halo, features a UNSC. Stands for United Nations Space Command in that, not sure if it's the same meaning here or not. wonder if that is a coincidence or not.
A fantastic campy film. If memory serves me right, I remember hearing years ago that they wanted most (if not all) of the people in the film to be American. To do this they brought in a lot of G.I.s that were stationed in Japan to be extras.
Thin red line was also my First Malick film, before I ever really knew or cared who directed anything and also saw in the theater. Better on subsequent viewings and having the Malick Mindset helps. I never heard his name until I saw a review of Tree of life and intrigued me that he had been away from Movie making for 10 years and went back and watched his catalog on the old microfiber couch after seeing it. Some were good, some were bad. We'll talk about it.
woof, that opening!
I heard Kinji Fukusaku and knew this one would be interesting. I was not wrong, that theme song rules lol
SLIME IN THE ICE MACHINE!
SOYLENT GREEN IS PEOPLE!
These guys review that movie too in another UA-cam video.
One of my favorite science fiction movies.
Glad you guys gave this film a fair shake: I'm bias as a fan of Japanese monster movies, including Hollywood co-productions, but I honestly love THE GREEN SLIME despite it's negatively unfair reputation. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to let Toei Production know that James Cameron, Michael Bay, and Ridly Scott needs to be sued!
Lots of laughs in this episode!
Movie was rated G by the way. Very family friendly. Lol
So many white Godzilla alumni, actor and English voice actor alike.
Some actors from Wagon Train? Just a weird time and too damned entertaining.
The plot of an alien monster on a rampage aboard a spaceship goes back to the 1958 movie "It, The Terror From Beyond Space," and before that to A. E. van Vogt's 1939 short story "Discord in Scarlet," which was incorporated into his 1950 novel "Voyage of the Space Beagle." Luciana Paluzzi (the actress who plays Lisa) also appeared as the SPECTRE assassin Fiona Volpe in the 1965 James Bond movie "Thunderball."
Yoooooo, I loved A.E. van Vogt's Null-A trilogy books! That's interesting, gonna look that story up, thanks :)
The Green Smile too and .... the Green Miles!
Even the full size sets look like miniatures
7:02 really needs to be brought into future episodes.
First ??? after 10 years ?
Everybody was so old back then, even the young ones
The asteroid looks like one of those hot Cheeto balls
I was today years old when I learned the the phrase "crap shoot" is actually "craps shoot", and refers to the game of craps.
It's surprising to me how they managed to cast so many small roles and extras with westerners.
Reminded me of ear.y Dr Who 😂
Robert Horton reminds me of a pre-comedy Leslie Nielsen.
PUREST GREEN!
here's one The Green Smile !
Sci-Fi July!
This one was very reminiscent of the Rated RPG episode "It Came From The Late Late Late Show" and Matt's buggy-eyed monsters
The slime is a hoax, you’d know that if you would DO THE RESEARCH
5:10 You mean the Satellite of Love?
Gil Scott-Heron:
We'd like to do a poem, that was inspired by a still life in the subway
That was a commercial for a movie called "The Green Slime"
And we call this poem 'Omen'
A giant eye zapped across the screen
With tentacle-type, feeler-type, thin-roots
Reaching for someone, maybe me
With large, black, block, letters
Chiseled into the white, around the pupils screaming:
R. E. V. O. L. U. T. I. O. N.
Revolution
And as the eye, giant and green
Sort of oozed with no obvious locomotion
Closer and closer
Until it was like this on my screen
It split and blood flowed down each side of the street
Washing away things that we didn't need to see
Just like beer cans, peanut shells and copies of the daily news
And then, laying there, bleeding like a stuck pig
Was a stuck pig
Get the point?
Wow.
In our 9 and a half years of doing this show, two hundred and twenty-some episodes, countless comments, this is the most interesting and unexpected comment we've received, as far as I'm concerned. Well done. Thank you.
@@craigjohnson6423 ua-cam.com/video/w4s8uBJtHOM/v-deo.html
Can't believe one of you guys didn't sing "Gamma-Gamma-Gamma Chameleon".
23:36 Or indeed if Ian Fleming wrote them.
You guys should watch The Lure. Its an interesting film from poland. A horror musical take on the little mermaid. I thought the songs were quite interesting and the dichotomy between the two sisters was also well portrayed. You might not have fun censoring, but id love to get your guys’ thoughts.
7:02 so "Faster!" Faster?
Did Hendrix do the music?
I loved this movie growing up it was played on TNT’s monster vision all the time in the mid 90’s
Batman creator Bill finger was one of the writers for this!
3:02 is... is that the Doctor Who theme?
Another alternate name could be" Green Slime and Ham."
And in the end, it was the most humblest of God's creatures that stopped the -sky sharks- green slimes. Why, it was none other than fire.
Wait... "crapshoot" refers to the game of craps? I have lived 24 years thinking it was referring to a chute full of excrement.
👍👍❤️❤️
Can you please watch tremors? Or at least talk about it?
Listen to Craig saying "faster" at 0 25 speed.
Hmm...UNSC...where have I heard that before? 🤔
Hey guys, I wanted to ask if you believe that riffing on really bad or really great movies is easier than riffing on mediocre movies. Wuthering Heights is a great movie that you watched on this show and were able to come up with some great content. Mac and Me is probably one of the worst movies in existence and one of the funniest episodes you have produced. So I’m wondering if they are easier to make fun of then an average movie?
Since it's SciFi July I'd really love to know if either of you have seen Sputnik.
I was today years old when i found out what a crapshoot actually was
I love Secretary. That movie was a better BDSM movie than all of the Fifty Shades bullshit.
"Gee, Men Slither"
Re this, Mengele!
