It's impressive that this movie is somehow less about Chuck Berry than Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band was about The Beetles. THANKS 1950s RACISM!
Brad, I don't understand how you don't have more subscribers. You always do a great job on these videos, and I consider you an icon of the industry. Surely others feel the same.
Trivia fact of interest to no one but me, the Jimmy Clanton song Go Jimmy Go, was a favorite of my mom. It was one of the first 45 records I ever heard as a child.
Chuck is GREAT.....but what did he say about who's the King ? "How do I describe Elvis? The greatest that ever was, or ever will be!" Elvis, was, is and always will be the KING !!!
@@ITILII Elvis? You mean that Drexel Hemsley ripoff? Seriously, Elvis is only famous because a white guy who could sing and dance like the superior black artists who white Americans were scared of.
"You know that new sound you've been looking for? Well listen to this!" Chuck Berry: *listens to Johnny Melody for five seconds* Y'know what...I'm good, Marv. Never call me again."
Thank you for spotlighting these goofy music related films from the 50s. I find that older films have a lot of stuff to make fun of, which I why I watch them more :). Could an Elvis film be in our future this month?
Which is funny, because Marty McFly learned the song from listening to Chuck Berry, so apparently the song exists in a closed loop outside of time and space.
oh this brings back horrendous memories of my graduation from school whereby the winner of the school talent contest a kid also named Brad serenaded the class of 09 with Chuck Barries Johnny B good offkey with a oversized cardboard cutout of a cherry red guitar and unfortunately forgot some lyrics due to him having a tumour removed which left him with short term memory loss lack of impulse control.
I loved the babbling noises that you made, when the half bald guy with glasses into the choir room. Johnny Bitch Get Out The Way, was pretty funny too. That coffee shop with, the 3 Ks is awful. Chuck get the fuck, out of there!😂The part when you said, your farts smell like cigarettes.😆😂🤣
Okay, I know I said last week that "Wild Guitar" was a huge downgrade from "Rock Around the Clock", but for a studio movie about an up and coming Rocker, this is a huger downgrade. We have a protagonist whose basically a douchebag and yet he rewarded at the end for his singing ability. Rock legends like Chuck Berry and Richie Valens being underutilized. And some not so subtle racism, I mean "The Krazy Koffee Kup"...REALLY?! Great episode, even though I kinda dumped on "Wild Guitar", but at least the protagonist is more likable and the story as corny as it was, it at least tried to tell one.
How ironic for this to be uploaded as I was just finishing up some fan art based on a play on your name, Cinnamon Snob, oh, I mean, Cinema Snob! ;) ALSO, I really am loving this month long marathon of older rock musicals and seeing how happy you are in turn as opposed to the usual 'angry' Snob we're all use to. Always a pleasure watching your videos either way!
As a person born in the late 90’s (1997), is it ok to like old 50’s, 60’s, 70’s and 80’s Teen Idols? 😂😂😍😍❤️❤️. BECAUSE I DO!! Like Frankie Avalon and Dion.
You missed a joke there, "Chuck may look like he's enjoying the music, but he's just excited that there's so many teenage girls in the audience to hit on.
NOT! Low enough... We need a movie so good that it will get -6 Doves from the Dove Foundation. Making it the perfect vacation movie when visiting the Nine Circles of Hell!
Brad's right about Chuck being too cool for this movie. If he'd been the lead, the coolness scale would've broken from shooting past the factory maximum.
Unfortunately it would have been almost impossible at the time to have a mainstream movie with a black lead. So instead we get a goofy looking white kid who can't sing or play the guitar. And they don't even let him sing actual rock music. There's probably only a few seconds of rock in the entire movie. I wonder if audiences felt cheated. Still they did briefly show Chuck when it could have just gone the completely safe route and not shown any black people at all. And it does show Richie Valens.
"Johnny leaves her to her nighttime routine: brushing her teeth, putting on her nightgown and singing." *singing* Me: "Shut up and In sync with the Snob: GO TO BED!" Love it when shit like that happens.
Great to see Brad looking so happy and back to his vintage best. Brad if youre reading this mate, please, please, PLEASE do a review of the movie THE EDDIE CANTOR STORY, its without doubt the worst musical biopic ever and stars Keefe Brasselle (the guy who said "Gee what i'd give to own that ball" in The Babe Ruth Story) as Cantor and that casting is like casting Lou Ferrigno as Dudley Moore and the film makes The Babe Ruth Story look like Citizen Kane.
If they weren't going to feature Chuck Berry in a movie titled after his own song because he was black , they should have chosen a white Rock n Roll song
This rock film should have just been Eddie Cochran and Chuck Berry singing the whole time. It would have been good then. Thanks for another Musical March in September!
Hey! It's Milton Fromme! Hey! It's Joe Flynn! Hey! It's Herb Vigran! Hey! It's Cesar Romero! Hey! It's the actor who played Mr. Brewster of the OK Oil Co. On The Beverly Hillbillies!
Joe Flynn playing an uptight prude is funny because if you watch the outtakes and behind the scenes footage from McHale`s Navy, you`ll see that he was a cut-up and danced like nobody`s business. The complete opposite of Captain Binghamton`s personality.
So many talents, such great music..and every five minutes it's being interrupted by Wannabe-Dion with a Headcold. Still, best Musical March(in September) thus far. And I'm not being sarcastic here, either. Oh, and even without the warning, 11:20-11:21 just cracked me up.
The moral of the story is fame is more important than self-respect and never be responsible for your own actions, like breaking store windows and such.
It was cool seeing you in Drunken Peasants man. Would be really cool if they had you as the only guest sometime. Good episode regardless just wanted to hear you talk more and less from the other guests. Lol.
Here's your 'Back To The Future' joke, sir. On a silver platter.
5:54 I love these "old man undignified grunts", make me chuckle every time
Hey, Johnny! Johnny, it's me, Mr. Martin! No, your cousin Martin! You know that new SOUND you've been looking for? Well, listen to THIS!
Its marvin
It's Martin in the stinger of this movie.
Lotus Prince Marvin Martian?
Mr. Martin? AHH! This is heavy!
aren’t orphanages supposed to let go of children who turn 18? because im fairly certain johnny is around 25
And Babe Ruth was 40, apparently.
3 packs of cigarettes a day since the age of 11 will age your face pretty badly.
It's impressive that this movie is somehow less about Chuck Berry than Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band was about The Beetles. THANKS 1950s RACISM!
Sorry, hit accidentally while scrolling.
Nice icon, Peter.
Brad, I don't understand how you don't have more subscribers. You always do a great job on these videos, and I consider you an icon of the industry. Surely others feel the same.
Notice to Gold Star Snob Fans: The "Hillary's America" episode is now publicly viewable again.
'Johnny with no last name, i stopped calling myself that years ago' nowadays he's known as "The artist formerly known as johnny"
Okay, a restaurant where the initials are "KKK" and a musical act where a black guy is hassled by police while the audience claps. Need I say more?
Dinesh D'Souza's America?
Oh 50s, you so racist!
But then they go and make the cops black, completely confusing the issue.
Why didn’t you make Chuck Berry the star???
Oh right, racism
Even with racism the Berry's on top.
"Johnny Be Good!...the Chuck Berry Story" would have been a much, much better movie.
It was truly the BIRTH OF THE DRAGON of its day. Damn you Steve!... I mean Johnny!
Medication102 truly spoken by someone who doesn’t understand racism.
@Medication102 wtf is wrong with you?
Trivia fact of interest to no one but me, the Jimmy Clanton song Go Jimmy Go, was a favorite of my mom. It was one of the first 45 records I ever heard as a child.
Chuck Berry. The real king of rock.
rock and roll was just an evolution of the blues, after all.
I feel so bad for Chuck in this film
If you take away Chuck's personal life, he was the grandfather of rock and/or roll
Chuck is GREAT.....but what did he say about who's the King ? "How do I describe Elvis? The greatest that ever was, or ever will be!" Elvis, was, is and always will be the KING !!!
@@ITILII Elvis? You mean that Drexel Hemsley ripoff?
Seriously, Elvis is only famous because a white guy who could sing and dance like the superior black artists who white Americans were scared of.
Just begging for Back to the Future jokes.
"You know that new sound you've been looking for? Well listen to this!"
Chuck Berry: *listens to Johnny Melody for five seconds* Y'know what...I'm good, Marv. Never call me again."
Somehow "Johnny Melody" sounds more made up than Calvin Klein.
That's because no one ever talks about Hobbes Klein so it just sounds weird.
Thank you. I needed this so bad. I live in Wilmington and this storm has taken a toll on all of as.
More quality content from the best.
Happy Monday, everyone.
Jack Kincariatune was actually my pre-noble name.
"GO JOHHNY GO GET TO THE CHOPPER"
@@DavidLionGuitars eh ya get the point
Thank you for spotlighting these goofy music related films from the 50s. I find that older films have a lot of stuff to make fun of, which I why I watch them more :).
Could an Elvis film be in our future this month?
Chuck, it's Marvin. You know that new sound you're looking for? Well, listen to this!

In a film, that would be a comedy scene.
trust me going to a special school for education can be quite the comedy of errors
17:48 you cant tell me that the middle guy has looks like de niro if he time travelled into the 1950s
Christ was Johnny Melody trying out for a role on Alvin & the Chipmunks. Sounds exactly like he has swallowed a canister of Helium when he sings
that's some falsetto
So in a week we get a video on Mark Mero who went under the name Johnny B Badd in WCW and a video on Johnny B Goode
M . A Campbell I smell a crossover with Brian Zane of Wrestling with Wregret
I loved the babbling noises that you made, when the half bald guy with glasses into the choir room. Johnny Bitch Get Out The Way, was pretty funny too. That coffee shop with, the 3 Ks is awful. Chuck get the fuck, out of there!😂The part when you said, your farts smell like cigarettes.😆😂🤣

As soon as Johnny said he doesn't pay his taxes I started hoping that the movie would end with the IRS busting him.
Good Morning Cinema Snob. ❤️❤️😍😍

So Johnny is the reason people make fun of Josuke’s hair
A Hal Roach Studios Production? So Buckwheat grew up to become Chuck Berry? Damn, who knew?
Haven't been this early before... guess I can use this to say you do an amazing and I hope you have a great day Brad!!!

Also 50s girls are best girls. That vintage look is like kryptonite to this chap 😳
Born in the mid eighties here. Same tastes. There's no expiration date on good taste in music (Disco don't count, I said GOOD taste!) ;-)
Disco counts.
Steve Guttenberg. I rest my case. :-D ;-)
That's not for other people to decide
You missed a joke there, "Chuck may look like he's enjoying the music, but he's just excited that there's so many teenage girls in the audience to hit on.
Jesus, Bro! 2: America BRO!
NOT! Low enough... We need a movie so good that it will get -6 Doves from the Dove Foundation. Making it the perfect vacation movie when visiting the Nine Circles of Hell!
12:11 Hey-HEY! It’s great to be back at the Apollo Theatre and... K K K? That’s not good, oh-ho... *(is pelted with rotten fruit)*
Boooooo! >:(
Johnny B. Rotten
Wait a minute...
It's the prequel we've been looking for
So....this is the story of Johnny Rotten ! Neil....Neil Young....I found that music you've been looking for !
Brad's right about Chuck being too cool for this movie. If he'd been the lead, the coolness scale would've broken from shooting past the factory maximum.
This movie is the reason Batman hates rock and roll. He saw too much of himself in Johnny and switched to fighting criminals instead.
I wondered if anyone would reference that comic
Do it for Johnny, man.
This is wonderful.. thanks for making my day, may you have a beautiful day! Looking forward to your future videos

They had a hi-fi phono, boy did they let it blast,
Seven hundred little records, all rock, rhythm and jazz...
6:51 Wasn't she one of the gals who auditioned for Gary's trip to Singapore in "Horror of Spider Island"?
"Johnny leaves her to her nighttime routine: brushing her teeth, putting on her nightgown and singing."
*singing*
Me: "Shut up and
In sync with the Snob: GO TO BED!"
Love it when shit like that happens.
Diggin' that Josuke hair, man!

How awesome would a shirt of the rockin Snob from the thumbnail be?
That All in the Family reference made soda go threw through my nose. Now my nose is burning like crazy.
"Go to bed!!!" OMG Brad, I laughed so hard
Did your cousin Marvin Snob recommend this one?
Best BTTF reference so far 👍
I think this is my favorite series you've done.
6:31 "Hey kids you know what rocks? Math!"😁
Yay George Carlin reference! :)
I learn about this movie through Ritchie Valens being in it
2:32 So did this movie ever tell us what he said? Because I couldn't freaking understand Van Morrison when he tried to tell me.
Guess I know what I’m watching on my lunch break
First off: you were awesome on DP the other night!
Secondly: *confusing 50s rock lingo/slang, possibly including the term "cat"*
Holy Cow. That's Joe Flynn! at 7:15. Must have been a very brief cameo.
10:57 lmao great AitF reference
5:37 if you imagine that he's talking about the fact that johnny is gay, that line gets at least ten times creepier.
If they weren't going to feature Chuck Berry in a movie titled after his own song because he was black , they should have chosen a white Rock n Roll song
Will you review Help! Or any BeaTles film?
This rock film should have just been Eddie Cochran and Chuck Berry singing the whole time. It would have been good then. Thanks for another Musical March in September!
I can tell you for a fact that Jack's second name is spelled "Kankerryatún" (it's Irish)
12:51 I'm surprised there was no jokes about the top of that guys head getting cut off.
16:58, was that the narrator from Fun in Ballonland?
Hey! It's Milton Fromme! Hey! It's Joe Flynn! Hey! It's Herb Vigran! Hey! It's Cesar Romero! Hey! It's the actor who played Mr. Brewster of the OK Oil Co. On The Beverly Hillbillies!
You where hilarious on the drunken peasants podcast! Please go on again sometime!
Really he was? Gotta check it out
Lt. Dan? Again? Holy crap, Snob, Alan Freed and Gary Sinise are not the same person! 😠 . . . 😉
“Ow, my knees are broken..”
😂
Only a minute in, and we've gotten the Back To The Future joke out of the way.
So, next week HAS to be an Elvis movie, right?
Wasn't the radio station set the same building used as a Newspaper office in 1938's Nancy Drew, Reporter?
Joe Flynn playing an uptight prude is funny because if you watch the outtakes and behind the scenes footage from McHale`s Navy, you`ll see that he was a cut-up and danced like nobody`s business. The complete opposite of Captain Binghamton`s personality.
12:14 HOLY MOLEY
Much like rock around the clock, I just feel like everything about this movie can be followed by “god dammit, white people!”
They had to get this out *asap* before these songs left public consciousness.
I recently found out that the acknowledged 1st rock & roll song was by Ike Turner.
"Mister Martin! Aaah" xD
So many talents, such great music..and every five minutes it's being interrupted by Wannabe-Dion with a Headcold. Still, best Musical March(in September) thus far. And I'm not being sarcastic here, either. Oh, and even without the warning, 11:20-11:21 just cracked me up.
6:26 "Math is a wonderful thing!"
Jimmy Clanton makes me feel like I've been Rickrolled.
Thanks for adding that voice of an angel from Archie's place, I thought it wouldn't get more white.
Hey.
Can you review industrial musicals next year?
Chuck Berry didn't write Johnny B. Goode. That was Marty McFly. EVERYONE knows that!
thank the gods for black sabbath.
You said in your Mario 64 stream that the 50s Rockn'Roll Musical March wasn't that well received.....I actually really like this episode.
I lost it at “Johnny bitch get out the way”
Come on cinema Brad ya gotta review rock n roll high school!
The moral of the story is fame is more important than self-respect and never be responsible for your own actions, like breaking store windows and such.
12:52 if you're cuphead wheres mugman
Calling it now, *Rock Around the Clock* is going to be the best film that you've reviewed the Musical March in September!
Meet the feebles dammit
I lost it completely at GO TO BED!!
14:49 "Go to bed!"😁
Next musical March in September check out Tyler Perry's the passion..
It was cool seeing you in Drunken Peasants man. Would be really cool if they had you as the only guest sometime. Good episode regardless just wanted to hear you talk more and less from the other guests. Lol.
Are you going to review "The Girl Can't Help It"?
MR. MARTIN! HAAAAAHHHHH!!!
I’m guessing getting Chuck Berry to be the star of this movie was Just a Dream.
your faith in someone knowing jimmy claytons hit has finally paid off!
