Honestly, the world, and the industry is a lessor place without these two men. Watching them together is just beautiful.
11:45 "Doesn't it bother you that everything's gotta be Disney?"
And that was TWENTY YEARS AGO.
"Well I just dumped all over Hercules"
Kinda brutal, kinda cool.
24 years ago now to be exact
And they refused to even comment properly, interesting to see the beginning of the end.
... It's only been 2 years but this comment seems dated now. They are... Everything.
@@ImpulseGenerator The consensus is that _Hercules_ was one of their bad animated movies during a slump. I think it was a mistake to let them acquire Fox. Having one less studio means several fewer movies each year. And it's hard enough to get movies green-lit.
I delayed watching this 6 of 6 for months. I just love the way they talk to each other. It’s like friends at a bar…RIP Gene and Roger
I know exactly what you mean.
At the 46:00 mark you can see Ebert look at the chair next to him as if Siskel is right there.
Very bittersweet.
damn that brought tears to me eyes, you see him, looking for his friend........ i only watched it for 2 seconds and its got me in my feelings about life, death, friendship......
Yeah thanks for making me tear up
I spent 6 and 1/2 hours of my life watching this work. All 6 parts. I can't thank you enough for it. I'm sure you spent many, many hours searching through Letterman footage and editing. All I can say is thanks again. It was wonderful to watch. All the best.
Thanks!
The thoroughness and care taken when creating these collections blows my mind every time.
With how much Gene, Roger, and Dave talk over each other, a transcript of these shows would be 300 pages long.
LOL
@@arrowguy173 1/3 of the transcript will be Gene's fat jokes.
It’s really annoying
@@zxbc1 i am now fat but one day i will be skinny and you will still be the director of Brown Bunny.
gene was such a jerk lol roger was the best
The thing I admired the most with Roger and Gene was the honesty and sticking to their guns. They are sorely missed
Gene´s last appearance on the show was so bittersweet. You can see he is ill but he´s trying to keep up with Roger and Dave.
Those woodhanded doctors who did surgery on his braintumor really messed things up.
@@Angyali shut up
@@Angyali uh how so? I know people that had brain surgery for tumors and they are the same way after. It is usually the result of the radiation after the surgery that effects the brain function.
@@justayoutuber1906 it depends on where the tumor is. I'm fortunate that where mine is. I haven't looked at his story but mine grew back as Dr's said it would.
His hair, and a bit of a glazed look, was the giveaway for me.
Thank you, Don, for uploading all this. They were immensely entertaining both in and out of the movie theater, and Dave plays off them beautifully! DAMMIT, GENE! Really a shame you died so young. RIP, Gene and Roger!
Well, Roger was 70 years old.
Angelus so?
@@langdonalger9219 So at the very least we can't really say his earthly run was short compared to the average lifespan.
Angelus That’s hardly the point though is it? Regardless of a person’s age you can always say Rest In Peace when they pass on.
@@Angyali So 1- that was in reference to Gene and 2- Roger was a great critic with a sharp mind until the end, and may have had 20 more years of criticism in him were it not for the cancer
These were absolutely wonderful. You could tell Letterman loved having them on his show. I watched all of these in two days. Thanks so much for putting them up.
So enjoyed this compilation, thank you Don.
No problem
Boy it must have been sad for Roger to keep going on the show after Gene's death.
Siskel was quite young when he died. Only 53. What a shame. I was too young to have grown up with Siskel and so it was always Ebert & Roeper for me. When I got older and watched Siskel, yeah, Roeper did a great job but doesn't come close.
Thank you so much for putting all of it together. I saw all of the videos in the last couple of days and had a terrific time. Thanks!
Thanks!!
Have you noticed that in appearance 3, Roger knew about Gene's health, and he doesn't interrupt him nearly as much, and is much less aggressive in arguing his point. He let Gene kind of do his own thing while sitting back (for the most part)
56:07 The "one guy who was no good", whose segment never aired on Siskel & Ebert, is named Franz Lidz; he's a former Sports Illustrated writer. His NYT column is titled "A Shot At Thumb-Wrestling With Roger".
I just spent 20 minutes trying to find who it was. Could’ve just scrolled down. Thanks for the info.
I love Dave's vague confusing recollections of movies he had just seen.
What a collection you have! Eternal thanks for sharing
Thank you for putting this together. It was a lot of work and wonderful tribute to Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert.This was an effort of love.
Strange Dave didn't have Roger on again after 2000. But I got the feeling Dave was fonder of Siskel than he was of Ebert.
Yes, a bit strange. Although he did seem to have a good time with him on the last appearance.. Ebert would go on to do more Leno and conan shows through 2006. And then his talk show appearances would end when he had his own medical issues.
Watched all 6 parts. Thanks for the uploads. They were as entertaining, as the movies they reviewed. Miss them both.
me too, man i miss these two critics ! best of times
My favorite Letterman guests. Siskel and Ebert played off each other as well as they did Letterman. We'll never see a partnership like Siskel and Ebert again.
Watching all six of these tells a story...
When Dave talks about Gene Siskels death and also Paul Newman’s death it brings tears to my eyes. So genuine
Great collection! I kept smiling at the Energy and love of movies.
These are fantastic. Was looking for some old movie reviews and found these gems you'd posted. Thanks so much!
I wanted to thank you for putting all of these together. I've seen them all like 3 times, but I know I'll return.
Thanks for posting all of these!
thank you, Don.
These clips are so great.
RIP Roger and Gene. I still look at your thoughts anytime I watch I movie you two reviewed.
Thank you.
Siskel and Ebert was always so fun to watch thanks for uploading really enjoyed this
I feel Roger was right in keeping the show going, but he needed a more challenging partner.
I saw the year when he was doing "auditions" for review-partners. I think he chose well with Roeper.
What a wonderful collection! Thanks so much for all the work putting these together!
Thank you for pulling these together!
Notice Dave's vocabulary during this video. He uses the world rankle which is uncommon and catches them off guard. He did this with Norm mcdonald too. I dig it
43:27 Notice how Letterman asks Shaffer how his family was before breaking the news of Siskel's death.
Dave showed his heart so often in the later years.
It's a shame that the interviews are so short. Wish they'd done a whole episode.
The way Roger subtly looks over to an empty chair to pay tribute to his friend is quite touching.
They both liked Speed 2.
My God.
If you go the rotten tomatoes page for Speed 2 and click on "top critics" theirs are the only two positive reviews
Dave's joke is exactly why that movie is bad. "An out-of-control cruise ship!"
They were more populist than people thought
This was an amazing collection - THAN K YOU
miss roger and gene amazing critics who enjoyed the medium and art form of cinema
This is great. Thank you.
I'm gonna see this from the beginning just to see these guys all over again!!! Great stuff!! PS..when Ebert looks to his right at 46:01...there's no Siskel..🥺🥺
I have been watching this special show of Roger Ebert and Gene Siskel with David Letterman through this days since their first appearance in 1982 to this last. Many years in just some days...and is very sad not to see Siskel in this last show next to Ebert. Is not the same...
Great compilation with a, as some people have already mentioned, rather curious and sad non-ending.
Funny that the last movie mentioned in their final appearance together was "The Waterboy" lol
Thanks for the laughs, Dave ! Sure do miss ya ! ! ! !
I love these guys. Even when they came onto your show they were still were not to be fucked with. Shout out to Ebert and Siskel. When they were seated they were stoic (maybe not so much Gene since he always fidgeted around when he had something to say) but when they had a chance to get in their two cents those dudes mouths became Tommy guns. What a pair to witness.
It's sad to see how Gene was fading in real time. RIP.
You know I think this is what we're missing in the world today. People who disagree with each other but put it aside to work together.
But no personal relationship outside of work. Siskel said he did nothing for Ebert's birthday. Sad and petty.
@@sandal_thong8631This isn’t true as they got older.
English Patient. Shine. Fargo. Jerry McGuire. Secrets and Lies. Ah, those were the days, when good films made up the five nominated for Oscars.
people vs larry flynt
You almost forget just how funny Dave is.
I miss the old days.
Dave's joke about Speed 2 is exactly why the movie sucks. Still can't believe S&E gave it Two Thumbs Up.
Thank you for post this
9:20 Ebert: Hey Jackass you are on a hidden camera hahaha
Siskel: Hahahaha
Dave seemed like he was on autopilot on the last interview
Legends
At 46:00 you can see Ebert look at the chair next to him as if Siskel is still there. 😢
gene: "i like the parks" lmao
If Siskel and Ebert survived into modern day, I wonder if they would still have been as popular and if their opinion would have been as revered. I remember in the 1990s any commercial of a movie they liked proudly said it got two thumbs up. Now anybody can post their opinion online and have a show not unlike Siskel and Ebert’s on RUclips. I wonder how they would have faired in the internet world.
They were trained journalists, talented writers, and very witty, creative people. They would have been fine. And Ebert lived well into this century, and was working and writing right until the end. There's a big difference between their breed and some random RUclips schmuck.
They’re quite a few cuts above a RUclips reviewer and Ebert wrote all the way up to his death. Not to say they even look down on others. Ebert himself said he liked the proliferation of video reviews
@@wonderguardstalker I know he caught a lot of flack for saying that video games didn’t qualify as art but I read the piece again and I fully agree. This is coming from someone who played games quite frequently in my youth.
We should all screen Speed2:Cruise Control in affectionate remembrance....
Blood&Wine is a top crime thriller-directed by Bob Rafelson-Five Easy Pieces...
R.i.p. Gene n Roger 2 badasses 4 ever
What is the name of the song that they play at 9:03?
Under the Boardwalk
@@katiezee2 It was “Saturday Night at the Movies” by the Drifters (who also sang “Under the Boardwalk”).
@@kstepko Alright, thanks. The 2 songs sound similiar when only a short instrumental bit is played
Been watching these in succession and got pretty sad when this one started
Only took me 16 for all of these. Got kinda sad near the end.
She was Nell.
Gene looks thinner in the episodes before his operation. I once read that he knew as far back as 1990 about the tumour but it only became a problem in 98
Action Park in NJ!! A death trap.
I'd love to see a similar compilation of their appearances on Carson and Leno.
You’ll have to ask those who may have taped Conan and Leno. I didn’t.
@@dongiller I can’t fault you for not taping Leno.
I actually really wanted to see the far east circus....
Me too
Satisfied with the grip?
33:00 mins you can see how Gene is deteriorating... :(
🙁
The 90s were so laid-back. LOL Ebert did a Benny Hill "get it?" to the crowd at 1:37
This was before smartphones, social media, ultra PC culture, SJWs, outrage/cancel culture, and awarding stupid behavior like we see today. Much better times back in the 90s. We'll never get those years back.
@@musicman76enator Mmmm, 'political correctness' was a BIG thing by 1990 as was offense sensitivity. Lots of whinging in the 90s, but at least you could smoke in bars!
@@natureandphysics403 Sure yes, but at least you can get away with it and not have gazillions of people chewing you out on other platforms. Basically things were tolerable and people didn't make a gigantic stink about it for weeks and months afterwards. Nowadays it's like you do one thing and it blows up 500 billion%. Everything is Amplified these days no thanks to social media and the advancement of Technologies. Also it's like these days everyone hammers your butt for pretty much anything even if it's a friendly hello or doing a nice gesture. I absolutely despise how we function today...and yes smoking in bars was allowed, also beers didn't cost 50 bucks like they do today.
@@musicman76enator Yup, I avoid smartphone culture, and I avoid superficial people.
@@natureandphysics403 Smart. I try not to get wrapped up in that culture either. I dont post anything political or anything even borderline. We're better off. I'm actually nervous about what our society will look like in 10, 15, even 20 years down the road.
A little bit of my LOVE for movie died with Gene...my fav critic ever. RIP
1:02:47 what a skyline that is. Amazing
Why does Dave dislike animated movies? There's been so many great ones released in the last 25 years or so. He's missing out!
I think in previous episodes he said he doesn't go to the movies a lot. Which is funny, because I heard New Yorkers go to the movies every week or every other week.
lmao u can tell after the first time on the show they got so comfortable
12:39 - it’s only gotten worse. It’s permeated everything.
5:11 Siskel & Ebert set to Young Americans! This is amazing.
11:41 How right Dave was!
Damnit Gene!
This was so fun to watch... at 1:07:58 - was that January Jones?!?
Does anyone know what was going on during the first interview? Dave seemed upset with Roger, was ignoring him, and tried to prevent him from interjecting.
Dave just didn't like Roger very much, he favored Gene by a whole lot. The more I look at it Roger and/or his management might have asked the people at Dave's show to stop the fat jokes. Dave did stop the fat jokes but might have been pissed off about it..something like this must've happened. We have to remember Dave had a fragile but grandiose ego, what he portrayed on TV was not his true self. He dumped his first wife for a younger woman. He slept with his own staff, he cheated on his current wife, he hated on Jay because Jay got better ratings. He hated on NBC because they didn't want him to take over 11:30 etc. Dave somehow found a way to hate on Roger Ebert for christsakes, probably because Roger said something honest but painful.
In the end, we see Dave only had Roger on his show once after Gene died and during the interview, in so many words, Dave told Roger "you ain't coming on the show no mo!".
I didn’t see it that way at all.
46.00, I did get choked up
Dave is totally insane trying to trash Pleasantville.
I completely agree w him.
RLM is the closest thing we have to SE now…
Truly
RLM is great, but Mike and Jay can't match that dynamic. Siskel and Ebert would genuinely get annoyed at each others' opinions and bicker. You rarely see big arguments on Half in the Bag.
@@DoncoEntAgain Neither of them have liked a Benji
Dave wasn’t on his game in the first interview.
NOW we're making 10 times the movies...and it's EXACTLY the same. The CGI is better and the movies STINK.
These 2 get more boos than Howard Stern. They love it
Question at 8:27, what is the song the band is playing? Anyone know?
LET ME MAKE THE POINT!
1:07:23, wow Gene is looking good.
I love your video content, but, in this one dos anyone see the ghosting in the background? Looks like what you'd see on a stage door. "Worldwide Pants".
It’s a watermark. Couldn’t be avoided.
11:45 My God! David Letterman was right!
That last one must've been June first instead of May first, because Gene was diagnosed on May 8th and had his surgery on the 11th.
The Mailbag bit had been recorded before the May 1 broadcast.
lmao @30:21 when doi i get fed?
Didn't Ebert and Roeper make a bunch of appearances? Gawd, I miss Gene and Roger.
Not clear what you’re asking. This is Part 6 of all of their appearances. So yes, they made a bunch of appearance.
@@dongiller I guess I was having false memories. I vividly remember watching Ebert and Roeper making joint appearances on Letterman. If this was his last appearance, I must be misremembering and it must have been on Leno or some other late night show. That's really strange that Dave didn't have Ebert back on after giving up the last joke. I guess he meant it LITERALLY.
@@alexsandell8260 and I completely misread your question, not realizing you wrote “Roeper.”
No appearances on Dave.
@@dongiller gotcha. Thanks for all the Letterman videos. Gene, Roger and Dave helped this nerd through some REALLY dark days in elementary and junior high school. Seeing all their appearances, uploaded to youtube, was a real treat to me and I'm sure many others. Thank you.
Did Ebert ever appear alone after his final appearance in this compilation?
No; that was his last appearance.
@@dongiller Thanks, Don. I guess the trio made better television than with just Ebert; or it was done out of respect for Siskel. The reasoning behind Letterman not mentioning Ebert's death on his show does leave some questions.
I searched a number of databases and logs for any mention of Roger’s death. I’m likewise surprised Dave didn’t share his comments, but I can’t and won’t speculate why.
@@gamenrnunez0100 A quick google search reveals an appearance that Ebert made on Conan's show in 2005. And he appeared on Stern in Feb. of 2006. So he was obviously available for New York talk shows. The more I think about it, the more I think Ebert must have been purposely excluded from the show. But why? Because he went on Leno? Because the dynamic was different without Siskel? Neither reason seems likely. A solo Ebert was still a very good talk show guest.
anon ymous ebert and roeper never appeared on Letterman I guess, but they did appear on Leno a number of times. No idea why Roger stopped coming on the show. Too bad.
Letterman never interviewed them. I think he never liked them and tried to push their buttons. Not once did he ask an authentic question. He cut them off repeatedly.
They preferred to talk about the movies, not themselves.
Going through these videos, Letterman gets more and more irritated! 🤣
