I love this show in its entirety but I think this was one of the best episodes yet. 10/10 riffing all around! "There's a painting montage, so I guess that means it's sterile."
And thats what makes this movie so loathesome. They took a real friend of his, a MURDERED one no less, and made a cheap romantic subplot out of it. Utterly disrespectful.
@@Forkliftdance it is real dumb because he met his wife in his final year of med school and could have just made the character be her and not murder her
According to Wikipedia (so take that for what it's worth) "One is that the character of Carin is fictional, but is analogous to a real life friend of Adams (a man) who was murdered under similar circumstances." So... she wasn't real, but the murder/suicide part at least sort of happened similarly? Ugh. That's still gross that they made up a love interest to get murdered.
@@k.d.noodle6196 he's on record hating this movie because it also missed his message. He believes in humanizing medicine, but he also put in the real work and believes in the importance of medical school. He also never stole supplies
This is one of my favorite “bad cheesy” films to watch and make fun of, I’m glad you guys felt the same. Craig’s jokes and comments get better each episode as well!
Patch Adams had a male friend who was murdered, not a female friend nor was she even a real life person in his story. Hearing the real Patch Adams talk about his disdain about this film is the best thing about this.
It's also so hard to critique these sort of films because they're often about an important or sensitive subject matter. So, when you critique them, people think you don't care about the core subject. Rather than seeing that I actually do care, because I don't want this bad movie filled with falsehoods to represent that subject matter.
Don't forget emotionally manipulative inspirational sports movies which also touch on important sensitive subject matter. There's a whole Venn diagram here,
I saw Bollywood Patch Adams once. I didn't know that's what it was going in and the Patch Adams plot doesn't come in until the half-hour mark, so it was like watching this fun comedy and then getting hit in the face with a brick.
Sometimes I'll take off my jacket when Matt is doing his synopsis (I am never in the room for that) (I usually nap for a few minutes). A couple of times I've come back and forgotten due to a mixture of just waking up and comfort.
I thought you guys would catch Greg Sestero, from The Room, in the funeral scene. He's one of the two guys the elderly lady is clutching. You guys should watch The Evil Dead during October.
I thought when Matt was suggesting a better Patch he was going to say Michael Jeter, who also starred with Robin Williams in the Fisher King as the homeless Cabaret singer.
Vampire Girl is forever tops for me. I regularly sing "I'm a Little Dinosaur" to my boy. "The Morning of Our Lives" always gives me joy and hope. And then there's all the Modern Lovers stuff: particularly, Roadrunner, Girlfren, Government Center.
that something that i understand..! haha he is an amazing performer and no one sports a striped top better. i love hospital. thanks so much for the reply Craig!
To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar and The Birdcage, 2 of the finest comedies of all time and they came out only a year apart. SEEN THEM?
I haven't left a "Seen it" question in a while... And for once I have one with some personal analysis to make the comment more appealing. Seen it! The Adventures of Ford Fairlane with Andrew Dice Clay? My friends and I watched it recently on one of our "Questionable Movie Taste" Nights... My friend remembered watching it MUCH too young, and all of us agreed that 90% of the humor certainly didn't age well. Dice-man's Fairlane character was a Mary Sue type detective, who despite being horrible didn't seem to ever lose or learn from being a horrible person... and get's a happy ending. It'd be interesting to have seen it/read a review from when it came out... is this is Craig's book of reviews?
Hey, guys! I'm working my way through "Welcome to the Basement" from the beginning, but I still catch the new ones as they come out. (I loved Chad Vader and eHow with Hal.) Would you consider watching Mel Brooks' "Silent Movie," of have you SEEN IT?
Have you seen the movie "Some Guy Who Kills People"? It was a random find for me, and I found it funny, gruesome and weirdly moving. Also one of my favorite Barry Bostwick roles!
I like The Trip movies, because they kinda feel like a fun nothing, I don't know if that makes sense, but they're pleasant. You know what you're going to get with them-- drinking and some philosophy and quirky middle aged men banter, and sometimes I want that kind of movie. Also, once I realized that despite playing 'themselves' in it, the people circumstances and situations are complete fiction-- then it made it a lot more enjoyable for me.
Agree. I went into them blind and actually took it to be more "real life' than it was for most of the first movie.....it's a nice blur./blend of reality and fiction...and a good break from my usual serious thinking movies.
im surprised to hear so much criticism of this movie. i havent watched it since i was a teenager when it came out, but i recall it being fairly funny. on an interesting side note, my cousin did part of her nursing training working for the real patch adams and said he was an amazing person to get to know.
I never heard of him til I saw the Trip. I'd say sure, but I haven't seen him in anything else. I liked all 3, even though there are similarities, I find myself rewatching the funniest clips on youtube.
How about an episode or a segment of Seen It about reboots/remakes? Watch a remake of a movie you've already watched on the show, and then compare the two. Or just talk about movies where you've seen both the original and the remake. Have you seen the 2000 remake of Bedazzled directed by Harold Ramis, starring Brendan Fraser and Elizabeth Hurley?
During the cold open you both talk about how you were disappointed because you were on able to do something you wanted to do. Which I think is the only positive to having a favorite band where are they no longer exist and I never had the opportunity to see them live, and never will
I've met the real Patch a few times. He comes to speak at the Oregon Country Fair in my hometown annually. He's an intense dude. Also, I think my uncle was an extra as one of the "meat men".
The Trip "movies" are actually a 3 series TV show. Not movies. I know they have been packaged as such after the fact but they work far better as 30 minute episodes. I don't know why.
Bizarre! I had just sat down to watch this video, when a friend stopped by for a beer and I paused it. Friend asks how my day was. I had just heard from my elderly mother for the first time in two months. She was reluctant to call because she hadn't heard from me in so long and maybe I had decided to move and not tell her... and then medical problems. I spent half an hour explaining Nichols and May's Mother on the Phone bit. Nodding and commiseration all around. Friend has to go, "Bye Friend". I go back to watching this video for the first time and literally the next thing you talk about is that LP. What does this mean? P.S. Soylent Green is people. It's people.
I think it's worth saying that if someone did a lot of the goofy simple gags Patch did in this movie, in real life, it would at least put a smile on a lot of faces. That doesn't help the movie, of course.
im still so mad they made his close friend into a woman and added romance, its the worst fucking thing. idk why someone did this to a good man like Dr. Adams
I think it's interesting that Shadyac is known mostly for this bit of insufferable sanctimony and a bunch of more memorable Jim Carey films - who I think of as the comedic successor to Robin Williams. Largely I think Shadyac just needs to stay away from screenplays that have, you know ... feelings.
I don't know how you expect to really review a movie, especially an emotional one, when all you do is joke around through the whole thing. I bet you both would have been sobbing like babies had you just gotten into the movie and watched it. Is this movie a tearjerker? Yes, it is supposed to be and there is nothing wrong with that.
Christ I hate all of The Trip films. Rob Brydon's pathological need to do the exact same handful of impressions is so infuriating. Trying to show you can act? Impression! Trying to one up a rival/friend? Impression! Talking to your wife? Impression! Trying to seduce someone? Impression! Doing literally anything ever? Impression!
Almost choked to death on the 'I wanna show you my boys' line. Knew I shouldn't have been eating while watching a WttB. Well played Matt, well played.
second this
I love this show in its entirety but I think this was one of the best episodes yet. 10/10 riffing all around!
"There's a painting montage, so I guess that means it's sterile."
The shotgun murder was real, but it was a male friend of Patch's who was killed.
CinemaFanatic Productions so basically they threw in a contrived relationship... because... why??
And thats what makes this movie so loathesome. They took a real friend of his, a MURDERED one no less, and made a cheap romantic subplot out of it. Utterly disrespectful.
@@Forkliftdance it is real dumb because he met his wife in his final year of med school and could have just made the character be her and not murder her
When Craig had the foam nose on his chin, he was nearly Soul Patch Adams.
I kinda liked this movie when I watched it a long time ago, but I... couldn't tell you why. Your riffing this episode is particularly hysterical.
"sometimes the best decision is poverty" I'm definitely using that line xD
I have been making the best decision my entire adult life.
God bless you fine gentleman, who bring me so much joy:
"Chekov's noodles have finally been cooked".
Yes. I also love My Favorite Year. Great film. Hillarious, warm and full of wonderful performances.
"Karin" in real life, the person who helped him open the free hospital was a man who patch had no sexual relationship with.
Idk if it's just me but every single remark Craig makes is absolutely hilarious lol
Craig was on FIRE in this episode!
"I was expecting merely a rape" lol omg xD
Karin didn't even exist in real life...
According to Wikipedia (so take that for what it's worth)
"One is that the character of Carin is fictional, but is analogous to a real life friend of Adams (a man) who was murdered under similar circumstances."
So... she wasn't real, but the murder/suicide part at least sort of happened similarly? Ugh. That's still gross that they made up a love interest to get murdered.
wow thats amazing
Black Hawk Omega Imagine being the real Patch Adams watching this movie where they have you fuck a gender-reversed version of your real dead friend
@@k.d.noodle6196 he's on record hating this movie because it also missed his message. He believes in humanizing medicine, but he also put in the real work and believes in the importance of medical school. He also never stole supplies
This is one of my favorite “bad cheesy” films to watch and make fun of, I’m glad you guys felt the same. Craig’s jokes and comments get better each episode as well!
Thank you guys for introducing me to Koyaanisqatsi! One of my favorite films now~
I laughed harder than I should have at the Verne Troyer joke.
Patch Adams had a male friend who was murdered, not a female friend nor was she even a real life person in his story. Hearing the real Patch Adams talk about his disdain about this film is the best thing about this.
I enjoyed this film in 98. At the time, I wanted to be a doctor. I also enjoy schmaltz and LOVE puns.
Now, I couldn't give a-dams... :)
Thanks for another great episode guys!
I think sanctimonious feel-good emotionally manipulative Hollywood dramedy might be my least favourite type of film.
It's also so hard to critique these sort of films because they're often about an important or sensitive subject matter. So, when you critique them, people think you don't care about the core subject. Rather than seeing that I actually do care, because I don't want this bad movie filled with falsehoods to represent that subject matter.
Mine is inspirational sports movies, but films like Patch Adams is right up there. Or down there.
Yeah, I hate these cynical movies that seem to exist just to win Oscars.
Don't forget emotionally manipulative inspirational sports movies which also touch on important sensitive subject matter. There's a whole Venn diagram here,
oh man I was just thinking of My Favorite Year last week. need to rewatch that
I saw Bollywood Patch Adams once. I didn't know that's what it was going in and the Patch Adams plot doesn't come in until the half-hour mark, so it was like watching this fun comedy and then getting hit in the face with a brick.
Craig in just a t-shirt makes me weirdly uncomfortable. I feel like we just wandered into his house or something.
Sometimes I'll take off my jacket when Matt is doing his synopsis (I am never in the room for that) (I usually nap for a few minutes). A couple of times I've come back and forgotten due to a mixture of just waking up and comfort.
Excellent episode, gents: you guys were firing on all pistons in that commentary.
Craig's reaction at 15:43 had me in literal non liposuctioned tears
I thought you guys would catch Greg Sestero, from The Room, in the funeral scene. He's one of the two guys the elderly lady is clutching.
You guys should watch The Evil Dead during October.
Hey hey! I wasn't expecting a Polish poster for that Leningrad Cowboys movie. :D
"sometimes the best decision is poverty" lmao
I thought when Matt was suggesting a better Patch he was going to say Michael Jeter, who also starred with Robin Williams in the Fisher King as the homeless Cabaret singer.
Craig is on fire in this episode... in fact he's doing too well. i think he's cheating. HE MAKES MATT'S EFFORT A JOKE!!!!
Just realized the noodles lady is also the meatballs lady from The Wedding Singer.... hmmm..
I don't have the patients for this, sorry. 👍
Sir, you need to have a license to practice these kinds of medical puns.
@@calvinjluther I'll have to nurse my wounds after such cutting remarks..........
Hey, you've seen my "Seen It!" Sweet!
craig i love jonathan richmond too!! what are your favourite tunes by him? :)
Vampire Girl is forever tops for me. I regularly sing "I'm a Little Dinosaur" to my boy. "The Morning of Our Lives" always gives me joy and hope. And then there's all the Modern Lovers stuff: particularly, Roadrunner, Girlfren, Government Center.
And he is the best live performer I've ever seen. And I've seen Th'Legendary Shack Shakers twice, so that's saying something.
that something that i understand..! haha he is an amazing performer and no one sports a striped top better. i love hospital. thanks so much for the reply Craig!
To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar and The Birdcage, 2 of the finest comedies of all time and they came out only a year apart. SEEN THEM?
9:21 lady runs backwards. Whats up with that?
I haven't left a "Seen it" question in a while...
And for once I have one with some personal analysis to make the comment more appealing.
Seen it! The Adventures of Ford Fairlane with Andrew Dice Clay?

the tear extraction was most enjoyable
Just like I used to wait all week for The Sopranos, I wait all fortnight for this show.
Greetings from Asbury Park!
Ooh! You guys should watch "Back to School" with Rodney Dangerfield next! Great movie!
It sounded as if they had seen it though? And isn't the premise of this show to watch movies that Matt hasn't seen?
Hey, guys! I'm working my way through "Welcome to the Basement" from the beginning, but I still catch the new ones as they come out. (I loved Chad Vader and eHow with Hal.) Would you consider watching Mel Brooks' "Silent Movie," of have you SEEN IT?
Loved the movie as a kid, and I just refuse to rewatch it as an adult. I want to keep the magic I had towards the film as a child.
Have you seen "Moron Movies" ? I remember that one from the Blockbuster VHS days.
Have you seen the movie "Some Guy Who Kills People"? It was a random find for me, and I found it funny, gruesome and weirdly moving. Also one of my favorite Barry Bostwick roles!
I’m ready!
Johnathan Richman was in Kingpin!
That's right.
I look past my fingers and still see only 4
Do you have two working eyes?
I like The Trip movies, because they kinda feel like a fun nothing, I don't know if that makes sense, but they're pleasant. You know what you're going to get with them-- drinking and some philosophy and quirky middle aged men banter, and sometimes I want that kind of movie.

Aww I love this moviie!
18:40 there was no Corin.
Seen it: 13 ghosts?
It’s amazing
Never seen Rob Brydon in anything but English talkshows - would the "Trip" series be a good start?
I never heard of him til I saw the Trip. I'd say sure, but I haven't seen him in anything else. I liked all 3, even though there are similarities, I find myself rewatching the funniest clips on youtube.
Have either of you seen "ENTER THE VOID" ????
What are you looking at Mat???
Tona was making noise
Thank you Mat.
How about an episode or a segment of Seen It about reboots/remakes? Watch a remake of a movie you've already watched on the show, and then compare the two. Or just talk about movies where you've seen both the original and the remake.
Have you seen the 2000 remake of Bedazzled directed by Harold Ramis, starring Brendan Fraser and Elizabeth Hurley?
You and Red leter and media make youtube what it is!
I agree. Both my favorite critic channels.
Patch Adams is like a mediocre Awakenings (1990) with Robin Williams & Robert De Niro
During the cold open you both talk about how you were disappointed because you were on able to do something you wanted to do. Which I think is the only positive to having a favorite band where are they no longer exist and I never had the opportunity to see them live, and never will
I've met the real Patch a few times. He comes to speak at the Oregon Country Fair in my hometown annually. He's an intense dude.
Also, I think my uncle was an extra as one of the "meat men".
A DVD with the wrong aspect ration? Is that actually a thing?
What was Matt looking at?
Earnesto's Ghost, "..an entire pool.... full of noodles." Nice. (Tuco kissing necklace then ritualistic crossing motions).
The Trip "movies" are actually a 3 series TV show. Not movies. I know they have been packaged as such after the fact but they work far better as 30 minute episodes. I don't know why.
ENTER THE VOID, ENTER THE VOID, ENTER THE VOID!!!!!!!!!

Ever seen David Lynch’s Dune?
look at the boys
You boys ever seen Finnish movie The Tough Ones?
If you have i would like to hear you'r opinions.
What's it about?
But hey, Greg Sestero is in this!!
Seen it: what Dreams may come
8:45 I got a reference!
i laughed... but i was a kid when i first watched this movie
imagine a free hospitable, impossible, only every other developed country has them
If someone flies you out and puts you up, don’t you have an obligation?
Leningrad Cowboys is awesome
I think it's worth saying that if someone did a lot of the goofy simple gags Patch did in this movie, in real life, it would at least put a smile on a lot of faces. That doesn't help the movie, of course.
Although this episode is hilarious I had trouble watching, because of how much I hate this movie.
I haven't made it to the see it part of the video....but once again I proclaim.....Monster Squad!!!!!!
A seen it where Matt hasn't seen it Craig you crazy son of a bitch
craig is soul patch adams =p
A rough patch.
im still so mad they made his close friend into a woman and added romance, its the worst fucking thing. idk why someone did this to a good man like Dr. Adams
Hoffman is dead. Williams is dead. Jeter is dead. Bill Macy is still living. Life is fragile. Enjoy it while it lasts.
I fucking despise this movie, I do not hold anything against Williams for being in this movie but this is a farce of a great man's life.
I thought you guys closed up shop, come to find out RUclips just decided I should he unsubbed from you. Isn't that great?
Don't like that. But not to worry: we're here for you every other Friday. Or every Friday if you enjoy Unboxing.

never liked this movie
