Burgess Meredith was a damn national treasure, lol. Pretty much the entire cast is, but his antics and outtakes just blew away everyone else in both movies, lol.
I read that one of the crew had written lines for Burgess Meredith so he can do his lines knowing he was suffering Alzheimer's Disease. This movie was his last before his death in 1997 at the age of 89.
@@MrTech226 from what I’ve heard it was done at BM’s request….. he knew he was dying and wanted the chance to say thank you and goodbye to everyone (not just the actors writers and fans of this franchise but everyone throughout his very long career) he also didn’t want the franchise to falter because of his real life death without his character dying
"I know I'm no great prize, but I'm loyal, I'm honest, and I know how to treat a lady." I love that line. It was that moment when Max really took John's advice and was just himself. Not goofy and awkward trying to impress her. Just honest and open.
“I hate little notes on my pillow. Like this morning. ‘We’re all out of cornflakes. F.U.’ It took me three hours to figure out ‘F.U.’ was Felix Unger!”
When Pops died, it wasn't a shocking, out of the blue moment. He went peacefully, probably in his sleep, in an idyllic setting. It was a gentle moment, not a heartwrenching one.
If we are talking about Burgess Meredith that wonderful man was in like at least 42 movies. In real life he was in World War II in the Air Force as a Captain. In the 1978 Chevy Chase, Goldie Hawn movie "Foul Play" Burgess Meredith has a real knock out drag out amazing fight scene in it.
Speaking of World War II there is an excellent B&W short film he did around World War 2 advising visiting US servicemen on the dos and donts when visiting an English pub….
When I first saw this whenever it was rentable (either 95 or 96) Pop's death was the first time a movie ever made me cry. I was around 14-15 so I didn't put it together that him saying at the beginning "I think God forgot about me." was foreshadowing anything (I wasn't as well versed in movies as I am today) so that came out of nowhere for me and hit me like a ton of bricks.
Another good movie starring Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau is “The Fortune Cookie (1966). Matthau won his first Academy Award for it. Also another movie you should watch (if you haven’t already) is “The Batman Movie (1966)” in which Burgess Meredith plays The Penguin.
Grumpy Old Men and Grumpier Old Men compliment each other wonderfully, right down to the change of season. That chemistry between Lemmon and Matthau was magic.
I was about 12 when this movie came out. I actually memorized the entire speech Burgess Meredith made about outliving the health experts. He was easily my favorite thing about this movie. As for which one's better... it's honestly about even for me. I love em both.
Emily: Since you enjoy Burgess Meredith so much, you really might love the movie Foul Play. First of all, the leads are Chevy Chase and Goldie Hawn, who are really quite good together. And then there's Burgess, as the landlord of Goldie's building, and he's very good in this. A character full of surprises. And overall it's just a fun movie, with adventure and mysteries and twists. Chevy and Goldie were also the leads in Seems Like Old Times, another highly entertaining flick from the 80s.
I love the Grumpy Old Men movies. The 2 Grumpy Old Men movies have a certain, lovely, warm charm to them. For example, I love how the scenery of the state of Minnesota is practically a co-star. In Grumpy Old Men we get to see how nice Minnesota looks with all that snow and ice. And in Grumpier Old Men we get to see what it looks like underneath all that snow and ice. Just beautiful. The small hometown feel also really adds to the charm. Makes one want to move there to live and hopefully have Max, John, Pop, and Ariel (and all the others) as neighbors.
Walter Matthau and Jack Lemon were a great comedy couple... just like Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder were... The chemistry between some actors / comedians. Oh, even the cast of The Cannonball Run... You can tell when a comedy cast enjoy each others company... I really wish there were more of this type and slap stick comedy content in our current times... You two are great and I can't help but laugh along with you...
So glad to see you guys are back. Missed you guys....Great reaction as always.... hopefully you will see "The Odd Couple" part 1 and 2...and also "Out To Sea" was a funny one starting these two....
Burgess Meredith was suffering from severe Alzheimers and had to be coached on his lines during this movie. I read that was part of the reason they wrote Pops death into the movie.
@@robertsmith3883 it’s true actually except, perhaps, for the severe part. This was his last movie and he died less than two years after it’s release, of Alzheimer’s.
Until I went back and seen the credits, I didn’t realize that Jack Lemon’s dad was played by Burgess Meredith, the same guy that played Mickey in Rocky! His last movie, as he died less than two years later
I love them both but I like the first one better as well. I think it’s because with the first one you didn’t know what to expect and the irreverence was a shock. #title - a man who really knows how to flik. I love you guys, you’re so fun!
How does video get auto generated captions? I’m trying to figure out how that works, do they pop up or being added as option after a while? Been waiting to watch this but as deaf user i relied on captions to understand what reactors is saying I know auto generated captions isn’t 100% correct Just was wondering how it works that’s all, or does creators enable it before uploading?
If no one mentioned it the lady that is Burgess Meredith's love interest in this movie was Millie from the Dick Van Dyke show. Played the neighbor with her dentist husband.
I haven’t seen the movie since it first came out. I was 18, so I got the jokes, but I totally forgot how many gut busting jokes it had. I can’t think of a recent movie that had so many solid laughs in such a short time. Great pick.
If you like Burgess Meredith, you should check out "A Big Hand for the Little Lady". It's a great movie with a number of stars from the 60s. Burgess has a small, but important roll in this film.
Watch "Of Mice and Men" to see a young Burgess Meredith in a classic film. Plus, if you only know Lon Chaney jr. as The Wolfman, you're in for a surprise. Heart-rending story by John Steinbeck.
I wounded if pippin will ever give a film the full 20 Beans?! Also nothing to do with the movie, Burgees Meredith did some G.I film during WW2 on how to behave and what to expect in Britain for those posted over here. ❤
I liked this movie as well, but some of the jokes seemed recycled. The last movie Lemmon and Matthau appeared in was the Odd Couple II (which by the way was ok). There is also a movie called My Fellow Americans that was written to star Lemmon and Matthau but Matthau was unable to appear in the movie, so James Garner took his place. My Fellow Americans was a decent comedy/thriller movie
Got a movie that is possibly one neither of you have seen. "STUDENT BODIES" 1981. I've only found a couple of people that have seen it. Low budget horror comedy, heavy on the comedy.
it's sad that burgess Meredith passed away 2 years after this movie came out . jack lemmon passed away 6 years later from bladder cancer and walter matthau passed away 5 years later
If you want a FUN Ann Margaret movie. "THE VILLAIN" with her and Arnold Schwarzeneggar in his first Hollywood production movie in which he is dubbed because he could hardly speak English. Kirk Douglas is The VIllain and its about the stereotypes its a Road Runner vs Coyote story come to life. I hope you see this I know this is from a year ago. It is totally up your alley.

Fact's
I read that one of the crew had written lines for Burgess Meredith so he can do his lines knowing he was suffering Alzheimer's Disease. This movie was his last before his death in 1997 at the age of 89.
I believed that script made it for Burgess' Pop die in this movie due to his health issues.

When it comes to the elder statesmen of film Burgess Meredith and Wilford Brimley are my favorites, along with Lemon and Matthau.
"I know I'm no great prize, but I'm loyal, I'm honest, and I know how to treat a lady." I love that line. It was that moment when Max really took John's advice and was just himself. Not goofy and awkward trying to impress her. Just honest and open.
Jack Lemon is such a great actor. The look of pain on his face when he finds Burgess Meredith’s character dead looks so real.
"Looks like God remembered you pop."
Might be the saddest line in movie history.
R.I.P. to the incredible Jack Lemmon, Walter Matthau and Burgess Meredith, all three were awesome in both of the Grumpy Old Men films.😂👍
I love Matthau and Lemon together. The Odd Couple is one of my all time favorite comedies. But their "grumpy" movies are awesome as well.
“I hate little notes on my pillow. Like this morning. ‘We’re all out of cornflakes. F.U.’ It took me three hours to figure out ‘F.U.’ was Felix Unger!”
When Pops died, it wasn't a shocking, out of the blue moment. He went peacefully, probably in his sleep, in an idyllic setting.
It was a gentle moment, not a heartwrenching one.
It was sad but peaceful
Burgess was such an amazing talent. God, I miss him.

Rip To Burgess Meredith,Jack Lemmon & Walter Matthau,We Still Miss You Guy's

Burgess meredith is the best thing about this movie, it's a shame he didn't have more screen time. He was comedic gold
They were already pretty much coaching him due to his advancing Alzheimer's. They were lucky to get what they did out of him.
Another good movie starring Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau is “The Fortune Cookie (1966). Matthau won his first Academy Award for it. Also another movie you should watch (if you haven’t already) is “The Batman Movie (1966)” in which Burgess Meredith plays The Penguin.
Grumpy Old Men and Grumpier Old Men compliment each other wonderfully, right down to the change of season. That chemistry between Lemmon and Matthau was magic.
I was hoping you would get to this one. Pops Gustavsson remains my spirit animal.
The line "Looks like God remembered you pops" hits me. The way it was delivered as almost a whisper, damn.
I was about 12 when this movie came out. I actually memorized the entire speech Burgess Meredith made about outliving the health experts. He was easily my favorite thing about this movie. As for which one's better... it's honestly about even for me. I love em both.
I enjoyed both the same. This was a good follow-up to the 1st one. They did another movie together called Out to Sea.
Berges meradeth was an awesome actor known 4 rocky films as mick

1:00 I can't believe they missed the opportunity to say: "Matthew has seen things you people wouldn't believe." :) Great reaction, guys.
I love the Grumpy Old Men movies. The 2 Grumpy Old Men movies have a certain, lovely, warm charm to them. For example, I love how the scenery of the state of Minnesota is practically a co-star.

The small hometown feel also really adds to the charm. Makes one want to move there to live and hopefully have Max, John, Pop, and Ariel (and all the others) as neighbors.
I love it. I tuned in at the grading and heard her laugh. 😍😍😍
"I thought she was the only fish you wanted to mount" went straight to this
"I thought you said he was dead?"
"NO, I said he sleeps with the fishes"
Another favorite Matthau movie of mine is the original Bad News Bears....
Love seeing your reactions to one of my all time favorite Movie's Emily
Walter Matthau and Jack Lemon were a great comedy couple... just like Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder were... The chemistry between some actors / comedians. Oh, even the cast of The Cannonball Run...

The Odd Couple is one of my all time favorite comedies. But Lemon and Matthau are always a great match up.
Burgess Meredith was suffering from severe Alzheimers and had to be coached on his lines during this movie. I read that was part of the reason they wrote Pops death into the movie.
Total bulcrap
@@robertsmith3883 it’s true actually except, perhaps, for the severe part. This was his last movie and he died less than two years after it’s release, of Alzheimer’s.
Definitely recommend "Big Fish" if you haven't seen it already
So many legends in this, shame all the guys have passed.
The outtakes are just as good as the movie.
I watched this movie with my dad and I thought HE was going to die laughing at the Burgess Meredith outtakes.
@12:42. Thanks for pointing out the obvious.
Hahahahahahahahahahaha
Pretty please. With sugar on top. Watch ‘The Odd Couple’.
Hope y’all are well! Thanks for the reactions! :)
I grew up and still live in the area where this movie was filmed. I just got back today from a weekend on my brothers houseboat on Lake Pepin.
Best Sequel Ever
It's not Swedish, it's Finnish. But close enough. :)
Grumpy Old Men and the sequel will always be classics
If you like them you should watch the odd couple one and two
Rest In Peace to all the funny old actors in this movie; Burgess, Jack and Walter.
If you like these movies with them you should check out 'Out to sea' it's funny too :D
The bakery scene was filmed in my old neighborhood. I watched on as the crew was filming.
9:49 Cue "The Odd Couple" theme to start playing...
Until I went back and seen the credits, I didn’t realize that Jack Lemon’s dad was played by Burgess Meredith, the same guy that played Mickey in Rocky! His last movie, as he died less than two years later
She is totally going to cry.
I'm sure someone else mentioned it but Burgess Meredith was going through dementia while working on this film and needed coaching
I just love this one for the oldest guy's pick up lines. 😂
I think if you guys like this one, you'll also like My Fellow Americans. 😁
I love them both but I like the first one better as well. I think it’s because with the first one you didn’t know what to expect and the irreverence was a shock. #title - a man who really knows how to flik. I love you guys, you’re so fun!
"Looks like God remembered you, Pop.'
A great underrated 80s movie staring Jude Nelson called From the Hip
Cool reaction as always Emily & Matthew, you both take care
The Cast is so perfect in this. I hope to live old enough so I can start acting like Burgess Meredith in this film...
How does video get auto generated captions? I’m trying to figure out how that works, do they pop up or being added as option after a while? Been waiting to watch this but as deaf user i relied on captions to understand what reactors is saying I know auto generated captions isn’t 100% correct

Played the neighbor with her dentist husband.
Such great actors. Walter and Jack, so good.
I agree, I love the first one better. This one is still good but first is better.
18:30- that blue power Ranger grew up to be Milton in "Office Space"
And I KNEW you were gonna love those ending credits😂
I haven’t seen the movie since it first came out. I was 18, so I got the jokes, but I totally forgot how many gut busting jokes it had. I can’t think of a recent movie that had so many solid laughs in such a short time. Great pick.
"I find you disgusting!"
"Just as long as you find me, dear 😉"
I'm sure it's on your list.
Just thought I'd mention...
The odd couple.
Sofia Loren is just ao beautiful!! And yes these guys are just too funny!
So glad you had the outtakes at the end! 🤣
Amazing actors God bless their soul wherever they are 🙏🏻.
Now it's time to watch 'My Fellow Americans'
If you like Burgess Meredith, you should check out "A Big Hand for the Little Lady". It's a great movie with a number of stars from the 60s. Burgess has a small, but important roll in this film.
Great film.
….. the end credits blooper reel yet again was hilarious so funny 😆
Watch "Of Mice and Men" to see a young Burgess Meredith in a classic film. Plus, if you only know Lon Chaney jr. as The Wolfman, you're in for a surprise. Heart-rending story by John Steinbeck.
When i saw the name Lon Chaney Jr, i immediately thought he was the Phantom of the Opera, but I wrong. That was his father
I wounded if pippin will ever give a film the full 20 Beans?!
Also nothing to do with the movie, Burgees Meredith did some G.I film during WW2 on how to behave and what to expect in Britain for those posted over here. ❤
Louis Prima rocks. And, Burgess Meredith s hilarious.
I liked this movie as well, but some of the jokes seemed recycled.
The last movie Lemmon and Matthau appeared in was the Odd Couple II (which by the way was ok).
There is also a movie called My Fellow Americans that was written to star Lemmon and Matthau but Matthau was unable to appear in the movie, so James Garner took his place. My Fellow Americans was a decent comedy/thriller movie
If like these I would highly recommend the odd couple one and two. Same actors and the same great cemetery
Is Odd Couple on the list?
Or, the Front Page?
Or, the Fortune Cookie?
Are there any more Matthau/Lemmon movies in the future is what I’m asking.
You should add the 1976 Bad News Bears to your movie list.
Got a movie that is possibly one neither of you have seen. "STUDENT BODIES" 1981. I've only found a couple of people that have seen it. Low budget horror comedy, heavy on the comedy.
Bacon. A whole damn plate.
I love love LOVE this movie. The outtakes are hilarious btw.
You have to watch both, Pops was the best
it's sad that burgess Meredith passed away 2 years after this movie came out . jack lemmon passed away 6 years later from bladder cancer and walter matthau passed away 5 years later
Next on the Matthau-Lemmon movies: The Odd Couple
the actress who played Marie mom was born in minnesota
Imakindakinky... that's a great name for an island
Pippin is the best.
You guys should watch Dennis the Menace
Did you ever watch Time Bandits?
13:34 Shiiiiiiiiiit, that get you fucked up faster for half the price. O.G. was thinking economically on how to get that ass. 😅😅😂
I liked the second one better
That is funny as hell 😂😂
#The Wizard of Wonderful Films
4:59 Foreshadowing 😒😭
“Only the brave” based on a real event
You should take the dude out of the equation. Was he playing on his phone, or just watching the floor? This reaction is a 2 out of 10
If you want a FUN Ann Margaret movie. "THE VILLAIN" with her and Arnold Schwarzeneggar in his first Hollywood production movie in which he is dubbed because he could hardly speak English. Kirk Douglas is The VIllain and its about the stereotypes its a Road Runner vs Coyote story come to life. I hope you see this I know this is from a year ago. It is totally up your alley.
Willie Tanner!!!
I’d check out out to sea or odd couple ii 😁
Do cabin boy!!!
Try Dennis the Menace with Walter Matthau
Puts is a word you don't hear enough these days. Lol
"well just as long as you find me my dear" 😢💔🥺 can someone find me?
Emily really wanted that little girl to wake up to a corpse?
