Every episode of this show deserves to be framed and cherished, but this one in particular was a delight. Every joke had me cracking up. My stomach hurt by the end!
I have never seen this movie, but it seems strange... I laughed so much though when Craig said "I'd be cutting a window into the wall" and a "Craig shaped hole would be there" - great episode, guys!
It's interesting that Marty is the least viewed episode this season; I've watched it at least five times, because it just makes me really happy. In any case, I will continue to watch and enjoy the show, so keep 'em coming :)
Have you guys seen the 1959 classic "Some like it Hot"? It's probably my favorite black and white movie and I always laugh a little bit when I watch it.
We had some technical difficulties with Craig's camera and we were in a time crunch, so for the opening Craig was shot with an iphone. Luckily Tona fixed the problem and his shot looks better in the discussion (I get the feeling I'll be explaining this a lot)
Yes, you don't wait to take them until you want to have sex. They're not little womb condoms. On the other hand, it's an interesting artifact of the times. Could a male director be so clueless today, and the actresses be so powerless/uninterested that the script didn't change? I hope not.
You dudes are always the whipped cream and cherry on the sundae that is my week. Sometimes that sundae is a shit sundae, but your whipped cream is always sweet and fresh, and your cherry is always firm and red. I'll let you two decide who is the cream and who is the cherry. Stay gold.
Hey friendos, have you watched the 2014 film Young Ones starring the great Michael Shannon? I just watched it and found it to be an interesting parable that was very nicely put together. I took a look-see through your web site and don't think it's been mentioned yet.
Craig, referring to your stance on Elliot Gould, I was never that big of a fan of him either. However, I did enjoy him in a little remembered gem called The Silent Partner (1978) - not the typical Gould performance. Have you seen it? - if not you should because its one of those great Hitchcock films that Hitchcock never made. Its cat-and-mouse thriller between Gould, who plays a meek banker, and Christopher Plummer, who plays a complete psychopathic robber. There's a scene with Plummer just looking through a mail slot in a door that is absolutely chilling - all you see are his eyes, nothing happens but the mere hint of violence in those eyes are more frightening than any gory horror scene.
I doubt you haven't seen Bridge on the River Kwai, but if not, it's an amazing film. And think of all the whistling of the theme you could do! Also: Kieslowski's Blue. Another of those slow burn films that have a huge payoff.
I've been binge watching your show for a bit and needless to say, I'm hooked. anyway, can't remember which one but I remember an episode where Craig thought of a terminator movie with two schwarzeneggers. have you guys ever seen the sixth day? it's not terminator but if you want to see Arnold vs Arnold, that's it.
I can't help but think this movie might be a critique of the Free Love movement in the 60s. Even the characters who are on board with the whole idea aren't truly into it and the ending seems to be saying something along the lines of "there's more to people than just sex". That's my two cents. Great review as always. I'm tempted to make an entire movie just so i could get you guys to cameo in it.
Heard it? Though I'm a prog-rock super-fan (ie. Rush, Dream Theater) take another listen to Michael Jackson's "Off the Wall". Considering all the instruments are actually played (not computerized) gives more eyebrow-raising approval. Produced by Quincy Jones and arguably better than both The Doobie Brother's "Best of the Doobies" 1976, and Jethro Tull's "Songs from the Wood [Remaster]" in instrument-piece isolation. I wanted to add that "Norwegian Wood" was actually about Lenon burning down an apartment of a girl in revenge because she wouldn't sleep with him that night, the "wood" is her furniture. He wrote it because he wanted to sort-of explain he cheated on his first wife at-the-time, Cynthia "without actually telling her". This actually happened.
Just had a weird flashback - in that same thrift store, maybe the same visit, they also had Rod Stewart's "Blondes Have More Fun" (back of album - "or do they?").
I like a lot of the interactions matt ane craig had in this one, two dudes laughing at stupid shit, reminds me of when i watch/ talk movies with my friends. Also...Was craig drunk or high or both during this episode? Was there a reason behind his giddyness? And what the hell was the album behind craig...i recognise it but i dont know why...i think my dad had it.
+BlameSociety Mac and Me is the funniest episode! I worked at McDonald's when this movie came out. They loved targeting their younger customers back then.
as someone who lives in Las Vegas, I appreciate Matt not saying it. Thank you, Matt. Great episode though, guys. Craig seemed to be enjoying himself quite a bit during this one.
You said that ''Marty '' was the lowest, but what sort of numbers have shifted since you put this-here link up in the opening ? Statistics time! It's like a game, but without a goal. Or Fun.
chocolate ready, savory snack ready, meat based snack ready, cold drink ready, hot drink ready, alcoholic drink ready, blanket ready, in my seat in the correct position, time to watch welcome to the basement! do you guys have any pre, post or during movie rituals or rules?
7:52 that rug really tied the room together! I'm surprised you didn't make a joke about peeing on the rug, dudes! I like the jokes but I was wanting you to cut back and critique more; seemed like it warranted it.
I would be interested in a remake of this but set in modern times. two everyday, urban, young couples awkwardly trying to have this so called "awakening". I don't know, I'd watch it.
When Matt first started talking about watching a movie about sex, I was terrified that it might end up being Harold and Maude. In sophomore year of college I had an old hippie teacher for English class and she showed us that film. I was not prepared for what I witnessed, and to this day I refuse to ever watch that film again.
Ugh. I'm not a fan of late 60's 'comedies* like this and The Graduate. While visually they are pretty good (especially the ending of The Graduate), the characters are insufferable.
Even in the 60's people had to look at the graduate and yell at the screen. You can't write a character to make deliberately bad decisions for most of the movie.
Bob and Carol and Ted and Alice
and me, Stu!
Marty is one of my favourite episodes you guys have done. Craig's happiness is contagious.
I'm glad this movie is getting some recognition. It captured its era so well.
I just wish this show was on twice a week.. Can't get enough.
I can't watch Robert Culp without imagining him asking "What's the scenario?" to William Katt in his GAH tights. :D
Every episode of this show deserves to be framed and cherished, but this one in particular was a delight. Every joke had me cracking up. My stomach hurt by the end!
I have waited two weeks to see the best show on RUclips. Matt & Craig have truly made my Friday much better.
I have never seen this movie, but it seems strange... I laughed so much though when Craig said "I'd be cutting a window into the wall" and a "Craig shaped hole would be there" - great episode, guys!
I love how Craig and Matt make each other genuinely laugh at each other. You can tell they are really good friends.
am I crazy or does it look like craig's shots were filmed on VHS?
Scroll down for explanation
Ah, I found it. Thanks!
It's interesting that Marty is the least viewed episode this season; I've watched it at least five times, because it just makes me really happy. In any case, I will continue to watch and enjoy the show, so keep 'em coming :)
You guys were on FIRE!! (especially Craig) This episode is definitely in my top 3.
What are the other two?
I've seen "The Wrong Box" too! It's really a film about British eccentricity---and all about the secondary characters.
Great stuff as always. Thanks fellas.
She had an affair with Horst! Was it Horst Buchholz? Magnificent Seven. Episode 19. Yea. I watch this show a bunch.
naked craig bit made me literally lol while watching this episode at work
Sex, drugs, and rock n roll? Demonetized!
Have you guys seen the 1959 classic "Some like it Hot"? It's probably my favorite black and white movie and I always laugh a little bit when I watch it.
Mine is the corn is green
You daffy boys.
Great episode once again.
I owned R.E.M.'s monster, loved it...
Another great episode, guys. Always glad to see a new episode.
I would love it if in Fallout lore, it was cannon that this is how the Institute studied human behavior to program synths.
I give this episode 5 BAGS of POPCORN and 2 BAGS of SODA!
Why does craig's shot look like it was shot on tape?
We had some technical difficulties with Craig's camera and we were in a time crunch, so for the opening Craig was shot with an iphone. Luckily Tona fixed the problem and his shot looks better in the discussion (I get the feeling I'll be explaining this a lot)
Also Matt's camera's frame rate looks kinda weird sometimes.
Oh, that's cool! I don't have a problem with it, it just kinda stood out. Thanks for the explanation.
It's always Craig's camera. It's like you make sure you have the best tech and Craig gets the hand me downs. lol
I made a wish and it was immediately realised, that's gratification for you.
Jim Henson's "The Cube." Seen it? Super surreal and not a puppet in sight!
The Ohio Players album in the background, one of my favorite sexy album cover/insert artwork😻😻😻😻
20:58 you guys made my day, Love the show. Keep up the great work
go on guys, do 'The Devils' (1971)
Aw. The Willy Wonka joke made me sad. RIP
You guys choose very interesting movies to feature!!
That's not how birth control pills work. lol
You are correct
Yes, you don't wait to take them until you want to have sex. They're not little womb condoms.
On the other hand, it's an interesting artifact of the times. Could a male director be so clueless today, and the actresses be so powerless/uninterested that the script didn't change? I hope not.
Matt and Craig I keep posting this in the hopes that one day you will see it, but you guys should really see Seven Psychopaths. It's a great movie.
I've only just heard samples of that REM album on AllMusic, and it does sound really good.
Great Quasi t-shirt Craig.
Have you guys saw the bridge over the river Kwai. It's a pretty good film
Craig looks like he was placed in this episode digitally. As always, great episode guys and girl.
Scroll down for explanation
Horst!!! *dies* You guys are great! Have you seen Singham?
I have that same Dean Martin CD! Also, "Mr. Holmes" with Ian McKellen - Seen it?
You dudes are always the whipped cream and cherry on the sundae that is my week. Sometimes that sundae is a shit sundae, but your whipped cream is always sweet and fresh, and your cherry is always firm and red. I'll let you two decide who is the cream and who is the cherry. Stay gold.
Oh, the days when Elliott Gould was a sex symbol...
ah 3 part special this could have been the perfect chance for the three flavors series
Nice Mad Men reference :)
Hey friendos, have you watched the 2014 film Young Ones starring the great Michael Shannon? I just watched it and found it to be an interesting parable that was very nicely put together. I took a look-see through your web site and don't think it's been mentioned yet.
Since we're on the subject of psychopaths with huge grins, have you seen Mr Sardonicus?
This episode was completely hilarious guys! wow. Have you seen True Lies? My favorite Schwarzenegger film!
Craig, referring to your stance on Elliot Gould, I was never that big of a fan of him either. However, I did enjoy him in a little remembered gem called The Silent Partner (1978) - not the typical Gould performance.

really surprised with Alfie I thought most people like that film well as a brit it was a classic growing up.
One of their best episodes (partly because of the disturbing Santa Claus sequence)
I love Quasi.
the thumbnail is hilarious :)
I doubt you haven't seen Bridge on the River Kwai, but if not, it's an amazing film. And think of all the whistling of the theme you could do!
Also: Kieslowski's Blue. Another of those slow burn films that have a huge payoff.
You should do a Gene Wilder movie in his honor. A giant in comedy has left us. May he rest in peace.
Really hope the next one is Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, if you guys haven't seen it
Another great episode guys! So, drugs or rock n' roll next time? And what will it be? *Insert Dramatic Music Here*
alternate opening for the shining in this movie
I've been binge watching your show for a bit and needless to say, I'm hooked. anyway, can't remember which one but I remember an episode where Craig thought of a terminator movie with two schwarzeneggers. have you guys ever seen the sixth day? it's not terminator but if you want to see Arnold vs Arnold, that's it.
the Arnold vs. Arnold movie idea is in the episode on Eyes Without a Face
I can't help but think this movie might be a critique of the Free Love movement in the 60s. Even the characters who are on board with the whole idea aren't truly into it and the ending seems to be saying something along the lines of "there's more to people than just sex". That's my two cents. Great review as always. I'm tempted to make an entire movie just so i could get you guys to cameo in it.
Whebs beer and movies coming, tbats what I want to see.
Actually sorry I'm biasdly drunk
Bob Carroll Ted and Alice for me is like trying to watch that comedy sketch show Fridays, it is so very young boomer and it just does not land for me
It's July in the southern hemisphere.
There was actually a TV show based on this movie. It lasted 12 episodes, and only 7 of them aired.
Heard it? Though I'm a prog-rock super-fan (ie. Rush, Dream Theater) take another listen to Michael Jackson's "Off the Wall". Considering all the instruments are actually played (not computerized) gives more eyebrow-raising approval.

Nice
awsome vidoe guys! i was wondering did, you guys ever see a movie called .......... enemy at the gates?
For their "Enemy at The Gates" discussion, check out Episode 18: Saturday Night Fever. :)
Woah im so early that the highest resolution is 360p!
I fact that The Neverhood is your picture, you could pretty much say anything and I would click that like button.
Adam Canning Aw thanks Adam! If you haven't played it yet you should check out Armikrog. It is very similar to Neverhood but somethings missing idk :)
Awwww....I love Showgirls....but, then again, I'm a weirdo...lol. Kyle should not be ashamed of that movie. I love him in everything he does.
"You're a hostile bitch" - This Movie
Also this movie should have been called Boobs & Cock & Tits & Ass
I can't believe you watched a Natalie Wood movie without Jason Stephens doing a Christopher Walken impression.
Craig in a Quasi shirt? Yes!
I have seen 'The Wrong Box!'
Big ups for that Ohio Players LP
alfie was a pretty cool movie. i watch them all btw. all the episodes i mean, not the movies.
I remember seeing that Ohio Players - Honey album in a thrift store one time. It's a bit more interesting if you open the album.
Just had a weird flashback - in that same thrift store, maybe the same visit, they also had Rod Stewart's "Blondes Have More Fun" (back of album - "or do they?").
Hell yeah! Before they were Cameo. Cameo's first album was killer-good too!!!!!! (and I'm strictly a Rush fan, but I know talent when I hear it!)
Elliott Gould has a Seth Roganesque delivery.
I like a lot of the interactions matt ane craig had in this one, two dudes laughing at stupid shit, reminds me of when i watch/ talk movies with my friends. Also...Was craig drunk or high or both during this episode? Was there a reason behind his giddyness? And what the hell was the album behind craig...i recognise it but i dont know why...i think my dad had it.
When you say "it might be good, it might be bad" what episode has Craigs reaction when you say "it might be bad"
I believe it's Mac & Me
+BlameSociety Mac and Me is the funniest episode! I worked at McDonald's when this movie came out. They loved targeting their younger customers back then.
as someone who lives in Las Vegas, I appreciate Matt not saying it. Thank you, Matt. Great episode though, guys. Craig seemed to be enjoying himself quite a bit during this one.
scratch that, the shots at the beginning, once the movie is over they looked normal
Sam Peckinpah's Convoy. Seen it?
You said that ''Marty '' was the lowest, but what sort of numbers have shifted since you put this-here link up in the opening ?
Statistics time! It's like a game, but without a goal. Or Fun.
chocolate ready, savory snack ready, meat based snack ready, cold drink ready, hot drink ready, alcoholic drink ready, blanket ready, in my seat in the correct position, time to watch welcome to the basement!
do you guys have any pre, post or during movie rituals or rules?
Same as yours.
Craig Johnson are you thee Craig Johnson?
If you mean the author of western mystery novels, then no. I'm the Craig Johnson who co-hosts welcome to the basement.
Craig Johnson it must be you, always with the sass mouth , thanks for the years of entertainment!
Drugs? Try some Requiem for a Dream, unless you've "seen it". Rock'n'Roll? I really liked "The Idolmaker".
This seems like the movie The Invitation... SPOILER: Save for all the murder.
19:45 in case you missed it.
Thanks for reviewing this as I always thought it was just an orgy flick.
7:52 that rug really tied the room together! I'm surprised you didn't make a joke about peeing on the rug, dudes!
I like the jokes but I was wanting you to cut back and critique more; seemed like it warranted it.
I would be interested in a remake of this but set in modern times. two everyday, urban, young couples awkwardly trying to have this so called "awakening". I don't know, I'd watch it.
your basement looks strangely like green screen lol
Marty was great
BACATAA
I just saw Craig in a Trident comercial
I HATE that commercial
+BlameSociety lol I'm sorry, and honestly don't blame your distaste for the advert.
+BlameSociety but you do have to admit that besides the creepy smile; the hair, wardrobe, and the "italiano" are very uncanny
Sorry. Not me. My teeth aren't that nice. Maybe if I chewed more Trident...
+Craig Johnson haha quite possibly, it's crazy enough that it just might work
You should review SCORE from 1974, by director Radley Metzger...same premise, but WAY better!!!
When Matt first started talking about watching a movie about sex, I was terrified that it might end up being Harold and Maude. In sophomore year of college I had an old hippie teacher for English class and she showed us that film. I was not prepared for what I witnessed, and to this day I refuse to ever watch that film again.
To be fair, it's kinda hard to dance to acid jazz.
Why do all of the shots of Craig look like they were filmed with a potato?
Scroll down for explanation
More silly Craig please.
HORST.
9:28 Anybody else catch on that that's not how birth control pills work?
Untimely/Coincidental Willy Wonka joke :(
Ugh. I'm not a fan of late 60's 'comedies* like this and The Graduate. While visually they are pretty good (especially the ending of The Graduate), the characters are insufferable.
