Jimmie Blacksmith is fascinated film 👍🌟🌟🌟🌟

I wish they would have continued with the Dog of The Week segment, or something similar, on their subsequent review shows. God knows there is never a shortage of lousy movies.

The Idolmaker is for those who think the Osmonds are too hardcore 😏

[@ricardocantoral7672]

The dude pretends he's Bela Lugosi's Dracula and the footage being played is from a Christopher Lee Dracula film !

[@brianstjohn]

"Battle Beyond the Stars" as a Dog of the Week? I always thought that movie was an intentional, tongue-in-cheek low-budget film. When I saw it as a kid I didn't take it as a serious movie. Either Gene or I didn't get the movie, I suppose!

Don't listen to Gene's review of "The Idol Maker". Ray Sharkey's performance in the "Idol Maker" was great. The film was great and the original music for the film was great.

[@bloodmoonrising6772]

Absolutely agree, Great film. Watched it on RUclips many times this week.

Gene's always a Debbie downer

I remember Fade to Black. My late father was upset with me watching it because of the violence.

[@kdohertygizbur]

It was very offbeat and I did enjoy this movie

[@reneedennis2011]

@@kdohertygizbur I agree. It is a good movie.

[@YouTube-tied]

I was upset with me for watching it because it sucked. I remember not being interested in seeing it a second time and 43 years later it remains a 1 and done.

Hello Movie Buffs! David here I been a movie buff for over fifty years and Gene is way off on what he said about Ray in the Idolmaker! He was fantastic in the movie! A true modern classic I seen it at least 10 times over the years, No movie like it. Please leave your thoughts about the movie here 😊

No way do I trust Siskel and Ebert on post-1960s Godard.

[@xaque9732]

was hoping that “Every Man For Himself” was a review of Herzog’s “Every man for himself and god against all” (commonly retitled in english as “the enigma of kasper hauer”), but it’s a Godard movie. herzog’s inscrutable art movies are way better than Godards’s

I cannot believe Ebert liked Fade To Black. It's terrible.
