That was so much fun. I miss this kind of television, this kind of honesty and integrity.
I really feel sad watching this. Gene and Roger had so much left to give to this world. I really miss them.
Amen
I miss them too. Watching this and their reviews is like comfort food.
Theirs so many movies I wish gene had watched. I wonder if he would of liked fight club or the matrix and it’s so sad he never got to see toy story 3
Even if still around, their wonderful show as it was would not survive in the internet age. Too many web pages of reviewers out there.
@Tim Griffin If they were alive and in good health, they'd probably be doing their show online instead of on TV.
These two were brilliant. It's a constant battle of wits. I love it.
Laugh out loud. Smile inducing good fun. All 3 gentlemen were entertaining and funny throughout.
"One point please... it's not a little hut." Gene was so proud of himself about that joke afterwards.
and it's never not funny. he's such a complete prick lol.
These guys were an integral part of my developing understanding of film during that period of my life. Thank you, gentlemen, for my education entertaining!
The first 10 minutes says everything about their relationship. So much ❤
Siskel & Ebert: Gone way too soon. Sad.
Where would film criticism be today if it wasn't for the influence of Siskel & Ebert❓They were so articulate, so intelligent. These two great film critics put the ones of today to shame ! Not one of today, stands in comparision ... NOT ONE‼They are the gold standard. 🥇👍
Miss them both. Rediscovering these tapes and the tapes of their show has brought back great memories. I highly recommend these to younger folks to get ideas on films that many have forgotten.
If they thought 1992 was a post-literate society...hoo boy.
We're giving the Roman Empire a run for its money when it comes to unabashed degeneracy.
Bro 😂😂😂😂
Miss these guys. This is great.
This is fabulous. Thanks for the upload. Really miss these guys.
From the erudite philosophical discussion about existential dread and egoism to a knock down drag out fight over how to eat and enjoy candy.
These really are the skills it takes to be a master movie reviewers.
Perfectly coupled. Notice how they don't interrupt or step over each other for the most part. True gentleman.
True gentlemen who seemed to both respect and hate each other, while recognizing what made their content great was putting that combination on display.
I'm glad someone agrees with me about The Silence of the Lambs.
Siskel was a master reporter, whilst Ebert was a master essayist. Siskel was so well informed and was so good at obtaining inside information, while Ebert could write sonatas of film reviews almost effortlessly. That’s the main reason why they were so good together- they were two sides of the same journalism coin.
Way to plagiarize. We saw the show, too.
@@Tre404 Excuse me? Plagarism? Wtf are you talking about?
Well said. Totally agree.
Difference between reporting and essay writing is...?
That's got to be Jason Alexander doing a voice-over in the Nissan commercial.
I love the commercials 🙂👍
I started watching these guys when they were still on PBS, and I think it was called "Sneak Previews". I so fell in love with their analysis and banter, I took a film criticism course my sophomore year in college, and they became a regular part of my life until Siskel's death about 18 years later.
Just for those who are interested, that topic about death is actually a thing in psychology, it's called death drive.
Awesome episodes! Thanks for the upload- if only I could find the Later episode with Pat Cooper
Miss these guys so much!
Later was so great.
Christ the shouting match on the types of candy is hilarious.
A very entertaining interview
These two were lucky enough to see the greatest decades of cinema. I wonder if S&E would still appreciate their jobs today.... My bet is that Gene would've caved in and retired well into the 2010s
Oh yes, definitely. if anyone knew where the movie industry was headed(straight down) it was Gene Siskel.
Chuckles 😃 😀 or Dots.....good stuff, I miss them both!!
These 2 are icons & launched millions of review channels on yt & nobody will be as good as the originals. I could watch 50 of their shows & how could u get bored its diff films but w/ their commentary. Its brilliant. When he said Gene's on American online I was surprised it was around back in 92 ? $hit! I knew internet was around in colleges since the 80s maybe b4 but wow. Anyway they are the goats# no question
I miss Gene and Roger!
Costas is world class.
The GOATS
Absolutely. And the next best weren't even close to Siskel and Ebert.
Love these guys!
MC Hammer is on Regis & Kathy Lee tomorrow. Gonna have to watch!
Please Hammer, don't hurt em...Regis, at least. Kathy Lee optional.
These 2 cats are were the bomb
im looking at the guest list for bob's show - when it came to celebrity interviews, the human race was so much more interesting than today......
That candy eating competition was swell.
Definitely Chuckles….Dots do stick to your teeth!
@@lerm2866 But not like JUJUBES, the most cursed candy sold at tables set up in the hallway outside high school auditoriums for Saturday matinee movies. Rarely eating more than a few of these mini-pail shaped, 1/4 inch sized, fruit-flavored beauties, the rest would become the perfect projectile for the prepubescent lads who fired them at will at surrounding noggins in the dark. You couldn't help, but return home with at least one JUJUBE wedged in the tread of your sneaker and another in a tooth. School custodians found them to be the bane of their existence every Monday morning, when they had to clean the auditorium. I wouldn't be surprised if there was some under-funded, non-renovated high schools, still today, retaining some of those gooey pellets, stuck to an array of crevices, dating from the '60s....authentic historical artifacts!
@@lerm2866 I know right? One time I ate my Dots while watching this and man they really did stick.
When TV was great!
I can’t believe gene didn’t like silence of the lamb. He did a good job defending his opinion but I still don’t get it…
siskel was so clueless.. he didn't like the crow, casino, predator, boogie nights, aliens, silence of the lambs,, but he did like die hard, rocky IV
"Will Tom Arnolds new show make him the king?" Well, we know the answer to that one.
A pair of kings
GOOD INTERVIEW ! SUNDAY 8/4/24 AUGUST 4, 2024
They don't make em like Siskel and Ebert anymore!
They don't make movies like they did anymore. The culture doesn't value movies, or film criticism anymore.
Now it's a post-neuron society,we live in.
No ads is better
13:03 That's right, kids. Once upon a time, Maury wasn't about paternity tests
They flipped a coin for who'd be first on the byline. Gene won.
I miss those guys.
This is so funny when you have no idea what the fuck a Dot or a Chuckles is
I had to google them and realized I know them but didn’t know the name
Me neither
Non American here I thought wtf
I see Dots lots of places but I've never seen Chuckles.
Mike O'Malley sighting lol 12:18
good catch, I almost didn't recognize him with hair
Comfy TV viewing.
Laurel & Hardy
Matthau & Lemmon
Siskel & Ebert
The globalization problem in movies has gotten about 100x worse since this was filmed. Why it's all comic book movies now. Few dramas. Not even many comedies anymore. Too much dialogue, too many subtitles for non English speaking audiences. Not so if you just glow stuff up for 2 hours. Where there televisionization comment is dated is in the fact that TV shows generally are now actually more complex than movies.
The whole Laurel and Hardy act was just schtick... and it was revealed when Gene died and Roger championed his memory
It's funny how many people still think they weren't actually friends even though Roger said that Gene was his best friend in that tribute episode.
Yeah I can tell they loved each other . Albert was always sad after he was never the same
Slap Shot, The Best
Man Ebert was dead wrong about his Blue Velvet review. I like it but people didn't turn heel on the film.
11:20 "The New Nissan Altima comes equipped with liquid fueled engine mounts ..." sounds like Seinfeld's 'Jason Alexander' who asks _"Hey, haven't I seen this before?"_ so this advert completely disrupted my workflow as I listened to this.
Imagine Nissan investing in an advertisement that has me talking about their _new_ Altima over 30 years later 😅
8:39 LOL!!!!
I heard they would take seperate flights for things like this.
They were great. I used to record their show every week on my VCR.
And I agree with Gene regarding Silence of the Lambs.
I didn’t like it either but not necessarily for the same reasons.
If you're here from reading "Opposable Thumbs," Gene names the Dot flavors at 50:55
I don’t know why it took so long for Gene to come around for Slap Shot, but I’m glad he did.
But I disagree with both of them about Malcolm X.
I finally got around to watching it in its entirety this past year, and I didn’t like the way Spike Lee handled it.
But everyone’s entitled to an opinion.
But I do, however, like that Radio Shack commercial for the radio-controlled cars.
Spike Lee is spectacularly overrated, and that's an understatement.
Siskel was right about the Dots comment. When Costas says he likes the red one, Ebert says Dots don't have a distinctive taste and if you're blindfolded, you wouldn't be able to tell one from another. And then he later says blindfold him and he could lol
I agree with Ebert more than Gene but Ebert was WAY off on the Dots. Dots 100% have distinctive tastes by color.
Oh the good old days when films were interesting and people had something to say that made sense. No woke nonsense and political posturing.
So at 15:14 Ebert mentions he goes on America Online.... in 1992? Apparently the dude was ahead of the online revolution
24:02 that Micheal Jordan hanes commercial is epic
Gene Siskel is a joker. I was literally was dying when he explained the correction of eating Dots and Chuckles haha
Wow Roger's fear has been mine for at least 30 years.
Percy mason returns wow
This must have been a very tough experience for Roger. From then on he had to admit that Gene had better taste than he did....
Very good show but if I was asked whether the world will survive the end of Siskel and Ebert my answer would be yes, I think we will be fine (he said 24 years after the first one and 10 years after the second one died).
Siskel didn't like The Big Lebowski.
from what ive seen i think gene is the more sane person between both of them lol
I don't know, Gene lived a crazy, disorganized life Roger was always more subdued.
Forever Young…lol
blue velvet is a great movie
An old married couple
These 2 started on PBS before going into syndication and my Dad & both quickly learned, whatever movie Gene & Roger hated was basically a
"must see" and whatever movie they loved was %98 of the time was an "avoid at all costs".
37:00 - One of the only times Roger Ebert was 100% wrong about a movie.
True, though I didn't really like Blue Velvet when I saw it, loved Wild at Heart though
I don't think Roger's imitation of Perot was not that good. Maybe he was justified in being perturbed
that Gene put him in the position that mandated him to do an imitation that he was unprepared to do.
Are Dots and Chuckles Kosher? Siskel was Jewish.
Yes, they are
7:25 Gene is quite magnanimous in acknowledging what a hack writer he was in comparison to Roger. Roger got me thinking, Gene basically just gave a 0 to 4 out of 4 star rating. The argument about the Dots is killing me, way too serious a tone, no one was laughing.
Their criticism was to a large extent so arbitrary (from film to film) that you can easily distrust motive. Even today, this is why popular criticism in social media is so contentious.
The best thing about Siskel and Ebert bickering here is that it largely drowns out Costas. With a single, less loquacious guests, that preening schmo would just blather on endlessly.
Malcolm X is a great American figure but no way am I ever going to sit down for 3 1/2 hours to watch a movie. For heaven's sake America, read a book.
Costas talks too much.

So no Lawrence of Arabia or Godfather for you.
@@nikosvault God no, Lawrence of Arabia is a bad motorcycle rider and Ronald Reagan ended the mob because the Democrats didn't have the stones to do it, those movies are horse hockey.
Books take longer than 3 and 1/2 hours to read, goof.
@@dreamquesttv Yes, books take longer than 3 1/2 hours and that's why you've never read one, we know the story.
