A chronological compilation of Siskel & Ebert (and Roeper for one) reviewing the films of John Carpenter. This was one of my earliest episodes from this series, and was desperately in need of an upgrade. (It's now more comprehensive than ever, featuring an extra 20+ minutes than the one before!) From 1978's Halloween to 2000's Ghosts of Mars: 0:51 Halloween 4:19 The Fog 7:03 Escape From New York 10:32 Halloween II* 14:40 The Thing 19:27 Christine 23:56 Starman 29:09 Big Trouble in Little China 32:57 Prince of Darkness 38:09 Memoirs of an Invisible Man 40:53 In the Mouth of Madness 43:34 Escape From L.A. 47:10 Vampires 51:55 Ghosts of Mars (with Roeper) Unfortunately, no reviews currently available for: Assault on Precinct 13 They Live Village of the Damned * I included Halloween II because despite not being directed by Carpenter, he co-wrote and co-produced it (and they talk about the first Halloween in their review) Primarily for educational purposes, but enjoy however you see fit!

Siskel and Ebert were Chicago film critics who created a show for a local PBS affiliate that was then picked up and broadcast nationally. That’s why they became so famous. But they were never as respected by cinephiles as much as, say, Pauline Kael

Ebert's take on The Thing was the biggest miss of his career. Second miss was canning The Three Amigos. He just didn't get it at the time.
I grew up watching Siskel and Ebert. Great critics and I loved John Carpenter movies!
thanks for the big trouble in little china clip at the end, first time I saw that I stood up and started shouting incoherently I was so excited
It’s common for people on the internet to say that critics hated “The Thing,” but Siskel liked it (Ebert didn’t)
Thanks again 🎉
Nice intro 🤓
What about the ward?
Ebert wasn't doing the show by that time and if the successors covered it, I didn't see it
It's The Fog, of course it has a thin story. (Rimshot drum sound)
Overrated couple of bores

shouldn't use words you don't know the meaning of
