What would be the story, though? You could maybe do Siskel's illness in a dramatic way. And it would be interesting to see Ebert's early screenwriting career with Russ Meyer. But Gene was just a low-key newspaperman, there's not much to do there.
I grew up watching their reviews with my mom in late 80s into the early 1990s. I would like to see more outakes. They were brutal towards each other. Yet they were dear Friends. Never forgotten.
This is the best. I often wonder when they review a film if they go off the cuff or it's a rehearsed review. I'd think its spontaneous bc they are responding to the other & get pissed sometimes or laugh.
I wish these guys were still around. Rest in peace, guys. I remember one episode of Siskel & Ebert when Siskel baited/forced Ebert into doing a voice impression of a celebrity because Ebert's voice impression was awful and embarrassing. It was hilarious but it just showed what a jerk Siskel was.
I've heard Siskel rip into Rogers weight so many times I am unsurprised but still shocked to hear Roger rip into Gene's speech impediment like that. Obviously they knew eachother very well.
Because over the 20+ years they made their show with three different companies, each of the three had different titles. The first from the late 70's to early 80's was called "Sneak Previews". The second title of the show during much of the 80's was "At the Movies". Then from the late 80's until Gene's death because of copyright they changed to just "Siskel & Ebert & The Movies".
This show would have been more highly rated had it been named "Siskel and Ebert and the Movies and the Asshole (That's Roger)" and they got to talk blue once in awhile. 😀
Siskel is absolutely loaded (in both segments). Slurring his words, weaving back and forth. This must have been an issue. I already shot my wad on the Protestants!?” 😳 I’m surprised the producers didn’t just shut the whole thing down.
No way. Ebert just goes off how he feels. Clueless about back to the future and starwars and action and scifi. Siskel was way more objective and saved auidences millions of dollars.
We are criminally overdue for a behind the scenes, in depth documentary on these two and their movie review show. This already has major vibes of the Let It Be Beatles doc that Peter Jackson made recently. We love to see famous duos like this in their natural state. Constantly bickering but also brothers to the end
@@pts5217 There are NO perfect people, and there are most certainly NO perfect Christians, either. Yes, there are many who wrap themselves in the robes of righteousness who really don’t walk the walk. However, no one can be a “perfect Christian.” It’s not an excuse to be a hypocrite, just being realistic about man’s ability to do anything perfectly. A true Christian is humble, speaks God’s truth in love, confesses his or her’s sins before God daily, reads The Bible daily. That’s just scratching the surface of a true walk with Jesus. I try to do all those things, but I’m falling down in other aspects of the Christian walk. If you take God seriously, it’s not easy in this world to walk in the steps of Jesus. It shouldn’t be easy, Jesus came to save the world and was despised and ultimately killed for His efforts.
They were terrific, even when you disagreed with them you still love them it's something that's absolutely missing in this country right now because the mean-spirited assholes have taken over Jean really would have hated the wasps that are around these days especially the next four years

I love this. They start off attacking each other, then they team up and attack everybody else!! They really were brothers!
I’ve been saying this for years, these 2 men need to have a biopic made about them right away.
I would love to see a movie about them.
That's a great idea. I'm actualyl shocked there hasn't been one yet!
Life Itself is the Ebert biopic

How many years have you been saying this, slick?
I miss "Siskel and Ebert and the Movies and the Asshole (That's Roger)"
Siskel and Ebert were more entertaining than a lot of the movies they reviewed. These guys were hilarious!!!
Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert were like an old married couple. So adorable and funny.
“You can’t ad-lib Gene.”
😂
I know I can't that's why you should read both parts.
Hearing Siskel and Ebert swearing is something I never knew I wanted to hear until now XD
That's how you know they were from Chicago 😂
Man I could watch hours of this.
6:10 is the start of the most drunk uncle on Thanksgiving thing I ever seen. Holy hell was that brilliant.
Man, I would have loved to have seen a Gene and Roger Uncensored review program where they said what they really thought about movies.
OMG! Same here. Their words cut deeper and harder than any other weapon known to man lol
A two hour long podcast, uncensored, unfettered- glorious.
They were a great pair.
I could watch them recording promos all day, wow. thisi s fun.
They started off so frosty and by the end they were just roasting each other, you love to see it 😆 miss these two everyday!
"Keep your energy up!"
"I already shot my wad on the Protestants."
☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️😂
"The Promos!" Miss these boyz - would love to hear their perspective on todays films
They’d be bored to tears on much of it.
@MrsCambers Because there haven't been any fresh or new ideas in Hollywood filmaking for several years.
I’m Protestant and this is one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen.
This is why your religion is dying because you laugh at subversive stuff like this
Gene is LOADED here
Well, how else was he supposed to cope with Roger?
I was wondering if it was the start of the brain cancer that eventually killed him.
@@micheller6804 absolutely not
They both were, everyone was.
@@micheller6804I wonder that sometimes too when he flubs
Gene's hammered. Too funny.
Gene Siskel raves: 'I already shot my wad on the Protestants!'
That needs a movie trailer voice.
That is, hands down, the best line from this video. I don't think Gene realized the double entendre, which makes it even funnier...
They were better than most critics.
Great Pair,Great Reel:)
Gene Siskel-All those WASPs drinkin' Dewers!
Roger Ebert-International Bankers & the Vatican!
11:31 - "... the following" will never cease to murder me. Ebert was vicious when he wanted to be, but damned funny too.
I grew up watching their reviews with my mom in late 80s into the early 1990s. I would like to see more outakes. They were brutal towards each other. Yet they were dear Friends. Never forgotten.
Brilliant, just brilliant. "They don't get enough shit!" RIP them both❤❤❤
I down with this revolution.
This is the best. I often wonder when they review a film if they go off the cuff or it's a rehearsed review. I'd think its spontaneous bc they are responding to the other & get pissed sometimes or laugh.
its recorded in a studio over a whole day so while it is off the cuff, it was edited
Gene definitely sounds like he just stumbled into the studio after just leaving Emmit's Pub (always tried to visit when in Chicago)
1:37 "You sounded... Very jaded..."
Having read Matt Singer's book about them makes this so much better to watch. He writes about these outtakes in the book
They are so catty lol
Thanks for sharing this!
--- 5:09... Ebert's eyes! they could peal the flesh of a dragon ! --- 19FEB23
HE ORDERED EVERY FUCKING THING THEY HAVE.
This is gold
This clip was better than any movie these two ever reviewed. Even The Godfather!😂😂
5:28 Ha! They really did love each other.
Let’s call it “critical brothers”
Yes, us WASPs do in fact run the world. The truth is finally out. Curses, Siskel, curses! 😂😂😂
I wish these guys were still around. Rest in peace, guys. I remember one episode of Siskel & Ebert when Siskel baited/forced Ebert into doing a voice impression of a celebrity because Ebert's voice impression was awful and embarrassing. It was hilarious but it just showed what a jerk Siskel was.
Ebert won, hands down.
I've heard Siskel rip into Rogers weight so many times I am unsurprised but still shocked to hear Roger rip into Gene's speech impediment like that. Obviously they knew eachother very well.
Jaw
@ 6:07 - Those damn WASPs, drinking all that blended scotch whisky. Agree, Gene.
they had me cracking up at the end there
12:05
I see Ebert foreshadowing his Stroke right there. XDXDXD
Siskel & Ebert at the Movies sounds better.
Because over the 20+ years they made their show with three different companies, each of the three had different titles. The first from the late 70's to early 80's was called "Sneak Previews". The second title of the show during much of the 80's was "At the Movies". Then from the late 80's until Gene's death because of copyright they changed to just "Siskel & Ebert & The Movies".
two thumbs up
6:21 Roger channels Norm Macdonald
Ebert was such a bully 😂
I’m waiting for Bill Orielly to pop in “We’ll DO IT LIVE! FUCK IT! WE’LL DO IT LIIIIVEEEE! FUCKING THING SUCKS!”
had no idea they put that much thought into the promos 😮
This show would have been more highly rated had it been named "Siskel and Ebert and the Movies and the Asshole (That's Roger)" and they got to talk blue once in awhile. 😀
They would hate all the cgi movies today

Gene seems to have had a few happy hour High Balls.
This is awesome haha. Is siskel drunk the entire time?
Where the heck did you find this?! Awesome vid!👍
Whoops… two thumbs up!! 👍👍
why are they so pissed off at each other in this one
Good Lord 😂😂😂💀
Never knew you were also a fan of Siskel and Ebert. Fancy seeing ya here. TooT thumbs up.
“I already shot my wad on the Protestants.” Poets, these two.
8:48 I had no idea they were this funny…
LOL, I want what Gene is having! He's blitzed out of his mind.
Unfortunately, it was probably his brain cancer.
6:11; I adore the Protestant tirade and I am a Lutheran
WE'LL DO IT LIVE!
FKN THING SUX!!
we'll write it down and we'll do it live!
I like Siskel, but Ebert is a better critic than him.
No way. Ebert just goes off how he feels. Clueless about back to the future and starwars and action and scifi. Siskel was way more objective and saved auidences millions of dollars.
@@zebunker
LOL, Roger loved Back to the future and Star Wars. What are you on about?
Ebert was the better writer.
@@zebunkerMovie critics are subjective, not objective.
Na

There’s an amazing Ebert doc which covers their history and relationship. I think it’s called Life. Highly recommended
Did he say the waps oqn everything?
WASPs own everything.
They're so catty 🤣🤣🤣🤣
They were bros!
Did they drink heavily before shooting the promos?
Ebert quit drinking in 1979.
Nah. They were just naturally savage like this
Siskel just had a speech impediment. He often slurred and stammered
Siskel brain tumor, ebert had his jaw rot off his face. In the end, it was two thumbs up for the memories! Thanks guys!
This week on The Alex Jones show.
I already shot my wad on the protasans
How DRUNK was he hahahahaha
Yep, acting just like an old married couple.
You can tell Gene wasn’t doing well. Roger, I would think, should have picked up on this!
This was 12 years before he died. I don't think he was sick at this time.
@@zt1053 To me, Gene looks somewhat out of it. Sad, tomorrow is his anniversary when he died!
looking back it's like Gene was always unhealthier than Roger and I think he knew it and thats why he always brought up rogers weight.
They became alot more arrogant when they started the Siskle and Ebert show as compared to how they were on Sneak Previews and At the Movies.
It's actually the opposite. They really loathed each other at first.
They were always like that.
@7:20 And decades later we finally got that leader with passion, blood coursing through his veins with love for his country - Donald J. Trump!
Pipe down, cult member
Only thing coursing through HIS veins is Crisco.
Protestants... the people who kinda want a religion.
What does that even mean?
@@SeanPowell-p4vThey were criticizing them for being bland and dispassionate…only pretending to be religious for appearance sake.
