At the Movies

Mm.

And, uh, I was looking up, you know, the Siskel and Ebert reviews of those movies, and Ebert actually gave thumbs up to part one.

But they both gave thumbs down to part two.

E- uh, Siskel didn't like any of them.

Probably, well-

You guys got Siskel and Ebert.

Maybe.

Nah, I don't know.

Yeah.

But like it's a very famous bit of Siskel and Ebert giving it two thumbs down.

Two thumbs down, yeah.

And

it's too much for them.

Yeah, exactly.

And it's really kind of interesting to see that because there's a lot of, I didn't think of this before, there's a... little meme or we'll just say short video of Siskel and Ebert when Roger Ebert was speaking about Crash, the David Cronenberg film and said like, you know, a lot of people are going to hate this movie, but I loved it.

I never thought it was too, it's just too much for people.

What is that?

You don't know Roger Ebert? Siskel & Ebert?

What?

Get the fuck out of here.

Of course, yeah.

And you also can't think of the movies without thinking of Siskel and Ebert.

True.

Yeah.

And critics were not kind to it.

Richard Roeper of Ebert & Roeper gave this thing two and a half out of four stars, and honestly, that feels generous.

Very generous.

It is a movie that leaves absolutely no emotional footprint, leaving audiences basically wishing it had just been a dream all along.

Who are great film critics in history or current?

You know, I grew up with Siskel and Ebert.

I actually wrote Gene Siskel a fan letter, which he didn't respond to as a lad.

You know, I used to have a few.
