Do you ever read reviews for movies, TV shows, books, or music? In the past, we used to pay attention to what the reviewers had to say. Nobody went to the movies without hearing what Siskel and Ebert thought. We had to know whether a film received a thumbs-up or thumbs-down. Anyone who loved rock music always had to check out the reviews in Rolling Stone. People even wanted to know what their local critic said in the newspaper about the latest TV shows, movies, and theater productions. However, I can't recall the last time I read a review to determine whether I would consume some type of media. I know I'm not the only one...

If ye scurvy landlubbers decide to visit the savage islands of the South Pacific, Nate and Hayes are the best guides you could have. Arrr!This 1983 film bombed big in the box office, and bombed big with Siskel and Ebert! Nate and Hayes is based on the two real life characters Captain Bully Hayes and Ben Pease. Nate being the missionary type and Hayes being the rapscallion he is. Both team up to save Nate's wife who was kidnapped by the Pirate Ben Pease. They get into trouble, chase after what seems to be turn of the century warships, to get the lady back.The film features plenty of would be jokes, although some seemingly timed poorly. Ken picked the film for review as it is our first swashbuckler review that he saw when he was 10. Rasto had some choice words to say about the film, and Stewart seemingly enjoyed what he deemed as 'Indiana Hayes and the Grumpy Fisherman.' The film had some suspicious elements that are seen in another Indiana Jones film, and also the modern Pirates of the Caribbean. Written by the two famous writers Lloyd Phillips and John Hughes and directed by Ferdinand Fairfax. Starring Tommy Lee Jones as Bully Hayes, Michael O'Keefe as Nate, Max Phipps as Ben Pease and Jenny Seagrove as Sophie.Film Rating: PGAudio Clip from Nate and HayesOriginal Text Interview Siskel and EbertSubscribe to our Substack.Share this post with all your friends.

“There're piles of skulls, which of course I appreciate” - Steve on the set design On this week's episode, Totally Cool Awesome 80s Month and the Summer Blockbuster Extravaganza pay tribute to the late, great Val Kilmer with a convo about the super-fun Ron Howard fantasy flick, Willow!

PLUS: Queen Bavmorda accidentally touches The Ooze and becomes Super Bavmorda (and is also played by Kevin Nash)! Willow stars Warwick Davis, Val Kilmer, Joanne Whalley, Jean Marsh, Patricia Hayes, Billy Barty, Mark Northover, Pat Roach, David Sternberg, Phil Fondacaro, Tony Cox, Kevin Pollak, Rick Overton, and Gavan O'Herlihy as Airk; directed by Ron Howard.

Brad Jones is the creator of the The Cinema Snob and The Bruno Mattei shows, which are popular on You Tube. His love for exploitation films led him to produce several exploitation films: "Midnight Heat", "Cheap", "Freak Out" and "Game Boys". The last three can be found on his website and the trailers for the rest of the movies can be also found there.The Cinema Snob is a show inspired by the 1980s review of "Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter" by Siskel and Ebert. In it, Siskel seemed to get on a soapbox and saw the movie for more than what it really was by calling it the be all, end all for teenage entertainment. And that " it does nothing but teach young people that life is not worth living because you'll just die in the end." In the end, Brad simply said it was just a slasher flick and decided to write and edit his own videos.Brad also wrote two book, The class 86 and Batpussy books about the exploitation with a new twist.Support the show

Another mind bending foray into the Flipside. First reminding the audience Jennifer and I will be appearing at the Contact In the Desert conference May 30th at 11 am, then Saturday May 31st at 11 am (ContactInTheDesert.com) Today's podcast included a visit from the actor Eddie Hassell who pointed out that he'd turned the lights on and off at his parent's home in order to get them to reach out to Jennifer. As it turned out, Steve Jobs was involved in this conversation as well. Luana Anders wanted to discuss how people on the flipside manipulate energy - turning lights on and off, related to the power going out in a recent guided meditation, where at a particular point, it seemed as if someone on the flipside had frozen the internet. I asked Hawking some of the same questions we'd asked him before, as well as to have him talk about how it's possible for him to be aware of all of his previous lifetimes now, but at the same time access information that is related to his most previous journey onstage. Jennifer noted that the acclaimed film critics both Roger Ebert and Gene Siskel had shown up - I had met Roger when he was on the planet, and also noted how their review of my film "Limit Up" got it pulled from movie theaters when it came out. It wasn't until later, when I learned about Ebert's own near death experience that he didn't believe in an afterlife - even though he'd literally "spoken to his wife to tell her to convince the doctors he was still alive" - even after that, he wouldn't allow that it was possible that consciousness continued on. So for whatever reason (they said it was an anniversary, although I'm not sure its related to the film Limit Up's reviews) they showed up to give us a "thumbs up" for our podcast and our continued conversations with the flipside. This isn't the sort of thing one might construct - since Jennifer saw all three of them appear at once, and it wasn't until after the conversation with Hawking did I ask them why they'd appeared. Funny to consider. I also got them to review Sean Baker's film "Anora." (How about that? I defy any clip service to add their reviews "brilliant" to their publicity files "from the flipside") Then Jennifer's dad Jim showed up to answer a question she'd had about her mother's appearances in her dreams - and a general discussion of how it's important for people to allow that it's possible for their loved ones to still exist - because even during dreams if we say to them "wait a second, you died" it's a form of denial of their existence and they "disappear" from our ability to see them. Just something to keep in mind if one is visited by a loved one, by lights turning on and off, by the coincidence of seeing numbers on a clock, or hearing a song and then thinking of them at the very moment they want us to... allow that it's possible, and it won't freak people out so much. Hawking also weighed in the recent reports of "possible life on another planet" ("Why not begin with every other planet?") It's ironic because we haven't begun to understand the different frequencies of species on our own planet yet... dogs smell cancer, bees see UV light, birds change mating habits months in advance of bad weather, octopuses do more with 8 brains in one year of life than we do with 1 brain over 80 years... something to consider when talking about "life on other planets." (What about lives we've yet to understand on our own?)

"There can be only one!" Sorry, wrong Christopher Lambert movie...Considered by most historians to be the best pre-2000 video game movie, Mortal Kombat (1995) proved you really could make a not-bad live action movie based off a game.As Gene Siskel said: "You had a better time, admit it, than you thought you were going to have at this picture." Roger Ebert responded: "Well, since I thought I was gonna have a very BAD time, that would be true almost no matter what I thought!"While we are no Siskel and Ebert, get over here as we engage with Mortal Kombat!
March 7-13: That movie you watched in 2020, Siskel and Ebert give The Critic thumbs down, Wonder Shozen confuses kids, one of the best episodes of ER, Bruce Willis and Liam Neeson are adequate, Adam Sandler and his stupid shoes, the forgotten live-action Disney and slow horror. All that and more from 30, 20, and 10 years ago!

Med Twin Peaks fick han hela världen att undra vem som mördade Laura Palmer. Det här är berättelsen om regissören som fångade allt det skeva med USA. Nya avsnitt från P3 ID hittar du först i Sveriges Radio Play. I början av 2025, när skoningslösa bränder härjar i Los Angeles, kommer ännu en svart rubrik: Kungen av LA, filmskaparen och konstnären David Lynch, har gått bort 78 år gammal. En hel värld sörjer visionären som kallades för den sista surrealisten.Med filmen ”Eraserhead” slår Lynch igenom i de smalare filmkretsarna i slutet av 70-talet. Men den märkliga svartvita filmen ska snart öppna dörren till Hollywood och den breda publiken. Mot bättre vetande tackar David Lynch ja till att axla rollen som regissör för science fiction-eposet ”Dune”. Fiaskot som följer hade kunnat sänka vilken gryende filmskaparkarriär som helst, men misslyckandet blir en språngbräda för Lynch att visa sitt sanna jag som berättare. I den följande filmen ”Blue velvet” gestaltar han det sömniga villa-amerika han växte upp i, och i vad som blir kännetecknande för hans stil låter han nattsvart ondska och psykosexuella begär krocka med bländvita staket och kromade motorhuvar. Med den epokgörande tv-serien ”Twin peaks” trollbinder han och medskaparen Mark Frost tittarna, som samlas i fikarum världen över för att diskutera svaret på frågan ”Vem mördade Laura Palmer?”.Men studiosystemets rigida ramar skulle gång på gång visa sig vara en för trång kostym för Lynch, som alltid gick sin egen väg för att inte kompromissa med sin vision. Trots det, eller tack vare det, hyllades han av sina kollegor som minns honom med värme som en iögonfallande kalufs höljd i ett moln av cigarettrök.Medverkande: Gunnar Bolin, kulturjournalist och författare, Alexandra Pascalidou, journalist och programledare, Johan Hilton, författare och kulturchef på Göteborgs-Posten, Jesper Ganslandt, regissör.Ljudklipp i avsnittet är hämtade från dokumentären ”The art life”, Bryn Mawr Film Institute, KGSM Mediacache, Hudson Union Society, BAFTA, Toby Keelers Youtubekanal, Alan Lopez youtubekanal, W Magazine, NPR, Siskel & Ebert At The Movies, Overheard with Evan Smith, BBC Global, Bob's Big Boy's Milkshakes, Palme d'Or Cannes, BBC Scene by Scene, The Golden Globes, The David Lynch Foundation samt verk ur Lynchs filmografi.

Kathy and Philippa review the film Tár, a psychological drama featuring the queen of acting, Cate Blanchett. The film centers around Lydia Tár (Cate Blanchett), widely considered one of the greatest living composer-conductors and the very first female director of a major German orchestra. Lydia's life unravels after being accused of misconduct. Tár is full of subtleties, assumptions, and unfinished scenes (in Kathy's opinion). Tune in and discover why Philippa liked it, why Kathy couldn't figure out what was happening, and what they both thought about the film overall (you could say they are the lesbian Siskel and Ebert).
