RIP Siskel, Ebert, and Spot.

I can’t believe they reviewed Debbie Does Dallas!

"Ho-Ho, a regular Ding-Dong" 😅😅😅 Good one Gene!

“Their tiny, little low-budget jaws.” Funny line from Roger. Excellent video compilation.

These videos are priceless what memories they bring!

This is a great find, It really brings back memories, or old Chicago! thank you for upload!

I loved the "Dogs of the Week" segment as they aired, and used it as a guideline for movies that I wanted to watch. Bit of irony too involving those first two choices - "Up in Smoke" (which was a HUGE hit and launched a film franchise) and "Piranha", which likewise was a big hit and is acknowledged now as a cult-classic that even managed to be remade twice in the decades since.

Wearing "Fredericks of Osaka costumes." Gold!

Piranha: thumbs up! Up in Smoke: thumbs up! Slithis: thumbs down

I just watched all the dog episodes back to back. Those were great, thanks for posting them. Does anyone else here like The Stranger and the Gunfighter?

Spot is so cute!

John Travolta joining a cult? I don’t know; that’s hard to picture…

7:25 "These films are even worse than 'The Warriors.'" It's amazing how so many critics, including these two esteemed ones, came down hard on The Warriors when released, and couldn't see the incredible genius behind it. As time when on, so many critics re-evaluated the movie, including Ebert, who changed his original take to something much more favorable.

0:00 LMAO I love Spot barking

After they talked about "Up in Smoke", I said to myself "They are hilarious, man." Then I realized I said "man", lol.

I absolutely loved Up in Smoke, it was hilarious!

Thanks for uploading all these fantastic time capsules!!!! I rarely ever agree with anything Ebert and Siskel ever say about any film. Still, these critics were a big part of my childhood and these videos are incredibly addicting!!!!

Thank you for these videos! Keep up the great work...I'm really enjoying them

ahhhhhh a simpler time when an accredited film critic with a syndicated show would review a porno

I love this. They seem to be having so much fun.

I hope the dog was treated well and had a good home

I remember when they had The Hills Have Eyes as their dog of the week. It did very well in Boston!

Up in Smoke is an American classic!

Beyond and Back. Holy shit I actually saw that movie when I was a kid.

I loved most of these movies.

Gene and Roger were partially right about "Up In Smoke". After the car scene, the film fell apart.

Love the dog.

Fun clips even though Up in Smoke is awesome (even Pauline Kael liked it!)

Oh wow. Wouldn't even think Slithis would make it to S&E. A triumph unto itself!

Ebert and siskel hate everything I love. What a shock.🙄

"Piranha" was an early Joe Dante movie, it's supposed to be campy.. "Up in Smoke" was hated by a lot of critics, but it was a surprise hit, since lots of stoner kids like liked this kind of stuff. Never heard of "The Bod Squad", but I'm wondering if Gene ever saw the bizarre Japanese action movie "Sex and Fury" which features a nude swordfight. "Dracula and His Vampire Bride" was typical UHF fodder, but what about "The Satanic Rites of Dracula"? "Slithis" I've heard of, but never seen. "The Devil's Rain" is one of the goofiest horror movies of the 70's, but Gene failed to mention that William Shatner was in it too. "Dogs" looks pretty bad, maybe even worse than "Grizzly", which rip off "Jaws" scene by scene. "Message From Space" is probably the most enjoyable film in this video. Did you know it was directed by Kinji Fukasaku, who would later make "Battle Royale"? I remember "Beyond and Back" and "The Late Great Planet Earth" got advertised on TV a lot, that was Sun Classics strategy. Orson Wells would narrate another End of the World documentary titled "The Man who Saw Tomorrow" which was about Nostradamus. "Secrets" sounds like Cinemax fodder. "The Gunfighter", well there where some strange hybrids in the Italian western movies. "Debbie Does Dallas" was one of those movies people saw just for the title. "Wonder Women", well thats a rip off name for you.

Up in Smpke is a stone classic. Nerds.

I was actually wondering what they would say about " The Devil's Rain !! " Then , the next film critiqued was " The Devil's Rain !! "

Funny how many times Gene uses oriental and Debbie does Dallas was viewed as hardcore not porn, also the last one Wonder Women is called Get Out now and made tons of money (at least the idea of switching parts out)

I saw Beyond and Back in the theater in Cleveland as a little kid. Really freaked me out. Then I watched it on youtube a couple months ago and it's hilariously bad. Siskel and Ebert rightfully crucified that crapfest.

6:51 I have the strange feeling that that dog must have given Harold Camping the strange idea to put up billboards proclaiming "The World is Going to End Really Soon" earlier this decade.

" Bump and Grind their way to freedom"...lmbo. R Kelly said ain't nothing with that.

Does anybody know the name of the martial arts movie that features a guy getting impaled by a spear, pulling it out and continuing to fight? It was a Dog of the Week in the early 80s. Can't remember if it was Siskel or Ebert who picked it (I think it was Ebert). In his review, he talked about an audience member who said "If that guy pulls out that spear and keeps fighting, I'm out of here." The guy left.

I would've loved to see these two review Sharknado.

I actually like both “Piranha” and “Up in Smoke.” “Piranha” is really more of a comedy as Joe Dante intended it to be very humorous. The Cheech and Chong film is very funny. Yes, ridiculous, but very funny as well. I’ll agree the other films do look terrible and I’ve seen at least 2-3 of them.

The Bod Squad? My kind of flick. You can see the New Territories of Hong Kong/Xianggang in the back.

I think what bothers me most is the number of these films that I have seen. Uggh.

OMG, people's heads would explode today at the Un-PC Asian puns in Gene's "Bod Squad" review.

Piranha is a great funny horror movie and, come on, Message from Space was one of the best Star Wars rip-offs 😂, made by Kinji Fukasaku!

Have any of you who disagree with their negative review of Up In Smoke seen it straight? Don't bother.

Welp, now I need to see The Stranger and the Gunfighter. And Message from Space was amusing, dang it. Not 'good' in the classical sense, but entertaining in its low-budget boobery.

Piranha is a fun movie❤

Hell hath no fury like.....SLITHIS!

OH NO "UP IN SMOKE" that's an awesome movie. Most of these suck so bad I've never seen most of them.

I'm wondering if Gene saw Debbie Does Dallas at a Drive-In. I can always remember growing up whenever I was looking for movie times and locations in the local paper, at least one of the Drive-Ins that had switched to adult films was always advertising Debbie Does Dallas well into the 80s. Then when we wnt on vacation to upstate New York or Florida or New England and I looked to see what was playing--same thing. I swear that movie kept some theaters alive for years.

Spot is wrong about the first entry.

Even back then..How are you gonna hate on anything Cheech & Chong?.I never liked them..But they did deliver on everything they set out to deliver..They never set out to be the next Citizen Kane..One of them even had Pee Wee Herman in it..What else do you want?

Gotta take Gene 'n' Roger to task over Piranha and Up In Smoke, but I suspect that Gene's description of The Bod Squad is FAR more entertaining than the movie was.

Hey Man! Debbie Does Dallas is a cult classic 😆

Okay..I have a touch of the Flu right now..So I'm SURE I'm imagining, in a feverish fog, that at 9:01 Ebert just called the hard core porn flick Debbie does Dallas his Dog of the Week..what??..Man,I gotta take it easy on that Robitussin..I'm trippin..

The movie about the dogs looks so-bad-it’s-good

Sorry, I love Piranha and Up in Smoke.

7:10 that didn't age well, its called eschatology and Lindsey nails it.

I agree with them Dogs is my number 1 worst flim of the year 1976 that I was scared of dog attack.

Cheech and Chong Rule!!!

I disagree with them on Piranha and Up In Smoke. They're taking these entertaining movies way too seriously.

Boy, did Cheech and Chong ever prove these two guys wrong!

"Oriental guy"... not PC, Gene. 'Oriental' doesn't describe people. Its for rugs, etc.

They basically hated pretty much any exploitation movie. As much as I respect their opinion, it rarely influenced what movies I watched.

Up in Smoke unfunny? Gene needed to smoke up

Late Great Planet Earth was a good book. It is happening in slow motion, but it is happening. The European Common Market became the EU, and that has been a disaster. It might not cause the end of the whole world, but it will cause the end of Europe as we know it.

7:26 - ''These films are even worse than The Warriors'' Yeah Gene, and so is your mother 😕 I like The Warriors.

The good ol days, when you could call asian people, "Orientals"

Debbie Does Dallas?????? What is THAT doing here? You don't review porn movies like regular films DUUUHHHH!!!! Gee.....what theater did you see it at? The nice family cineplex at the mall???? How was the popcorn??? Were the guys in trenchcoats bothering you?

These guys slammed Star Wars and blew Ordinary people. Dog of the Old Millenium.

Up in smoke 😅😅😅😅☺️...best movie ever
