Never realized how much I miss these guys until I see one of these videos. I used to watch them at 7:30 PM on a Saturday night on our Boston ABC affiliate. They used to randomly change times so I'd have to pull a physical copy of TV Guide out and see where they went. It would sometimes be 2 or 3 on Saturday night/Sunday morning. I'd set my alarm. RIP to the legends.

Say what you want about Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter's Dead, but nearly 30 years later I still quote "The dishes are done, man"

Never seen "Scenes From A Mall" but it looks like torture

Thanks for sharing this with us!

I love nothing but trouble grew up watching it 📼

That 'MTV show' Gene is referring to is the Young Ones, one of the greatest British comedies of all time.

This had me laughing -- the review of "The Return to Blue Lagoon" oh and *Prison Beach Party*

Virginia Madsen was soo beautiful! (“Highlander 2: The Quickenning”)

Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead and Nothing But Trouble were funny ass movies. I don't care how much they get shit on.

Demi Moore looks the exact same in the movie as she did in an episode of Tales from the Crypt.

My favorite 91, blue lagoon , rocketeers, don’t tell mom , T2 . That’s my child hood .

Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead is a good movie. It was good back in 1991 and it's even better nowadays. I will die on that hill

I liked Drop Dead Fred soo much I bought the dvd. It is a good movie that keeps your interest. Pheobe Cates was great in this movie.

I love the movie don't tell mom the babysitter is dead

I love the movie nothing but trouble

Most of these are more entertaining then most movies in 2022

NOTHING BUT TROUBLE is a cult classic........very entertaining.....

9:43..this is where ego superceded being a critic. Ebert similarily did this by publishing Lauren Bacall's address bc he did not agree with HER film choices. I LOVED and still LOVE these guys! But hubris took them over the line occasionally.

Nothing But Trouble is a shameful, utterly disgusting and foul piece of garbage that should have been banished to development hell.

Blue lagoon is my guilty pleasure. Because I was a teen when it came out and Mila J my crush lol😂

A lot of my favorite movies are from 1991! I also love Don’t Tell Mom Babysitter & Drop Dead Fred. Hudson Hawk is a kids classic as well 🎉❤

Even in my early teens, hormones raging and all, I still had no interest in watching Return to Blue Lagoon when it came on cable.

Highlander 2...saw it in the theater with my best friend, and we sat through the entire thing, stunned at how bad it was, and hilariously hoping that there might be one minute of redemption...fail!! Lol...

When youve got movies like Liza Minnelli in them, you cant lose!

Does "Shout" seem like an early version of "School of Rock"?

Who the hell want to go watch scene from a mall when you can go to real mall and see those same couple in real life

Hudson Hawk. Ive seen nearly all these films listed, but... this one.

Highlander 2 was a butchered film.

In Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert's defense, with the title "Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead," the film's message, and even how the film portrays the adult world of men and women, the film had definitely just rubbed them off the wrong way. This was because they felt that with the film's title, message, and take on the adult world of men and women, the movie came off that it was going to negatively impact society with how the film portrays kids, adults, adult life, and babysitters as it could've gave them a bad reputation in the future thanks to this movie. Also, both Siskel and Ebert have very sophisticated and tough ways to review their movies in their own ways. For Siskel to enjoy the movie, he has to like EVERYTHING he has watched in the movie as Siskel's film criticism was an individual exercise that shouldn't be swayed by public taste. And as for Ebert, he and his film criticisms are both just trying to tell us what he thinks, and to provoke some thought on our part about how movies work and what they can do for everyone and everything in our society someday. Ebert is also quite honest in his film reviews like his hero, Robert Warshow, as like Warshow, Ebert wants to judge a movie on its style rather than its content, and often said "It's not what a movie is about, it's how it's about what it's about." Siskel and Ebert might have both been brutal and that we always don't have to agree with their reviews on specific movies, but they both were brutally honest and straightforward with their movie reviews as their film reviews were largely responsible for getting casual movie viewers to take film more seriously. Even to the point that they and their film criticisms have inspired an entire generation of moviegoers to weigh in on their experiences.

Return to the Blue Lagoon really does sound like a softcore porn movie.

Fun Trivia: A lot of these movies from major studios weren't doing very well at the box-office and they are: Steppin' Out, Shout, Hudson Hawk, Nothing but Trouble, Dice Rules, Scenes from a Mall, Return to the Blue Lagoon, Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead, Drop Dead Fred, Highlander 2, Another You and more. All of which having tons of production problems on many movie sets were being made. In fact, several actors/filmmakers, crew members and studio executives who could lose their jobs and everyone will be on the blacklist. Some of them will find decent work in television, theater and music but others won't. Now lots of them who got great success today and live life to the fullest such as Andie MacDowell, Brian Krause, Milla Jovovich, Jane Krakowski, Virginia Madsen, Christina Applegate, Demi Moore, Phoebe Cates, Christopher Lambert, Bette Midler and more. Fair and Simple.

Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead is such a fantasy but it's actually held up well.... I also remember their differing opinions on evolution of the Home Alone series (one of them said 3 was better than 1 and 2, which - nope) so their reaction to this movie makes more sense. I still will say "Dishes done, man."

Way too harsh on Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead, that's one of the better kids movies from that period.

I have literly never heard of shout, glad I didn't

2:03 Surprised they didn't censor "son of a bitch."

8:10 - "You never really found out exactly why Shelly Winters is so mad all the time....."🤣🤣🤣

Yep, 'Scenes from a Mall' is bad. Woody is a lot like Clint Eastwood. When he appears in a film he did not write or direct, there is usually a bad result. 'Dice Rules' only played ONCE on HBO after its run in the theatre and it was shown like at 3 or 4 in the morning since it was NC-17. The sad thing about Rik Mayall is that he had an illustrious career in England but in America he is mostly known Drop Dead Fred and the Young Ones. Even when it was announced he died, NBC called him the 'Drop Dead Fred' actor. I even ID'ed him as that to my sister since that is what she knew him for. The directors cut of the first Highlander is great, but they they retconned it film after film and TV show...Oh, he is a prisoner from another planet...Oh, he really isn't that last immortal...Oh, there are plenty of immortals roaming the earth, including a kinsman of Connor's. It got to be exhausting.

Not to defend Dice Rules, but I think that nerdy guy he plays was based on Jerry Lewis and was part of his early act, where he'd start out acting nerdy like Jerry Lewis in "The Nutty Professor" and then "transform" into a confident, tough-talking guy modeled after John Travolta in "Saturday Night Fever."

Why did they keep allowing Dan Ackroyd to act & direct?

I own Blue Lagoon 1 and 2 on DVD!

Rik Mayall was brilliant in blackadder, but he had the benefit of being able to bounce off other comic geniuses like rowan atkinson and hugh laurie, and the writing was absolutely topnotch. He didn't have that with drop dead fred.

I don't remember anything good in 91 besides T2

Every time I hear Gene say “that was 2 hours out of my life I’ll never get back” it makes you think. The man didn’t realize how right he was. RIP Gene and Roger.

I love nothing but trouble but it's definitely a weird movie.

Hudson Hawk was pretty funny, these two needed to have lightened up a little. McDowel doing her Dolphn imitation, JP II hitting his TV set with his golden cane to get better TV reception in his white PJs, that was beyond funny. This was Sarah Bernhardt's only good movie. The scene with the song and the robbery was excellent Bruce & Danny have excellent voices.

" Bunch of ninnies "...lmbo

Highlander two is one of the worst ever… I love the franchise, but I looked at this one. I’m like what the fuck

Shock G!? Nooooo!!!

Nothing But Trouble had vision. They were trying to do something interesting and failed spectacularly. Theres tons of videos on the messy production. Hudson Hawk was just plain silly and lame.

I never liked when siskel would call out the makers by name. I mean, okay, but when he was pissed off about Friday the 13th, didn’t he call out betsy palmer and gave out her home address? Lol, that’s not okay! And she was the best thing about that movie.

Highlander II was one of the worst films of the entire century!

Wow; Ebert just called Siskel a zombie. They really DIDN'T like each other and it shows in almost every episode. And I'm here for it.

I was 12 in 1991 and I strongly disagree wit dissing Drop dead fred and Don't tell mom the babysitter is dead. These movies bring me back to my childhood, great memories.

Nothing but Trouble is an amazing film. :D :D

Sure were a lot pretty bad films back in 1991.

Nothing but Trouble wasn’t that bad

I think Hudson Hawk is a good movie and I just don't care! It was taken way too seriously for what was meant to be goofy.

9:44 GENEEE STOP HARASSING THESE WRITERS!!! FOR THE DEAD BABYSITTER MOVIE?!

Highlander 2 is both one of the worst movies and most disappointing sequels EVER!

I rather enjoyed Nothing But Trouble

What did anyone see in Andrew Dice Clay? He isn't funny.

'Don't tell Mom' wasn't THAT bad.

Nothing but trouble is a hilarious film.

When Bette Midler does that shit to Woody Allen, she could be doing it for a lot of women today against him.

hudson hawk was a fun movie

I liked scenes from a mall

I loved Don’t Tell Mom Babysitter's Dead & Drop Dead Fred & Hudson Hawk too lol, I'm guessing because I was so young. Watching them now it's obvious they're not all great films, but they're all still lovable in their own way thanks in no small part to nostalgia.

Adventures of Ford Fairlane is kinda funny
