Is this movie actually a self-insert fanfiction made by a guy whose group of friends is drifting apart because of real-life responsibilities, so he invented a dying friend character that they abandoned because he personally feels abandoned by his friends due to his unwillingness to grow up like they did? It definitely has that feel.

"Me and my friends, we had a dream once, life was going to be a great adventure, and we were going to be heroes. Then everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked!"

I like how the 80s version of being in a rut in your 30s is "managing a successful nightclub isn't spiritually fullfilling to me." As opposed to the 10s rut, "Working as a Starbucks Barista and living with my parents because rents are enormous here is making me worry about how I'll support myself in my old age."

i like the implication that the poster designer didn't watch more than a few minutes of the film and just used the opening quote as the tagline

If you're deaf and can't see very well, you might think this was the weirdest episode of Seinfeld ever, with Jerry visiting a dying Newman in the hospital

So... "Saul died at night on the NINTH day..." That implies, to me, that they were sailing around the Lake for at least 9-10 days. No wonder nobody was willing to do it, if it was a multiple week trip on the boat to wait for Saul to die. Then did they haul around Saul's body for longer? That is the movie I wanted to see.

This film is really saul-crushing...

Here's a little trivia for you about Windy City. The actor who played Sol Josh Mostel, is the son of Zero Mostel, best know for playing Tavye on stage on Fiddler on the Roof, and Max Bialystock from the Producers. He also appeared as a guest on the Muppet show, and died months before the episode aired. And yet what I said was far more interesting than Windy City.

Music by Jack Nitzsche? "If you stare into Windy City's opening credits, Windy City's opening credits stare also into you."

This movie is what happens when you make Seinfeld a drama.

Thing is, the Big Chill wasn't just about some random people being sad adults. It was also about the disillusionment of the hippie movement, and how that optimistic worldview gave way to cynicism, and how none of them ended up being the same people they were in their youth. I took it as less "Things were so much better in the old days" and more "What happened to the way we used to be? How did we get where we are now?". Plus, it has an absolutely kick-ass soundtrack.

The Buttercream Gang 2: Windy City- a sequel of unwanted importance.

Man that was a... like, a really sad 'where are they now' Goonies sequel... where one of them dies... that was awesome...

I'm one of the two people who finished the episode, go me!

"not gonna make it to the end of the episode" CHALLENGE ACCEPTED.

Ironic he started this out warning we wouldn't get through it. This is the most hillarious Cinema Snob episode I've seen yet.

You know a film is boring as hell when the latest update on its wikipedia page acknowledges this review (I'm not kidding). By the way Brad, this review is freaking hilarious.

First we get Phelous reviewing The Fortunate Fawn and now we have Brad reviewing Windy City. These reviews took FIVE YEARS IN THE MAKING.

"I hope this review of Windy city was everything that you begrudgingly feared it would be, for all 2 of you that are still watching this episode!" And speaking as one of them, yes. Yes. it most certainly was.

I love the scene where he tries to jump the bridge and just flat out doesn't make it. This movie may not deserve a lot of credit, but doing that part differently than how 99% of other movies would have deserves some attention.

This is the best Snob episode ever....just PERFECTION.

That Stand By Me reference was perfect. I JUST HEARD THAT A GUY WHO LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE SAUL STARTED AN ICE CREAM COMPANY WITH HIS BROTHER AND WENT ON A CATTLE DRIVE AND SAVED A LITTLE CALF FROM DROWING!!!! UNFORTUNATELY, HE DIED IN THE PROCESS!!!! *The Rouges* YAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I made it through the whole video and could believe you didn't make a single mention of how Saul was a younger version of George R.R. Martin.

I find myself coming back to this episode a lot. Brad is on fire on this video.

The trivia about the capital city of Chicago was so intriguing to Brad that he had to move there to find out more.

"I watched Die Hard as a kid and didn't want to jump off of buildings." You would have if you saw Die Hard 5 as a kid.

These guys are the worst friends ever.

I spent this entire review waiting for Saul to transform into Wayne Knight

I laughed so hard when he yelled back at the poster.

Sadthirtyyearoldsploitation movies are the best 'sploitation movies.

Wow, this movie is cinematic Nyquil.

I literally read all of the comments section rather than actually pay attention to this review

"Most of you won't make it to the end of this review." This is my 5th time watching this review.

This review is now cited on the film's Wikipedia page

"Help me I got shot in the chest, somebody call 911!" "Yyyaaaayyyy"

For those who couldn't handle the relentless thrill a minute action of The Buttercream Gang.

Saul is history's greatest monster.

Hi, I'm the only person who'll ever re-watch this review by choice

30:27 "I don't want any soup." Too bad, you're gonna watch Soup for One and you're gonna like it!

A well made PSA for high-schoolers on why they should live fast and die young.

"This isn't Chicago, public displays of ketchup were outlawed in '82!" :D :D

Just watched Captain Blood (the movie showing on tv in the beginning of this one) like two days ago. It was actually fantastic! Had myself an Errol Flynn triple feature (The Adventures of Robin Hood, The Sea Hawk and that one) and altough they were all great, Captain Blood was my favorite of the bunch. :P Soo.. if nothing else, the beginning of this film was pretty good.

Alternative title of the movie : Everybody hates Saul in Windy City (that's Chicago FYI) xD

This is the kind of lame movie the exists when writers take the "write what you know" mantra too seriously.

8^y I warned ya, bro. I warned ya. I warned ya about that Windy City.

Finished the episode no problem. The line at the end about the dvd also hating Sal by drilling a hole in his head was one of the funniest jokes ever.

I recently found your work, and am enjoying it very much. Love your comments and want to thank you for saving me Days of my life, since now i can stop myself from spending my time watching the amazing crap we humans have made. Your faith friendly movie reviews are the best. Those movies make me go like :"nonononono and no!" Thats not me!😫 Hope you keep up the excellent work, your cinic remarks make me laugh and thats a very high valued currency in these times!👍👍👍👊

26:51 Closing narration from "Stand By Me," just makes it hilarious.

Brad referencing Poochinski while impersonating Tequila in the Windy City episode? Holy fuck, my life is complete.

This is one of my favorite Cinema Snob reviews. The movie is probably pretty boring but the review comments are really funny.

ya know when he mentioned lex luthor it reminded me of my theory that snob is actually a lex clone that escaped and saw every schlock movie in existance... oh and of the course all the porn!

29:14 "Even the disk says fuck Saul, it blew a hole in his fucking head!"😂

'What is this?' A dog, an Irish Wolfhound to be precise.

I made it through...I couldn't imagine sitting through the movie when the review felt like a lifetime. Thanks Brad

You just got Fortunate Fawned!

Is Saul actually G.R.R. Martin? No wonder he started writing that gory Westerosi tale after the (un)events of this film.

What? It actually happened?

26:14 - 26:32 I lost it when Snob said, "We then fired him out of a cannon. His body crashed into a White Castle and made chicken rings out of his remains." That sounds like a far better movie than fucking "Buttercream Gang 2: Fuck Saul" A.K.A. this movie. I can tell you that.

"We then fired him out of the cannon." hahahahaha

Yesterday I learned that my friend is dying of cancer, so my friends and I have been thinking of the best way to visit him while we can. Sad that this movie (or more specifically this review) is the first thing that came to my mind, but unlike Saul's friends, we actually love ours. A roundabout way of saying, thanks for the laugh, Brad. Really needed it.

The only other Kate Capshaw movie I remember watching other then Temple of Doom is Spacecamp and Black Rain. The issue is Michael Douglas has all the one liners in Rain and a robot has all the good lines in Spacecamp.

That's the principal from Billy Madison, AKA, The Revolting Blob

Oh, shit, I've actually heard of that Pirates porno before. Even saw a review saying it was a better pirate movie than On Stranger Tides was. I can't wait to see this.

Chicago has a capital city and it's called Windy City?

Lex Luthor would have killed Superman if he used this instead of Kryptonite.

I actually thought for a moment that Brad spliced in footage of One-Eyed Willy's ship from The Goonies as a joke before the Rogues went out to sea in that rowboat. That actually was in the film, wasn't it?

26:10 "And then they banged. Hard."

It's amazing that this became one of my top three favorite snob reviews.

Windy City...another miracle cure for insomnia. Chopper...Sick Balls.

12:05 Jesus Christ it's Lupin The Third.

Times have changed And we've often rewound the clock Since the Puritans got the shock When they landed on Plymouth Rock! If today, any shock they should try to stem 'Stead of landing on Plymouth Rock Plymouth Rock would land on them In olden days, a glimpse of stocking Was looked on as something shocking But now, God knows Anything Goes!

... I will endure this movie, no pirate ship will keep me from watching. Or... talking dog... *I WILL ENDURE!*

Wow... that ends that long "winded" joke. I'll see myself off.

Nostalgia Critic: Hey guys, I’m doing a new review of a movie that just came out last year. And it’s a live remake of Beauty and the Beast! KZfaq: Yay!!!! Brad Jones: Hey guys, I’m reviewing a movie that I regret doing just for your sick entertainment. And it’s Nukie! KZfaq: Yyyyyaaaaayyyyy!!!!!!

I could've sworn there was a "better NOT call saul" joke in here somewhere...

Shoutout to the other person who made it to the end of the review!

I asked for this to win on the channel awesome Facebook group, so I feel slightly responsible.

You know the worst part? The idea of the movie that replaces Windy City in the Patreon polls being even more boring then this.

Fell asleep last night. Now back to watching it! I WILL FINISH!

This is probably the whitest movie I've ever seen, reviewed or otherwise.

"When I'm holding this kid in my arms, it's better than all the good times" And later that night, he's going to be on _To catch a predator_

So I guess this is a shitty version of stand by me?

That Tequilla and Bonetti joke made me miss the reviews of the episodes. I really hope we get more of those soon

I worked on this movie the original title was All The Sad Young Men. Sadly the tall ship Lindo sank off the South Carolina cost a few years ago.

The chicken rings thing murdered me!

when are you gonna review *_"Windy City Massacre 2"_* ?

Every other scene in this movie feels like one of those weird German coffee energy drink ads where it shows calm imagery for a bit, only for it to be interrupted by a horrific jumpscare, except the jumpscare never happens, so you're stuck watching a boring "tranquil imagery" video.

I was already highly amused by the Murph and the Magic Tones joke but everytime the Snob goes "YAAAAAY!!!!" it absolutely cracks me up XD

Heh. As if Chicago wasn't disappointed enough with the Bulls. Now they have to reminisce about the Windy Shitty.

two of you? there are dozens of us! dozens!

8:22 That's how long I made it. Back to Child's Play 2 review. Only checked this out because I saw the mid-roll ad for a Windy City shirt and had to find out what that was all about.

HOW

Great, now do Turkish Windy City.

So.. how does this have a 6.4/10 on IMDB?

*gets ready for bed*gets notification*reads title*eyes widen* Screw sleep, this is gold! And two minutes in I'm like "Wait, was this inspired by Stephen King's 'Stand by me?' How come there is a football game, a pirate ship and a shattered romance in it and it's still a borefest? Well, at least I'll sleep well tonight.

You are one of the greatest reviewers on the internet since I was able to watch this entire review without changing to another video. plus you made me laugh.

I actually found the movie quite intriguing. Maybe I'll download the whole thing if I can find it.

I was watching this review again and realized: Danny is like that character in the episode were Frasier is searching for new friends to "adapt" to society/his listeners. He finds this guy who's a huge fan of his, but is incredibly tacky, unbearably naive, and so on. I guess they made a movie about him.

Not only did I watch this through the first time, I'm now rewatching it... Go me!

For some reason, as soon as I felt like watching this episode, it popped up in my feed, and I was spooked
