I LOVE this movie! Your comments were terrific!!

didn't even watch yet and I liked just because you guys are doing a retro review

Victor Charles Buono (February 3, 1938 - January 1, 1982) was an American actor and comic and briefly a recording artist. He was most famous for playing the villain King Tut on the television series Batman (1966-1968)

I think the piano player was in a Get Smart episode - 'Moonlighting becomes you'

My favorite movie of all!

Andrew and Avaryl, please do a review of the show Feud: Joan and Bette! It would be fabulous, plus I've heard very good things about the series.🤓🤔

I for one loved this film but I love you guys

IVE BEEN HOPING U WOULD DO THIS

yaaaaasssss!!!! fabulous idea! Cat on a Hot Tin Roof with Paul Newman and the FABULOUS Elizabeth Taylor is my absolute favorite movie! 💖 everything moviebitches is doing!!

Love you guys

at 4:10 never noticed that. yasssss this cracked me up

Victor Buono got a Best Supporting Actor nomination for this! He was great, only made it to 43 unfortunately. Another terrific review, you crazy kids.

You guys know what i want to see even before i do

Just watched it. I thought that Blanche said she did not get ran over by Jane so that he sister would go get help. It was a way for her to think she was innocent, playing with her mind.

Do Victor Victoria

But he played the pharoah or something like that in the batman tv series with Adam west and in the flying nun i recall that too

Its a great movie ..

Victor Charles Buono (February 3, 1938 - January 1, 1982) was an American actor and comic and briefly a recording artist. He was most famous for playing the villain King Tut on the television series Batman (1966-1968) and musician Edwin Flagg in Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? (1962), the latter of which earned him Academy Award and Golden Globe Award nominations. He was a busy actor from his late teens until his death at age 43, and with his large size and sonorous voice, he made a career of playing men much older than himself.

Yasss PLEASE do more Retro Reviews!!! Death Becomes Her, Cruel Intentions, Showgirls?! I need these in my life...!

lol Torch Song is so awkwardly great... that random number where she has subtle black face.. You guys should watch Flamingo Road

Once my brother told me I had that Bettie Davis stare. Biggest complaint of my life!!!

Edwin reminds me of Chris Farley.

OMG Yes.

That guy is King Tut from the Batman 60s show, if that helps.

The reason the actor playing "Edwin" the pianist looks so familiar is that he played the villain "King Tut" on the mid-1960's "Batman" TV series. Also, that ditzy teenage neighbor was played by Bette Davis' daughter, B.D., who would later write a scandalous book entitled: "My Mother's Keeper". Bette would then write her own in retribution, and both of them would never speak again... 🤔 😮 😱 😡 😞😓😩😤😡

You need to review sunset boulevard

Are we ever getting SPICE WORLD ??

Just rewatched this perfect movie yesterday and couldn't stop wishing that I could see you two review it. This is like a dream come true!

feuds now happen like 20, 30 years after the people have passed and its just one side

I'll suggest the movie: The Women (1939) or the movie RAIN. rumor has it that when Bette Davis was being announced at a luncheon for all the press and movie companies as the new Warner Brothers star, Joan barged in making a huge commotion (at the height of her fame) and all the cameras left Bette and went straight to her. That's one of those fab stories that makes me love their feud.

I am SO VERY MUCH on board for Retro Reviews! (And Avaryl was hilarious in this one.)

You two are fucking hilarious. LOVE your channel.

It would b cool if they would review Johnny Guitar ❤️

Piano guy is the monster in Young Frankenstein

Blanche guilt-tripped Jane into staying with her because the prospect of being wheelchair bound for the rest of her life was too scary for her to deal with. If you watched the film closely you would see that Blanche had never been alone, and that is why she wanted to keep Jane with her. As for how this film played, yes, Miss Davis was an actress while Miss Crawford was always just a movie star. You are correct in your assessment that in all her films--except for Mildred Pierce (her best performance, and so good in a role that Miss Davis actually turned down.)--she was simply in them. For example you could see that right in the middle of her lines she would glance down, see the drink in her hand, pause suddenly take a drink and then go back to her lines, and never touch the prop again. Classic.

hi Movie Bitches. I just binge watched Twin Peaks in prep for the 2017 sequel. I had not watched it since 1990 & 91. I know a guy who is so obsessed with the show he has decorated his house in honor of it. Anyway, his enthusiasm prompted me to do a re-watch. I had forgotten how marvelous is is! though of you two critiquing the episodes. Also, I agree with everything in the Baby Jane review. love your show! I have a Tshirt.

I saw this movie forever ago I forgot about it lol

I NEED YOU GUYS TO DO A REVIEW OF TO WON FU, PLEASE

I have the Feud Set It is really worth it an awesome series

Honestly shook because I just watched this movie for the first time tonight in preparation of Feud, only to be surprised by a video from you two :') I'm so hype for that damn show.

There's a letter from Joan to the director of Baby Jane, talking about Bette's B.O. I'm not sure if it's legit.

so good!! can you review california suite? it's so good!!!

LOVE! More retro reviews plsssss!

Oh my god I love these retro reviews! I REALLY hope you do one for "The Bad Seed"! If it inspired John Waters as a child you've gotta do it!

A few years back, they did a made-for-TV remake of this campy movie, starring real sisters Vanessa & Lynn Redgrave. Was a lot bloodier, scarier, and Lynn, as "Baby Jane" looked like an evil "Raggedy Ann" doll! 😱

Love this! So glad I found this, you guys have the same sense of humor as me lol 😝

OMG the shirts! THERE ARE SO MANY GOOD ONES! The Ornacia one and "Jesus is a Biscuit". THE. BEST.

i am so glad that you guys are doing this... would love to see you review movies like Young Frankenstein or Dr. Strangelove!!!

That guy in the B plot reminds me ofSenator Ted Cruz...haha.

OMG!!!Please tell me you are going to do reviews for Feud too...

The piano player reminds me of Mark Holton, who played Francis Buxton in "Pee-wee's Big Adventure," and played adult Stilwell in "A League of Their Own."

OMG yes retro reviews, YES PLEASE !

Kathy Griffin should take Joan's place on the red carpet ;). I'm having a REALLY hard time choosing among the shirts..

How do you not love this? Classic!

I totally was yelling at my screen for her to be smarter but that’s EVERY HORROR MOVIE. I think?

Forget young Blanche, you know who Alyssa Edwards looks spookily similar to? Barbara Steele!

do you guys know the spoof by 'French&Saunders'?? hilarious! xox Joe, Switzerland

I thoroughly enjoyed this. MORE

You guys definitely need to go back and review "Sunset Boulevard." There's a plethora of campy, unintentional humour to be found therein. 😆 Though it's not THAT retro (although I guess it is...) "The Birdcage" would also be a fun one. Maybe even go back and contrast it with the film version of the original "La Cage aux Folles." (Spoiler: I personally feel they improved upon it drastically.) Just some thoughts 😊. Regardless: just keep doing what you're doing! This is currently my favourite KZfaq channel. ❤

YES! Would love to see THE movies you need to watch to know your drag race HERSTORY. Like the ones Rupaul loves to references and such! Cant wait for your season 9 reviews more than the season itself!!!

If you guys don’t know, this movie is about gaslighting. Joan’s Blanche gaslighting Bette’s Jane that she’s the monster and Jane really became a monster later. She also want to abandoned Jane after she has the maid. So, Blanche’s the villain of the film.

Yes to Retro Reviews!!!!

Bette Davis is shit-disturber goals tbh. I'm so excited about the new series about their feud now that I know about Bette's on-set shenanigans. (Btw, I haven't seen the movie, but maybe Blanche didn't tell Jane the truth because she was scared of shit getting worse?)

omg do Gypsy for the next episode of this

I love the "Thanks, Cunts!" t-shirt!

It's kind of funny that they're featuring a vhs cover of Mommy Dearest, a movie about Joan Crawford rather than a movie Joan Crawford actually starred in.

Omg I love this idea

6:53, Well remember kids, there were no seatbelts back then. Also the point was Joan Crawford's character hated her sister so much she wanted her to the villain and think she was the villain for the rest of her life.

reminds you of joey from full house?

Hahaha OMG This is AMAZING! Whatever Happened to Baby Jane is so bad it's good. You guys need to review another Bette Davis classic - All About Eve.

Thank you, guys! I was having a bad time and I had no idea how much this was needed!

He reminds me of John Goodman in Roseann.

Oh, please do Whatever Happened to Aunt Alice and Play Misty For Me. Love you both. Smooch.

Best moment is the sponsor shout out 14 mins in.

DANGEROUS LIAISONS YOU BITCHES! :D At least I think it's one of the best fucking movies of all time. Do it do it do it! Make it happen!

the piano player reminded you to jason seagel

It's perfect. Loved it on multiple levels.

the best review channel out there!!!

I actually got the ending (if people don't want spoilers don't read this), and to be honest I don't think I'd love the film as much if it didn't happen as there's a lot of subtle foreshaddowing if you look closer. I know that the twist is controvercial even among people who love this film, but I personally love it and here's a run down of how it works for me: Blanche wanted to kill Baby Jane and when she failed to do that she decided to cook up a scheme to destroy Baby Jane's reputation and mental state for good. And she succeeds, it is a slow, crazy and self-destructive revenge, but it's nonetheless effective. Baby Jane built her life on being an innocent child star, favoured by her father and by the public, at the start of the film it's clear that this life has turned her into a brat egged on by mad and abusive father/manager. Lacking any actual talent in her adulthood unlike her sister (who did everything for her while maintaining a successful career), she became an inconvienience and public embarrassment. However, Baby was no real danger to herself or the public at this point, and she probably would have faded away from public life and her family, or just become a eccentric hasbeen recluse. If Blanche had just dropped all ties to her, like her employers and friends said she should, Baby likely would not have become the monster she is. But that's not what Blanche wanted. Blanche, influenced by her mother and decades of abuse from her father and sister, wanted Baby to be the dutiful, quiet supporter that she had been throughout her childhood. It was "her turn" so to speak, of being the object of love and devotion that Baby had been, and she was providing way more for the family that Baby ever did, so she was due some respect surely? Of course, that didn't happen, Baby was still the spoiled and ungrateful brat she always had been and showed no sign of changing. So, knowing she was never going to get that, the next best thing for Blanche would be to horrifically punish Baby Jane. When she fails to kill her and ends up paralyzing herself, she uses her money, influence and incredible acting skills to weave a fiction that casts Baby permenantly as the evil sibling that the world suspected she was but never had confirmation of. In the process she made sure that Baby was convinced that she was a truly horrible person and that she was only living and outside of jail thanks to her innocent and ever-forgiving sister. Blanche may be in a wheelchair and dependant on Baby's care, but Baby is also entirely dependent on Blanche for money, keeping quiet about her supposed crime and company (assuming Baby no longer had friends who wanted to be around her after rumors of attempted murder). And on top of that Baby clearly has (or at least had) crushing amounts of guilt over what she thought she did, why else would she stay to look after Blanche all those years and only now breaks down to torture her? She was holding it together all those years, only now she's old and bitter and nobody wants to be with her, not even her own family, so she snaps. She desperately clings to her life as an innocent child star not just because she mourns her life on the stage, but because it was the last time she didn't have to depend on her sister and was this pure person unlike the hated and pitiable mess of her own making. It would have been pretty easy to achieve I think, Blanche would have had enough money and clout to quash any real investigation into what actually happened, and the relevant authorities and friends would have helped to spread rumors that Blanche was intentionally covering up the case to protect her sister out of love and loyalty. Of course, they wouldn't be able to prove that, but that's a way more believable story than Blanche attempting to kill her sister and putting on this grand charade of guilt-tripping and gaslighting Baby Jane. Some of the act Blanche put on might have even been genuine, maintaining this lie for so long over something so relatively petty as sibling rivalry would be an even bigger burden of guilt than Baby Jane had to carry. The guilt Blanche feels (or fear of the lie being exposed and thereby viewed by the public as contemptable as Baby Jane is) would go a way to explain why she is so unnatrally forgiving and quiet about Baby's breakdown, she doesn't want to make a scene, she know she wants to cry for help but doesn't do it too loudly so it doesn't make the news or get herself into a position that requires people ask too many questions. It's noteable that the only person she reveals her scheme to is Baby once she is truly gone insane, even if she was to tell anybody nobody would believe her, I don't think Baby Jane fully understands what Blanche is confessing either, ensuring that the secret dies with Blanche and cementing Baby as the crazy, sadistic hag who paralyzed and killed her forever. The truth is so weird and "unlike" the beloved Blanche, of course they would go along with Blanche's lies, after all, she's the only "real" actor in the family. In many ways I think the events of the film mirror Blanche's decision to kill her sister in the first place, she tries to do this unspeakably horrible thing to Baby to punish her and it ends up backfiring and hurting her. Her scheme ultimately ends up turning Baby into a murderer and long-term abuser of Blanche, while it certainly must have been somewhat satisfying for Blanche to emotionally torture Baby all those years, it punishes her just as much as Baby. But she does it all anyway simply because of the absolute hatred she has for Baby and maintaining this act that supposedly makes Blanche the "better" sister, and at no point is it ever worth it for either of them. Baby's pathetic last words to her "you mean we could have been friends this whole time?" takes on extra tragic meaning, because they both understand on some level at the end that all of this torture, all of this lying for revenge, was pointless and killed them both. I might be thinking a bit too much into this film, but I hope that you folks can understand why I like it.

Auntie Mame 1958 would be awesome.

Ohh this series is gonna be great

Rosemary's Baby! (because the end is so much hahaha)

im so excited for this one!

But what was up with the title card at the beginning of the movie that says "Yesterday"??? Still bothers me to this day. Any ideas?

Did you guys know it was a book

I will personally pay you guys to review the 90's TV remake. I watched it right after seeing this for the first time and laughed my ass off. In horror. Loving the new videos and looking forward to Feud!

I love you two, I could laff with you two all day about "whatever happen to baby JANE" This is one of my best favorite movies of all time. Love Betty and jane. No one can re-make this movie today, they can try but it wont be the same. Betty and Joan Killed it. Good dam movie. The update version should just leave it be. Betty and Joan already did it. LOVE IT.

I loved this review!!! Avril knowing the history made this an Awesome review!!!

Well I really have only have one problem with this movie. It that after all Blanche has been through why did she ring doctor, instead of calling 911 to get help. She had been though enough shit to warrant it. Also she had Elvia the maid as a witness.

This gives me hope for a Showgirls review

I'm older than you two (whatever!). As an isolated young gay boy growing up at the time, I was living for this string of movies they were everything. So many Great Actresses in great scenery chewing, over the top performances. You should watch all of them! Bette again with Olivia DeHavilland in "Hush, Hush , Sweet Charlotte" Agnes Moorehead (Endora from Bewithched) gives the best performance ever in that. Also, "What's the Matter with Helen?" with Debbie Reynolds & Shelley Winters, AND "Whatever Happened to Aunt Alice?" with Ruth Gordon & Geraldine Page (one of the greatest ever & she kills it in this). "Charlotte" is in B&W the others in color. Do yourself a favor & watch all of these Camptastic Creations. "Who Slew Auntie Roo" with Shelley Winters also falls into this group. PS Love you two.

MORE JOAN CRAWFORD @moviebitches

OMG! I'd die if you guys did Caged. The original Orange is the New Black.

I liked Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte better( I watched, because of you) I think it better made and the twist in the end just great. I watched this one after, and Bette Davis is better in the Charlotte one, Olivia de Havilland clearly knows what movie she is in. So it works better, with her. So it's great Joan didn't do this one

I do think it was a little long but I really loved it. I was one of those movies that had me thinking about it even days after I watched it.

THIS IS WHAT I'VE BEEN REQUESTING EVERY TIME I COMMENT ON YOUR VIDEOS I LOVE YOU SO MUCH YAASSSSSSSSSS

They should remake it with Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie

He reminded me of the actor. Playing. Stillwel in a league of their own the older one adult version.

Soooo.... I had to see it.. because of Alyssa Edwards and Alaska.... like... I had to see... it... it was crazy bad good...

I also aspire to achieve Bette Davis's level of petty.
