Craig has aged very well, geez.

"The kitty of the fattest cat of all - me." The most appropriate Ernesto stinger ever!!

How, how, how in the world did you not make any Big Lebowski references during the scenes when John Goodman and Jeff Bridges were onscreen together?

I liked how "There are people who are not detractors of this movie" was about the nicest compliment that came out of this.

Rewatching this in 2018 always happy to watch these.

I never thought about watching movies once not being enough like Craig said. That really opened my eyes to judging movies so quickly on the first run. Maybe I'll give a go at some movies I hated, and also loved, on my first viewing just to see how they stand up on the second.

+DeathBlackWish The first time I saw inception I thought it was terrible. I watched it again recently and it wasn't all that bad. It did have some fun scenes and it wasn't poorly acted or anything. I still don't think it was worthy of all the acclaim it got but it certainly wasn't a terrible movie as I originally thought.

When I was in high school I decided to see what all that Bob Dylan fuss was about. I listened to Biograph and couldn't really get it. But on the second run-through, Tombstone Blues caught my ear and wouldn't let go. I played it over and over and thus became a Dylan buff. As to the chicken line, I think that's what really got him the Nobel.

Oh wow, this episode was so wonderful! Though watching pieces of Craig's soul crumbling away as the movie passed by was so sad.... "It's lemon scented..." love it. Also quite loved Craig's line about giving art a second chance, lovely. Thank you for another fantastic episode, fellas :)

i have been meaning to watch chinatown for a long time, thanks for giving me that final push, that movie did not disappoint

I stopped this video to go listen to "Tombstone Blues" which I hadn't listened to before. At least I gained that from experiencing this movie through this!

Nice basement tapes lp in the background

This was a great episode. The editing was really great

7:50 gets me every time for some reason

Good job Matt, two weeks in a row!

could it be? bob dylan and Neil Breen are the same person

Not enough tuna

First time listening to this show with a decent pair of headphones. I like how Matt is piped into the left ear, and Craig in the right. Nice touch, gentlemen.

Thanks for the Seen It mention, guys (Anatomy of a Murder). Amazing to know Craig was in a play with Kathryn Grant! Looking forward to X-Rated, and incidentally Midnight Cowboy was the first thing that came to mind when I saw that card... LOL

Haha I freaked out at the end. Next episode is gonna be ggggooooodddd

Another great show.

16:30 me too! Last year I saw Pink Floyd's the Wall for the first time and realised to my horror that I had actually seen it with my sister back when she was a teenager and I was like 4 years old. It suddenly explained soooo many nigthmares I had had as a kid :P

another great episode

This is the third time I've watched this episode. I've had serious reservations about watching Masked and Anonymous. I am a huge fan of Dylan and I also love Bridges and Goodman, so I might as well get it over with. Also, Black Dynamite. I have never even heard of it before, but any movie that Craig endorses, and says it was the hardest he has laughed deserves attention. Thanks and cheers. Greatest show ever. I love WTTB.

Black Dynamite is awesome, even if you have never seen a 1970's Blaxploitation film. But it does help.

Hair looks great, Craig!

Singing along with you guys "The sun's not yellow ..." is so fun :)

Love the show guys. I can't get enough of it. Have you guys ever seen Good Morning Vietnam? I just recently saw it and fell in love with it.

I didn't even know Bob Dylan ever acted. I love his music and we even share the same last name (Zimmerman not Dylan).

dylan is also in the movie pat garret and billie the kid with kris kristofferson

One of the greatest movies ever made. It's safe to say it wasn't made for these guys.

It was Magokoro Brothers - My Back Pages :) Thanks for help.

LADYKILLERS WAS GREAT! Talent Bomb=The Counsellor, of course. God bless you two gentlemen for being the only reviewers brave enough to tackle that one.

I knew not being able to fall asleep would have a silver lining

Love you guys wish I could have gone to bed sooner

One thing to note with Daybreakers is that it was an Australian production. We don't tend to make very good films, especially when we go after some sort of blockbuster style wide release thing. Animal Kingdom is the only thing of note to come out of my country I can think of in the last 10 years. It's somewhat of an artistic black hole here.

This seems like one of those boring bad movies which to me are the worst. If a movie is bad but it at least keeps me drawn in I'll keep watching it, but if it's boring I can't do it.

Why does every scene he’s in, seem like it’s not just Bob Dylan’s first day on Earth, but his first moments interacting with these humans he’s been writing about for so long? Craig’s response of: “Ooohhhh...noooo” was highly appropriate. When the little girl sings Times They Are A-Changin’, I honestly have never cringed harder. OH WAIT I WAS WRONG BECAUSE ED HARRIS IS IN FUCKING BLACK FACE. Also I loved how you completely didn’t mention the little girl or Giovanni Ribisi because of how inane 90% of this...movie? is. The rest of the movie is Dylan singing.

My favorite Animaniacs joke is when Wakko and Yakko are looking over the edge of a cliff and they have this dialogue: "Do you get vertigo?" "No." "Me neither, and I've seen it like 3 times."

Nice surprise as I did a quick check of KZread before bed. Curious as to which movie Matt will come up with for the next one. Hmmmmm

I was going to go to bed, AND SUDDENLY WELCOME TO THE BASEMENT

It reminds me of, "I know more then you think but less then you'd hope."

Huzzah!! The video has arrived!!

I just started watching this recently and I'm sad I missed sci-fi month! You have probably seen it but one of my favorite sci-fi movies is Sunshine.

How did you guys not make a Big Lebowski reference!!

Southland Tales...Most would put this into your talent bomb category...I know I don't completely understand it...but...I love it

Would you consider adding another short segment at the end of Scene-It, where you add a few movies that have been suggested that you'd like to add to your to-watch list?

They actually have. It's worth a watch.

16:30 I had a similar experience with the soldiers from Yellow Submarine. It was very stunning and weirdly satisfying to solve a decade-long mystery. Maybe this happens more often for kids who see bits of surreal movies (Dark Star).

great movie

You almost summed up all my feelings about Prometheus.

I haven't seen it yet but I have big fears that "The Butler" is going to be a talent bomb.

a great sub genre would be car chases/crashes. Bullit, Ronin, Gone in sixty Seconds (original or new), original Italian Job, the French Connection, Cannonball run. The list goes on and on. My favorite Raising Arizona. Everyone needs a little Cage now and then. Especially when hes in his natural state, crazy.

I watched the movie Clue based on your recommendation and loved it! Keep up the good work! Would you consider watching They Live or Toxic Avenger 4: Citizen Toxie?

17:45 I'm inspired by Craig's quote here. I'm going to tell all my friends that and make them watch movies with me. :)

Have you guys seen "Dracula: pages from a virgins diary" a ballet/silent film by director Guy Maddin and the Royal Winnipeg Ballet. If you have, could you please explain some of the symbolism? The thing with the gold coins and the petticoat over the window was right over my head.

"Salt water bad for glass." It's interesting that a number of people have this reaction to Vertigo. I don't think it's not liking the movie, I think people get hypnotized by it. I have yet to watch it all the way through without falling asleep. It's the same with vampire movies. I dare you to watch 'Short Bus' (2006)

the basement tapes! in the basement!

Woah, Rice Lake that's close to where in grew up in good 'ole Wisconsin

I know Ernesto is voiced by Matt but I still would love to dee him voice by John Goodman. It fits so well.

Larry Campbell was in this?!?! Hell of a guitarist and member of Levon Helm's band

I think you guys should watch more animated stuff. Anything from Hayao Miyazaki, but Princess Mononoke probably has everything a Miyazaki movie needs. The amazing crisp animation, the environmentalism aspect, great characters that pull you into the movie. I watched this when I was very young and it is my favorite movie of all time.

I agree. I think they are addressing the lighting problems from a few of the earlier episodes. If not more attractive then at least less feverish-looking. I mean all of this with love.

I love this show. Intellectual and funny..always a pleasure to watch. Have you guys seen the movie "Boxing Helena?" Not a masterpiece by far, but Ive never been able to forget it since seeing it 20 plus years ago.

I'd really like to see another sub-show that is just about music with you two beauties. Just music, just a thought.

One artist a show and going into what you like and don't like about said artist.

I'm not sure I agree with Craig when he says that you don't get everything from a song on the first listen. The example I have in mind is Sleep's Dopesmoker. Probably the first song over an hour long. It definitely gets you in a trance, and what's better is that I can hear every instruments, dub, etc. clear as crystal.

I liked it; just watched it again, it may be one of those that gets better the second time. I remember thinking the first time that the T.Hanks character seemed forced and stilted but the second time, I really saw the beauty of it.

Craig: You told me we weren't going to be watching porn... Matt: Well to late, you signed the contract, you have do it now... Craig: Can I atleast put some pillows on my groin while we watch? Me:.... O_O

what's that song in the beginning of the movie?

I agree..generally I am able to take the whole film in in one viewing, and you are right if the story can not hold you, little things that seem petty to others tear the film down. As Nostalgia Critic pointed out, if a film can not distract you from its technical flaws with its story, it failed. I feel that way about Last Airbender as well (love the show though) and in terms of not liking a popular film I will not see Man of Steel a second time. And as a lifelong superman fan.it really irks me.

"the comic book and me, just us, we caught the bus."

As a young person interested in films, can you guys make a segment that list must see movies?

I said that last week. He really does look like a young orson wells.

Maker's Mark at 0:23! Booyah!

Hey, i wonder if you have seen cloud atlas and the fountain? opinions? i can admit i did not completely get cloud atlas and the fountain was a big wtf to me

Has any other human looked more uncomfortable playing the electric guitar- than Bob Dylan?

Bob Dylan was in Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid, and he wasn't terrible.

Hey guys, first I'd like to say, thank you. Your views on film not only changed my perspective with each episode, they invigorate me to further explore the entire part of human life that is film. On to the fun stuff. I'm a enormous fan of british gangster films, my eternal favorite being Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking barrels. So I'd like to hear your opinion on this film, and your best recommendations for this genre.

Survive Style 5+! Phenomenal japanese movie!

Have you seen the 1980 film The Changeling? it's a great creepy horror with George C. Scott

Welcome to the Basement Tapes

have u seen a movie called mindwalk filmed in that French castle place its all dialog and great scenery

Have you guys seen Kung Fu Hustle? Really shows off Stephen Chow's surprisingly solid use of imagery, and is all around one of the best Kung Fu films ive seen.

I like this movie

Hey dudes, Loved the episode and the show, even though you never seem to have seen any of the movies I've seen. That's okay, you're just missing out on some great stuff :D I just saw God Bless America, and I thought it was pretty good. seen it?

For those that don't know X-Rated Movies back then would be R Rated now

you should watch Norman McLaren's Neighbours. Short films are an explored cinematic medium yet to be explored on WTTB and the film itself is a delightful experience with a lasting message. it is also available on KZread :)

You can tell when a Talent Bomb (which I nominate for WTTB's next TVTropes entry) is coming when the advertisements for the movie feature this blatant oversaturation of cast mentions (almost all of which are followed by snippets of them in the movie, as if to say "Yes, they're ALL here!"). You see it in things like Movie 43, New Year's Eve, and most, if not all, of the Scary Movie franchise.

Way to pick 'em Craig, lol. It's difficult to think of a movie to ask of you, the challenge seems to be to pick something right in that middle ground of obscure and older, and mainstream and newish. Curiouser and curiouser... Well then, have either of you seen "Treed Murray"?

Id love to watch these guys watch Hitchcock's Rear Window.

What would everyone recommend for one of John Goodman's better movies?

Have you seen the 2007 movie Teeth?

Have you fine fellows seen "Big Trouble in Little China"? It's one of my favorite movies, a fun-filled adventurous kung-fu action/comedy.

Dear god! Young Craig is Cesare from the Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. Since I've brought it up, I might as well ask if you guys have seen Dr. Caligari.

I love to hear you guys talk about John Carpenter movies. Have you seen Prince of Darkness? It's like an occult version of Assault on Precinct 13, and is part of Carpenter's Apocalypse Trilogy, which also included The Thing and In the Mouth of Madness.

I'm starting to wonder if the review of "Knowing without always being knowledgeable" may very well have something to do with-- "It's not enough to know the meaning of things, sometimes we have to know what things don't mean as well."

If you haven't seen it there is a great independent film you should check out called "Legless", you can find it on youtube it is like "The Hangover" but even funnier!

Yeah, the end of the Graduate/Sling Blade...

Oh, well like they said sometimes you don't get everything..something you saw as a plot hole might be explained in a bit of dialogue you missed the first time, a line in a song may make more sense to you later than it did at first viewing. You certainly dont have to give it a second chance, but sometimes you get surprised. .

Have you watched Holy motors? I really liked it, it's hilarious and makes you think about what that filmmaker wanted to portray.

You guys should watch Quintet. You may have seen it but its worth watching and commenting on. It's a really interesting movie. I

I need to know the japanese song from 4:10! PLEASE :O

I recently watched a damn good movie called Wilder Napalm. Not quite a comedy, not quite a drama, it was a huge box office failure, but I found it to be a genius film of some new bizarre genre I'm calling biographical fiction, because it seemed so real behaviorally. More believable fiction, I have not seen. A bizarre rivalry sparks again, when pyrokinetic brothers engage in heated scuffles over their shared burning passion for a romantic interest, whom one of the brothers in already married to!

This is my first 'Welcome To The Basement' episode. Where do I start from here?
