What happens when Werner Herzog and David Lynch make a movie together? Come and have a seat with us on the ol leather couch and find out as we watch My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done.
In Seen It, we examine another redeemable A-hole, the genius of Steve Martin and Matt and Craig reminisce about their theatrical careers. We also remember Roger Ebert.
All film footage is used in accordance with fair use and US copyright law. All music in the show is used with full permission of the composer.
Thanks for all the great comments. Keep em coming! If you watch one of the movies we discuss, let us know what you thought of it.
Welcome To The Basement" is a show about watching, discussing and having fun with movies. Matt choses the movie and Craig doesn't know what it is until the cameras start rolling, so none of the discussion or riffing is planned ahead of time.
Movie announced on facebook before every new episode. Get the movie and follow along.

This movie is hilarious all the way through, it’s a shame most people didn’t pick up on the humor
There's a Q&A clip floating around that I can't find anymore where Herzog is asked how much creative involvement Lynch had with the film and he point blank said "Nothing".
Only in the Lynch-verse could Willem Dafoe be playing the character LEAST psychotic!

I really wanna see these guys review a true psychotic Dafoe performance. Maybe To Live and Die in LA?
That David Lynch impression!
Matt's David Lynch impersonation was spot on. I think I alarmed all my neighbours by repeating it out loud for the next hour.
Razzle, Dazzle.
Apparently Lynch wasn't involved in the story at all. He heard he pitch from Herzog and through his new production company simply just financed the film.
Excellent as always fellas. I just found out that Matt voices Darth Vader in a lot of modern Star Wars games. That has to be awesome, becoming such an iconic character.
How the hell have i only just found this channel. You guys are awesome!
After watching Signs of Life, Herzog's first narrative feature, I was surprised to find that My Son, My Son is basically a remake of the last act of that earlier film. Just as Michael Shannon holes up inside his house in My Son, My Son, the final 30 minutes of Signs of Life revolve around a German soldier who suffers a nervous breakdown and takes control of a military stockpile, holding the surrounding town to ransom while his friends and coworkers try to figure out what he wants and how to talk him down
"I must have an ostrich devour a pair of glasses"
When Matt said "Kayaking! In Peru!", I did a spit take with my green tea. Thanks, Matt.

Alex Charlton Ah yes the famous green mist. Happens to a lot of folks :)
I would love to see a "hour long special" where it's just Matt & Craig (possibly others) around a table and just talking about a specific cinematic theme. Bringing your experiences to the discussion is always very engaging to the viewer in my opinion. Keep up the great work guys. ^^
the back and forth of lynch and herzog collaborating was hilarious. That could have gone on at least another 10 seconds and I still woulda be lolzing.
Matt's Lynch impression is spot on.
Matt's Lynch impersonation is hilarious.
This show is one the highlights of my month, I love all of your musings, its just giggles from start to finish! Thank you! :) x

I agree
Great show! Thanks guys... :)
I wouldn't worry about it. You kind of know how it's going to end right at the start. Knowing what happens won't ruin your "enjoyment" of it.
Willem Dafoe? Michael Shannon? Long, horrible Lynchian silences? SIGN ME UP!
Rip roger. I love this show. I know I'm late to the party but I just found out about you guys 2 days ago. Bravo sirs.
I'm so glad Craig shares me view on Nicholson's performance in The Shining. I've been saying it for years and no one else agreed with me.
I also knew the dog as "Stupid" thanks to my dad's awesome addiction to recording TV on the ol' VCR back in the day.
That Lynch impression is spot on.
It sounds like Herzog was trying to make a cross between If.., We Need to Talk About Kevin, and The Shining
Great episode guys. And nice to see the Ebert tribute.
I love this series!
What a spot-on Lynch impression
Another great episode,
Jesus, if there was a scene where Shannon and Dafoe at their most crazy/scary faced off with each other, the whole movie would catch on fire and explode. Get some Walken in there too and nobody would be able to make a movie again
Lovely tribute to Ebert guys.
Dear lord, this is the kind of movie I would NEVER be able to sit through; and I thank all the assembled pantheons that you guys are here to do it for me. Thank you, gentle sirs, for doing what you do. It's hugely entertaining, and sometimes I learn a bit about the art of film, purely by accident. ^_^
Craig's look after he says "ostriches hostages" is fantastic. Great episode. You guys should watch the movie "Rubber." A very off-kilter movie about a killer car tire.
Great tribute to Roger Ebert at the beginning.
Eagles In Drag by the Donna Henleys made this viewing worthwhile. Thanks Craig.
First, I think this is one of the best show on KZread. Second, You guys are amazing. I think I have watched just about every episode. Third, I have a movie suggestion but I'm sure you have already scene it. How about Ghost World. Coming out of high school I really identified with it.
I love Beer & Board Games and this show. The only thing I wish is you would upload both these shows more often. I think you should upload Welcome to the Basement once a week. You would enjoy it anyway because you love your movies!
Hey guys love the show i look forward too every episode. Have you guys seen Akira Kurosawa's Sanjuro, i just watched it this week and it's the first film in a long time that have made me feel thrilled.
Awesome episode :-)
This is unique, I like it. Great job guys. Not that you need my approval, haha.
Oh my gosh why do you guys have to be so awesome all the time?!?!?!?!?!
I didn't used to like Craig, based solely on his role as Weird Jimmy in Chad Vader. But he's all right. This show redeemed him. He's funny and insightful. Keep up the great work gents.
I believe the reason the acting in "My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done" is so wooden is because Lynch originally intended one the roles to be played by the psychic log from Twin Peaks. On an unrelated note, I'd love to see you guys watch "A Scanner Darkly", which in my opinion is the best adaptation of a Philip K. Dick story ever put on screen.
Despite agreeing with everything you say about the movie, I still loved it. I just adore Herzog and Lynch so much that I don't care that whole film has no real point. Just sitting and watching all this needless weirdness is just so great.
"This one's for eating this one's for fun" - Best line!
I nearly peed myself! Thanks guys.
i love that you have the Road House Soundtrack on vinyl
Great idea :D
I love how you don't show the word shithead but saying asshole is ok lol. Great video guys.
Agreed and seconded.
I have a recommendation but fear/hope it will end up in Seen It. The Peter Sellers classic "Being There"? Keep up the great work, gents.
I'm wondering if you guys would review short films as well. (: Love the show btw.
12:44 was a great lynch impression.
Got to make a correction here - Bug did not debut at Steppenwolf. It debuted at the Gate Theatre in London and it's Chicago debut was at A Red Orchid Theatre (where it was rehearsed before moving to London). A Red Orchid is Michael Shannon's company which he co-founded with Larry Grimm and Guy Van Swearingen.
Is there anyway we can see video of you guys in Much Ado? It's my favorite Shakespeare play, and I would love to see you guys in it!
Love the intro graphic of the couch. Make it a Tshirt!
Cyprus ! Nice little reference their Craig
Shannon is amazing in "Boardwalk Empire"!!
You guys need to see one of the Herbie films. I recommend Herbie Fully Loaded. I saw it when I was 9 and I loved it!
Steve Martin continues to be cutting edge in twitter I think. He uses twitter so well.
I'm surprised you guys didn't enjoy this movie. I was so looking forward to watching this, because it was this very movie that got me to love M.S. as much as you guys seemed to love him. Oh well, at least we still have Shot Gun Stories... right?
I have not seen either of the Steve Martain movies mentioned but now I want to.
that's a coincident im going to the movies today and i dont know the guy that just pasted away but will look him up and maybe enjoy the movie more remembering who i just learned about thanks to Matt
My last name is Hertzog! Maybe I can ride this coincidence all the way to stardom.

Hi Matt, have you had a chance to see "A place beyond the pines" yet? I saw it last night and left very unsatisfied - a real missed opportunity I thought. Would love to hear your thoughts on it!
The Shining is amazing. I generally don't like horror as a genre because I find most horror movies are ineffective at creating a true sense of dread or fear. That being said I recently saw "The Cabin in the Woods" and I loved it. I think of it more as a comedy than a horror movie, but I was hoping you guys would watch it. I know you have your year planned out already, but consider putting it on next year's list. And as always, great job fellas. P.S. "From Dusk Till Dawn" kicks ass too.
I liked the weirdness of it...the slow pace and creepiness. Sure, a Lynch-Herzog collaboration had a lot of potential to create something incredible. Unfortunately for us, they decided to make whatever they fuck they wanted to instead. I still appreciate the end result because I don't think every film has to be meaningful and moving. Sometimes it can just exist as a big box of stuff. Great video as always, guys! For "Seen It", might I suggest Enter the Void, Gummo, or The Holy Mountain? Cheers.
You guys probably know about this, but seriously... Michael Shannon as General Zod. How freaking awesome does that sound?
I used to think that there was very little David Lynchness in this movie, but the new TP series showed me how I hadn't caught on to a massive broadening in scope he has had starting with Inland Empire.
Speaking of Steve Martin, I wanted to recommend the 1997 film The Spanish Prisoner. An electrifying indie thriller and probably the only film in which Steve Martin plays a dramatic role. If this wasn't enough, it's written and directed by David Mamet. Definitely a must see!
Every time I see Michael Shannon in a "Man of Steel" promo I think of this show
YEAH NEW WTTB
I love David Lynch and Werner Herzog and Rubber and Paranoia Agent(Anime) and Eternal Darkness(videogame) and other Crazy things. I will check this out.
Hey guys, love the show! Have you see the documentary about the community of homeless people living in the new york subway system, "Dark Days"? It's my favourite documentary.
Have you guys seen the Disney movie "Bed-knobs and Broomsticks"? It is My favorite Disney movie and the music by the Sherman Brothers is one of the reasons I love it.
It should be your next project guys!
That movie is hilarious lol
you guys should watch (Elvis and Nixon, 2016). It stars Michael Shannon as Elvis
Why is the whole world staring at me?
Love you guys. Favourite KZread show. Seen This - "The Thin Red Line" - Malick, one of my favourite films, for some reason a lot of people I know don't like. I'm guessing you have seen it. How about "Flight of Dragons" My favourite movie as a child, and still in my top ten.
Don't get your hopes up.
Michael Shannon performance coming up as General Zod in Man of Steel in theaters this June 14th. Can't wait.
You guys should do an episode focusing on a weird early 80's movie. Maybe those that tried to capitalize on a music or dance fad popular at the time. Some examples, Xanadu(disco and roller skating) Breakin', Breakin' 2 Electric Boogalo(break dancing). Or maybe just an episode dedicated to early 80's darling Lucinda Dickey. lol
In the case of this movie you're certainly correct. But when he's good he's pretty great.
If you haven't seen Michael Shannon reading the sorority letter on funnyordie, you need to. Any respectable Shannonite must see this!
I think the dinner freeze scene was emphasizing the awkwardness of the three together, punctuating that it was a painful an amount of time that can seem to never end, magnifying it. Or they're all catatonic. Not sure.
Micheal Shannon, Willem Dafoe, Udo Kier and Brad Dourif all in the same film...I must see this for myself.
I think the reason Stephen King didn't like Kubicks version of the Shining had alot to do with the fact that in the book the family are very happy until the house begins to influence Jack but in the movie there is tension between them right from the start. Really enjoyed this episode. Have you seen The Kentucky Fried Movie by John Landis.

Yupp, it is. I believe Kubrick also admitted Nicholson was not the correct choice for the turn, since everyone could see the turn coming.
Hey guys I love the show. Just wondering if you ever saw The Astronaut Farmer. If you have I hope this makes it to the Scene It section, I really want to know what you thought of it.
It was. I was thinking the same thing.
Yes. Yes I would.
Have you guys ever seen a movie by Tart Bèla. He is a Hungarian director with a truly one of a kind aesthetic to his movies.
You know, I'd kind of like to see your thoughts on recent films like Heart String Marionette. I'm still not sure how I feel about that one, but it's an interesting watch and has a remarkable story behind it.
"Jerk 'em off"
I laughed at "the Donna Henleys" way more than I probably should have.

Hey, you two! Have you seen Boondock Saints? Probably the only movie I have seen that is about two brothers. Billy Connolly is also cast in it, who is one of my favorite stand-up comedian.

The girl who plays the fiance is playing a character on Portlandia, which is a very entertaining show.
I have been getting into the works of Franz Kafka. Have you ever watched or plan to review Orson Welles 1962 adaptation of Kafka's "The Trial"? That would be a good one to review.
Heh heh you too looks so pissed about something XD
