years ago my uncle got roger ebert to write an autograph to me. my uncle told him i always disagree with his reviews and told him i love movies like maximum overdrive and other b-movies. he wrote to me "Dan - disagreeing is great. it shows you know your mind." and signed his name. it's written on a chicago train schedual. i keep it on my movie shelf with all my horror dvd's. i wasn't even there when he wrote it, and he still took time to write something nice for someone who he knows disagreed with him alot. much respect to ebert.

I saw this comment before🤔

47:55 I was curious to know what movie Michael Caine was accepting an Oscar for when he missed the ceremony due to his commitment in "Jaws: The Revenge". Turns out it was a Best Supporting Actor award for 1986's "Hannah and Her Sisters". That's okay. I've never been a fan of Woody Allen. A quote from Caine about "Jaws: The Revenge", extracted from a 2013 article in The Telegraph: "I have never seen it, but by all accounts it is terrible. However, I have seen the house that it built, and it is terrific.”

Roger Ebert would've absolutely adored Hereditary.

Everything on this channel is so polished and developed with such insight. Both The Kill Count and Dead Meat Podcast feel like they elevate what's expected from KZreadrs. Congratulations on the 1M subscribers. It's well deserved! (PS) I watched Return to the Valley of the Dolls on IFC in college before IFC had commercials, and I personally loved it. Have watched it a few times since as a guilty pleasure and it's fun to hear about it considering I may be the only person in my social circle that has watched it.

Wow, what an exceptionally nice comment! Thank you!

The Roger Ebert review of I Spit on Your Grave is one of his harshest, but it’s so well-written, and almost builds the horror-like suspense around this “ugly/vile” film he’s discussing, like it’s some forbidden horror he doesn’t even want to acknowledge. Also one of the only films he ever walked out on and gave zero stars. And... yeah I can’t really hold that against him.

Hey y'all! Recent follower of the Dead Meat channel (congrats on 1 million subs BTW!), and I have to say, although I enjoy the utter craziness of James's main channel, I have to commend Chelsea for doing such a great job on the Dead Meat podcast. She always come up with some really interesting, thought-provoking topics to discuss, and I really learned a lot of stuff about the horror genre just from this podcast. Really hope Chelsea does more one-shot movie discussions, I like to hear them dissect movies with a more critical mindset. Keep 'em coming!

Just about everybody trashed The Thing. Ebert giving it 2 1/2 stars was a blessing. It's one of those movies that critics have revisited and reevaluated and placed in much higher regard. It's certainly considered an outstanding psychological thriller/horror today.

@GuineaPigEveryday

Жыл бұрын

yeah and I don't think he was too harsh on it either. I gotta admit, when I first watched The Thing, I was disappointed in the characters. The effects, brilliant ofc, and the action cool, but the characters and pacing really annoyed me, even though I'm definitely used to slower paced movies. I think its definitely a movie to rewatch if you don't like it the first time around.

@casesoutherland4175

Жыл бұрын

I've noticed that James's favorite horror movie The Thing and Chelsea's favorite horror movie The Texas Chain Saw Massacre have gotten mixed reviews from Roger Ebert. At least he praised the acting and the special effects in both!

I just couldn't believe Siskel gave Aliens a thumb down because he didn't like Newt being put in jeopardy, but he thought Carnosaur was good. Mind blown.

@casesoutherland4175

Жыл бұрын

I completely disagree. If there's one movie I agreed with Gene Siskel on, it's "Aliens". I love "Alien"! It's legitimately one of the scariest movies I have ever seen in my life! It's probably the only horror movie that made me cry out of fear. But, good God. I absolutely HATE "Aliens" with a passion! It's the number one movie I hate but everyone else seems to love. It is exactly the same as all of the sequels afterwards: lazy action fluff with masculine forgettable characters that are just there to get killed, zero suspense or horror, complicated subplots about science and morality crap, and worst of all, no surprises whatsoever!! "Alien" is the perfect masterpiece of horror and it did not need any, I repeat, ANY sequels!! And Siskel and I aren't alone! Giger, The designer of the xenomorph, is not a fan of the sequels at all and I relate to him so much! I heard that another movie of the franchise is currently being made and I REFUSE to watch it. "Alien" should have been a standalone classic.

Chelsea Rebecca No problem

Michael Caine’s infamous quote about ‘Jaws the Revenge’: I have never seen it, but I’ve seen the house it has built and it is fabulous.

I actually watched The Devils Rejects yesterday! When Chelsea was asking James what movie he thought it was, the whole time I was like “devils rejects devils rejects devils rejects”. James reaction was so funny to me because it is a strange movie, and obviously the acting is... a blunder, but taking a further step into analyzing it, it’s a great movie. It’s so rare to find a movie post 2000’s that reallllly give you that 70’s feeling to it, with the whole way it was cut including those cheesy transition scenes. If you guys haven’t seen it in a good while, give it another whirl. It was fun to watch. Love the podcasts Chelsea ❤️ you two are great and I am a huge supporter of the Dead Meat channel!

I have fallen in love with these podcasts. These two are adorable together, and make watching these utterly enjoyable!

There's something almost poetic about how Roger Ebert died on April 4, 2013, and the Evil Dead remake was released on April 5, 2013. Such a fabulously gory remake of a widely maligned original.

I have never in my life sat through a whole podcast before till just now. Fantastic, great stuff.

"I Still Know What You Did Last Summer" assembles the building blocks of idiot-proof slasher movies: Stings, Snicker-Snacks, false alarms and point-of-view baits-and-switches. We'll get back to those. The movie's R rating mentions "intense terror violence and gore," but only its publicity team could consider it intense or terrifying. Gore it has. -Roger Ebert's review of I Know What You Did Last Summer 3

This is the first Dead Meat Podcast I listened to from beginning to end. It was really enjoyable to play along and realize how much knowledge I have about horror movies based on the reviews and Chelsea’s clues. I even giggled at the “shit, shit, shit” clue because I knew what it was instantly. I have been a fan of the kill counts for years and I am glad my first foray into this new rabbit hole was so enjoyable. On to the next!

Congrats on 1 million subscribers you earned it.

I died when it took so long for James to guess Human Centipede while I was screaming at my phone 🤣 great episode as always, Chelsea

As a film buff growing up in Chicago, Roger Ebert had a huge influence on my life. As Chelsea said, I didn't always agree with him, but I always enjoyed his reviews. I always liked that he compared movies within their own genre and on what they were trying to achieve. He didn't dismiss popcorn movies out of hand, unless they failed to be entertaining. p.s. Anaconda is indeed a crap movie, but my family had a blast watching it back in '97.

It's my birthday! Thank-you for the good podcast 💖

Love your channel so much been her since 50000

I used to watch siskel and ebert with my grandma growing up.I once asked "why do you watch this they just complain about movies" She said "Because they talk out of their ass and the shit that comes out is funny" lmao Like my grandma hated horror but she was also said "Well its (horror) not my cup of tea but i'm not gunna flip out on somebody for not liking a western"

I've always found it very interesting to observe the parallels between horror fans and non horror fans in film criticism. To really follow and appreciate a critic you have to know their biases and thats an interesting place to start.

This was a lot of fun. I've read so many Ebert reviews over the years, that I remembered most of the review excerpts, I just couldn't place them. It was frustrating, ha ha. Re: Hellraiser, I don't remember anything enough to care, but Hellraiser 2 is the only movie I've walked out on, or, in this case, stopped the DVD. Just once in my life. What bothered me was that the first hour was exasperatingly boring. I vividly remember vociferously berating the movie for taking so long to go nowhere. The appropriate feeling was stultifying, that's a good word.

The field metaphor for the happening is what helped me guess it. So it was a good clue.

I love playing along with the game podcasts, I only got 11 of these right though

I don't know why but I just found out like all my friends love this channel too

I know what you did last sumer was written by Lois Duncan. She also wrote Ransom.

That episode of Siskel and Ebert is my favorite episode of that this show.

I really enjoyed this video a lot.

Great congrats to my boy on hitting a million

This was a blast

I always listen to DMP when I can’t sleep thanks for helping me sleep

One film I saw a video with Ebert was him and Gene Siskel giving a surprisingly positive review on Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer. Well earned if you ask me. Both gave it a thumbs up.

The Hellraiser review broke my heart.

OMG so this is where James hatred for I'll Always Know What You Did Last Summer came from! It's so fun watching these older podcasts.

Yea, it's LOIS DUNCAN, and yeah, she pretty much said that she thought the mystery in the movie was "just buried for a typical Slasher Movie, with Of Course, a Killer with a hook for a hand". (what's far more creepier is that her daughter was murdered and she wrote a memoir about trying to hunt down her daughter's killer, so she's better known for her YA novels, but she's totally talented).
