Ebert on the relationship with Siskel: “How meaningless was the hate, how deep was the love.”

One second at each others' throats, the next finishing each others' sentences and laughing their asses off. These guys were awesome.

"the only religion to have readers digest as a prayer book" priceless.

Actually for me this shows that they didn't hate each other. But that they felt comfortable enough with each other that they could insult each other. For example I can insult the shit out of my best friend and he also can do the same to me without having hard feelings at all.

I cannot speak for everyone, but there are acerbic parts of my personality that most do not get to see. It takes a certain level of trust and understanding to be flippant in a way that is not hurtful.

"The only time protestants get on their knees is to adjust the fucking television set." Comedy gold from Roger.

"She said dire." "No, she said do-er." "Yeah, Do-er Straits, that's my favorite band..."

no friendship is greater than the one that is riddled with fights and insults yet stays strong.

Siskel was buzzed af. This was 1987, about 10 years before he was diagnosed with brain cancer, so don't blame it on that, geniuses. There's another Siskel & Ebert outtake on KZread with them insulting each other over MacDonald's, and they're BOTH lit. Check it out.

These guys weren't nearly as stuffy as their reputation. Siskel going to the mat for the original Mortal Kombat movie and Ebert praising Blade II to high heaven (and rightfully so) paints a very different portrait than what one would expect. They were good, knowledgeable, educated critics who also knew (and loved) great entertainment when they saw it. Miss these guys..

Friends and lovers argue but there was a rivalry between the two.

In his autobiography, Ebert says they loved each other like brothers...with sibling rivalry. Before each taping, they wouldn't discuss the movies on that program (so they'd be "fresh"on the show) instead they'd shoot one-liners at each other to warm up for the camera. Look at the end of this and see how they're riffing off each other and having fun.

Hated eachother? I'm not seeing it.

dude i give props to Ebert on the "bake sale" gag. lmao, it's STILL got me rollin'!

hahaha. the end was really funny. they seem like pals. check out the episode of The Critic with them in it. good stuff.

Gets better every time I watch this.

These guys fed off each other, and that's the formula for a successful duo!!!

I wish they would have done a show like this, not just Siskel and Ebert at the movies, just Siskel and Ebert, they are funny as hell.

This was great. Thanks !!!

The type of petty bickering that only a special bond can produce. ❤️

Great clip! Made me laugh. The way these two rib and rip each other reminds me of the way my sons harrass and insult each other but they love each other.

Listening to them swear does my heart good.

The only movie critic duo that is worth watching these days is Mike & Jay from Half In The Bag. Though completely different when compared to Siskel & Eberts friendly yet feisty chemistry, they both compliment eachother perfectly.

Gene and Roger had the right idea about yuppies 🤣🤣

omg dude i love these guys so much more lmao

Best behind the scenes ever. They hated each other, they loved each other, they loved movies, they hated movies... those were the days.

As a dyed-in-the-wool WASP, I say... well played, gentlemen! Thumbs up!

Hilarious! Thanks for posting this.

Now this is camaraderie! I so miss this guys!

They had a very strong *platonic* relationship. They obviously had their careers together for the same time, for years. Now, they are gone. They were best friends, best friends CAN and Do give each other shit and then have big laughs over it all.

to insult each other like that requires a link of friendship strong as steel.

They admitted that the at first they hated each other but grew to like and respect each other.

They loved each other ... I like that Ebert put this video himself on his blog to ilustrate their relationship

This is how 2 smart and witty people turn a shit day into a fun one! Lmao classic

God the religion stuff at the end killed me lol

I would love to have hung out with these guys for an afternoon or two.

Freaking hilarious. They're like bickering brothers, they were great together despite this.

I love these guys

“…and that’s Roger” Thanks for the clarification Gene! Lol😂

they seem like my two brothers and me on a home movie.....I don't know how anyone couldn't find that these guys actually enjoy and love being with each other

Hearing them say the F word is something I never knew I wanted to hear until now.

I love this!

ahahahaha! that was good "and the asshole.....and thats roger" that was pretty funny

wow!!! siskel and ebert suddenly has viewers now... people are relieving their memories before the show ends

I miss Siskel. These guys are 2 classic rivals, their reviews were like a battle!

Their best segment ever

This is fucking amazing

These are the kind of outtakes I live for! How candid is this?

Wow, that was pretty funny. Ebert said the F-word a few times. I love Roger Ebert...and I miss Siskel too!

Siskel: Medic Ebert: Heavy

You have to remember that "At the Movies" was the title of their PBS television show. In the eighties, they moved to syndication via Disney, and the title was changed to "Siskel and Ebert & the Movies." Other critics took their place on PBS for a while under the "At the Movies" title.

Back when there used to be movies in theaters every week… Now there is just content and property pieces

Wha! This is incredible.

Miss them both!

"In 1986, Siskel and Ebert left Tribune Broadcasting to have their show produced by the syndication arm of The Walt Disney Company. The new incarnation of the show was originally titled Siskel & Ebert & the Movies, but later shortened to simply Siskel & Ebert. At the Movies also continued a few more years with other hosts."

I wasn't sure at first, but I definitely agree.

"Everyone's a critic..."

I wish I could figure out how much of this is tongue-in-cheek.

these guys are hilarious together!

this is great

Roger wasn't - he was at least raised Catholic and went to Catholic school. Siskel was Jewish. That's why Roger jokes about "the Catholics and the Jews" while shaking Siskel's hand.

i would die if this was a movie review

Retitled as "Siskel and Ebert Uncensored and Unneeded" today.

now i got what was meant in the song when they said "Yes I'm Siskel yes I'm Ebert and you're getting two thumbs up" getting 2 thumbs up with these two needs a goodess!!
