BlameSociety As a person on the autism spectrum, those numbers speak to me. They say, "This college film is freakin weird, man."

Fun fact about this episode's gift: Ken Jennings, the guy who made 2 million bucks on Jeopardy, carried a little Totoro in his pocket on all of his episodes.

I love it when you guys explain the movie at the same time beside each other, it's so cute

"cornell west disapproves" is my favorite Google image search of the week.

I made the same mistake with The Lost Weekend; I could have sworn there was a WttB episode of it. Glad you talked about it here!

im only 12 mins in but that new meme made me fucking laugh so hard that my breakfast leaked out of my nose

Does this mean that Matt, one of the best Vader/Jones impersonator, who has his own show on Cinema, who is fortyish, had not yet seen THX-1138??? Aaaa-mazing.

Oops! Sorry, my mistake then. Hey Craig! I've just ordered and read, because of you, a used copy of Double Indemnity. Also loved how you were moved by your second viewing of Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice. I love it too. Thanks for this year and Happy Holidays to you and Matt!

You guys should do Sorcerer. I watched it not too long ago and found it so impressive, that it deserves a discussion.

You should totally make the screaming lady a thing.

Congratulations, Charles Grodin! Ever see him hosting early seasons of SNL? It's, uuuuuuhhhhhhhhh.. quite entertaining.

Every fan of this show has had the experience of searching through old episodes for Ray Miland and his chiropteric friend, it is very good to see that it's been put to bed.

Favorite show on KZread. I might have said this before and if so (and if you actually read it) I apologize for the redundancy, but if y'all made a podcast that was pure Seen It's I would be sure to listen. I feel like that might be easier to edit and possibly more accessible to people because sometimes listening is more convenient than watching. And you would potentially have more time to expand on your thoughts on certain films rather than just one or two little nuggets. Honestly I think I could listen to you two talk movies all day. Anyway, I'll stop rambling. Thank you for broadening my movie horizons every year! Keep up the fantastic work and I promise that one day, when I'm not struggling to pay rent, I'll make a hefty donation.

lissalo Such a great idea! I would love a podcast of some kind :)

And Stu gets snubbed once again for the Hall of Fame :(

The gods must be crazy, seen it? One of my favourite comedies to come out of my country. I know you guys would do it justice to watch or talk about.

Happy holidays to you both (and to Cecil), this is one of my favorite shows on youtube and I can't wait to see what you bring next year!

Thanks guys for another year of this great show! Looking forward to 2017 and all you'll be talking about.

Great video as always, totally nascent.

Greatest show on the internets, hands down.

What an incredibly nascent episode! And fun to see you guys sitting next to each other on the couch watching the cam.

From what I saw of Bottle Rocket, reminded me of Rick Linklater.

Always a cheerful day when there's a new Welcome To The Basement. Ooh, and Daydream Nation in the background!

Thanks for another wonderful year, guys. Wish I could have donated more often, but regardless you three never fail to produce quality entertainment.

What another great year of WttB. Best show on KZread. You guys are the best movie critics ever and I can't wait for next year. PUNCH!

hey hey. just what i needed.

"The Lion Sleeps Tonight" rofl--my thoughts exactly when I first heard that song on a Yardbirds compilation. Gotta say though, "Still I'm Sad" is a great song.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, boys. Here's to another five great seasons; I'll be here for every darn episode.

Next christmas you should watch: Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence.

great show, good shit, been around since episode one and am so glad to see the show continue on, and as smart and entertaining as ever.

I had that Flash Gordon record when I was a kid!!!!

I just woke up my dog laughing at your new scream meme! Thanks guys, keep it up!!!!

Great season guys....finished late due to holidays but better late than never. Keep up the great works!

Happy holidays guys! Can't wait for the new season.

Try this experiment: play Throbbing Gristle in your car as you go through the automated car wash (while seated inside your car). Not sure if they let you do that where you are, but I did it several times in the 80s. The experience was almost Disneyland like.

ahahahah I also want a Totoro' puppet with an umbrella XD Happy holidays guys ;)

Wonderful episode, sure to be one of the WttB classics!

Another great episode! Have yourselves some happy holidays guys!

Jessica Harper! i was anticipating the name as soon as you mentioned the hall of fame and you delivered beautifully. thank you thank you! - a big fan of hers and the show all the best in 2017!

Im gonna say it again, Narc, its so good :)

Wow, what a beautiful episode! You start off with talking about a podcast I just listened to couple of days ago, spice it up with a Throbbing Gristle reference and you have Daydream Nation in the background. Fantastic as always! Also I made a list, I don't know if it's really a thing, but it is for me. If I remember correctly, Craig took on a challenge last season(?) to see 150 movies during the year, I wanted to see a hundred (that I hadn't seen before).

That shot in the Bottle Rocket short film of the flowers with Vince Guaraldi's 'Skating' is one of my favorites in all of Anderson's films. I really wish it had been redone in the feature.

@TAEpley

I was just thinking that the Vince Guaraldi appearance was the one distinctly Andersonian touch in this film (well, maybe the pinball machine as well). There were a few more standard-bearers in the feature-length version, and finally in "Rushmore" the iconography was fully in place.

T.A. Epley I completely agree with this statement.

The female runner: Lara Lindsey. She was also the voice of the computer in the tv series Logan's Run. I didn't know there was a tv series until I looked on imdb just now.

Fun fact: the beating sounds at the beginning of NIN;s Mr. Self Destruct are sampled from THX-1138. Also, kudos for Daydream Nation in the back there.

Nascent was the correct word to use there, Matt. Good job!

Such a totally nascent episode. Missed the Beethoven episode somehow, nice to have an extra one I haven't yet seen though. Merry Couchmas everyone

Cheers for all the vids in 2016

The end of year show is always one of my favorites.

Fantastic Owen Wilson Matt. I'm disappointed that Craig didn't join in with a Luke.

Kelly's Heroes is one of my favorite films. Fun fact: it also was a huge inspiration for the video game "Battlefield: Bad Company." The plot revolving around the soldiers forsaking the war when they find gold is also featured in said video game when B company (Bad Company) happens upon the exact same thing and must stave off both sides of the war in their attempts to procure the gold

Dammit Craig, you made me think about Hamburger Lady by Throbbing Gristle, right before bed... :(

Great work

Seen it: "Carlos the Jackal." Originally a 3-part miniseries with a theatrical cut from The Criterion Collection, it's a biopic about the international terrorist Ilich Ramirez Sanchez. It's got great locations and a fitting post-punk soundtrack featuring New Order and Wire. Thanks for a great year!

I like the show a lot as well as beer and board games, good job and merry Christmas Matt Sloan and Co. check Leon the professional, the best movie of all time IMO, just watched Brazil on your recommendation, was good stuff.

The Pepper guy later on starred as Bubbles in the Trailer Park Boys.

Hmmm, still looks way better than the Star Wars prequels, though. :3

a palpable hit

Y'know, the film immersion tank for a short film might be really interesting as a WttB episode.

Not sure if you know this Matt but Paddy Chayevsky wrote the screenplay for Altered States as well, but due to creative differences with Ken Russell he had a pseudonym used for the credits. Speaking of Russell, have you seen *The Devils*? It's a wild movie, maybe a bit too much for the show

30 Odd Foot of Grunt (not Grunts) - '30 odd' means 'about 30' and 'grunt' means powerful, usually in reference to engines. I've never heard of '30 odd foot of' something as a colloquialism, but I take it to mean 'a lot of'. I've never heard their music, but always thought it was kind of a fun name.

If only Wes Anderson was the one that went on to direct Star Wars.

Hey guys! I hope you have a great Christmas! Have you seen the Rockumentary "Such Hawks, Such Hounds?" It is absolutely amazing. It chronicles the rise of some very very under rated artists and an under rated genre in general.

I'd like to pad myself on the back for guessing you'd pick "fighting" for your hall of fame in the last episode. January will be a long month.

Nas·cent adjective (especially of a process or organization) Just coming into existence and beginning to display signs of future potential.

I wonder if Welcome to the Basement fans will ever become divided over big leather couch vs old leather couch.

I was rooting for Edmond O'Brien to get into the HALL OF FAME. Maybe next year.

nas·cent ˈnāsənt,ˈnasənt/ adjective (especially of a process or organization) just coming into existence and beginning to display signs of future potential. synonyms: just beginning, budding, developing, growing, embryonic, incipient, young, fledgling, evolving, emergent, dawning, burgeoning

Speaking of Ray Milland, have you seen The Uninvited, a good old fashioned ghost story from 1944. Perhaps the first example of a Hollywood film in which the ghosts turn out to actually be ghosts and not rum runners and underground Nazis attempting to scare the people away from a house or a place so that they can continue their nefarious deeds (ala Hold That Ghost, etc).

Have you seen Sunshine directed by Danny Boyle? I recently watched it and didn't quite know what to make of it. Would love to hear you guys discuss it.

It's weird to see this film in 4:3 and then I realized you're NOT watching THX-1138, you're watching the 4EB version which was the student project you mentioned! Have you seen the actual film itself?

$9 in 1994 equals $14.60 today.

Have you guys seen Akira Kurosawa's Ran?

Matt, have you seen Blue Valentine? If you can endure the grotesque visage of Ryan Gosling once again, it is quite a beautiful film to enjoy.

I'm glad matt gave props to roar. after seeing the episode i knew i had to see it for myself still havent though, know where i can?

I got it from a video store in Madison. And yes, Madison still has a video store, and one that would have a copy of Roar.

Le Samouraï has a notable chase scene.

Woah!

Could someone provide a timecode as to when they discuss the topic in the title?

I know I'm kinda late, but I thought maybe you'd like to know Russell Crowe's band changed their name from "Thirty Odd Foot of Grunt" to "The Ordinary Fear of God" (so they could still keep their acronym TOFOG). Still stupid, but not as hard on the ears lol
