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. We do discuss the entire movie, including the ending, so if you want to avoid spoilers, watch the movie first.

I am in love with this show. I have watched every episode countless times. Matt and Craig have ruined me. Ask my friends. Nanook knows.
9:55 This is my favourite WTTB moment ever, I keep rewatching it over and over again and laughing harder each time xD
Not muuuuurrrder!
Stan Strange my boyfriend and i quote it all the time!!
I know this comment is old af. But do any of you know what this joke is a quote or reference to? I really feel like I've seen or heard it in a movie but I can't place it.
I cannot explain how cosy and warm inside this and beer and board games makes me feel. Keep up the good work.
I've been going through a great ordeal with my family being in the hospital and its taken a lot to keep me going so Ive been binging on Welcome to the Basement. Its really given me something to keep my sanity through all this. Thank you
Well, based on the pre-credits conversation, I pose this question to you, Matt and/or Craig: Is there any movie that, in retrospect, you wish you hadn't seen at all?
Ever seen the 1978 Star Wars knockoff Starcrash? It has to be the most entertaining of the late 70s Star Wars knockoffs with incredible camp and the perfect amount of cheesiness!
I think reading/experiencing everything applies to philosophy as well. In the same way that reading a bad book can teach you how not to write, reading a philosophy you disagree with can strengthen your own position and cause you to seek out and possibly fix the flaws of your own philosophy.
I think Matt bears a striking resemblance to Orson Welles. I wouldn't mind seeing these two act in a movie. I bet they would be incredible. I'd love to see them in a film noir. btw, I love Seen It. I always hear about films I have never seen before. I am an insomniac, and I'm sitting here with a drink in my hand, so when I heard you guys discuss "Barfly", I knew I had a way to kill a couple of hours. I have never even heard of Barfly until tonight.Mickey Rourke and Faye Dunaway? You betcha. Thank you WTTB. You never disappoint.
Love the Ealing comedies---thanks for talking about them.
All The Smiths references! Love it! :)
I want Matt to star in Orson Welles´ biopic! He definitely has the look, and I think he could pull off the acting too. Can the universe make this happen!?
You guys know so much of what you're talking about, that I don't know what you're talking about. But I can research what I don't know so it turns out it's a great help. You guys are fantastic. Thanks.
God! Those Smiths references are cracking me up!
Every time Orson Welles came on, I can only see him as Matt. They look so similar!
This is the best birthday present a guy could have! Thanks guys!
I could watch Matt and Craig all day - great banter!
A question for Matt: Has anyone ever told you how much you look like Orson Welles? I think the resemblance is uncanny. Especially in younger pictures of him.
Craig as a Mondrian is my new favorite thing.
All these Smiths references and a quick talk about Bukowski. One of the best episodes, guys, cheers.
Billy Bragg vinyl in the b/g? Nice!
Seen it? The Legend of Hell House. I freaking love it. Its got all the classic haunted house touches that I adore. Spider webs, candles, crazy statues.
The ultimate haunted house movie.
09:00 "My name's Stu. I got an American cousin, also named Stu." I don't know why that's hillarious but well-done, Matt! "Poor Little Docent" sung by the Smiths.. featuring.. DORIS DAY?! I'm IN!
Thanks for getting me into the Smiths!
Seen It: Sunset Strip (2000). It's an interesting film set in 1970's Hollywood. It follows several characters over a 24 hour period, and will probably have you say and/or think "Hey, it's that guy/gal!" more than once during the movie.
love the vid just watched from season 1, keep it up its a unique kind of video series and its awesome watching old movies i wouldn't see otherwise
its not exactly a anthology movie but
trick r treat is a short stories
jammed together type film that is really good
Re-watching again! Thanks for the suggestion Matt!
Mr Bowler Hat, was the lovely and talented Alan Badel. Best know for his work with the Royal Shakespeare Company. Primarily a stage actor he also was in films radio and TV. Mostly in the 60s and 70s. He did The Count of Monticristo and the Children of the Damned. He had smaller parts in films eg The Adventurers and quite a few others.
He was a soldier in WW2 he saw a lot of action. Was promoted twice, was in the D day landings and was also platoon seargent in the paratroopers . Dropped behind enemy lines in France. His father was French so he was fluent in the language. Finally he was bombed on a troop ship bound for Japan. This rendered him profoundly deaf for 3 months before he regained a small amount of hearing but was still several deaf and operated mostly by lip reading. After that he went to RADA (Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts. Won the gold medal and was accepted into the Royal Shakespeare Company. His career was limited by his disability as he could not cope with larger stages so most of his acclaimed stage career was with the Old Vic in London. A smaller venue but very famous. Known also for his extremely lovely speaking voice.
I have to thank MST3K for teaching me what a bad movie is.
Mr.Beast Rebel of the Hellscape I thank Michael Bay for teaching me what a bad movie is.
helter1234 I'M SORRY WHAT? I CAN'T HEAR YOU OVER ALL THE KABOOMS AND THE SHITTY DIRECTING!
As Cinema Sins would say : "Things!Explosion!Excitement!More explosions!"
Mr.Beast Rebel of the Hellscape I like how our texts get stone walled but our comment threads continue.
"A Colder Side of Limbo" was Procol Harem's less successful follow up to "A Whiter Shade of Pale"...
Heyho there Basement Dwellers.
Great episode as usual!
I was wondering have you seen the James Bond Film 'A View To A Kill' it's roger moores last bond film and has mixed reviews. It would make a great film for an episode of this show :) or if you've seen it i'd love to know what you thought of it.
thanks guys this show is awesome :)
Since you guys are such big Orson Welles fans, have you seen him in his final role, 1986's "Transformers: The Movie"? He is the voice of a giant robot planet which consumes other planets.
Also Optimus Prime dies for our sins, which is really nice of him.
Oh god the potato patch killed me.
That, like all of your shows was incredibly enjoyable and educational at the same time. I'm wondering if you've ever considered doing the British film, Dead of Night (1945) on your show. Another anthology film, it truly is a classic I think you both would enjoy. It also has a very intriguing wrap-around story which is scary, thought-provoking, and clever in the extreme.
"Talking to the taxman about poetry" by Billy Bragg. Awesome!
Ever seen the series of horror anthologies from Amicus? The production company was like the lesser known Hammer Films of the 60's and 70's. Asylum (1972) and Dr. Terror's House of Horrors (fantastic film title) are a couple of favourites. Lots of famous names pop up. Fun stuff.

Craig summed up my feelings exactly. This movie is like three episodes of The Twilight Zone or Alfred Hitchcock Presents edited into a single movie.
Four Rooms is a good anthology (portmanteau) film, seen it? Worth watching. The framing device of the bell boy and four rooms in one hotel was clever. Four directors for four rooms was an interesting choice too.
The last movie I thought was good that you guys told me was bad was An Irrational Fear of Everything. I felt you made valid points about him being very unattractive in his underwear, but I still thought his performance was great and the laundry obsessed serial killer was just weird enough to hold my attention. To each their own, I suppose.
Agh, I was hoping that the realization the guy had at the end of the dream story was that he was still in the dream and it was a string of false awakenings. "Whoops he died!' is such a lackluster ending.
Have you seen Strosek, directed by Werner Herzog? Probably my favourite film from one of my favourite directors.
Wahay! That was a surprise! Great show. I quite liked Schizopolis but it's very bad to show to people for the first time at 2am after a lot of drinking. I liked the editing and layers of "film-within-film" naratives. It's also filled with many very memorable lines (memorable just because they're stupid) - "Nose army"
What's the hair grease budget for WttB?
Hedgpig About a quarter of the glitter budget of Legend.
3:38 Matt made me giggle like a school girl xD
For some reason a lot of people hate the movie Tank Girl but I kinda loved it, if you guys have seen it, what did you guys think?
***** Loved it. Jeff Kober, Lori Petty, Malcolm McDowell plus half a dozen other great actors...how can you go wrong? Plus, the RPG was a lot of fun, too. Thanks, I'm gonna go watch it again!
Speaking of going into paintings, this is giving me a wicked acid flashback to the insane Canadian children's film The Peanut Butter Solution. Have you seen it? Until the invention of the internet, I was never sure whether I actually had or whether it was a warped memory of some childhood fever dream. Googling "child labor sweatshop magical paintbrush factory" finally helped me find the title and work through my trauma.
Could the dutch angles in the first short be that the painting itself is tilted while the glass is being repaired?
Time flies but with little change. In their childhood they have the monster manual. In millenial time there's the fictional/paranormal creature iceburg list.
Greetings from Sweden.
I really love the show guys.
It would be fun and interesting if you did a videspecial when you list up films that every movielover must see.
I think you guys should watch "The Quiet Man" (1952) starring John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara. My dad loves the film, and I've sadly only seen bits and pieces. However I know the story and think it would be awesome to hear what you guys think!
9:47
George Burns. Ha.
Yup, that succubus picture in monster manual 1.
I love these The Smiths references so much!!!
I remember seeing this movie some years ago and finding it enjoyable. Is it a bad film? No, it isn't a great film either. It's a film that explores interesting tidbits that clearly couldn't make it as an entire film. It's kind of interesting how in 1955 it was more feasible to show a movie like that where it would be almost impossible today. It's kind of a shame because I have to admit the painting one is arguably the most interesting even if it is the most supernatural.
a much better "going into a painting" story is featured in the Night Gallery pilot movie, written by Twilight Zone scribe Rod Sterling, and starring Richard Kiley as a Nazi fugitive who discovers that he can enter a painting in a South America museum. When a local recognizes him, he must make a desperate escape into the painting to evade the police but ends with a customary twist!
would love to see a show like this but with films on netflix
1:31 Jack Wagner leads to listening to the Smiths, no doubt about it.
Murdered?...
...oh no
... Not... Muurdereed
😂😂😂
Another episode watched. Another episode enjoyed. Well done guys!
I personally don't watch many movies, but have you seen the 1998 comedy-drama Pleasantville? Don't ask me about any stars, but I do know it has Don Knotts... sadly not doing a single double-take.
Matt- Love the show, never miss an episode. Don't mean to pry... but are you ok? At the end of the video noticed your neck line was pretty red. Just sun? Sorry if I brought up something you don't want to discuss. Look forward to seeing your's, Craig's and Tona's hard work in the next episode. :)
Loving the Smith's references
🤘😊🤘
have either of you seen/read Berserk?
Barfly one of my favorite movies
Only on my tenth or so viewing of this episode have I noticed the George Burns joke.
Maybe Matt should watch Barfly again.
I actually count five cases of murder, not four. The curator and the female patron in Act 1, the love interest and Edgar in Act 2, and Owen in Act 3.
PokerJoker811 Well we dont see the female patron die. So, tis not the murder we're invested in.
Have you guys seen Braindead or better known as Dead Alive? If not you guys should watch it for Halloween, one of Peter Jackson's first films.
Have you seen The Duke of Burgundy? It is the BDSM love story people should be obsessed with this year over 50 Shades of Grey.
18:33 Am I freaking out, or did they just insert a scene from Chad Vader in there?
Billy Bragg. Nice one.
I think, before watching the movies, you should give your opinion on whether you think you'll like `em and see how it matches up after.
Why are you both wearing all white and gold today?
The Dutch angles of BatMan were a great device; did this movie have Leitmotifs?
If they remake this, should Shannon or Buscemi play Edgar?
You set us up for a more in depth description of paintings and murder and didn't really pay off at the end there.
Was Craig listening to a lot of the Smiths when this was filmed?
Warning: 6 Smiths references in this episode
9:46 XD That got me.
This is like Twilight Zone, but with all murder stories. I kind of like it.
'Modern Problems' is the only movie I've not been able to finish watching. Just horrible.
What about the field-Jim Sheridan, great irish film
For some reason, I'm really in the mood for some Smiths now. 'cause I'm kinda easily influenced in that regard. Typical me. Typical me. Typical me.
We need more Stu.
Siskel and Ebert turned me on to some good films during the years that I watched them, but they also gave thumbs-down to "Reservoir Dogs," "Brazil," and "Splash." And Ebert notoriously said no to "Blue Velvet." As much as I enjoyed their conversations about movies, I think the thumbs-up/thumbs-down thing was a HUGE mistake even though it became so much a part of their branding. They should have shared their opinions and then left it up to viewers as to whether or not they wanted to see the films. If I let "Two thumbs down!" convince me not to see something, I would have missed out on films that eventually became favorites. And as a guilty pleasure (which Gene and Roger occasionally admitted they had themselves), that would have included "Two Moon Junction." What can I say, I'm only human!
The only movie I can think of that was truly bad was Meet the Feebles. It was crass and disgusting, and while I'm not opposed to that sort of thing, it felt very juvenile, like Peter Jackson was doing it just for the sake of being offensive. The worst part of it was that the movie was so incoherent, there were so many different stories and subplots going on and the movie just didn't flow well at all. Everything about that movie was painful.
Craig ,I saw what you did there ..there .. and there, and there, and there as well
That succubus picture makes me want to roll a 6 and a 9.
Pause it right at 24;24 for a good laugh
Have you seen Adam's Apple? A Danish film with your man Mads Mikkelsen. The blackest of comedies.
i was wondering if you guys have seen begotten; the art house movie that is a re-imagining of the story of genesis. and i was wondering what your opinions are on art house movies, do you think they have merit or are just pretentious movies that try to push boundaries and don't have much substance?
if you want an interesting movie about taxes, check out juzo itamis (of Tampopo fame) A Taxing Woman. its about a cunning tax collector who is trying to catch a tax evading mob boss. as they get to know each other, the start to respect each others wit.
They must have been having a Smiths party before filming this.
HAVE. YOU. GUYS. SEEN. DETACHMENT?!?!
Whatever happened to, "Orson Welles 'Tha Godfather of Hip-Hop?"
Hey Matt, I noticed you get splotchy towards the end of some shows. I'm assuming this is a reaction to having a couple of drinks while you film? I get the same reaction. May I suggest taking 180mg of fexofenadine hydrochloride (a common antihistamine) with your first drink? It works wonders for me and has seriously improved my social life. I saw a specialist and he said that there's no harm in doing this every time you have a drink.
Love the show, keep up the good work.
seen it idea: Strangers on a Train
Persona 4: Painting All Night
The Smiths-Episode.
4:23 Welcome to the Vladimir Putin Gallery of Artistic Atrocities
I'm just gonna stick my opinion right here. Mickey Rourke was a terrible Bukowski. He just couldn't pull off Bukowski's demeanor. That's probably why the movie did seem so goofy.
This episode is clearly sponsored by the smiths!
wouldnt it be 5 murders?
More like three cases of twilight zone
Foxclass Ahh Craig got that one, dang
