this IS the episode where Craig makes the face when Matt says "it might be bad" Thanks Matt! but now i need to know which episode his disappointed sigh comes from
Matt and Craig, I am guessing that you guys know that Paul Rudd infamously substitutes the Mac & Me runaway wheelchair scene every time he shows up to promote one of his new films.
Sorry, I also meant to mention that Jacob's Ladder was based on the awesome Twilight Zone episode "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge," which was actually a pre-existing Oscar-winning French short that TZ used for one of their episodes. The French short was in turn based on the 1891 Ambrose Bierce short story. It is a surreal vision experienced by a Confederate soldier (I don't want to give anything away if people haven't seen it). It is beautifully done and well worth watching.
@@samaraisnt that isn't even remotely what anyone said. it's as simple as hey, we can breathe life back into this lump of flesh, but we can't fix whatever's up with his spine, that's just WAY beyond us! man, think.
How about the movie "The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus"; not just for the genius of Terry Gilliam but with the memory and friendship of Heath Ledger that ultimately helped complete this movie.
8:00 So this is that shitty movie where that scene is from that Paul Rudd plays every time he's on Conan. I was in tears of horror watching you guys. :) Matt, in answer to your question: Wu-Tang Clan ain't Nuthin' ta Fuck Wit! Pro: The only thing that looked good was that opening space-scape scene. Does anyone know if that was a painting or CGI or what? The background looked cool.
This has awoken some deep down inside of me. I swear I've seen this movie before and my mind must've just stored it away in the hopes that it would never see the light of day again.
This movie horrified me as a child. Mac's puckered duck face and bulging eyes made me just want to smash in his floppy alien head with a brick. I'd rather watch the transformers trilogy in slow motion then subject myself to this film. Thanks for crawling into this dank cinematic anus so I never have to again.
I think I might have to give this Cinema Immersion Tank a test run with No Country for Old Men, my favorite movie. I want to understand it fully, especially after finishing the book. Although I have seen it three times already.
15:27-- here are the pros: 1. Casting a disabled actor in a lead role 2. The soundtrack. It's a pretty good 80s soundtrack. Especially the song during the McDonalds dance scene-- "Down to Earth" by Ashford & Simpson. So yeah. Two pros against a mountain of cons.
We have had this movie recorded on VHS for probably 25 years. I've NEVER EVER watched it, and now, I couldn't be more pleased that I never did. These days, I wouldn't make it beyond the first scene.
Mac and Me was so bad that even as 10 year old . I realized how awful it was. I think it gave me psychological damage me because I have never been able drink name brand Coke with out a intangible dark sinking feeling in the pit of my stumic .
For some reason I stopped watching this (WTTB). Now it's like finding a stuffed wallet in an old coat. I'm so glad this series continues and now I have a bunch to binge. Thanks for the laughs guys.
I loved this movie as a youngster. I remember renting it from Phar-mor, a Midwest pharmacy which hasn't existed for decades. I recently (in the last few years) found it on a bit torrent site and when I watched it I recognized the mom as the diva from Amadeus, an actually good movie I still love to this day. Such an unexpected gem, thanks guys.
I’ve seen Mac And Me about 7 times, because it was seemingly the only movie my school had in the staff room when it came to end of term. Each teacher would proudly work out how to use the VCR and play it too us as a “treat” and the end of term.
Have you guys ever seen Mirrormask? It came out in 2005, directed by Dave McKean and written (partially) by Neil Gaiman. A lot of people think it's a little hokey, but I've always found it to be really emotionally and visually interesting.
I love learning about great movies by watching this show don't get me wrong, there's just something special about when you guys do a B-movie. I just wanna sit on the couch and riff away.
Love me some "Bottle Rocket", it might be in my top ten. I saw it on IFC one night a billion aeon ago before I knew who Wes Anderson, Luke or Owen Wilson were and it changed my life. I had isolated myself from people for years upon years and this beautiful film made me want to reconnect with friends and go on road trips. It holds a very special place in my heart.
13:30 I'm sure the Dad should be saying "You recognize my voice, Hartigan? You recognize my voice, you piece-of-shit cop? I look different, but I bet you can recognize my voice."
I was the Hawker in a production of Inherit the Wind and still to this day I do not know why a hawker was even in a courtroom. It never made any sense to me. I didn't question it at the time for obvious reasons but now I can freely talk about how that character made absolutely no sense without putting myself out of a job.
Side note: Every time Paul Rudd is on Conan(beginning back when he was on NBC) he always brings a clip from his "latest movie" and every time Conan runs the clip it's the scene from Mac and Me where the wheelchair bound boy falls off the cliff. Paul Rudd is the best part about this movie.
I guess I've done the Cinema Immersion Tank experience--one summer I watched Rear Window every night for almost two months (tho I usually fell asleep by the policeman friend's second visit.
Mac and me is the most American thing i've ever seen. This is exactly what i imagined 1980s US to be like, sans aliens. Its like a time marker of where it all went wrong, any decline in the us began with this movie. love the show!
Great show as always guys. As a fan of good sci-fi, i hope you do at least 1 non-ironic, non-action, good sci-fi movie. There has to be one Matt hasn't seen.
I actually remember the McDonald's in my home town of Newmarket having a whole space under it where people would sometimes throw birthday parties. I also seem to recall seeing a Ronald McDonald there on a few occasions a party was happening. I'm not sure why I'm suddenly thinking of it... oh well, I think I'll go get a Big Mac and Coke.
If you haven't yet, you guys should check out 2013's The Iceman, starring our boy Michael Shannon. Biopic about Richard Kuklinski who goes around doing mob business and trying to keep his two lives, family and work, separate. It was awesome.
did you know that every time that paul rudd goes on to Conan O’Brien shows the cliff scene but the thing is conan thinks its another movie clip, its funny but the thing is paul rudd has done this for over 15 years! best joke ever.
Love you guys so much, the show really puts a smile on my face when I'm feeling down. I always look forward to each new episode~ and Craig my darling, let's watch River Phoenix movies together because he's also one of my favorites
Fantastic episode as always :) I think this was the second or third movie I saw at the cinema along with An American Tail and Tim Burton's Batman. I didn't remember much about the movie like I did about the other two, perhaps it was repressed all these years.
This episode was one of my favorites because of your commentary. I say you should have a month dedicated to Terrible Movies. You can give a verdict if it was just a bad movie that was in no way enjoyable, or a bad movie which was so terrible it was funny. And I am pretty sure I will get Mac and Me to enjoy making fun of with friends.
Please watch "Plan 9 from Outer Space" it is possibly the worst movie ever made and I really want to hear what you two have to say about it. You guys are great and i love your work so much, keep up the great work guys!
For some reason I enjoyed this disaster as a kid. Still one of my favorite terrible movies that's great to watch with friends and a few beers. It's like one long awful series of commercials mixed with a bad E.T.
I want to see a movie just about the aliens living before the probe arrives on their planet. God that would be so great. But it needs to be directed by Cronenberg
Wheelchair kid gets shot by the cops in an alternate version, that's why he's splayed out dead BEFORE the explosion. This scene was removed but rediscovered in the international cut recently Yes, there was a police shooting in this childrens film/mcdonalds commercial that got cut
how did i know it was going to be bottle rocket. i hope your perception of it does change. i think its a good movie and a nice entry point to wes anderson movies.
As you might already know, Paul Rudd is famous for jokingly using the clip of Erik falling down into the water as his clip from his latest movie anytime he's on Conan.
Alchemic images, hallucinatory editing, mystical symbolism, black mischief, and the mandatory promise of an English Pub : A Field In England - seen it?
I just finished watching all of the Welcome to the Basement episodes to come to the newest one and say, you should watch a movie by a Brazilian film company called Video Brinquedo (toyland video) called Ratatoing it may not be anything close to a good film but, please watch it on this show. Ps: it is 44 minutes (40 for the movie 4 for credits)
Really fun show! I'm surprised we didn't have Craig choose his own movie to watch alone at the same time for the Cinema Immersion Tank. I love Craig's realization of what he's done. It seems the movie was kind of so bad it's enjoyable. When I think about it, it seems you could watch M&M as an intentional parody of ET and you might really like it. I like the dance scene. That actually does happen in real life these days. Craig knows highways in CA, Matt don't be jelly. I love the `They Live`reference. That was brilliant. Aliens. Consumerism. "Rogue topiary." I like how Mac makes the livingroom into a desert and then just outside it's the same and more vast. ..."never walk again." Apparently, according to IMDB, Jennifer aniston was an extra. Next movie? Abyss? Son of Abyss?

More people should be aware of this show
MrRamone420 Agreed

I like how they can bring him back to life, but they couldn't get him out of the wheelchair...
old comment, but the actor was wheelchair bound in real life. Perhaps they altered the script. Also, there would be negative press if he did walk.
That would be treating not walking as equal to death. Consider the fact that people, such as the boy, can live full lives even without full mobility.
In reality, this is literally one of the worst films ever made. I just don't like it, its unwatchable and creepy.😆😅🤣
@@samaraisnt that isn't even remotely what anyone said. it's as simple as hey, we can breathe life back into this lump of flesh, but we can't fix whatever's up with his spine, that's just WAY beyond us! man, think.
Matt needs to randomly say 'WU-TANG!' more often because it constantly kills me laughing.
Fast fact: Jennifer Aniston’s first screen role was in the background of McDonald’s dance scene
"ya know what I feel like?"
"a big mac?"
"man thats a genius."
Flahoo ? 😂
How about the movie "The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus"; not just for the genius of Terry Gilliam but with the memory and friendship of Heath Ledger that ultimately helped complete this movie.
ChrisKewl And Tom Waits!!
Believe it or not this movie cost 2.5 million more than E.T. Which proves you can't buy talent!
WHAAAAAT? No way, that can't be true!
Wikipedia.
Adam's Universe THERE IS NO WAY.... THAT HAS TO BE TROLLING.... xD
8:00 So this is that shitty movie where that scene is from that Paul Rudd plays every time he's on Conan. I was in tears of horror watching you guys. :)

Sean Patrick it’s a terrible movie 🍿
You guys should watch Mr. Nobody. It's one freaky movie that doesn't make much sense starting off but by the end of it you understand it perfectly.
Mac's dad is thrusting his pelvis in the direction of the problem! Oooh yeah!
This movie horrified me as a child. Mac's puckered duck face and bulging eyes made me just want to smash in his floppy alien head with a brick.
I'd rather watch the transformers trilogy in slow motion then subject myself to this film. Thanks for crawling into this dank cinematic anus so I never have to again.
2:19- Craig's face is a study!
I think I might have to give this Cinema Immersion Tank a test run with No Country for Old Men, my favorite movie. I want to understand it fully, especially after finishing the book. Although I have seen it three times already.
15:27-- here are the pros:

Love the Les Baxter record in the background.
👌👌👌
i love this channel, idk how they don't get waaaay more views
You guys made my horrible day a little bit better :)
"You're stronger than this movie, Matt..."
"I don't know that I am!"
Your Shining parallels still make more sense than half of what's actually said in Room 237.
Have you seen Europa Report ??? Very good movie in the sci fi genre and it's not a big budget movie . Great show guys , greetings from Brazil !!!!!
We have had this movie recorded on VHS for probably 25 years. I've NEVER EVER watched it, and now, I couldn't be more pleased that I never did. These days, I wouldn't make it beyond the first scene.
You should also play CSI: Miami The Board Game for 5 days straight too since that includes a Challenge Tank.
Mac and Me was so bad that even as 10 year old . I realized how awful it was. I think it gave me psychological damage me because I have never been able drink name brand Coke with out a intangible dark sinking feeling in the pit of my stumic .
For some reason I stopped watching this (WTTB). Now it's like finding a stuffed wallet in an old coat. I'm so glad this series continues and now I have a bunch to binge. Thanks for the laughs guys.
I loved this movie as a youngster. I remember renting it from Phar-mor, a Midwest pharmacy which hasn't existed for decades. I recently (in the last few years) found it on a bit torrent site and when I watched it I recognized the mom as the diva from Amadeus, an actually good movie I still love to this day.

WU TANG
I love the tags for this: Mac And Me (Award-Winning Work) , E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial (Award-Winning Work)
Have you guys ever seen Mirrormask? It came out in 2005, directed by Dave McKean and written (partially) by Neil Gaiman. A lot of people think it's a little hokey, but I've always found it to be really emotionally and visually interesting.

now i finally understand what two best friends have been referencing so much lately
13:30 I'm sure the Dad should be saying "You recognize my voice, Hartigan? You recognize my voice, you piece-of-shit cop? I look different, but I bet you can recognize my voice."
That is so perfect I can't even...just props to you friend!
I was the Hawker in a production of Inherit the Wind and still to this day I do not know why a hawker was even in a courtroom. It never made any sense to me. I didn't question it at the time for obvious reasons but now I can freely talk about how that character made absolutely no sense without putting myself out of a job.
I really look forward to watching welcome to the basement. The only thing I would change is I would make them a weekly show. :)
Absolutely HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!!!! Died laughing through this entire episode!!!
I love this show; I just can't stop talking about this channel.
I was so impressed by Craig's knowledge of highways in California.
Side note: Every time Paul Rudd is on Conan(beginning back when he was on NBC) he always brings a clip from his "latest movie" and every time Conan runs the clip it's the scene from Mac and Me where the wheelchair bound boy falls off the cliff. Paul Rudd is the best part about this movie.
WU-TANG!!!
-matt 2014
I guess I've done the Cinema Immersion Tank experience--one summer I watched Rear Window every night for almost two months (tho I usually fell asleep by the policeman friend's second visit.
I decided to come see your latest episodes cause I was still in the second season. Holy crap Matt, You got thinner in the face O.O
Speaking of "They Live," I think I saw George 'Buck' Flower, who played the hobo collaborator, as the supermarket security guard in Mac & Me.
Mac and me is the most American thing i've ever seen. This is exactly what i imagined 1980s US to be like, sans aliens. Its like a time marker of where it all went wrong, any decline in the us began with this movie. love the show!
I have been watching you guys since the beginning really think you guys are the new Siskle and Ebert! Keep up the good work!
Great show as always guys. As a fan of good sci-fi, i hope you do at least 1 non-ironic, non-action, good sci-fi movie. There has to be one Matt hasn't seen.
haha this episode always makes me laugh thanks guys...
Good call on Bottle Rocket! I have '72 280 SE, too!
Oh my God! Space Escapades, what an album. The Smiths, Hendrix and Les Baxter. Damn, what perfect taste!
Or, Space Escapade, rather...
also, this might be your funniest episode yet. Great job guys!
I had seen the wheel chair down the cliff bit before. I wish it had remained the only part that I had seen.
I actually remember the McDonald's in my home town of Newmarket having a whole space under it where people would sometimes throw birthday parties. I also seem to recall seeing a Ronald McDonald there on a few occasions a party was happening.
I'm not sure why I'm suddenly thinking of it... oh well, I think I'll go get a Big Mac and Coke.

Laughed and laughed when I saw this episode. You guys should do more bad movies to review.
did you know that every time that paul rudd goes on to Conan O’Brien shows the cliff scene but the thing is conan thinks its another movie clip, its funny but the thing is paul rudd has done this for over 15 years! best joke ever.
Holy Smokes Matt is looking just damn handsome lately. #oldermancrush
Agreed!
I like him with pudge AND without. Can't go wrong with a cute face like that.
That chest hair though... button up your shirt, Matt!
;)
jk
stevnated Whats wrong with his chest hair!!!
\
Um, it exists? (No, I said I was just kidding!)
Love you guys so much, the show really puts a smile on my face when I'm feeling down. I always look forward to each new episode~ and Craig my darling, let's watch River Phoenix movies together because he's also one of my favorites
Have you guys ever seen Repo: The Genetic Opera? Cool concept, really good songs.
When I saw this movie as a kid it made me feel nauseated, and I don't feel too good right now, either.
Fantastic episode as always :) I think this was the second or third movie I saw at the cinema along with An American Tail and Tim Burton's Batman. I didn't remember much about the movie like I did about the other two, perhaps it was repressed all these years.
Anytime I come down this path TH-cam's algorithm brings me to this episode
Gr job guys! I'm always excited for every other friday just because of you!
Your reactions during The Scene are the best. I've seen it on Conan and on Obscurus Lupa Presents, and now you form the last part of the holy trinity.
This episode was one of my favorites because of your commentary. I say you should have a month dedicated to Terrible Movies. You can give a verdict if it was just a bad movie that was in no way enjoyable, or a bad movie which was so terrible it was funny. And I am pretty sure I will get Mac and Me to enjoy making fun of with friends.
Please watch "Plan 9 from Outer Space" it is possibly the worst movie ever made and I really want to hear what you two have to say about it. You guys are great and i love your work so much, keep up the great work guys!
The aliens (especially the dad) gave me the same creepy and uncomfortable feeling as the McPoyles from It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia.
For some reason I enjoyed this disaster as a kid. Still one of my favorite terrible movies that's great to watch with friends and a few beers. It's like one long awful series of commercials mixed with a bad E.T.
Oh man, i haven't seen this movie in forever, love the show, keep up the great work!
This episode made me so happy!
Dammit Craig, I was just about to make that 'doctor says he'll never walk again' joke...
You know what else is on Sub Pop? Clipping and Shabazz Palaces, both are awesome.
Matt I'm sorry to say this is not the worst sci-fi movie, Laserblast is.
There's something very General Zod-esque about Matt's appearance in this video.
Kneel before Sloan.
If any movie needs a reboot it's Mac and Me but it's gotta have EVERTHING and it's gotta be DARK.
Oh my god I laughed so hard at this one. Another hilarious review, gentlemen! Keep them coming!
I want to see a movie just about the aliens living before the probe arrives on their planet. God that would be so great. But it needs to be directed by Cronenberg
donofdeaths completely without dialogue or music
Wheelchair kid gets shot by the cops in an alternate version, that's why he's splayed out dead BEFORE the explosion. This scene was removed but rediscovered in the international cut recently
Yes, there was a police shooting in this childrens film/mcdonalds commercial that got cut

Sweet MST3K figurines!
Holy crap, where did you get the MST3K bots?!?!? MUST.HAVE!
Have you changed your setup? It looks really nice! The third angle camera isn't blurry any more and doesn't have the dead sensor pixel in the middle.
Good episode guys... loved it!
Where did you get the MST3K figures?! I must have them!!!
I just finished watching all of the Welcome to the Basement episodes to come to the newest one and say, you should watch a movie by a Brazilian film company called Video Brinquedo (toyland video) called Ratatoing it may not be anything close to a good film but, please watch it on this show.

"You used to look at a postcard while driving?" reminds me of the 2004 movie Collateral.
Collateral Cab Scene
Great work guys!
I loved the Gypsy, Tom Servo, and Crooooooow figurines.
Yay! Welcome to the basement!
Is it just me or has Matt lost some weight? If so Nice work buddy! If not, your still looking good so whatever you're doing is working. ;)
Thank you
Seen: Daft Punk's Electroma?
Saw it when I was much too young to understand it, and it made me very sad.
Looking good Matt!
Really fun show!
I'm surprised we didn't have Craig choose his own movie to watch alone at the same time for the Cinema Immersion Tank.
I love Craig's realization of what he's done.
It seems the movie was kind of so bad it's enjoyable. When I think about it, it seems you could watch M&M as an intentional parody of ET and you might really like it. I like the dance scene. That actually does happen in real life these days.
Craig knows highways in CA, Matt don't be jelly.
I love the `They Live`reference. That was brilliant. Aliens. Consumerism.
"Rogue topiary." I like how Mac makes the livingroom into a desert and then just outside it's the same and more vast.
..."never walk again."
Apparently, according to IMDB, Jennifer aniston was an extra.
Next movie? Abyss? Son of Abyss?
I never thought I'd ever hear the phrase, "rogue topiary."
