I have a really good idea. At the end of every Welcome to the Basement episode for 2019, Matt and Craig should figure out exactly how a Nick Fury after-credits scene would play out for the movie they just watched.All you need is Matt to want to and it will probably happen. Dot it Matt, you know you want to
I think we, as Basement Dwellers, ought to appreciate that Craig had an entire separate intro spiel ready if Matt had picked Mamma Mia. That's the kind of dedication that makes for a quality program, and for a meaningful birthday gift.
I don't remember all of what I was going to say, but I do remember that I was going to mention that Mamma Mia was, like My Big Fat Greek Wedding before it, was co-produced by Tom Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson. The two movies combined made a billion dollars worldwide. Not that box office is the most important thing, but: a billion dollars.
Now you need to watch the 1954 remake starring Judy Garland and James Mason-it’s absolutely heartbreaking and I think one of Garland’s best performances.
Being introduced to this version was a delight. I watched it myself a few months ago and it is one of my favorite movies. This show has become a vessel for learning about movies, the ones I have seen and the many I am introduced to for the first time
That opening idea is the most amazing thing I've heard. I would watch every movie from now on if that happened. Also happy upcoming/perhaps already passed birthday Matt!
I've been watching WTTB since the first episode and I swear you guys get better every year. This episode was hilarious! Excellent quips and perfect editing :) Keep it up!!
Seen It: Loving Vincent! Such a beautiful movie, the first film to be hand-painted. Scenes and characters are lifted straight from Van Gogh's work, and the story is heart breaking. Watch it!
My dad is convinced now that every movie will have a post-credits scene, regardless of what the movie is. He will wait until the end of the credits or every movie. It's infuriating!
Oh my god, hearing my name during Scene It gave me a minor heart attack. Glad to hear that their opinions on The Meyerowitz Stories were as split as my own. I can see it from both of their perspectives.
Janet Gaynor's aunt in this movie played Aunt Em in The Wizard of Oz two years later. Nice little connection between this version and the Judy Garland version.
Seen it?: a silly Disney Pixar picture that honestly makes me cry every time: Coco. I’m not an easy cry but there are a few moments at the end of this film that bring up the feels every time
As a Fredric March fan, I have been waiting and waiting for this day. Sure, I'd rather it be "Jekyll and Hyde" from a few years before this, but I'm still happy.
it's so weird having you guys not recap the Oscars without seeing them. it's a welcome to the basement tradition i always look forward to. but i guess you'd have to record this episode right after "Bring me the head..." and that's probably too much work. oh well, like Leonardo DiCaprio used to say "there's always next Oscars"
The story of "A Star Is Born" is such a strange well for filmmakers to keep coming back to---I guess it's conveniently tragic and it plays into the mythology of Hollywood.
Thoughts on Jesus Christ Superstar Live? I loved it more than I thought I would! Some great casting and interesting staging choices (the ending was especially beautiful)!
Great episode as always! You got me at the start with the Nick Fury idea, haha. I want this to be a thing. As for the last comment... As someone who was into K-Pop, just... no. I mean, it's nice poppy music, and it's super catchy and I like it-- but the 'stories' the music videos tell are mostly vacuous, cookie cutter and manufactured. There's no depth or feeling to most of it-- Kpop is kinda like a machine run by rich dudes in suits, and the stars themselves rarely get input, money or real recognition from their companies. I feel like what happened to Shinee's Jong Hyun is an example of the dark side of Kpop. Companies manufacture most of the bands, then use a basic formula to just churn out song after song and play on the feelings of teens. There are exceptions to this, but most of the boy bands aren't it. There's nothing really special about EXO's "Universe" MV, for example, or BTS's "DNA" either, they are pretty standard cringey boy band videos. Also, idk but Matt doesn't strike me as the type who would get wowed by Kpop boy bands in any capacity. That said, there are some great catchy pop songs in Kpop, and if you want some bubblegum pop, it's a good place to get it.
A thought came to me as you two were discussing the work of Noah Baumbach during this episode -- and that's the concept of being unable to enjoy a movie on its own merits... but instead of what you wish a film WAS, or had the potential to BE. A great example of this was "There Will Be Blood," which I immensely disliked not for what it was, but for its downright refusal to be something more approachable. Ultimately, I realized I was judging the film for not living up to my own expectations. Once I realized that it would not conform to what I wanted, I was able to instead enjoy it for what it actually is. Do you guys ever have situations like this, where you feel as if you need to take a step back and reassess a film because you suspect you judged it for not being the film you wanted it to be?
I just... wanted to take a moment to leave a public service announcement about the 2018 Star Is Born "remake". So I was originally introduced to a star is born because of this show. So I watched the original and then I waited for the new one. I have to say... I've seen a lot of movies in my time. I don't care about the genre or what it may be about. I grew up watching movies with my father and we would just go and see anything. Then when redbox became a thing we'd rent whatever from it. So it certainly wasn't that I didn't care for the genre or the idea of "musical" movies. I especially love music themed movies and so was excited to see what they did with the movie this time around. You know... it being the second remake of this movie after the original and the 70's version with Barbara Streisand. Movies about music and small time people making it inspires me. This...is not that. This... Is the first movie I've ever walked out of and I've seen a loooot of average and shitty movies. The beginning not so bad you know the music's pretty good till gaga makes it. Didn't even know her name till it was plastered on the billboards. At some point it set in that this movie kept telling gaga or Ally to not lose her voice. You know what's ironic about that? This movie didn't have one. I had no idea what it was trying to get through. Several parts where just cringy or annoying I felt like I was the drunk one watching some weird Spanish soap opera only one where I care less about the characters. You don't care about these people less than an hour through. It feels forced and the script is half ass strung together. Characters are put in out of nowhere like they were supposed to be a bigger part of the movie and were cut. I didn't care. Sitting through this nearly 3 hour movie was like having a dementor spit down my throat and suck out my soul (or what's left of it). This is the most painfully average movie I've seen in a long time. They had something that could've been interesting and deep with decent imagery no. It had all these scene's, but didn't know what to do with it. I'd rather watch the new predator again. That was bad, yes, but at least it was stupid and a little funny because it was so horrid. There were several points in the movie where there is talk of suicide and some imagery, most definitely hinting to the end I was to damn bored to sit and wait through, and most definitely hinting at the original and vice versa as seemed to be done a few times. To be quiet frank I can relate this movie more to low budget Horror movie. One where I am rooting for the killer and not the group of people trying to survive. About an hour in I was waiting for the lead to kill himself already and end my pain. Don't waste your money on this. Don't even torrent it. Save the space on your computer. If you want to watch this movie you'd be better off just listening to the soundtrack and putting two and two together. At least that is pretty good for what it is well, save for some of the last songs. I regret spending the 8 bucks I used to see this movie. The only good part about this movie were the Queens.
Seen it? The Wailing. It's a Korean horror on Netflix and I think it's about an hour too long. It could've ended just after the middle mark and been just fine. Your thoughts?
Janet Gaynor is phenomenal in A Star Is Born & Sunrise. I like the original more than the remake with Judy Garland. I wonder if Valley of the Dolls was influenced by A Star Is Born.
It was my turn to have a strange dream about you guys. You created a new youtube show with twin brothers named Brian and Marc, who looked suspiciously like Casem from Beer and Board games. It was a cooking show called "Cooking With Matt, Craig, Brian, and the Other Guy", the joke being that for some reason you all refused to address Marc by his name and barely acknowledged his existence, even though he did most of the cooking. For your first episode you made sirloin burgers with special toppings- and I do mean special, for example, one was topped with white truffles (which cost several thousand dollars per pound in real life). Unfortunately, this show premiere brought the wrath of the internet down on your heads, because at the end of the episode you cut one of the burgers open to better reveal its doneness to the camera, and showed that these burgers that had been made with ridiculously expensive ingredients had been so overcooked they looked like grey, flavourless briquettes.
24:23: Mitchel : when you say 'their stories', do you mean their experiences in the K pop assembly line? Every documentary about the K pop industry was an eye opener. Abuse by the suits and the power they have over the artist. If so, I would be very interested in their videos.
My only gripe is that they couldn't get George Lucas to let them use the threepio and artoo and vader footprints back then, that would have helped sell the movie in my opinion.
Jesus fuck, i thought matt's co-host was Mark Ruffalo... Ive only watched beer and board games, never watched this podcast-esq welcome to the basement, and they were talking about nick fury... you can see why I thought he was, and it doesn't help that he looks somewhat like him :/
Just finished watching this one; I've now seen Lionel Stander in three movies. This one, The Scoundrel and Mr. Deeds goes to Town, and he always plays the same character. No, really. Always.
Oh my god I never expected to hear the words "BTS" come out of Matt's lips. My worlds are colliding. If you guys actually watch a BTS music video I would have to leave a patreon donation as thanks. And if you did, you should definitely check out "Blood Sweat & Tears" and "Spring Day," two of their most cinematic ventures. Their MV director Lumpens is skilled at meshing symbolism and striking visuals to bring the meaning of the lyrics to life.
Before the Avengers film, my parents always had us stay til the end of the credits anyway (still not entirely sure why). Since then, Ive always been a little embarrassed cuz I feel like everyone just thinks we're marvel dipshits thinking thats how all movies work or something. I enjoy the marvel films a lot, but you know who I mean when I say that.
The Silver Arrow now now chill dude saying they will haunt every part of the internet and calling them cancer are two very different things. They are just teenage girls with their panties in a twist they might be a bit stupid but that's just hateful dude, at least don't say things dem fangirls would say
I actually kinda liked Greenburg (Gerwig and Baumback), but though LadyBird was just ok (overrated). Nothing special, but a decent movie. Wouldn't watch it again.

6:45 That moment with the plate drop made me laugh so hard the first time I watched that I had to rewind, because I missed what happened next.
Craig was on fire this episode. So funny.
Craig's smoothest movie intro ever.
Being introduced to this version was a delight. I watched it myself a few months ago and it is one of my favorite movies. This show has become a vessel for learning about movies, the ones I have seen and the many I am introduced to for the first time
Had a long day at work and don’t have time or energy to sit through a whole film, so I appreciate WTTB very much. Thanks gents!
That opening idea is the most amazing thing I've heard. I would watch every movie from now on if that happened. Also happy upcoming/perhaps already passed birthday Matt!
clicked because of the Big Star vinyl in the thumbnail. was not disappointed. as always, a great watch.
Favorite series on TH-cam. Always cracks me up, keep it up fellas!
I've been watching WTTB since the first episode and I swear you guys get better every year. This episode was hilarious! Excellent quips and perfect editing :) Keep it up!!
Seen It: Loving Vincent! Such a beautiful movie, the first film to be hand-painted. Scenes and characters are lifted straight from Van Gogh's work, and the story is heart breaking. Watch it!
I just watched Call Me By Your Name, so I appreciated Matt's reference.
My dad is convinced now that every movie will have a post-credits scene, regardless of what the movie is. He will wait until the end of the credits or every movie. It's infuriating!
I just like reading credits lol
nah, most old people just like the credits for some reason.
Nick inFuriating
there's a site that tell you if there's post credit scenes.
Holy frick! The Lobster. Ooofff. Made it through, but it was just enough past my dark/awful tolerance that it took awhile to recover.
Aunt Maddy sounds like my next door neighbour through the paper thin walls ---barking at the kids at 5:30am :(
Oh my god, hearing my name during Scene It gave me a minor heart attack. Glad to hear that their opinions on The Meyerowitz Stories were as split as my own. I can see it from both of their perspectives.
"She's about to become..."
Me: "...an album?"
If you want that gesture to come back, you just gotta start using it. From now on, whenever I roll a nat 20, I will.
Janet Gaynor's aunt in this movie played Aunt Em in The Wizard of Oz two years later. Nice little connection between this version and the Judy Garland version.
Yee please talk about more obscure films love you guys
Love the Big Star LP
Loved the episode, best one in a little while! Keep up the good work
They talked about A24 films! I have(had)been watching them this year. They have renewed my interest in them, time to restart watching!
So good to see that bat return. Great vid, guys
Seen it?: a silly Disney Pixar picture that honestly makes me cry every time: Coco. I’m not an easy cry but there are a few moments at the end of this film that bring up the feels every time
As a Fredric March fan, I have been waiting and waiting for this day. Sure, I'd rather it be "Jekyll and Hyde" from a few years before this, but I'm still happy.
Poirot, we need you... Someone murdered half the Avengers and me!
You ever think that David Johansen's entire career is just an impression of Libby?
Another really funny episode :)
3.5/5* This is a good movie to be honest, i wanna watch it again.
it's so weird having you guys not recap the Oscars without seeing them. it's a welcome to the basement tradition i always look forward to. but i guess you'd have to record this episode right after "Bring me the head..." and that's probably too much work. oh well, like Leonardo DiCaprio used to say "there's always next Oscars"
No, here is the thing. In Romeo and Juliet, Nick Fury can be the prince that comes in at the end and tells the parents they screwed up.
Have you seen Deathtrap? A thrilling movie based on a play with Michael Caine and Christopher Reeves! So many twists and turns it’s a real blast!
Now that Craig brings Twin Peaks up, I was wondering... Have you seen season 3? It's basicaly an 18 hour movie, it could feature on Seen It.
Can confirm, it's arguably more surreal than the original run of Twin Peaks. Also, the soundtrack to the new series is fantastic.
I'm a simple dude, I see Big Star in thumbnail I give a like.
The story of "A Star Is Born" is such a strange well for filmmakers to keep coming back to---I guess it's conveniently tragic and it plays into the mythology of Hollywood.
Matt & Craig, please could you review the new restoration of "Blood Simple"? It's the 1984 debut film from the Coen brothers. Thanks.
Thoughts on Jesus Christ Superstar Live? I loved it more than I thought I would! Some great casting and interesting staging choices (the ending was especially beautiful)!
4:19 “No Cowboys” was 1930s code word for No Gays.
Tyler Hill I didn't know that. Thanks for the factoid!
I kind of suspected that.
I was just making a joke. Is that really what it means?
Because all cowboys are gay. You ever seen Brokeback Mountain?
I think they meant male prostitutes. That’s one of the terms in The urban dictionary.
Can it be the original Nick Fury, David Hassleoff? Maybe sometimes, at random, when Sam isn't available?
Great episode as always! You got me at the start with the Nick Fury idea, haha. I want this to be a thing.

That's a weird dream.
I was waiting for Nick Fury there after credits, come on boys
24:23: Mitchel : when you say 'their stories', do you mean their experiences in the K pop assembly line? Every documentary about the K pop industry was an eye opener. Abuse by the suits and the power they have over the artist. If so, I would be very interested in their videos.
OMG. I've missed Ray Milland and BATZ so so so so much!
Have you guys seen "Your Name"(Kimi no Na Wa)? It left me screaming at the writers and director (in a very good way).
Cafe trocadero,, is truckers Cafe 🚛 lol 🐊🐊
“Which version?”
It was also remade in Bollywood in 2013 as Aashiqui 2.
Matt, you've probably been told this before, but you look like a young Loui Anderson.
College Humor did a bit on Nick Fury showing up in other movies: th-cam.com/video/X7vIP_SYezE/w-d-xo.html
Did Craig just say "Old" leather couch? Is that a first?
Triple thumbs up.
Hello guys!
13:06 I think they called it, "taking the cure," back then.
Back then they sent you to a "sanitarium", the predecessor to rehab facilities, to "dry out" - in other words get sober.
Libby sounds like Hy Pyke from Blade Runner and Hack--O-Lantern.
Why were all of Craig's jokes so blue this episode? I'm not opposed to it, it just seemed more raunchy than usual. Great episode as usual!
I noticed that, too, when Matt showed me the rough edit. Don't know what got into me that day. That being said: butts.
My only gripe is that they couldn't get George Lucas to let them use the threepio and artoo and vader footprints back then, that would have helped sell the movie in my opinion.
2:55 I thought that was Craig's voice.
Does anybody know what the "No Cowboys" actually means?
Guys! Seen it?! Blade Runner 2049?! Best movie of last year as far as I'm concerned! What did you think?
New York Losergentsia. Im getting that put on a jacket.
Jesus fuck, i thought matt's co-host was Mark Ruffalo... Ive only watched beer and board games, never watched this podcast-esq welcome to the basement, and they were talking about nick fury... you can see why I thought he was, and it doesn't help that he looks somewhat like him :/
I am Mark Ruffalo. The role of Craig Johnson is my greatest performance.
Please do a segment where you analyze at least one of these Asian boy bands' videos in the future
She opens the box and it's Gwyneth Paltrow's head.
but it was a completely normal sandwitch, it was almost small
Maybe it was big for its day? Legends say that USA didn't always use to be quite so... overweight.
did you notice that matt's tend to be born in march
I was born in November.
No Oscar Recaps?
Just finished watching this one; I've now seen Lionel Stander in three movies. This one, The Scoundrel and Mr. Deeds goes to Town, and he always plays the same character. No, really. Always.
Nick Fury: “Call me by your name, motherfucker”
Oh my god I never expected to hear the words "BTS" come out of Matt's lips. My worlds are colliding. If you guys actually watch a BTS music video I would have to leave a patreon donation as thanks. And if you did, you should definitely check out "Blood Sweat & Tears" and "Spring Day," two of their most cinematic ventures. Their MV director Lumpens is skilled at meshing symbolism and striking visuals to bring the meaning of the lyrics to life.
Have you guys seen cude 2
Do you mean Cube 2?
My bad I have poor eye site. But yes. Its a vary good film.
Thats Okat. We ill make mistakes.
Before the Avengers film, my parents always had us stay til the end of the credits anyway (still not entirely sure why). Since then, Ive always been a little embarrassed cuz I feel like everyone just thinks we're marvel dipshits thinking thats how all movies work or something.

Oooooh the lice
Extra-Victorian bludgeon?
I still miss Chad Vader
1:59 wtf that pronounce Lady Ga ga
0:25 That would be AWESOME!!!
24:50 some of the kpop videos are pretty good...
I don't think you chaps have ever watched a Korean film. How about you try 'A Hard Day' ?
Jesus hell, never, NEVER did I expect EXO or BTS to be mentioned on this show in any regard.
No oscar predictions....
See our previous two episodes
Watch EXO please!
Oh and btw, first.
I can't believe BTS fans haunt me even on Blame Society. Is there ANY part of the internet they can't reach?????
Kleopatra BTS fans are like a fucking cancer. Figuratively and literally.
You've never met a Star Trek fan, have you? They're fuckin everywhere and they think they know everything.
Arizona Trekkies at least have the benefit of being older in my experience. BTS fans are young, dumb, and extremely vocal, a potent combo.
The Silver Arrow now now chill dude saying they will haunt every part of the internet and calling them cancer are two very different things. They are just teenage girls with their panties in a twist they might be a bit stupid but that's just hateful dude, at least don't say things dem fangirls would say
Idk about kpop movies but the music is really awful and soulless to me
'like water main' lol. did he have a problem with electricity too. that was a stupid thing to say, matt. love your stuff, but no, not like water main.
I actually kinda liked Greenburg (Gerwig and Baumback), but though LadyBird was just ok (overrated). Nothing special, but a decent movie. Wouldn't watch it again.
Also agreed - Greta Gerwig is already better than her boi.
