This is part 1 of a double feature in which Jay and Josh discuss the two Suspirias! In this part, they focus on the original Dario Argento classic from 1977. Look out! Witches!
Honestly this is the perfect platform for Josh. On BOTW he wants to recap those terrible movies beat by beat by beat, while the other three panelists generally don't care and will make jokes over the top of him, sometimes to his frustration. Here at least his attention to detail is worth the effort.
The funniest bit in all of BOTW is when Josh yells at Mike and Rich talking amongst themselves while he’s explaining a film and he says “Im trying to talk about Dr Butcher” and Rich plainly says “No one cares.”
Josh and Rich are my favorite re:view hosts. I always see comments complaining that they want more of Rich and Mike cracking jokes but I actually like the commentary these guys bring. Josh shines when he's in a focused, mostly-serious discussion, as seen with the episodes on Erasherhead, Fire Walk With Me, Martin, and Pink Flamingos. He always brings lots of good insights to the table even when everyone is ragging on him for not being hammy like Rich and Mike. I like crude jokes at the expense of elderly people and AIDs, but I also like articulate and impassioned film discussion.
Additionally, I think Josh has some underrated lines that are funny not by virtue of him deliberately trying to be jokey, but just how he passionately he phrases stuff. I still think of the time they discussed "Wired to Kill" and Josh has this genuine exasperation his voice when he says "Becky _just_ wanted a place to fucking sleep." There's also the last episode of BotW where Mike is about to pull another "Vampire Assassin" and Josh immediately guesses what he's about to do, which I got a good chuckle from.
I'll throw my hat into this ring and wish for a 'Lost Highway' re:View. I've got a feeling, though, that the next piece of Lynch's work they'd cover in an episode would be 'Blue Velvet'.
Part of what i love about the original is that there are moments in the film that you get the feeling the characters are being watched, but it's never confirmed if they are. Like when they're swimming in the pool and then it's an Arial shot with intense music while they're talking.
I watched this movie with a buddy of mine a year back. It was my first time watching it. He was really insistent that I would love it. Kind of what Jay says at the end hits home for me. Suspiria is one of the most visually entertaining things I have ever seen. I doubt Ill ever see a movie shot this well and be utterly captivating.
"Aside from Eraserhead, Suspiria is kind of only the real movie that really captures that feeling of a nightmare" Aw hell naw. Inland Empire, Un Chien Andalou, Jacob's Ladder, Coraline and many others would like to have a word with you
Agatha Christie's are considered giallo novels in Italy, if this can help you understand what "giallo" means: they usually include such things as murder and mystery.
It was clearly done to better complement their review of this particular movie. Doing the red and blue lighting every episode would be like having Christmas lights on all year round
contrapoints has great lighting for each episode. some of it is very dargento-esque. if you dont like left leaning politics, you can just watch it on mute.
Oh, wow! I'm going to see this at my local independent theater tonight! I can't wait to see it on the big screen and then watch this re:view. 🤩 Props to the Brattle Theatre in Cambridge for consistently screening awesome movies. 💖 And props to RLM for being inexplicably in tune with my movie watching habits all the time. 🤓 Keep this stuff coming, I love all of your perspectives!
just watching this for the first time, thank you for reviewing this one!! I love the original Suspiria so I was so excited to see this!! One of the most gorgeous horror movies ever.
Did anyone else get the chance to see GOBLIN tour theatres with Suspiria last year? The theatres showed the film Suspiria while GOBLIN played the soundtrack live. After the film they played their classics over a montage. It was great!
Theres a video game for the super famicom (japanese snes) called Clock Tower which is basically Suspiria combined with Phenomena. One of my favorite video games. One of the first survival horror games.
I think that in a movie with a story like this one, the less you explain it, the better. I mean the most of the fear comes from the unknown, beside the fact that this is the first one of a thrilogy, and the plot it is explained better in the other two movies, I like the ending because it leaves you with feeling that evil is defeated and that there will be no more deaths. I think the fire is metaphoric. No need to know why it all started, the important thing is that it’s over.
I've been waiting to hear Jay talk about Argento!!!!!! Although I personally feel like Inferno is a little more like a nightmare than Suspiria, if only because it loosens the narrative and amps up the dream logic by several notches. But yeah, this is the re:View I've been waiting for and it doesn't disappoint!
Finally! BTW, Suspiria isn't a giallo. Giallo is a mistery/crime/thriller. Basically a whodunit. There are no supernatural elements, and the people involved in the case can be detectives or not, that is not an important element. Every Poirot or Miss Marple case can be considered a giallo, as well as Nero Wolf and Sherlock Holmes. "Murder She Wrote" is "La Signora in Giallo" in italian (the lady in yellow). And Columbo, though the murderer is already known to the audience is a twist on a giallo, because it's about Columbo finding the proof that his suspect is the murderer.
I have the steelbook Blu-ray (very fortunate) and it was the first time I had seen it (knew about its reputation for sure). What's even more fortunate was that I didn't see a damn frame of it before watching it for myself and I'm glad that was the case.
The kinda ironic thing about this movie is that the story telling style that the movie uses, mkibg the movement and setting and visuals tell the story as well as this happens now because it does, is something that is very ballet in terms of how you kind of have to tell a story in that medium.
god, every time i watch this movie my eyes fall in love with the visuals all over again. it's so stellar. (except for the daytime exposition scene, i really can't stand that scene at all lmao)
I liked how the front of the building had a plaque on it that said Erasmus von Rotterdam. Desiderius Erasmus was Dutch and indeed from Rotterdam, but it takes place in Germany?
Yall didn't mention my second favorite scene in the movie with the blind man and the dog. Although the first 15 minutes of this movie is definitely best part!
Will be interesting to see if they liked the 2018 version. I kinda loved it, but I never saw the original one, so I had no preconceived notions on how it should be done.
Loved that movie when I saw it the first time in 2018 in Freiburg, Germany in the AKA student's filmclub with my friend Sebastian who got a liking for special movies (Dario Argento, Alejandro Jodorowsky, Nicolas Winding Refn) :D Freiburg is the place where the film takes place. I liked the details. For example Argento could not get the real "Haus zum Walfisch" (house to the whale) for the shooting in Freiburg, so he built one himself which looks completly different except for the colour ^^ Erasmus von Rotterdam (1466-1536), a very wise writer, editor and philosopher lived in a house in Freiburg because he fled from Basel; he was the one who edited the bible manuscript which Martin Luther used for his translation although Luther was a Ockhamist (William of Ockham (1288-1347)) and critized Rotterdam in "De servo arbitrio". Luther thought that men are bound to the will of god and have therefore no right to act against god (a very voluntaristic conception I know ;) ) Argento tends to be really philosophical in "Profondo Rosso".
Hey guys, can you talk about mother of tears? Seen Suspiria and Inferno and want to know if the third part is worth watching. Also I love phenomena! That's my 2nd favourite Argento movie after Suspiria.
I could tell that line was coming by the way she pronounced the esses in their names and her voice sounded really familiar. It's always fun to spot a sample in its natural habitat.
During the same period Turkish cinema (which had an interesting back and forth relation with Italian cinema) was the same in dubbing. IIRC the reason is set/studio issues and sound capture quality. Also if you fuck up a line or a car passes by you don't have to reshoot and just roll with it. Makes it cheaper.
Honestly this is the perfect platform for Josh.

I thought they kept calling it goblin music because it's spooky music goblins would like
That checks out.
Yes I didn't understand that at all. Why would goblins listen to or make such beautiful chime sounds.
That's cute
On a totally different music track I was admiring the chimes again and thought why would goblins like that. But then it hit me, maybe I'm a goblin...
As a real life Goblin myself, I love the Suspiria soundtrack
Josh and Rich are my favorite re:view hosts. I always see comments complaining that they want more of Rich and Mike cracking jokes but I actually like the commentary these guys bring.

I agree with you, he's great on Re:view but he doesn't gel with the others Botw. I miss Jack, I think he is a much better fit for BotW.
What happened to Jack? 🤔
@@imp2247 I don't know but he hasn't been on RLM for a few months now. I kinda miss his goofiness and drinking.
agree, but also....AIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDDDDDDDSSSSSSSSSSS
Additionally, I think Josh has some underrated lines that are funny not by virtue of him deliberately trying to be jokey, but just how he passionately he phrases stuff.

They didn't dub the whole episode 0/10.
inb4 jay is legit mad he didnt think of that
I remember the dubbed "Late Show With David Letterman" rerun. It was one of the nuttiest things I ever saw.
@@vertigoat7596 Unsubscribing again
@@alexsilva28 again lol
To be fair, much if not all of Jessica Harper and Joan Bennett's dialogue is recorded on set.
This should have been a review by Josh and Jay, but dubbed by Mike and Rich
I’ve always wondered if the blue lighting in the barbed wire pit is supposed to be darkness, which would explain why she didn’t see it.
It was the will of the Force that she fell into the barbed wire.
Chris Dasinger of course it is
Would love a re:view of Mulholland drive with Jay and Josh!
Inland Empire would be great, too.
I'll throw my hat into this ring and wish for a 'Lost Highway' re:View. I've got a feeling, though, that the next piece of Lynch's work they'd cover in an episode would be 'Blue Velvet'.
@@abdullaalsaleh This is the one. Inland Empire needs more love.
Part of what i love about the original is that there are moments in the film that you get the feeling the characters are being watched, but it's never confirmed if they are. Like when they're swimming in the pool and then it's an Arial shot with intense music while they're talking.
The lighting in your set is better than 90% of current movies
I wonder if one day they'll review Terry Gilliam's Brazil. Would love to see their take on it, let alone some exposure on such a bleak and funny film.
Goblin played a concert with King Diamond a couple years back in Texas. I really wish I could've gone.
I watched this movie with a buddy of mine a year back. It was my first time watching it. He was really insistent that I would love it. Kind of what Jay says at the end hits home for me. Suspiria is one of the most visually entertaining things I have ever seen. I doubt Ill ever see a movie shot this well and be utterly captivating.
Suspiria was actually an interesting villain. But they only used her in one episode. Oh wait, we're not doing Star Trek?
"Aside from Eraserhead, Suspiria is kind of only the real movie that really captures that feeling of a nightmare"
Aw hell naw. Inland Empire, Un Chien Andalou, Jacob's Ladder, Coraline and many others would like to have a word with you
Let’s a re:View of Hausu. Come on, boys.
Dude that is just What I was thinking!!
YES! House is so wonderfully bonkers
I love that Hausu, but it’s already been covered a million times. There’s not much to say about it that hasn’t already been said.
@@ThreadBomb Wild Zero is AWESOME. My best friend showed me it in highschool and I absolutely loved it.
How many Italian movies does Jay watch?
too many
It would depend on whether you consider porn to be legit movies or not.
four
Per day?
Not enough
Agatha Christie's are considered giallo novels in Italy, if this can help you understand what "giallo" means: they usually include such things as murder and mystery.
Yo can you actually just do this lighting for every episode? It absolutely bangs.
Such contrast, very serious tone.
It was clearly done to better complement their review of this particular movie. Doing the red and blue lighting every episode would be like having Christmas lights on all year round
contrapoints has great lighting for each episode. some of it is very dargento-esque. if you dont like left leaning politics, you can just watch it on mute.
@neorealiti
Be the freak you wanna see
Just don't follow me
I'm on a journey to the center of three
Where’s the “Jay’s vinyl collection” video?
Oh, wow!
I'm going to see this at my local independent theater tonight! I can't wait to see it on the big screen and then watch this re:view. 🤩

Keep this stuff coming, I love all of your perspectives!
just watching this for the first time, thank you for reviewing this one!! I love the original Suspiria so I was so excited to see this!! One of the most gorgeous horror movies ever.
Please never stop re:View guys... my entire day gets better when there’s a new one
This is one of my favorite movies. Great video guys!
comparing the end of suspiria to a wire song... this is relevant to my interests
good taste in movies AND music. these dudes are continually subverting my expectations
I love the way the set is lit, it's perfect!
Did anyone else get the chance to see GOBLIN tour theatres with Suspiria last year? The theatres showed the film Suspiria while GOBLIN played the soundtrack live. After the film they played their classics over a montage. It was great!
Gialli are my absolute favorite genre of movies.
Goblin was just in Pittsburgh...they put on an amazing show!!
This is one of my favorite films ever.
One of my favorite horror films.
These re:View's are always wonderful. Very complimentary to the BOTW's
I love that you guys say the things I think about movies ( the things my friends don't seem to grasp or care for ) superb stuff. Keep validating me.
Theres a video game for the super famicom (japanese snes) called Clock Tower which is basically Suspiria combined with Phenomena. One of my favorite video games. One of the first survival horror games.
I think that in a movie with a story like this one, the less you explain it, the better.

It's weird, but also great seeing RLM acknowledge Thom Yorke
He's no Goblin.
Tent Ringer He’s better.
Nah Goblins awesome, Radiohead blows.
Mister Tago Mago Lies.
He's famous dude everyone knows who Thom Yorke is, Radiohead fans are trash and I hate you
I've been waiting to hear Jay talk about Argento!!!!!! Although I personally feel like Inferno is a little more like a nightmare than Suspiria, if only because it loosens the narrative and amps up the dream logic by several notches. But yeah, this is the re:View I've been waiting for and it doesn't disappoint!
I am so happy they finally did this. After the remake came and went from theaters I thought it would not happen.
I never knew that about Italian films. Makes a lot more sense now.
Italian movies are one of the best!!! You should watch it.....
These are always fun. Would love to see you guys review Jacob’s ladder.
I've been waiting for this.
One of my favourite movies from when I was a kid!
The lighting on this episode feels intentional.
lol
Man that soundtrack sounds great.
re:View videos it's like spotting bigfoot riding a unicorn chasing a ufo.
Thank you for this, I REALLY this genre more in depth now
Finally!
BTW, Suspiria isn't a giallo. Giallo is a mistery/crime/thriller. Basically a whodunit.

And Columbo, though the murderer is already known to the audience is a twist on a giallo, because it's about Columbo finding the proof that his suspect is the murderer.
I love the giallo lighting for this. Very clever touch.
I see the giallo lighting being used in this review. Is re:View now italian thriller material?
your opinions and apreciatiations are terrific i never consider Suspiria a Disney movie possessed by a demon, and that is spot on
Josh and Jay re:Views are my favorite. They always review more niche type movies and their back and forth is quality.
Jay looks good in this lighting
I like the green light they add to the red between Josh and Jay, it breaks new ground.
I have the steelbook Blu-ray (very fortunate) and it was the first time I had seen it (knew about its reputation for sure). What's even more fortunate was that I didn't see a damn frame of it before watching it for myself and I'm glad that was the case.
One of my favorite films! The soundtrack and production design are incredible.
Sono curioso di sapere quanti fan italiani guardano RedLetterMedia. Nice to see some good italian movies getting attention!
This Re:View had an Argento ending
I think the German setting contributes to the fairytale-esque feeling. Like the Grimm tales.
Visually this film was always more engaging than the story itself articulated
The kinda ironic thing about this movie is that the story telling style that the movie uses, mkibg the movement and setting and visuals tell the story as well as this happens now because it does, is something that is very ballet in terms of how you kind of have to tell a story in that medium.
The lighting is on point for this episode 👌
god, every time i watch this movie my eyes fall in love with the visuals all over again. it's so stellar.
(except for the daytime exposition scene, i really can't stand that scene at all lmao)
As an Italian I feel so weird seeing how they talked about dubbed movies... We have to watch YOUR movies always dubbed xD
You guys should dub all of Rich Evans lines in Italian
Trivia ... Dario's daughter is Asia Argento who had some scandal but in my mind did some amazing episodes with Anthony Bourdain (RIP).
I liked how the front of the building had a plaque on it that said Erasmus von Rotterdam. Desiderius Erasmus was Dutch and indeed from Rotterdam, but it takes place in Germany?
I can't be friends with anyone who finds the music in "Suspiria" annoying.
Thought I heard Phantom by Justice in the background: turns out they sampled Tenebre, a giallo from 1982. Cool
Fucking finally, can't wait for part 2. My GOD!
As soon as I saw Josh and Jay I knew it would be a fucking weird movie snob episode 😂😂😂
Music volume slightly too high, makes listening to Jay difficult
well finally Josh and Jay review a moview I haven't seen. Eraserhead, The Gate, Pink Flamingos, True Stories, Martin I had all seen.
Yall didn't mention my second favorite scene in the movie with the blind man and the dog. Although the first 15 minutes of this movie is definitely best part!
Nothing has made me more genuinely uncomfortable than the elevator slide in cat o nine tails
I love this lightning :)
Favorite Horror film of all time
Just for the love these fuckers give to euro horror, I had to upvote. Mr. Bauman, you're a real film guy. Love and respect.
Suspiria is great, but my favorite Argento movie is Profondo Rosso. Can you please re:View that?
It's so weird, we just watched this film in class today...
Maybe your teacher donates to their patron , they talk about things they're gonna do ahead of time on there
Will be interesting to see if they liked the 2018 version. I kinda loved it, but I never saw the original one, so I had no preconceived notions on how it should be done.
You guys caught me off guard with the dougie Jones line towards Udo that’s great. David Lynch and Twin Peaks forever
Fellini did the dubbing thing with 8 1/2. Italians love to dub.
Tried to watch suspiria on acid, all I knew about it was its an old movie with lots of color. We turned it off as soon as she fell through the glass.
Could you re:View the horror movies of Lucio Fulci?
Oh! You guys finally learned hot to light your shots! :D
JK I love you guys!
Loved that movie when I saw it the first time in 2018 in Freiburg, Germany in the AKA student's filmclub with my friend Sebastian who got a liking for special movies (Dario Argento, Alejandro Jodorowsky, Nicolas Winding Refn) :D Freiburg is the place where the film takes place.

Re:View Last Action Hero! Pretty please!
Please do a re:View of Possession (1981)
And you know it's going to be Jay and Josh reviewing it, if they do.
Suspiria is one of my favorite movies that the guys from RLM talked about today!
Suspiria!
Can’t wait to hear about a movie I’ve never seen and have no intention of watching!
Hey guys, can you talk about mother of tears? Seen Suspiria and Inferno and want to know if the third part is worth watching. Also I love phenomena! That's my 2nd favourite Argento movie after Suspiria.
i hate that blue light, but the red from behind is fecking great
...saw it for the first time, at my local indie theater for Halloween 2017...all I really remember is the barbed wire...
The barbed wire sequence reminds me of The Pit.
I was so disappointed when they didn't cast Adrian Brody as Daniel, the Blind Pianist in the remake.
So that's where that sound clip from that Atmosphere song came from
I could tell that line was coming by the way she pronounced the esses in their names and her voice sounded really familiar. It's always fun to spot a sample in its natural habitat.
For those who doesn't know, this movie is on netflix. You have most likely scrolled past countless other comments pointing this out.
I hope one day you guys could do a retrospective on the works of Pietro Francisci. Why no mention of Joan Bennet?
I just watched this movie and i got really scared and im not even sure why
I like the new one more than the original, and I saw the original for the first time a few weeks before the new one.
I’ve also seen Inferno and Deep Red and liked those more than the original Suspiria.
During the same period Turkish cinema (which had an interesting back and forth relation with Italian cinema) was the same in dubbing. IIRC the reason is set/studio issues and sound capture quality. Also if you fuck up a line or a car passes by you don't have to reshoot and just roll with it. Makes it cheaper.
