“THE PLOOOOT!!!! IT’S HAPPENINGGGG!!!” Commenting in 2020, 2 years later Craig yelling that is still hilarious 😂
The new meme of 2018. "THE PLOT! IT"S HAPPENING!"
This might be my single favorite episode of Welcome To The Basement. Their reaction to this film was so negatively charged that it puts them in primal form that never slows down.
Eating a DAMN sandwich!
The best thing to come out of The Weekend was an Area-51 reference. My sister and I used to play the heck out of that game!
Craig's comment about there not being the conversation between artists from their different studios in whatever form of art is so right on!!
"I owe you an apology"
hahahaha
Matt eating bread at the end - "Le Brilliant!"
Best way to fix Weekend is when they arrive to find the father dead, they put sunglasses on him and dance him around pretending he is still alive. Rename the father, "Bernie."
Delores Taylor, the actress who played the blond youth leader in Billy Jack, died March 23, 2018 :(
"No one saw THAT coming..." Best quote about Nick Cage ever! Nice one Craig.
After so many years, and so many films across the full spectrum of quality, this is the one that genuinely breaks them.
...Sounds about right for Goddard, honestly.
Wow Craig hates this guy. I love it. Hated the movie though.
The one quote of his that pulls back the curtain on Jeff Goldblum: "You are only interesting when you are interested"
I love Godard and I love this movie, but this episode is hilarious. Best Welcome To The Basement yet.
I'm starting to doubt I ever saw this movie. Somehow I forgot every single part but the Emily Bronte bit.
I'd love to see a film adaption of the arcade classic Area 51. It might break the curse.
My favorite thing about Fridays! (Applies to both WTTB and Unboxing!)
So wait did they ever do an episode on “The Lost Weekend”? They reference it and Ray Milland so much I think I assumed they watched it! lol
This is one of your best. Keep it up!
That ending is too funny lol
I have seen hell, and it is an endless traffic jam.
24:15 Closing scene had me dying!!! Hahaha love it
10:35 never ceases to crack me up hahaha
Holy shit. This movie looks terribly insufferable. You guys are the real heroes.
10:42 I used to share a flat with a guy who said the scene where the black and Arab guys talk to the cameras about politics is "really moving". He was an ass.
He was trying to seem deep and intelligent .
@@smallmanbigmouth2699 I have a feeling critics at the time were afraid they were missing something and to avoid being perceived as not "getting it," they better hail the film as a masterpiece.
Have you seen the 1999 Japanese film Audition? That movie has stuck in my mind for the longest time
Haha omg the endinggggg
I spent many a quarter on Area 51 myself, Craig.
God, that thing just DEVOURED allowances.
The way you ended this episode is priceless.
That last skit was beautiful.
I hope it's "A Boy & His Dog"... and if not, seen it??
I thought the exact same thing about the bread scene 😂
Matt your french pronounciation is not too shabby at all :)
i didnt knew that Weekend was a prequel to the book (and the movie) Crash, with all those car accidents.
If WTTB makes a renegade cut + riff tracks of this movie, i would love to have it.
I love that these almost always come on to close out my week at work.
You guys mentioning The Grey Fox made me remember Robot and Frank from 2012. If you haven't seen it, please do. It's quite enjoyable.
Whoah, I’ve just been watching through lots of Godard (and hating it, honestly) and was wanting you guys to watch some!
Excellent
Glad we could help. Good luck with your travels in Godardville.
love the vids
Is that Plastic Bertrand? Matt is the king of the divan!
His cat drank all the whiskey!
When did Cecil start drinking?!
He just turned 3, which is 21 in human years.
Translated From the song "ca plane pour moi:" Yam! Bam!
My cat Splash lies on my bed
Having swallowed her tongue
From drinking all my whisky
Surprised Willem DaFoe didn't get a weird mention.
He's like Buscemi. He seemed weird from the start, yet never drifted into self-parody.
Right on, thanks for the reply, Craig! Wasn't a big fan of WttB when I first started watching the Blame Society channel, but I've grown to love and appreciate the insight you and Matt bring to films. Has definitely changed how I watch and think about movies for the better! Keep up the great work!
Great episode! How does it compare to, say the Holy Mountain?
This is not slam poetry that one of the cannibals is doing. He is citing Lautréamont who wrote "Les Chants de Maldoror", a work that belongs to the canon of French literature. Lautréamont is one of the poètes maudit of French literature, together with Charles Baudelaire, Paul Verlaine and Arthur Rimbaud. "Les Chants de Maldoror" (English title "The Songs of Maldoror") is a book everyone should read; you will never forget the experience.
I totally agree about the transfer on "The Grey Fox." It's a pity the movie's been so neglected.
As someone who has seen this, and now Matt and Craig have seen it, I can say, unreservedly...you really do get everything you need from Matt and Craig, don't bother with this movie. I'd take a lot more punches than 4
I wouldn't say that film is worth watching, but having seen it, this episode gained a new level for me. So it was kind of worth it - I could share your pain. ;) Also, it's one of the best episodes in a long time, thanks to the choice of the movie. The sandwich homage was the best!
Hi guys, greetings from Ireland :) Just started watching the show, really love it :) For seen It, Have you guys seen the wrestling documentary, Beyond the Mat? A flawed film but a rare and moving look at the hidden and misunderstood world of pro wrestling. Or the 2004 German movie Downfall? A controversial and insightful movie about the last ten days of Adolf Hitler's life. Bruno Ganz gives the best acting performance I've ever seen
The zombie game sounds like "House of the Dead." After Craig pointed that out, I could definitely see it.
Speaking of French films, I wonder if Matt and Craig have ever seen "Jean de Florette" or its sequel "Manon of the Spring". My high school French class watched them both and I remember the whole class raucously laughing at what were ostensibly touching dramas.
You guys are way better than any of the crap on TV these days.
Great episode Matt and Craig! I was wondering if you both had a favorite martial arts film actor? My brothers and i grew up on a steady diet of Jackie Chan, both his Chinese and American movies.
I've heard that the girl's story at the beginning of the film is supposed to be a parody of Bergman's Persona and the threesome story.
That kinda makes sense.
Weird with a Beard was my nickname in college.
20:29 Where did those glasses come from. I did a spit-take, haha
Malkovich definitely has chops.
Thank you for muting that. It was piercing my ear drums.
Love Matt's French!
Agnes Varda and Franju didn't belong to the new wave. One belonged to the left bank experimental Movement and the other to 'Cinema du papa'
12:52 you look like you just let out a magnificent fart you've been holding in for an hour and 40.
just kiddin
Have you guys seen every single film by Italian Mistro Federico Fellini. If you haven't maybe you could watch one of them on Welcome to the Basement.
Speaking of Pacino, I thought he did great in the title role of the HBO movie Paterno.
I want to have experienced a Jean-Luc Godard film but at the same time I don't have any desire to actually watch any of his films.
Breathless
I've seen clips from Breathless and the filmmaking in it just seem obnoxious to me.
Jean-Luc Godard, François Truffaut, & Agnès Varda are technically talented and thoughtful at times, but they make quite dull art films. I'll stick with auteurs like Ingmar Bergman, Werner Herzog, & Pedro Almodóvar.
+Ocean Sage 400 Blows by Truffeaut is pretty good, tho.
Honestly, I watched 400 Blows earlier this year and I only remember bits and pieces from it. It did not leave a big impression on me.
I have never heard it described it as two people "having" chess.
Yeah he meant to say "making chess"
Making sweet, sweet chess.
Realized that the movie deals with the concept of the "weekend", the weekly attempt we make to escape from the explotative drugery of our corprate driven lives. With the movie saying ultimatley that it's futile. Shown with all the car wrecks and traffic jams, our inability to escape our conditions. And that human nature keeps us pinned down, wasting our energy on petty pickering amoungst ourselves. Shown with the constant sqables and violence throughout.
Definetly could have been executed better, but interesting ideas are there.
All those car crashes just prove that the French shouldn't drive.
especially the most dangerous place in paris : arc of triumph's roundabout. if you drive trhough and survive, you are a hell of a driver.
RIP Jean Luc Godard
A house burns down. A fat man takes a soapy bath. It's Theme Time Radio Hour with your host Matt Sloan.
Please tell me you two have seen Prince of Egypt! The illustration is nothing short of animation masterpiece, the voice actors are a long list of all-stars (please look it up!) and the music is just perfection. Easily Dreamwork's best animation movie (sorry, not sorry Shrek) and as someone who grew up on Biblical children's movies and programs, this is the best religious "kids" movie ever made! It makes me wish that animation movies were still made like this and it holds up twenty years later.
Man, I was hoping for the 2011 movie by the same name :P
Area 51 was a great game Craig
Me and a friend drank 3 bottles of wine when watching this, still not sure if it was the right call, still not sure if I like the movie or not. But the long scene with the accident is great.
I'm surprised you guys didn't make a La La Land joke during the traffic jam scene. That's all I could think.
You guys seen "Los Olvidados" (1950) by Bunuel?
I think they mentioned it on Seen It a while back
Do - "Flight of Dragons" for cartoon June!!! I'v been requesting it since episode 1. It would make one of your biggest fans content.
By the way dudes, have you seen Marathon Man? I saw it a couple of months ago and it's so far one of the best movies from the New Hollywood era that I've seen.
While I enjoyed this one, I think y'all should have watched "Contempt" over this one, hah. Love you guys.
This is Chief Inspector Clouseau speaking on the telephone.
Week-End is one of my favorite films ever, my second favorite Godard if I’m being honest. I was wondering if you’ve seen what I would consider his crowning achievement: Contempt. In my opinion, it’s the best film about filmmaking and my personal favorite French film ever made.
... why? No, seriously, what is it about the film that makes it in your top list?
sloth jr For me, it was a transcendent experience. Every viewing I’m left with a new thought about the film and I can’t stop thinking about it. It’s really hard to explain because there are people who love it and others who don’t, but for me, it’s as effective and perfect as any other film out there. I get so much out of it, but I don’t think I’ve even cracked the code on it.
sloth jr and if you meant why I loved Week-End (that response was for Contempt), I just love the zaniness of it. Godard is hard to explain why I love him, I just do.
It was actually meant for Week-End. I haven't seen it, but it did not ... appeal in the clips that WTTB showed. Thanks for your response, though.
"Contempt" is a masterpiece, but "Pierre Le Fou" is better if you prefer a brisk pace. Just one man's opinion.
Buscemi? Buscemi Buscemi, Buscemi.
fair enough
Here's a Seen It: Sullivan's Travels
Craig needs to try harder to hide the fact that he's a Vampire.
Would you upload the atmosfear Khufu the mummy on Halloween beer and board games please
Five out of five, for the video, I can’t and wouldn’t want to speak for the film.
The theme of this film : Life is a series of car accidents, and then you meet a Bronte sister and turn into a cannibal.
The older I get, the more true this statement becomes.
If a dog movie you guys are going for you should look no farther than the 1980 comedy "Oh Heavenly Dog". Starring that wonderful pup from the 80s Benji. Plus you have Chevy Chase and Jane Seymour to round out the human side of the cast.
I suppose you won't but if you come around to French movies again, you should watch OSS 117 Caire: Nid D'Espions (Cairo: Nest of Spies) or OSS 117 Rio Ne Repond Plus (Lost In Rio).
They are two films made by Michel Hazanavicius starring Jean Dujardin as a James Bond style French spy.
Cairo also stars Hazanavicius' wife Berenice Bejo. They all together created the Academy Award winning The Artist.
Jean Bruce started writing these serious spy novels before Ian Fleming and they had been made into serious spy movies. But Michel Hazanavicius created these two as parodies which recreate the look of the early Bond films with Dujardin doing his best Sean Connery.
Funny and fascinating.

I've seen both of these. We talked about them on a past episode, I don't remember which one.
Oh. Whoops! But they bear repeating in the comments for others to find out about. :D
"Weekend" sounds like such a stupid-fun-American-man film. Thank you for showing me the truth.
I think those actors who age into weirdness are the best. It's a trait.
I saw more fender benders sitting at an outside cafe in Paris than I've seen anywhere else in the world. I'm guessing its cultural.
you think maybe weird actors become weird over time because they've probably gone through some heavy shit in their lives? like maybe they've seen things that really impacted them. but theyre not weird in a creepy sense cause theyre ppl you'd want to shoot the shit with.
New game for B&BG.
I hope the cat movie is A Talking Cat!?
Question: Who is the next generation’s ‘everybody thinks they’re gonna be huge, then they be weird instead’ actor, and why is it Shia LeBoeuf?
Ever seen that one Godard film with Jane Fonda? You guys might like it better than Weekend
Seen It: Delicatessen?
If I knew nothing about the French and this movie was my first exposure to them, I feel like I would end up hating the entire country.
I want to see 4 punches or you have to see to movie again! :-)
Chadvader season 5 please!
I'm sorry, but Godard a footnote of a footnote in film history? Nah.. Breathless is still one of the essential works of cinema - a turning point in film history. I think you'll either love or hate Godard - I love his work, but I can see why people can hate it. And he is kind of a elitist snob - but he brought to much to filmmaking that I can forgive him that.
Out of all the movies you've seen on this show, which one would you give the most punches?
That's a great question. This one might top the list, although Miami Connection, Dungeons & Dragons, and Zabriskie Point all earn a few punches.
