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.
"Enough with the headache powder, get to the cocaine!" This show never fails to make me laugh out loud.
That "hot mustard" comment is one of my favorite Welcome to the Basement moments ever.
Your show is like a headache powder :D

Welcome to the Basement is my addiction...
The check for their meal would be $172.70 adjusted for inflation.
Edit: I should watch to the end before commenting.
Gene Wilder and I share the same birthday. I always try to watch at least one of his movies to celebrate
if you look closer at the bill the cover change was most of the bill. $6 ($100 with inflation) the drinks were 50 cents and 75 cents ($9 and $13)
Wilder was intellectual comedy when it wasn't done so much. I'll miss him. I rewatched Young Frankenstein not long after he died, and dang it's just amazing. I realize he is a part of so much of my comedy happy memories. If there is an afterlife of any sort, I hope he knows the joy he brought to so much of the world.
That Barrymore scene from Dinner at Eight surprised me the first time I saw it. That whole movie was good, but Barrymore really pulls you into his hopeless depression for those few moments. Right in the middle of an otherwise light hearted comedic film. It's one of my favorite movies to this day, which is strange when you consider my other favorite movies.
"See No Evil, Hear No Evil" was on Laff just yesterday. Stumbled on it by accident.
See no Evil, Hear no Evil had negative reviews when it was released which is...kinda stupid because I find the film quite entertaining to watch and it still shows that Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor have great comic chemistry together. R.I.P to both of them
I like that movie too. My older brothers introduced it to me as a kid, and I thought it was really great in parts. Even now as adults we quote it occasionally, and it still cracks us up.
once I took a headache powder and I went so far off the tracks I'm watching Welcome to the Basement
Can I just tell you - you guys have reignited my passion for the cinema. I want to work with that in my real life real world job...midlife crisis maybe but darnit I've always enjoyed movies, the good bad and ugly of them all. Thank you guys for fueling that!
It's not fair to complain about the quality of the audio, back then they used actual potatoes
thanks to the Irish audio technicians
And only One Potato a Man Each!? Sheer madness I say.
"A gangster's discarded mol." (i think that's what she said)
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Man i love this show.
I recently watched "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes' Smarter Brother" and it's definitely Wilder's best and most absurd. Marty Feldman and Madeline Khan costar. There's a ton of slapstick, puns, and song and dance! My husband and I could not stop laughing and proclaiming WTF throughout this...musical.
You guys should watch Narc with Ray Liotta and Jason Patric, its an amazing cop thriller which I didnt see coming and now im trying to spread to word about this overlooked gem. Love the show by the way :)
I'd also recommend narc- it's a truly underrated gem.
I'll check it out
I would love to hear what you two have to say about The Beatles doc Eight Days A Week The Touring Years. It perfectly depicted how tough and talented they really were. Also the new 4K footage in Shea Stadium and the rest of the film is breathtaking.
Awesome show as always! Love the Gene Wilder remembrances, he'll be missed!
I agree with Young Frankenstein being the best comedy. If you can't agree with that, at least the best Mel Brooks comedy. My wife and I love the channel and all it's shows, we wish you guys all the luck in the world in your future endeavors and continuation of your amazing series.
A Monty Python AND a Doctor Who reference in the same episode? Who can live at this speed??
My Grandmother also attended the same high school as Gene Wilder. I believe she was a freshman when he was a senior
awW guys, where my Adventures of Sherlock Holmes Smarter Brother seen it? Gene Wilder is amazing in it. My timing was eerily on point too.
8:44 shows two Sloe Gin Fizz and FOUR Highballs! Even Earnesto would raise kitty-brows at 50 cents a Highball! Now THAT'S the cat's PAJAMAS!
Nice symbolic imagery at 9:55 btw despite Craig's sassy Dalek reference. I'm guessing Jon Pertwee, 3rd Doctor timeline there.
Have either of you seen the two Peter Cushing Dr.Who films: Dr. Who and the Daleks (1965) and Daleks - Invasion Earth : 2150 AD (1966)
Finally, nice "Queen: Sheer Heart Attack" LP (cocaine result) reference in the background. You guys are always great.
Matt id love to hear a little about how you research your films for the intro. The parallel between the title and the coke slogan was interesting. your own idea?
Here's to Gene.
I wish you watched other media than film. I recently re-visited an old series called 'Flag', after ten years. I laughed and cried. It reminded me of my family, far away. It's a unique show. It takes the perspective of a journalist in a civil war. We see some brave people in the military, the struggle of the folk, and everyday tragedy. Regardless whether you mention it on the show, please watch it.
Props for that Sheer Heart Attack vinyl behind Craig
You guys should see Amadeus. A sad tale of a musical genius and a requiem for his own funeral which never was finished or played for him.
For their thoughts on "Amadeus", check out Episode 44: Viva Las Vegas. :)
Omg, I hope American Pop is next!!!
Tomato....
Broken bottle....
Coke spoon.....
Jane......
Funny stuff guys.
Thanks guys.
Great episode, love watching your new eps!
This was a highly interesting film, dealing with a lot of heavy and risque topics for the times. I gasped with Fanny and the suicide, wow.
The first 10 to 15 minutes of The Producers are perhaps the funniest in film history. "Do you have the checky? Cant produce pays without the checky?"
Another observation about bill is the tax would be almost three times that it shows on the bill
Fanny was played by Sheila Manners aka Sheila Bromley who had a long career stretching into the 70s. She was even in HORSE FEATHERS as Groucho's Receptionist.

Well...I learned something today. I knew cocaine used to be a cure-all, but I had no idea that people tried to defame it. I just assumed that people just stopped being stupid about it...like Listerine or other weird shit like that.
I appreciate the Tough Guys referenced whenever they appear.
14:03-14:13 when you accidentally foreshadow two future movies for WTTB.
Aw no =[ didn't even know of Gene Wilder's passing, RIP
Sisters of Mercy reference? I like it.
Omg Matt, your Gene Wilder impression is GREAT.
We love you Gene, you will forever be missed. Good day sir
is Panic in Needle Park based on this movie sightly... I swear there are so many similarities even in framing and sets.. whacky
This is an interesting "right at the beginning of the code" era movie...weird but murky and it feels like the director probably had a ton of film on the cutting room floor thanks to the era..in this age of director's cuts I have a feeling this one would be an interesting and compelling one
one of the funniest WTB. EVER. with cats
you guys are great
I can't remember any other episode from earlier where you guys seemed to have checked out so quickly from the film.
There is no Jane....only Zuul! Hahahahaha!
i love gene wilder, he's made me cry and laugh.
Great episode guys - but I don't envy you for sitting through this one.
Don't worry about us. It was only 64 minutes long.
Throw out your hands, stick out your tush, hands on your hips, give 'em a push, you'll be surprised you're doing the French Mistake - Voila !
Best Gene Wilder EVER!!!!!!!
I love Start the Revolution Without Me. RIP Gene Wilder
There is (was) at least one print of this movie that was in better shape - USA's Night Flight used to show it back in the day. I have a feeling that this movie was a lot more "exploitative" when it came out but that those scenes disappeared into the collections of projectionists along the way. If you want a movie that shows drug use step by step, you need to watch Girl Gang with Timothy Farrell.
Matt has the same hair as Dwight from The Office.
I have question: has this video been affected by the new TH-cam policy, because the theme of the movie you watched is about "drugs"?
Anyway, love the show, still watching every episode I haven't seen!
Great show as always guys! I would love for you to watch a movie starring the brilliant late Alan Rickman. Or even just talk about him in seen it?
LifeAsMorgan best Alan Rickman movie?
I'm pretty sure I'm addicted to Welcome To The Basement...
I looked up "dope" and it's simply a hard drug, but usually marijuana or heroine (Opposites on the Moh's drug hardness scale).
seen it akira kurosawa 1985 masterpiece's Ran
That movie poster looked pretty badass, too bad the movie was so tame. But I guess they couldn't get away with that much back then.
Luke Jordan is a legend
I haven't even heard of this movie before, but seeing as how it's an exploitation film about drugs from the 1930s, I'm guessing that we're about to enter some Reefer Madness territory.
Was wondering if you guys have seen Hell Comes for Frogtown
I genuinely thought that the title was "Cocaine Friends." It sounded a bit too whimsical for its own good, perhaps.
Well, I know what we're watching tonight.
Something doesn't make sense. On imdb when looking up the two lead actresses this movie isn't listed in their filmography. Is it because of the fact that it was a exploitation film?
Remember kids, don't do drugs. Instead of possibly ruining your life, and the life of those around you illegally, do it legally, with alcohol, and get that liver involved too!
Freaking $22 shots of Cognac!? Thanks for giving me another reason to never go to NY.
Have you guys seen Irreversible? A friend and I privately watch and discuss odd films, its French... but mostly dialogue-less. Talk about a shocking hard to watch film hooooweee.
"These cops are the beer fiends!"
But... how do you watch movies without drinking a beer?
"It condemns the vice, and also celebrates it, in a weird way." Sounds like most political news coverage this year.
craig is on fire :>
I'd love a Seen It of W. Like Chaplin's Great Dictator, it gave me a bizarre sympathy for a terrible man.
For their discussion of Charles Chaplin's "The Great Dictator" check out the "Logan's Run" episode.
The shelves behind Craig are looking pretty empty for some reason
Why'd you have to remind me of that?
sometimes i dont get craig. how can he say he "hates" the wolf of wall street because it kinda says that drugs are awesome? even if it did, whats wrong with that? does craig think that movies have to preach to people? jordan belfort had fun on drugs and the movie is about him. so anything else would be phony and patronizing
0/10 Not enough cocaine
Enough cocaine? No such thing
where's ernesto?
It kinda sounded like Matt said "Bob and Carol inside Alice". Did you watch the porn parody version by mistake?
People all over the Middle East drink
Did anyone else read the title as "the Cocaine Friends"?
Good thing she didn't blow her lines,
#MuskateerMustacheRide
Just in time for the new season of Narcos.
coca-cola is in bed with big cocaine
