Welcome to 1983 in the land down under where BMX is the king of dirt bikes. BMX Bandits delivers the kind of thrills that only a plot about stolen walkie-talkies can deliver. Not to mention teenage Nicole Kidman.
In Seen It, we discuss movies with common connecting threads: movies about silent priests, shuttered islands and five cab drivers who live on earth.

Welcome To The Basement" is a show about watching, discussing and having fun with movies. Matt chooses 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. - ตลก

"sleepy rester" killed me haha
Matt, you said:
> It's a movie that's about a thing and the movie
> is all about showing us that thing. And things
> like plot and character and story are secondary.

> What would you call that type of movie?

From Wikipedia: "An *exploitation film* is a film that attempts to succeed financially by exploiting current trends, niche genres, or lurid content."
Matt, this was a BMXploitation film.
This is why - in some way (and sometimes more explicitly than others) - all James Bond movies are exploitation films.
Wow, Craig was on FIRE this episode. He said Black Kid Market, he called a kid fat, and he said one of the only uncensored fucks in this series. Craig UNCHAINED
I also really liked the Specials reference. I loved the drunken version back in Gender Benders/True Colors too.
If only Michael Shannon were chasing the bike kids. Where's THAT movie?! :)
You're joking right? That movie exists already. It's called Premium Rush, from 2012.
Trygve R - That would be the joke...
caffeineadvocate im chasing a bicycle... Hehehehe
Just started my junior year at Cleveland State. I've been used to a small community college, so this first week has been exciting, but very overwhelming. So I was delighted to remember that it was Friday, and I was gunna get some WttB. Just wanted to let you guys know how much I appreciate the stuff ya do.
Trevin Taylor well i commute so not sure how that'll work out gradewise
I loved this movie when I was a kid! Around the mid 80's
I'm Australian (well, Italian-Australian). My reaction: "Yay, an Australian movie... wait, what? BMX Bandits?" Haha. Out of all the movies. You kill me, Matt. I haven't even seen it, as it was a bit before my time, so I missed the big craze (apparently it was really popular). And now I don't have to, thanks guys! Also, I forgive you guys for the accents-- they started off terrible, but you guys got pretty good at it towards the end! Thanks for watching an Aussie movie. I hope to see a couple more one day-- we do make movies better than this occasionally-- truly! Great episode as always, this one was especially funny. Kudos.
Good to see you blokes sampling some good old aussie films. Your video comes out when it's night time here, so I get to lay under the covers in my sleepy rester and enjoy your video
I haven't heard you and Craig sing "A Message to You Rudy" since the Gender Benders episode of Beer and Board Games 4 years ago. Memories.
This episode randomly popped into my head today for two reasons:
11:18
12:20 😂
I'm Australian. I was **literally** 8 when this movie came out. And I did love it.
You know what, this movie has reminded me that BMX bikes are pretty sick. The next time I see someone riding a BMX I will definitely take a few seconds to watch and enjoy it.
Have you guys seen 12 Angry Men? I watched it at a very young age and it has been one of my favorite movies since then.
I remember watching this as a child and it stirring me to desire a BMX. My parents got me a racer, which I hated.
Silence was amazing! My favorite film of 2016. Martin Scorsese's faith and hope in full effect with gorgeous pans and cinematography. It's so sincere that even without faith, I enjoyed their passion. Andrew Garfield and Adam Driver's best acting performances ever. Liam Neeson was excellent as well.
I like the Matrix idea but the events in Neo's everyday life should parallel what happened at those times in the original movie.
Seen it: Kingpin. A nihilistic comedy that reminds me of two things very Welcome to the Basement; people being reeeeally into bowling, and towards the end where Woody Harrelson goes for a bowl someone in the crowd shouts out "Atta boy, Luther."
I love it when Americans do good or bad Australian accents in videos. Not into bad Australian accents in movies though.
I love when Craig says he's " not religious " because I'm religious and Craig is more religious than me. He's very Catholic and has a deep understanding and appreciation for his culture and ancestral faith.
But are there any Angel Summoners?😏
This has got to be one of my favorite WTTB episodes. Both of you were great in this!
Seen it? Jonathan Demme's Something Wild. It starts off as a road movie, becomes a romantic comedy in the middle and becomes a thriller in the end. Ray Liotta's performance won him the role of Henry Hill.
P.S. Do another Bollywood movie. Love from India.
A Charlotte's Web joke, nice! ;)
Great work as always, gents. Seen it?! 'RAD' !
(Another cheesy but fun ride through the glorious world of 1980's BMX)
HOLY SHIT, Matt literally pitched the idea for Matrix Resurrections 4 years before it came out. I think someone is owed some moolah.
Water Rats is also an Australian TV show from the late 90s. It's not about BMX bikes though. It's about Sydneys water police.
I really like the cinematography of this movie. It kinda reminds me of Punch Drunk Love.
Chariots of tire made me actually lol.
This movie was filmed where I grew up in sydney's Northern Beaches. Might sound silly but I feel so close to you guys right now.
Oh man, my grade school self remembers being mad about how the cranks were missing on the bike in the water slide scene.
Great Paul Lynde impression!
I had to pause the video when you started singing The Specials. I was laughing too hard.
Keep up the great work. I don't know what happened but you guys have gotten funnier this season.
Love you guys!!! Thanks for the shout! :) Matt you should definitely check out Zootopia, it's really oustanding. It didn't win the academy award for nothin!
That AC/DC album seems very threatening, positioned where it is. Tensions on the old leather couch?
I had to pause this halfway through and go listen to The Specials. Don't worry, I came back to finish the video... eventually.
Rewatching this and Matt's movie idea actually kind of exists. In Clerks the Animated series, Dante keeps getting calls from Morpheus asking him if he wants to learn more about the Matrix. At one point he calls pretending to be someone else before shifting back to asking Dante if he wants to learn more about The Matrix. So if anyone wants to see a sliver of this idea, it's a great gag and I do with the full idea was made manifest
TH-cam doesn't have enough jokes about The Specials. Y'all have done your part with this A message to you rudy bit and the reference you made to Ghost Town a couple years ago.
Just realized I have seen this years ago. About the same time I saw North Shore and Side Out. Ah the 80's.
i remember getting walkie talkies for christmas, man me and my buddy went outside in the snow with em it was a blast.
7:58 Wow, a Charlotte's Web reference
And the Specials! Hell yes! Also, I watch the hell out of this on HBO as a kid! I loved this and Rad.
Great Templton impersonation!
YAAY Craig and Matt got a chance to redeem themselves for their disjointed performance of that specials song on Beer and Board Games!
My 1980s highschool self is sad I missed this.
You guys are on a roll with the jokes this week
Bustin into that Specials made me Busta!
Have you seen the Burt Lancaster film "The Swimmer"? Pretty odd movie, where he goes around to his neighbor's houses, and swims in their pools to finally get to his house. Throughout the movie he learns more and more about his semi dark self from his neighbors. Also features Joan Rivers in her first on screen role
The dead pixel (purple pixel) on Craig's camera near his face is really making it hard to focus for my OCD brain.
Nihil Rodgers, of course, is famous for the 70s disco classic "Bleak Times".
ha, remembered this movie used to be on UK TV at Christmas time in the late 80s early 90s. Director Brian Trenchard-Smith can be mostly seen these days on YT channel Movie Trailers from Hell.
The score of A Night on Earth was done by Tom Waits and it's fucking beautiful
Have you guys seen Andrey Tarkovsky's ''Stalker?'' Tarkovsky is my favorite director of all time and ''Stalker'' is a fantastic movie.
Bmxperts = Bowl Movement Experts
BowEL movement Experts
God, You guys have been a riot lately. I love it. Keep on keepin on friends!
I love how Matt's cracking himself up in this one.
What you described for the Matrix kinda resembles an ongoing ad done on an episode of Clerks animated. Dante constantly shoots down Morpheus trying to tell him about the Matrix.
Aww... You guys should have done 'Turkey Shoot' instead by the same director. Also known as 'Blood Camp Thatcher'. Steve Railsback and Olivia Hussey as you've never seen them before!
BMX actually stands for Bicycle Motocross. I've found the Internet has made observational humor obsolete. "Hey! What's the deal with that foible everyone complains about but no one takes the five seconds to Google?"
If you like this Brian Trenchard-Smith film, try out his earlier movie "Stunt Rock" (1978) which is about a stuntman and features the American hard rock act Sorcery; these were the guys who had Merlin fighting the Devil in their stage show. Pretty much everyone in the band was a stage magician and the two characters used illusions in their "battle."
Have you guys seen "The Adventures of Robin Hood", the 1939 version with Errol Flynn? One of the best ever films at using glorious technicolor, and IMO one of the top 10 film scores of all time.
See Shock Treatment, the sequel to Rocky Horror Picture Show. I think it's kind of a forgotten gem featuring welcome to the basement alumni Jessica Harper.
Wow. The bank robbers mask is the same mask that alex sowinski has in the canadian jazz band badbadnotgood.
Great video! #MissErnesto
You previously mentioned Robin Hardy's "The Wicker Tree" in passing. If you have not seen it, I would highly recommend it for the Halloween season (despite, again, it not being particularly scary.) It's hard to tell whether so much of it was intentionally humorous, nevertheless; I found it to be a very entertainingly (perhaps even endearingly) weird film.
@14:13 BMX is an acronym for Bicycle Motocross... :)
You guys need to do "Baby Doll". It's my favorite movie ever plus it's written by Tennessee Williams and directed by Elia Kazan.
Chained movies: Survive Style 5+. Great movie!
10:34
holy hell, our first F-word!
Nice one putting the AC/DC album because it's an Australian band
Nicole Kidman reminded me, have you seen Dead Calm?
Strictly Ballroom.
I believe that was an Austrilian film, and a daaaaaaamn good one too.
Have you watched it?
redeem yourself and stay down under and do the road movie Goodbye Pork Pie (NZ 1980)
The connected movies were connected!
My God, those puns at the end.
Is Craig a punner? Have you been hiding that from us, Matt?
calvinjluther Craig is a new father. I think his ability to pun comes from some genetic need to make Dad jokes.
Jason Terschak Impossible. I've yet to hear him say, "Hi x, I'm Dad."
I actually REALLY liked Paterson, particularly Golshifteh Farahani
WELCOME TO THE BASEMENT , WE GOT THE FUN AND GAMES !
Seen it: the classic 80s slasher, Sleep-away Camp?
I asked that last time, the ending still freaks me the fuck out. i hope they havent seen it so maybe we can get it in october.
TheYorkshireTom that would be spectacular. And yeah I was too young when I saw that movie and it freaked me out so bad lol
SPOILERS surprise penis lol
If you haven't already you should check out the movie "Wasabi" a French movie filmed mostly in Japan with my favorite French actor Jean Renue.
I would watch all the movies Matt pitches
Seen It: The Keep (1983)? It's an atmospheric light horror film featuring some heavy-hitters and familiar faces in the cast.
What's up for September? My Name Is Nobody?
Nicole Kidman looks a lot like an eighteen year old boy when ever she rides a bike, weird.
Jeez, mustache badguy's Lupin III cosplay is all kinds of confusing. Blue Jacket, Yellow Tie, Red Shirt?! Is he even trying?
Have you seen The Witch? I just watched it last night and really liked it a lot. Slow moving dread type horror that was a nice change from the constant action and gore of most current horror.
I don't remember which episode, but they did cover that movie in a previous "Seen It"
Loved you take on the movie Paterson, I've seen it twice at the Theatre just to make sure that was both interesting and boring, and for me it is, unfortunately!
Told L that I really want to watch the new Blade Runner film...
Oh yeah, I like that one 👩🏻
Really? 😯
Yeah.... I liked the old one
Oh?
Yeah, u know I like vampire stuff and the action scenes were pretty good. It's quite similar to Underworld 😊 That guy was in that film we watched with Sandra Bullock. .. The Demolition Man 🙂
...... That's Blade with Wesley Snipes love 😅
About the Matrix : The blue pill plot has been explorered in the video game called Path of Neo. But not as a Office comedy.
BMX / Madmax ? it s called Turbo Kid (and you should review it)
If you guys like Aussie movies, check out Long Weekend. It's a surrealist horror movies where animals attack, and considering it's set in Australia, nothing is out of the ordinary.
Who is Judy? WHO IS JUDY?
9:36 The bad guys are Pacino's crew from Dick Tracy!
Is Goose the kid version of The Goose from Mad Max? Makes sense.
Black kids market. Nearly fell of my chair
Seen it: have you guys watched Director Steven Soderbergh's take on Solaris (2002)? How about it's russian counterpart, from 1972, directed by the legendary Andrey Tarkovski?
And since I brought up Tarkovski, have you watched Zerkalo, Ivan's Childhood, The Sacrifice?
Keep on doing an awesome show! I laughed like a crazy person on the subway when you referenced a drunken Peter Falk in Husbands, when you talked about The Notebook, directed by Cassavetes's son.
Catalin Popescu I've been asking them to watch the 1972 Solaris for years. Its about time they did a Russian film.
Yo, Craig uncensored 🤘
My good M. Sloane, have you ever seen the "film" MIAMI CONNECTION, if I may be so bold as to put such schlock in the same category as CITIZEN KANE?
It has everything you want from a bad 80s movie: ninjas, kung fu, non-actors acting, non-musicians playing music, songs about friendship and being against ninjas, and a group of racially diverse college aged tae kwon do masters fighting against "the stupid cocaine."
They do an episode on this. I wonder if your suggestion spurred this?
I would watch this Matrix "reimagining"
5:00 Andy Milonakis?
BMX stand for bicycle motocross. It should be BMC but the X also stands for Xtreme which starts with an E so it should be BMeX, but there are no motors so it should be BPeX (Bicycle peddocross) which doesn't sound to good which is why they just called it BMX.
SirGeeeO - X means cross, example is "ped xing" signs meaning pedestrian crossing.
Lol, full Michael Caine
wasn't there a Goose in the first Mad Max, too
Australian movies? 1971's 'Walkabout' seen it?
Big Bad Love or Wristcutters. Seen it?
