Welcome To The Basement" is a show about watching, discussing and having fun with movies. None of the discussion or riffing is planned ahead of time.
The movie announced on Facebook before every new episode. We do discuss the entire movie, including the ending, so if you want to avoid spoilers, watch the movie first. - ตลก
A prefix goes at the beginning of the word, and a suffix goes at the end of the word. I think the term Craig was looking for was affix, which is a particle that attaches at some point to the root, and includes both of the previous terms.
This is the first time that Craig “suffix” Johnson has been wrong on the show. Matt should’ve edited it out. Now I can’t lazily take everything he says as truth. I added a suffix and an affix to lazy.
+
Affixes also include my favorite: infixes. Like abso-f*cking-lutely.
@@NathanEHarvey Weeell... he's been wrong before, notably about the Peanut Butter thing, haha. But we all make mistakes, it's always good to fact check anything anyone says.
I love how matter of fact the both of you are when it's not really confirmed.
Seriously, thank you for being human.
I remember watching the first video when Craig was asked to join, and I thought that this might be the beginning of something special, and it certainly has been.
In linguistics, a suffix (sometimes termed postfix) is an affix which is placed after the stem of a word. Sorry Craig
I hope you guys never stop. It's thanks to you that I broadened my movie horizon. I also tend to binge your show whenever I have a bad time in my life. So you've kind of been with me through it all. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for doing this great show.
Speaking if animal actors, and the Wizard of Oz, I had a curiosity of why Uncle Billy had a pet raven. I didn't find out why he had a one, but I did find out that the Raven, Jimmy the Raven, played in over 1,000 feature films. Jimmy Stewart said that the raven "is the smartest actor on the set" requiring fewer re-takes than his human counterparts. All that info and no reason why Uncle Billy had one as a pet.
And by Uncle Billy, you mean It's a Wonderful Life?
Yes, that is correct.
I'm so happy I finally got on scene it. Also from the sound of it I need to work on my punctuation.
"They forgot to touch 2nd." lol... "and they forgot their hats." LMAO!
Some of these 30s movies are the best ones of the show
Because some of them are the best films. Period.
Terry Jones was the most versatile and he could play a woman better than any other Python. Not that he looked any better, but that delivery ... "He's not the messiah, he's a very naughty boy!" ... no one but Jones could pull that off.
I just saw a clip from an old Shetland Islands film, and they interviewed a woman that looked and sounded exactly like a Terry Jones pepperpot, kerchief and all. I was astounded at how on the nose he was in his portrayal!
Cary Grant made some damn fine movies. Glad he made the basement.
No exaggeration, This is certain to become one of my new favorite episodes since you guys' unique brand of humor rings true from start to finish. Since I just moved to Belgium I have to ask if you've seen any of the films of Agnes Varda. I just saw Cléo from 5 to 7 and It showed a whole new side of the french new wave. It tackles both societal expectations of women in the late 60s as well as the power of film and art against tough situations in life.
That whole re- suffix prefix bit has to be the most accurate representation of the stuff me and my friends talk about, probably why we love this show.
Barbara Vance from Barbara Vance Refrigerators?
What a pup!
"They forgot to touch second" for some reason had me busting a gut. It was so unexpected. What a charming movie
Yay! I'm glad you guys talked about Marriage Story! It's up there with The Farewell & Parasite as my favorite film from 2019. Like Craig, I have friends that just refuse to see it, but not because it'll hit too close to home, but that they think it's just a depressing drama instead of also being quite funny.
I know this is a weird thing to pick out from this whole video, but rewind doesn't mean backwards, it's quite literally rewinding the tape around the spool in the video tape.
On that note, this seems like a fun movie and you're right, that last scene with them and the door and the way she looks at him at the end is just so perfect. I only wish I could pull off that same movement with any amount of grace that she had for it. Absolutely stunning.
Also, despite the fact that you probably shouldn't be kissing your tutor...it's a LOT of people's fantasy XD
Yes this is the second Deakins win. But you guys forgot how Emmanuel Lubezki won 3 consecutive years. 2013, 2014 and 2015!
Is that a too many cooks reference??
This video makes me nostalgic for February. It is currently July.
Phone rings, "Everytime I hear that darn thing... It's ringing."
the Awful Truth is a really good movie! More so for the actors than the script. Grant is funny, handsome and self effacing. Dunne is quite alluring.
This was your best linguistic podcast yet
For people who have never seen it check out a series called Ripping Yarns created by Terry Jones and Michael Palin. There are only 8 episodes, but they are a hoot.
I love watching you guys debate the English language
Rewind means you're winding it again. Remember either reels or tapes, they would move to one spool, then you rewound them to the other.
Yes! I was hoping you guys would get to a screwball comedy one of these days.
Basketball was invented in 1891. The backboard was added roughly 5 years later (cementing the practical use of "rebound shots") and the actual word "rebound" seems to have shown up in a basketball context within 10 years after that. Despite the age of this movie, it's still very plausible that "rebound" came into dating from sports!
(Sources: Wikipedia, Online Etymology Dictionary)
I have 2 hardcover Python books (same book. It showed up damaged from Palin's website and he offered to sign a 2nd one! What a gent!). Cleese signed the solid copy. Just need to track down the remaining Terry (my FAVE director) and Idle before they do the Parrot Sketch for real.
I went straight from going out and watching Parasite to coming home and watching this, with the realization that this episode would be waiting, and the movie I had just seen would be on Seen It. Considering I had just spent a whole dinner talking about the ten themes stacked on top of each other, it was great to hear from two people whose opinions on film I respect so highly.
Nice His Girl Friday movie reference with Ralf Bellamy
Great. Now I can't stop thinking about prefixes and suffixes.. and I have to work today!
You jerks..
To Terry Jones, the Most Versatile award. To me, The Sportsmanship award. (I showed up for practice.)
Testicular torsion isn't a laughing matter
My favorite Cary Grant movie is 'I was a male war bride'. Seen it?
A suffix is an affix. A prefix is also an affix. A prefix is not a suffix.
Maybe rewind does mean 'to wind again'? Like you wound the tape one way to watch/listen to it, and now you have to wind it again to get it to its starting point??
Suffix is on the end. Prefix is before.An affix is both, and either.
I'll add my 2 cents worth, just because everyone else and their cat has already said it: 'Suffix' - goes at the end of a word. But hey, Craig, you were pretty DAMNED convincing! I had to Google it (and this coming from a pretend author - me).
I love your baseball reference.
Forgive me my "Well, ACTUALLY..." post: I think you might be thinking of "affix," Craig, rather than "suffix"---affix refers to the general thing added to a word to change its meaning, rather than suffix, which is the type of affix added to the end. I got curious about the use of "rebound" in terms of romance, so I checked the OED, which quotes an 1853 source for its earliest use. Much older than I would have guessed. Interesting! Thanks for another great episode and discussion!
(I see other people have already affixed their comments, though. Sorry for the redundancy!)
@@seanhenry2921 Don't worry about it. You vindicated your redundancy with the rebound research. Re-search.
And I should say, as I was going down the comments, I thought, "There is a slight chance, I was right, and everyone else is... Nope. The English professor weighed in."
@@craigjohnson6423 Vindicate redundancy through research = story of my life!
Egotizztical Snifff ft. Lil' Nutmeg - The 12 Dayz of Chrizzmas?
Ah, Blood on the Tracks. My personal favorite Bob Dylan album
You're never going to live that suffix thing down, Craig.
Didja guys see Pain and Glory from last year, absolutely adored it
As per the other comments, the word we're looking for is "affix". We really need "affix". It's been a week since I've had "affix". I am addicted to drugs.
Andrew Scott is Irish, not English. That's not a mistake you'd want to make in Dublin.
at minute 21:00 he says he is not feeling merth, or merf? whats the adjective please?
@@normanstansfield9872 This is a year late, but the word is 'mirth'.
Bit late to the party but great ep as always guys. I could see you guys being iffy about Irene Dunn until the sister scene, and even just watching the clips I could see she was a bit flat until then.
Yeah, the suffix thing... Matt is right. An easy way to remember is to break it down to the literal meaning of the Latin-- Suffixum--. 'Su' is from 'Sub' and 'fixum' is literally to fix. So it's something fixed to the 'sub' (under, or the end) of the word. It's always 'under' because of the 'su' in the word, for the same reason, 'pre' always goes before. Though funnily enough, 'sub' on its own is a prefix, haha. (Submarine/Subterranean)
I speak Italian so I tend break it down in meaning when I'm unsure, since 'su/pre' is more widely heard in Italian. It's a nice little shortcut for me.
One day perhaps and maybe you'll do a Jean Claude Van Damme movie, think prime VD like Timecop or Sudden Death? Thank you for a wonderful show... :)
Seen It, Suburbia?
Blood on the Tracks is my favorite Bob Dylan album
1st View.. 1st Comment.. 8th Season. Keep the Episodes coming Matt & Craig..
Nice His Girl Friday reference.
Movie time on my birthday. This day is getting better
We do it for you, UmamaGoblin. Happy Birthday.
Craig...the suffix talk...it's gravity all over again.........
I wouldn't wish divorce on my worst enemy, it's fucking awful.
That is the exact way I talk O:
At minute 21:00 he mentioned Andrew Scott...
but I cant understand the word he descrbies him...
(he is not able to feel merf? merth?)
Little Women is so good
hopefully i get a postcard out before Cartoon June, but please check out the *anime* Metropolis (2001), based off an Osamu Tezuka manga he wrote after hearing a bit about Lang's original and watching 15 minutes of it :P
People take the legal right to divorce for granted.
A prefix is not a suffix
Fluffy wears Hawaiian shirts.
Toto may have had a better film career, but Bert Lahr, i believe, had a stellar vaudeville career...maybe i should google that.
Paused the video, went to the commentsection to see if anyone could shed some light on that "prefix/suffix arguement".
Not dissapointed.
Seen it: Bob Hope and Dorothy Lamour without Bing in My Favorite Brunette, Hope finds himself stuck in a film noir plot including brilliant comedic turns by Peter Lorre and Lon Chaney Jr. Hope and Lamour work great together as romantic leads and the story actually makes sense rather than being a confusing mess like many noir pastiches.
The English lesson is funny, one is the English patient, which one?
Concerning the Monty Python discussion; foot crushing something with fart sound is one of the most iconic things TV has ever produced.
Seeing as how this was a ‘Valentines Day’ episode what do you think about the Sonic movie which came out on that day? Even if you haven’t seen it yet, do you feel at least a little drive to see it seeing as how it’s probably the first time in ages if not ever that a studio got massive negative feedback and instead of lashing back, toxic fanbase I believe is the popular term, they took it to heart and actually delayed its release to fix its biggest problem. Also its got Jim Carrey returning to form after so long.
Craig is wrong when he says that prefixes are a type of suffix. The word he the thinking of is affix. Prefixes are affixes start words. Suffixes are ones that end words, There are also interfixes that you in between words, but only if you are really edu-ma-cated.
Andrew Scott is Irish not English!
Not a bad film, but I like Grant and Dunne better in My Favorite Wife.
The awful truth is this movie's painfully unfunny. Was there a nitrous oxide leak in that basement?
You two are not as funny as you thing you are. Your remarks are neither cutting wit nor particularly amusing.
