Looks like it's ol' Welcome to the Basement week.
"Old Home Week or Old Home Day is a practice that originated in the New England region of the United States similar to a harvest holiday or festival. In its beginning in the 19th-20th century it involved a municipal effort to invite former residents of a village, town, or city-usually individuals who grew up in the municipality as children and moved elsewhere in adulthood-to visit the "Old Home", the parental household and home town. Some municipalities celebrate the holiday annually, while others celebrate it every few years."
beat me to it by 50 seconds!
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Home_Week
So they basically got it right. It is a townwide version of Homecoming rather than just a college.
My town does this. Over 150 years have been celebrated each summer!
Wow the cat is crazy this episode
Crazy awesome
The Last Podcast on the Left guys haaaated this movie!
Mighty white of Craig to get a new fresh do.
"...and so it was agreed that the episode would henceforth be known as the Catazode..."
On one of those days that I had nothing to do and nowhere to be, I watched “The Iceman,” “Wristcutters: A Love Story,” and “Kill the Irishman”.
A few days later, I tried to reflect on the three and just couldn’t do it. All I could wonder about was, “Is this what Tom Waits has nightmares about? Like if Disney buys Anti Records? It’s all a cold, heartless gray blur and nothing makes sense?”
All Matt's rap references really are "pearls before swine" with Craig.
Fun fact: Richard Kuklinski's demeanor in the original "The Iceman" documentary was the inspiration for the WWF wrestling character: Stone Cold Steve Austin. :D
And that's the bottom line.
When you need someone who has experience with freezing people, obviously you hire Captain America.
Fantastic rendition of Livin Thing by ELO, had me in tears 😂
My favourite moment too!
From Wikipedia - "Old Home Week is a town event held every 10 years. It is best described as a town reunion, a celebration of [a place's] citizens, past, present and future, and a honoring of its history. Events traditionally include a parade, a town dinner, class and family reunions and tours of local points of interest."
I don't comment here that often. I just wanted to say that I love this show so much. I've watched (and watched again!) since day one. I feel smarter with every episode!
Matt, I love your shirt in this episode! Very Jack Skellington (coincidentally, from my favourite movie!) - it's a great look on you. Hope to see it again in a future episode.
Dat kitty tho
Growing up I only ever heard my grandparents use the term "Old home week," typically after seeing a bunch of their friends while out. Since my grandparents were old, as were their friends, I took it to mean it's the week when the old folks home just lets all the elderly wonder about willy nilly. I haven't thought about that phrase in years.
I let out an audible “YES!!!!” When I read the title of this episode.
Me too!
Me as well.
Does Craig's hair have a twitter....?
Watching movies with friends and cats, that the dream man.
There is a lot more to it I’m sure, but that’s the dream.
Old Home Week is a town event held every 10 years. It is best described as a town reunion
There is nothing so bizarrely heartwarming or quintessentially 80s as the sci fi cult classic Enemy Mine. Seen it? :)
Seen it? The ballad of Buster Scruggs. A Coen brothers film that is about how you deal with life and death. Accept it or try and deny/survive. And also how you deal with the problems that arise from such a venture that no one can control.
That cat climbed out of Craig's new haircut.
Another great episode! Champagne and cranberry sauce with you all!
Check out the Iceman episodes on The Last Podcast on the Left.
Yes, much more entertaining than this movie
THE ICEMAN cometh!
Thanks ladies and germs, don't forget to tip your waiters.
Dumont, NJ - my hometown. Kuklinski's arrest was big news in our little town.
Great episode as always!!
Another great job guys. Thanks.
this should be titled "The singing episode!"
Both "the Impostors" and "the Triplets of Belleville" are amongst my favourite movies. The Impostors was oddly enough my introduction to Steve Buscemi, he's great in this movie.
After listening to the Last Podcast on the Left, I can’t take this film seriously.
Its gone from a "MailBAG"...to a "MailCRATE". CHEERS!
Omg, I saw the True Stories remaster premier this past week with a David Byrne Q & A. Freaking hilarious and incredible. Such a subtly trippy movie.
One of my favorite albums.
Love this show, great vid as always. I usually watch the Miami Connection episode every other week lol always kills me.. Can we get a entire episode of just "Scene/Seen It" it's my favorite part of the episodes. ✌️🏽 Oh and btw I'm gonna constantly post you should collab with RedLetterMedia lol till it happens
I watched "The Iceman" like a year ago and I thought it was pretty good. Like a B-, but as always Michael Shannon is the best part of the film. It's funny, I watched the episode of "Room 104" that he was in last night, then I watch this today and here's good old Shannon again! I won't ever tire of that man. His craft is a wonder. I loved him in "Revolutionary Road". The scene he was in is pretty much all I even remember of that movie.
Just started the video, but any reference to Talking Heads gets my goat. Annnnd, it's coming from Criterion this Tuesday. FINALLY!!!
The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, seen it?
Have you guys seen Run Lola Run from 1999 ? If not you need to see it. It is in German and has subtitles. But a great great movie.
In episode 39 - "The Ghost and Mr Chicken" they talk about Run Lola Run :-)
I bought this film in Blu Ray at the Dollar Tree along with Cold in July and the newest Police Story.
For some reason youtube started me 15 minutes in, I watched for a good a minute or two before I realized it wasent a cold open.
I Love This Movie!
"Beautiful friend of it." Hahahahaha!
1:49 BAAAD CAAAT
What is the name of the song that starts at 11:23 I've been searching for years
DonV The Hermit “heart of glass” - Blondie
Looks like someone is on catnip. 😂😂😂
The true story of Kuklinski is fascinating and one of my favourite true crime tales, and THIS is what they do with it? It's complete bullshit. Also clearly you cast D'Onofrio to play the Ice Man, not Shannon!
ICYMI, "y'all biscuitheads" is a Homestar Runner reference.
I was hoping this was the 1984 cave man movie ‘Iceman’
Seen it?
RIP, Mr. Liotta 🌹
Yay for once I watch it as it comes out. Hah, nice ELO bit, it made me giggle. Also, very clever record choice in the background. Great episode as always!
Welcome to the side cut club, Craig!
Me one minute ago: GASP! The Iceman!
Please watch "Annihilation". I love that movie and would love to see your take on it
SEEN IT? Shadow of a Doubt.
Hitchock's masterpiece as far as I'm concerned. Sure there are some flaws, but the dialogue is excellent, Wright and Cotten give captivating performances, and some of the subtext is unexpectedly dark - especially for the time. I'm sure Craig will appreciate it, given a film in his top 5 surely must've taken a heap of inspiration from it.
Intriguing
Apparently the very mention of Michael Shannon has a hypnotic effect on cats.
Have you seen Bernie? It's an underrated dark comedy in my opinion. I watch it any time I'm feeling homesick for East Texas
I don't see it mentioned in the WTTBs you've done so far, and it's one of those movies that burned itself into my eyeballs when I was a kid: Earth Girls Are Easy. It is not a good movie, but does feature the sexiest Jeff Goldblum I've ever seen. Have you seen it?
Baby Cookie often attends Old Home Week: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Home_Week
4:32 The porn he was dubbing was probably foreign films shot in other languages,
Thank fuck I don't have to watch this now after listening the Last Podcast on the Left talk about Kuklinski and shit all over this movie I was kinda curious but now I don't have to go there.
Hey guys great episode :) For Seen It, Downfall and Beyond the Mat. Downfall is a German movie about the last days of ww2 in Europe and Hitler's life. Now most famous for the internet parodies but Bruno Ganz gives an amazing performance and the whole movie is breathtakingly tense and profoundly sad. Beyond the Mat is a behind the scenes documentary about wrestling. Kinda clunky in parts (has some emotionally manipulative editing and cheesy music) but a fascinating and sympathetic look into a hidden and little understood sub culture. Would love to hear your thoughts on both. Also you've said before that some movies are too long for the show. What's the longest movie you'll watch?
Have you seen final destination? Pretty funny take on horror tropes that often gets disregarded as one of those cruddy early 00's horror movies
This movie was bullshit, the real iceman was not a loving husband, he would regularly beat his wife, she once got pregnant and be beat her up so she'd lose it, the only person he really loved was his first daughter, he once told her if he had to kill her he'd be sad, he only knew killing and he did it well, this movie tries to paint him in a sympathetic light and it sucks, Shannon did an amazing job tho, I will say that.
You do realize that this was a movie and not a documentary, right?
@@movienerd202 that doesn't make a difference.
@@movienerd202 and that is the lamest excuse for when a film disregards integrity for appealing to the lowest common denominator.
@@gavinhenderson7250 What's really lame is when someone whines and complains on the internet.
@@movienerd202 So is throwing back insults on said internet.
i love you craig
I kinda hope, Matt, that you saved THE BALLAD OF BUSTER SCRUGGS for this show, because otherwise you've already seen it.
The main reason I bring it up is that it was partially shot up in Scottsbluff and is the first time I've seen western Nebraska, where I grew up, on film.
Keeping up with serial killer movies- SEEN IT- “Citizen X”? Despite being made for tv, I think it is one of the best movies about a serial killer to date (von Trier’s The House That Jack Built hasn’t been released yet- 🤞🏻)
Darn. When I heard you guys were watching The Iceman, I thought it was going to be the Donnie Yen movie.
Dear Matt and Craig:
Please watch Pound Puppies and the Legend of Big Paw.
Thanks!
1:11 Black sabbath :D
Does this movie have any relation to the famous play "the iceman cometh?"
Not a bit.
A welcher, a term from the nowies.
When I was studying filmmaking a classmate of mine made me suffer through Dogville. While it was interesting the first couple of minutes with the set being just a flat stage I thoroughly hated the rest of it! But I watched it to the end because I thought I had to learn to like movies like that now that I was a film student. So it's a relief to see that you guys also hated it and that I was right to think it was pretentious and horrible! It has a rather satisfying climax though.
You Dark Wizard!
You used Talking Heads in another episode.
I doubt this was actually Michael Shannon's character's job...but you can totally look up described video for pornography where rather bored sounding individuals narrate the events of videos in a dry, borderline medical way. They're kinda fascinating.
I also imagine porn foley work is a real thing? Putting in all those moans and slappity slaps.
Knowing that you guys are Talking Heads fans has made you even cooler in my eyes than you already were before.
Also, maybe it's just me, but I think Craig's voice sounds a little bit like Robert Downey Jr's.
Seen It: The Apple?
I love you guys. But, I think we will always (respectfully) disagree about Godard and von Trier. Always enjoy a Friday afternoon/evening w/ you two talking on movies.
Godard and von Trier are there to be argued over. I can't fault anyone for liking either of them.
Craig Johnson Much love, Craig.
I just had the urge to ask my grandparents what the old home week thing means. But they have all recently passed away. 😭
Hahaha nice meme
Shandango?
Matt's use of this word was more mystifying to me than Ol' Home Week ever was.
Any movie with Michael Shannon. They both have acting crushes on him.
Razzle Dazzle.
Man, I fucking loved The Iceman. Michael Shannon is so intimidating, Winona Ryder is compelling, and Chris Evans is hilarious.
oh come on craig, lars von trier doesn't have the same talent godard does. lars von trier couldnt make a movie as good as breathless.
Matt reusing Ain't Nothing But A G Thang is like a nostalgia hit more than a joke.
