And the writer/director of the film became Tomlin’s long-term girlfriend (and eventual wife). Meaning NO ONE involved in the production wanted to see Tomlin end up with Travolta.
I remember just about nothing from this movie, but the delivery of "vile fucking woman" plays in my head at least once a month since this review first came out.
After binge watching Cinema Snob episodes for the past 2 weeks I came across this forgotten atrocity and I think this is the funniest riffview yet. I almost peed on myself several times from laughing so hard.
This movie would could have probably redeemed itself if by the end it was revealed Travolta and Tomlin were just trying really hard to find a beard without saying such
I think Jane Wagner would have preferred to write a screenplay in which John Travolta‘s character was played by a woman. She was, after all, Lily Tomlin‘s partner at the time, and still is, and if you substitute a female character for John Travolta‘s character, suddenly the whole movie makes sense. I think that if this movie was made in a different time, Jane could’ve made a lesbian love story, but decades ago, it just wouldn’t fly.
Im sorry, but I shall have to respectfully disagree with this assessment. Id rather see Lily Thomlin trying to romance a corpse and a dog before Id watch any of the twilight movies again.
It's telling that Tomlin has better chemistry and looks less bored in her scenes with Andra Akers than she does with Travolta. She actually smiles! I do have to say, though, that this film does effectively portray two lonely, self-absorbed people who have no ability to love.
This movie was written and directed by the then partner and now wife of Lilly Tomlin. Which is already weird. Also, regarding your joke of Tomlin looking like Travolta’s sister in this movie, I read an article regarding this movie and a pic of him and his actual sister accompanied it and.....yeah. Sigh.
When a gay man and a gay woman are forced to be romantic leads... Though TO BE FAIIIIIR Rock Hudson still managed to have decent chemistry with his co-stars.
Everything Travolta is saying at the beginning of this movie - why won't you admit you were worried about me and I love to think of of you tossing and turning, etc. - is extremely creepy. Especially when he's followed her home and then just showed up at her house. But, hell, it was the Golden Age of Stalking..... It's not a romance. It's Adoption with Benefits.
Actually, I finally got a good copy of the movie. He didn't follow her to the beach house - that's where he did the valet job for her so he'd been there before and she kept announcing that that's where she was going (ah, the 70's). Although I'm not sure how you fit a party big enough to need valet parking in that house. And what he's saying is still creepy
@@BulletTooth504 AND even though she doesn't appear to trust him at all, she takes one of them that night. So she's semi-suicidal? "If they work, great. If they kill me, that's okay too" And she lets him start living there because his friend died - but she only had HIS WORD on that. He could have been lying. In fact, besides a pic he shows her that could be anyone, she has no proof that this guy Greg really exists at all. This is how people get laws named after them.
18:21 This is a FETISH of mine: I LOVE finding movie theaters in movies and what's playing and when. Jaws 2 came out in around June/ July of 1978 - so you know when this was being filmed. In the Led Zeppelin movie - The Song Remains the Same - their limo is driving down Broadway and The Stepford Wives is playing in one theatre !
That's an interesting fetish. It's does make me wonder, what are some of the other famous movies you've caught in other films? Please let me know Cheers from Canada
Moment by moment, It is a very beautiful love movie, a forbidden love, I have seen it many many times and it always makes me cry, the music is beautiful and he really fell in love with it despite the age difference.
And if I may, when will we get a Rape Squad 2 review ? I would say it could have been part of the 10th anniversary bundle of sequels, but those were fine so I won't complain it wasn't in there.
Sorry for being three years late, but the reason is the rights. Universal and Stigwood were so embarrassed by this movie that they wanted it to remain as obscure as possible, it wasn't given an official home media release in English speaking countries until 2021, several years after Stigwood died. It's also rumored that John Travolta had a hand in it, as it's apparently the only movie he regrets making.
5:00 i had to pause the video i was laughing so hard. if i didn't know that lily tomlin's wife write this movie, i'd think shooting these scenes with john travolta is when she realized she was gay.
BTW, this is on blu ray now...it's through Kino Lorber. I don't know what's funnier - that the commentary track seems to be all about this being some kind of milestone in female directors (one that never directed before or since?) or the reviews on Amazon acting like this is the best movie ever made.
Fun fact: The writer and director of this film, Jane Wagner, was Lily Tomlin’s long-term girlfriend, and they eventually married the year this review was released. I’m now convinced she made this film to show Tomlin how miserable she would be as a heterosexual.
Watching this video and Snob's review of Endless Love back-to-back, and judging from the footage of the movies shown in both reviews, I think Moment By Moment looks like the worse film of the two. At least some fucked up stuff happens in Endless Love to keep it from being too boring. Moment By Moment somehow manages to not only be more boring, but even more cringe worthy.
"The title of the episode is right there." Points upward while the actual title is downward. Fail. I know this was before this was uploaded to YT, so I'm messing around.
Hey if you want another turkey from 1978 to review, check out IF EVER I SEE YOU AGAIN. This stinker featured Joseph Brooks and Shelley Hack as the romantic leads (!!!), Roberta Flack performed the title song and is on record saying she absolutely HATED it, and you could also do an entire episode on the super creepy backstory of Joseph Brooks. Seek it out and enjoy!
Eh, I can't bring myself to be too weirded out that Lily and John look so similar in this. I've heard it's actually pretty normal for most folks to be attracted to people who look similar to them! ...Though it's more likely because EVERYONE in the 70s looks like the same person to me.
10:31 He's got a FEVER, an d the only prescription is MORE COWBELL! 22:53 And I'm watching this show because you brought up this movie in your Endless Love review, which I watched after your Very Private Lesson Review. Do you have a playlist of these kinds of movies?
Google says nothing about it, but I suppose some things are hidden even from the One All-Seeing Eye. I have no memory of it, but I've been wrong before.
The director was also her girlfriend at the time and now wife. I think that's why it's a "romantic drama" where you can't help but actively root for the two main characters to not be together.
only true afficionados of cinema snob watch the vids in 360 quality. Wonder if Lily is the reason Travolta turned to the cult that must not be mentioned.
You know what movie this reminds me of? Ashton Kutcher in "Spread" (they glossed over how Travolta's character paid the rent in this movie)... I don't know if Cinema Snob wants to torture himself with reviewing "Spread" though.
![[Live] : ONE 169 วันนี้!! "อนาโตลี vs อูมาร์"](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/IK3YZVWuFJg/mqdefault.jpg)
I haven't seen a movie where the two stars were so disinterested in each other as Tomlin and Travolta are in this
Nicolas Young Because they're gay.
Michael Lewis He's gay; she's lesbian.
And the writer/director of the film became Tomlin’s long-term girlfriend (and eventual wife). Meaning NO ONE involved in the production wanted to see Tomlin end up with Travolta.
Fifty Shades Freed comes close
This movie is now 40 years old. A legend of badness.
Snob: "Moment by Moment is the worst romance film ever made!" *dumbass who made Old Fashioned* : "Hold my non-alcoholic seltzer beverage."
I remember just about nothing from this movie, but the delivery of "vile fucking woman" plays in my head at least once a month since this review first came out.
After binge watching Cinema Snob episodes for the past 2 weeks I came across this forgotten atrocity and I think this is the funniest riffview yet. I almost peed on myself several times from laughing so hard.
Remember when Netflix was a DVD rental service?
sensibleGamer Yes.
It still is
What’s a DVD? 🤨
Its like a blu-ray but much more chrome looking.
Shiirow blu ray? Like, you point a ray at your television? that sounds needlessly complicated, just pirate it from the internet my dude.
No, Snob! Stop! There are a lot of people who can claim to be jealous of someone's voice, and you're not one of them.
This movie would could have probably redeemed itself if by the end it was revealed Travolta and Tomlin were just trying really hard to find a beard without saying such

Moment By Moment is coming to Blu-ray in August 2021.
This and stepfather might be my favorite reviews. No clue why to be honest but I find myself always coming back to them over and over again.
For once Twilight was the better love story...
I think its as bad
Yes, but it's a lot more fun to watch this train wreck over twilight's tripe~
True
Im sorry, but I shall have to respectfully disagree with this assessment. Id rather see Lily Thomlin trying to romance a corpse and a dog before Id watch any of the twilight movies again.
Or read the books
It's telling that Tomlin has better chemistry and looks less bored in her scenes with Andra Akers than she does with Travolta. She actually smiles! I do have to say, though, that this film does effectively portray two lonely, self-absorbed people who have no ability to love.

Christopher Jones Awkward.
Wait, John Travolta has an actual sister?!
She really does look like Ellen Travolta!
Christopher Jones Ew 😖
Holy fuck. That resemblance is creepy.
This is the least romantic romance I've ever seen.
Yeah, even Vertigo was a better romance than this.
When a gay man and a gay woman are forced to be romantic leads...
Though TO BE FAIIIIIR Rock Hudson still managed to have decent chemistry with his co-stars.
Man, that ending was a real slapper.
This makes me want a romcom set in the 70s about a closeted lesbian and a gay man, meeting and deciding to be each others beards.
This NEEDS to be the plot of the next Stoned Gremlin Production movie (after the snob movie sequel of course)
Wrong decade but that's basically what Harold Nicolson and Vita Sackville-West had going on.
I'm not sure she's a lesbian, but Old Fashioned gets that half right.
Sounds like the Fecal Matter song Made Not Born.
Just a story of two really good friends. Sounds cute.
Anybody else notice the title song for Moment By Moment sounds a lot like the title song for The Lonely Lady.
"This whole movie is the third act break up!" xD

On top of all the creepy things you mention, he also offers her pills several time. Any sane woman would have brought out the pepper spray.

Yes! I was hoping this would get a reupload! One of my favorite WTF Hollywood movies of all time
Hope The Apple gets a re-upload
I like to think of this as Tony Manero banging Miss Frizzle.

@@steveharvey2102 In Midnight Cowboy you see a movie theater showing Frankenstein Conquers the World - a bad funny TOHO Godzilla like movie.
In Aloha Bobby and Rose a theatre shows Last House on the Left and Don't Look in the Basement (1973/74)
This was the third movie in a 3 movie contract that he had with Stigwood and it was panned at release.
Directing those two must have been a dream job, such sizzling tension.
This is/was/and likely always will be my favorite episode. I'm so fucking happy right now
Moment by moment, It is a very beautiful love movie, a forbidden love, I have seen it many many times and it always makes me cry, the music is beautiful and he really fell in love with it despite the age difference.
So when will the Rape Squad Review be rereleased?
And if I may, when will we get a Rape Squad 2 review ? I would say it could have been part of the 10th anniversary bundle of sequels, but those were fine so I won't complain it wasn't in there.
I think this movie is creepier then rape squad.
Oh yes, the movie featuring two obviously gay actors pretend to be not-gay with one another
EdgarAllenHoe 🤣Your name 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂⚰
The opposite of gay to pay
EdgarAllenHoe The simmering eroticism of a cold plank of wood in lukewarm water
Hello my fellow straights
That sounds like my first relationship. XD
For the love of Joel Hodgson, why wasn't this a MST3K episode?!
At this point
I'd take a rifftrax version!
Would be hilarious.

Were both leads on 'ludes throughout the filming? Both show almost as much enthusiasm as someone receiving a pair of socks for christmas.
Moment by moment: the stalker manual for the 70's.
5:00 i had to pause the video i was laughing so hard. if i didn't know that lily tomlin's wife write this movie, i'd think shooting these scenes with john travolta is when she realized she was gay.
Would love to see MoviePass defend this gem for poor ol' John
Had to see this review again after the Kino Lorber Blu-ray was announced today.
How can this possibly qualify as romantic?
Thanks for re-uploading it kind of became one of my favorite ones.
ugh. a CLASSIC
Kinda weird seeing Brad with hair these days.
Golden Girl re-upload when?
Can you re-post the Endless Love review??
luisalonsoecheverria If he doesn't, someone else uploaded it.
I know, but I'd like to see it re-uploaded to his channel.
I hear ya brother. While i could easily watch the reviews somewhere else, i'd prefer to support his him by watching it on his actual channel.
Check now it got uploaded. Your wish is granted by the Snob.
Hope he reuploads the Turksploitation film reviews.
I noticed that John Travolta’s failures didn’t show up in the re-upload.
A couple of clips had to be snipped for Content ID.
Was I the only one who remembered Singing in the Rain when she said all those "I love u i love u i love u" repeatedly?
f pp Nope, not at all.
BTW, this is on blu ray now...it's through Kino Lorber. I don't know what's funnier - that the commentary track seems to be all about this being some kind of milestone in female directors (one that never directed before or since?) or the reviews on Amazon acting like this is the best movie ever made.
@Moses Mead I'm trying to get someone else interested in reviewing it...Good Bad or Bad Bad, Cinematic Excrement, Homeless Movies.
This is one of those times where I wish he had reviewed Old Fashioned before that one. Just imagine all the Clay Walsh jokes.
Fun fact: The writer and director of this film, Jane Wagner, was Lily Tomlin’s long-term girlfriend, and they eventually married the year this review was released. I’m now convinced she made this film to show Tomlin how miserable she would be as a heterosexual.
I think Wagner was just playing a prank on Tomlin, but took it too far.
Classic Snob
That was my first reaction. She looked like his elder sister
you know this video is old when Brad points upward to show the title.
Lily Tomlin looks so bored in this movie.
LOAblue Travolta *sounds* bored here.
I'd be bored as fuck too if I was in this.
LOAblue maybe she shouldn’t make a movie where she has to fuck a dude, and I film written and directed by her partner
1:57- Unlike nowadays, MANY movie/TV fans have Netflix accounts.
3:47- Please upload your Sgt. Pepper episode on TH-cam sometime.
I found a novelization of this movie at the grocery store
Oh Strip!
"After annoying her some more he keeps on talking even after she's left..."
Reminds me of my boyfriend.
Harry horner...thats James Horner's dad
Reference to The Vanishing? Just when I thought you couldn’t get any more awesome
I wouldn't mind seeing an original vs remake reveiw of that one.
After seeing this from 5 years ago I'd say the Snob definitely has a type.
MrMoneyclips and that type is?
dark haired, fair skinned and voluptuous.
Watching this video and Snob's review of Endless Love back-to-back, and judging from the footage of the movies shown in both reviews, I think Moment By Moment looks like the worse film of the two. At least some fucked up stuff happens in Endless Love to keep it from being too boring. Moment By Moment somehow manages to not only be more boring, but even more cringe worthy.
Yay I was looking for this episode!
"The title of the episode is right there." Points upward while the actual title is downward. Fail. I know this was before this was uploaded to YT, so I'm messing around.
Yeah, they look alike, but I'd say Mother and Son over Brother and Sister..., I don't know how this makes it better or worse, but there...
You should upload again the Sgt.Pepper review. It was hilarious

Uncomfortable and nauseous and those are the best sensations this movie is giving me.
this movie made Polaroids cool way before Thirteen Reasons Why
If you're reposting this Travolta flick,will there be hope that God will let you repost your Two of a Kind review again?
Congrats on the IndieGoGo Brad!
why does this get a dvd release and not golden girl
10:31 He's got a FEVER, an d the only prescription is MORE COWBELL!
22:53 And I'm watching this show because you brought up this movie in your Endless Love review, which I watched after your Very Private Lesson Review. Do you have a playlist of these kinds of movies?
is that black & white photo an autograph of Dean Martin Andy Garcia or Ricardo Montalbán
Someone’s said this before, but it honestly just feels like rule 63 versions of the same character for beards without directly asking
Any chance of you spotlighting "Roar" - the movie where the lions snacked on the actors?
Valdagast didn't he do that one already? Or am I thinking of someone else?
Google says nothing about it, but I suppose some things are hidden even from the One All-Seeing Eye. I have no memory of it, but I've been wrong before.
Didn't that movie take 10 years to make?
Nice twist ending haha. xD
When the director of this movie is well-known as Lilly Tomlin's comedy writer, don't expect this movie to be like Tomlin's comedy specials.
The director was also her girlfriend at the time and now wife.
I think that's why it's a "romantic drama" where you can't help but actively root for the two main characters to not be together.
Today I learned that Travolta and Tomlin were doppelgängers in the 70’s...
I forgot the punchline to the intro of this video and nearly choked.
Release this on LaserDisc.
And supet 8
only true afficionados of cinema snob watch the vids in 360 quality. Wonder if Lily is the reason Travolta turned to the cult that must not be mentioned.
Oh you mean *this comment has been claimed by the church of scamology*
Oh I thought it was the Cult of Trihardology. False alarm.
need to find this movie
Hey, Brad. Will you be re-uploading The Reviewers?
JayRam Boy, have I got some good news for you.
Quick, ask if he'll upload the older episodes of Brad Tries.
Professor Mystery only 3 hours later no less
Hey can you ask when the next tool album is coming out? just testing something
Does anyone know if he reviewed The Party at Kitty and Stud's a long time ago, or did I imagine that?
Ah pre HD video Snob.
Lol apparently the montage music that plays when they go looking for Strip was written by Ray Parker Jr. of Ghostbusters theme song fame
God Brad used to have Klaus Nomi hair it's messing me up
camelpimp Now that's an obscure reference.
I had never actually seen the artwork for this one either.
Neat!
TBH I didn't know this movie even existed... I doubt I'm alone.
When they make moment by moment 2 just remember Springfield Herald does,nt hire Pink One'$ overdoSer mister Snob of 75 Saigon Cinema🇱🇷
You know what movie this reminds me of? Ashton Kutcher in "Spread" (they glossed over how Travolta's character paid the rent in this movie)... I don't know if Cinema Snob wants to torture himself with reviewing "Spread" though.
...was Netflix still sending DVDs in 2013?
They were until Sept. of 2023.
Laura angrily seeths at the intro
Why didn’t they just call this movie The Closet
23:33 "VILE FUCKING WOMAN!!!"
BEST line of the review!
they do look like mother and son
Disappointed by the lack of Miss Frizzle jokes.
Jeez, if it wasn't for the occasional presence of other people, you'd think this had as much actors as "Hell in the Pacific" did.
Isnt this the one that won the poll ?
Snob upload 8 minutes ago...! comments 22 minutes ago, HOW!?
Guts Puck youtube notifications. YAY!
