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. - ตลก

I'm surprised it's taken Craig this long to swear at Matt for a movie selection.
Some of these transitions to the old leather couch are the best. Others are the Zabriskie Point transitions
Matt looks like Orson Welles
Both from wiscansin
Matt looks like the clone of Orson Welles mixed with Kiefer Sutherland.
You should watch Heavy Metal for Cartoon June. It's a... unique experience.
They referenced my suggestion for Amadeus! I'm so happy!
I saw Zabriskie Point in 1970 as a teenager and had no idea what was going on until everything blew up - still one of my favourites - the music, cinematography & me & Daria in the car together driving across the desert in spite of a perilous future & devastating reviews..
For cartoon June you should definitely watch "The Secret of NIMH" based off of the great book "Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH" with a great cast of actors for the voices everyone from Derek Jacobi to Dom DeLuise.
i was about to say the same thing! and the music is by Jerry Goldsmith who really set a standard for music in animated films that weren't musicals (like Disney) by using long and extended musical themes, as well as the addition of a wordless choir. Goldsmith also wrote the music to Logan's Run, and the main theme song is by Paul Williams (from Phantom of the Paradise). lots of crossovers with this show!
Cool! Didn't know that, great cross overs.
i feel like they've mentioned it before
@16:11 Matt's talking about an interview: It can be searched on TH-cam as "Mark Frechette & Daria Halprin from ZABRISKIE POINT" by a channel called cavettbiter.
You are welcome.
I really hope Grace Zabriskie gets into the Hall of Fame this year. She was in all the movies that Udo Kier was in season 2, you've named a term describing this phenomenon using her name and you've watched Zabriskie Point for the show.
I like the soundtrack and the sequence of everything exploding
Two animated movies for June: Fritz the Cat deleted scenes and an episode where Craig and Matt just stare blankly into the camera lens and cry.
Seen it? Hudson Hawk (1991) - Bruce Willis and Danny Aiello play immortal felons on a ridiculous quest for coffee. All nostalgia, no seriousness. Would love to see it on the show!
Not coffee... a cappuccino.
Watership Down.
Wizards so that you can talk about Ralph Bakshi again.
Please let one of those animated movies be Heavy Metal... I want that hot Loc Nar action!
Have you seen Ladies and Gentlemen, The Fabulous Stains? It's super underrated, but it foresaw a massive movement in music that was yet to come when it was released.
I really like the way you guys analyse a movie, even though you didn't enyojed the movie in itself, very respectful, you never Just dismiss a movie, I find It very refreshing :)
This might be the worst movie you guys have watched on the show. Thanks for making it entertaining.
Laputa: Castle in the Sky
I'm guessing one of the cartoons will be Aardman's Pirates: Band of Misfits, because why not!
I didn't realize who Antonioni was until you mentioned Blow Up. Could definitely see him writing this movie, but it really is pretty disappointing.
I really like movies where nothing much happens and yet they manage to engage you and bring out something from you instead of overwhelming you with everything. But in this movie it looks like nothing much happens, period. Oh well you can't be brilliant all the time.
I was hoping that every time Daria exclaims "That's the point!" They'd say, "ZABRISKIE Point!"
For cartoon June, if you haven't already seen it, you should definitely check out Coraline. It's my favourite animated movie, and in my opinion, a rare example of a film adaptation that exceeds its source material. Additionally, you've yet to watch a stop-motion film on the show, so this would also satisfy that gap. Seriously guys, Coraline is pure magic.
More like Zabriskie Pointless
a TON of laughs in the episode and you did a wonderful job of creating entertainment from a very crappy movie. :) cheers!
Thanks guys! Another great episode!
Hey guys, just thought I'd let you know that the Wampa attack on Hoth that you mentioned actually did make it into production but was cut from the film entirely. I've actually seen the deleted scene somewhere here on TH-cam.
so excited for cartoon june!!! can't wait to see what you guys will be watching :)
Craig mentioning the Sterling Hall bombing really made me miss the Radical Rye on State St.
God. Their chicken sandwich alone should have garnered a presidential pardon.
The only part of this movie that needs to be seen is the ending with the house exploding over and over and over, followed by a music video as lots of other things blow up.
Man I hope they watch Kimi No Na Wa or 5 centimeters per second.
I usually like seeing directors, from other cultures, make a movie that are steep in American culture. I always imagine how excited they are to capture all the romance of it all.
Such as:
Wim Wenders, Paris, Tx
Jacques Audiard, The Sister Brothers
Wong Kar Wai, My Blueberry Nights
Ang Lee, Brokeback Mountain
Maybe for Cartoon June you guys could check out The Pagemaster? It stars Macaulay Culkin, Sir Patrick Stuart, Whoopi Goldberg, Frank Welker, and Christopher Lloyd. It also features Leonard Nimoy, Jim Cummings, and Ed Begley Jr. The beginning and end of the movie are live action, but it is mostly animated. I loved this movie as a kid, but I don't know how well it holds up. The first time I saw it I made my mom take me to get a library card and we started going there almost everyday after school.
I recommend the following films for Cartoon June: Paprika, The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, Summer Wars, The Thief and the Cobbler, When the Wind Blows, Castle in the Sky, Perfect Blue, Tokyo Godfathers, Chico & Rita and Melody Time.
Considering what an unrivalled masterpiece _Blow Up_ was, the epic fail that overarches this film can only be attributed to too much soundtrack. Truly, all you need is Herbie.
And the Yardbirds, who are good enough to distract an amateur sleuth.
Great Episode! Cartoon June?! I'm so excited!
I'll guess- 'The Secret of Nimh' aaaaaaand 'Heavy Metal' ;)
It's a good stupid movie, and the ending blow my mind. The movie is still worthwhile in 2021, Thumbs up!
Two cartoon movies? Ralph Bakshi's "Lord of the Rings" and Don Bluth's "Secret of NIMH"
Animated films are great. Some I recommend are The Tale of Princess Kaguya, ParaNorman, Coraline, Kubo and the Two Strings, Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within, and one of my personal favorites, Ghost in the Shell.
Some scenes reminded me the video for Samshing Pumpkins Today.
that was the greatest day I've ever known
When Craig says "But unlike you guys, we're eventually gonna vote Republican" all I can think of is how one of the prominent Black Panther Party leaders Eldridge Cleaver became a Republican and Reagan supporter in the 80s. The 70s and 80s sure had a way of changing those 60s revolutionaries.
Oh man, for Cartoon June I would love to see you guys tackle South Park: Bigger, Longer, Uncut. It's... well it's South Park but I think the two of you could give it a proper riffing.
I'm hoping for "The Secret of NIMH", and "Ninja Scroll". But I'll accept either of the "Vampire Hunter D" movies.
Thanks for the excellent show.
Have you seen Allegro non Troppo? Its a French Fantasia from the 1970s with great animation, music and humor.
animated june : any chance you ll review any satoshi kon movie ? like Perfect Blue, Millenium Actress, Paprica (waaaaaaaaay better than Inception) or Tokyo Godfathers ?
'Blow Up' is the movie that got me into photography!
You should do Yellow Submarine for June. It blew my eight-year-old mind.
YES! I am a GENIUS!
Cartoon june! I would love to see Suzumiya Haruhi no Shoushitsu (The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya) in the basement, but i think the chances are pretty slim. Also, it's a christmas movie. An animated slice-of-life sci-fi christmas movie. God, i love that film.
Funny you mention L'Aventura. I made a vid for my song using that self same film last week. Spooky.Waiting for Claudia on the Western Noir site.
that would be nice Chad Vader thing for him to have pet gargoyels
I hope one of the Cartoon June films will be Ralph Bakshi's classic, "Wizards". Magic vs. technology...let the battle begin !!
Animated films: Rock and Rule(Mok rules!!), Fire and Ice(Batman in a loin cloth), Fantastic Planet, American Pop(really any Ralph Bakshi films the dynamic duo probably overlooked), and Fantastic Animation Festival.
Also I know these two came of age in the last gasp of the VHS era, but I wonder if they know of any movies that are on VHS only that they haven't seen. Not sure if you can dig up a VHS player today to see them, but would be an interesting take on the show.
It's probably not good that I've been watching too much Twin Peaks & couldn't help thinking this had something to do with "Amazing Grace" Zabriskie (Sarah Palmer)
Haaave you seen Wolf Children? If not, you should check it out! It's just wonderful. Also, I don't know if stop-motion counts as cartoon but if you haven't seen it, watch Coraline!
Please matt and craig can you watch GHOST IN THE SHELL. Keeping in mind that the hollywood live action remake came out it would be really good to compare how you guys feel about remakes in general. Sorry for my english!
Michelangelo Antonioni? You made that up.
antonioni antonioni, give me the formuoli
I'm seriously hoping one of the animated movies is Fantastic Planet.
(I can't remember if that was mentioned on Seen It or not, but it's such a great movie.)
"So anyway... So anyway..."
"Line!"
Have you seen The Haunted World Of El Superbeasto? It's an animated comedy made by Rob Zombie.
I'm not sure if you've seen Ralph Bakshi's "War Wizards" yet. I'm pretty sure you guys have mentioned "American Pop" which is a shame that you wouldn't be able to go into the music for that one.
You should really look into more anime like "Ghost in the Shell" or "Perfect Blue" or "5 Centimeters per Second" or "Paprika" or "Your Name." There is a lot of high quality anime movies outside of just studio Ghibli (everything Miyazaki is amazing though).
I've finally caught up with this show! Since you've already seen multiple Beatles movies, how about watching Yellow Submarine?
Good call, sir
Medium Cool! watched that in film school like 2 years ago, there is nothing quite like it
Speaking of film school and Antonioni, seen it: Red Desert?
16:08 - "Died in a prison weightlifting accident" sounds a lot like "Murdered in prison, but we can't prove who did it"
i needed this video . i saw the movie and thought i was missing something . apparently there actually isn't much to this movie. maybe the dessert orgy , and mind explosion was because of some hidden artsy meaning...... guess not
You guys should watch Mary and Max for Cartoon June! I don't know if it counts because it's stop motion, but it's one of my favorite movies of all time.
Cartoon June will feature Mind Game (2004) and also Paprika (2006)!
I watched "Zabriskie Point" years ago for one reason only: Pink Floyd. And it was the best part of the movie. That and the cinematography.
Watching you guys struggle through this made me wonder: have you ever watched a movie that was so bad that you couldn't even finish it? One of mine that I remember particularly vividly was a french film called "À ma sœur!" that was basically just horror porn masquerading as a coming-of-age story. It is a movie with no redeeming qualities, and (even though I didn't even make it through the infamous final scene) it left a bad taste in my mouth for days.
5:45 1970s version of Zach Galifianakis.
If anyone looks back at the Scott of the Antarctic episode of Monty Python, there's a vignette called French Subtitled Film which I swear is a parody of this -- so this movie wound up doing some good in spite of itself after all.
I knew absolutely nothing about this movie past knowing the name but I thought it was a mountain climbing disaster movie or something lol.
this episode reminded me you should watch Les Chemins de Katmandou, people. sending love
School of Rock, seen it?
I tried watching the interview. I couldn't make it through. It was soooo brutal!
as long if its another Ralph Bakshi animated movie i am in... either that or Hayao Miyazaki
Have you guys seen the return of Twin Peaks? (It's awesome)
Great show ! Have you seen "City of God" ? Might be the best Brazilian movie ever make , we don't have many good ones anyways but ..lol
Wow, Zabriskie Point looks almost as bad as The Holy Mountain.
I know what I'm gonna watch when I need to sleep.
Gilbert Lewis 1971 movie "Friends". Have you seen it? It has a sloppy, early-70s feel to it like this one. But less revolution, more young love and a nice Elton John soundtrack. And more France.
For Cartoon June I hope you watch the Danish animated movie "Help, I'm a fish" that I know you got sent to you a few seasons back. It's a lot more suspenseful and raw than you would expect from the title!
Haven't watched yet but there better be a slew of Grace Zabriskie jokes
Obviously you're going to watch my favourite animated film of all time...The Brave Little Toaster, featuring the voice of Jon Lovitz and the music of Van Dyke Parks! It's all about feelings of obsolescence! A car facing its own mortality says 'There were bikinis and buns, there were weenies, Fellini just couldn't forget!' It's a lot of fun!
That just makes me want to watch DUCK SOUP. I know, I know..."Seen it".
Come onnnn I want to know what you think of Tommy (1975) and you did quadrophenia!
You guys should track down and read The Star Wars. It's a comic adapted from another draft of Star Wars, where chewbacca is a swamp monster, Vader is just a general, and the Jedi are called the Jedi Bendu. It's an intresting read, to say the least!
Check out the animation: Wizards. Or, Light Years.
Amadeus is so good they had it on Scene It twice!
When the movie finished, I said out loud, "Wait. That's IT?! ......That's all that happened?!" I'm sorry you guys had to go through that
Nice "Vacation" by the GoGos.
Seen the original "Vanishing Point"? I couldn't help but see the Jesus story throughout. No one else notices this. You?
So how'd you guys like Logan? If you haven't seen it, please do. It's an amazing quasi western superhero movie that's actually insanely stand-alone. Literally all you have to know when going is is who Logan is, who Xavier is, and that people don't like mutants, the previous movies are otherwise unnecessary. It's a beautiful and sad movie. If Jackman doesn't get an Oscar nomination for the movie then you know the people making that decision never saw the movie.
Animated movie I have been asking you guys to do since the first episode : Flight of Dragons !!!!
I haven't seen the movie. The scene at Z point reminds me of the end of Linklater's Boyhood. But then I thought the area looked a lot like JC Superstar. Like I said, haven't seen the movie but could it have been a life of Christ allegory?
I can you assure you, British people were already using the term 'Daddy issues' in the late 80s. Perhaps not commonly, but I first heard it when I was around seven or eight. I don't think it's at all anachronistic to have heard it, here, as early as 84.
Taking cartoons, I remember you doing anime before, so I'll suggest a couple of them. Both by Satoshi Kon. Perfect Blue, his very best film. And Tokyo Godfathers, which is his most approachable by far
Please watch a Satoshi Kon film for Cartoon June. I'd love to watch you guys flip heads.
Apologies for this stodgey comment but that is not really how the 'hail hail freedonia' song goes
Ok, not to be that guy but as a Phoenix resident this is NOT Phoenix landscape, this is desert California. I much prefer my Sonoran desert landscapes
Question for Craig - what's Lorenzo's head circumference? Asking for... head related reasons.
I don't know. Baby sized, I guess. It's pretty big, maybe, but it looks good on him.
Alrighty. I shall be consulting another baby sized head on this matter, let us hope that the details match.
Hey guys, haven't been here for a while because of college...so what did I miss?
They filmed some of the wampas' attack of the rebel base on hoth, but it looked too stupid. You can find the outtakes on TH-cam
Funny cause that's one of my favprite movies :)
