My brother and I were in the audience for this show's taping at the Disney MGM Studios... I always remembered the moment when Ebert referred to the song from Home Alone as "that awful dirge"... and the entire audience turned on him (25:45 - 26:45) with groans and boos! Being big John Williams fans, my brother and I were booing right along with everyone else! And the feedback from the crowd was MUCH MORE than just the one woman that they showed on the broadcast... It was obviously cut down for time, but MANY people rebutted the comments from S&E about the song... Obviously, my brother and I weren't the ONLY John Williams fans in the audience!... We just watched this video together, and it brought back all of those amusing memories... It was fun seeing S&E live... They were quite an act!

What a time, where people would attend a show or watch a show on television with two critics talking about their picks for the Oscar’s. jealous of all the people who lived through those better times.

This is so wholesome  :)  America used to do this kind of thing so well. I don't think the UK has ever been able to pull this kind of thing off.

Goodfellas is the GOAT movie

Ha ha, that intro is great!  

Also, at 12:12 there’s Roger’s soon-to-be-wife Chaz.

I miss these two so much and agree with Roger about Ghost (a good film but not worthy of a best picture nomination). I also think Glenn Close and Ron Silver deserved nominations for Reversal of Fortune as well as the film itself.

this is spot on, with everything they say...

They actually toned down the real guy that Pesci is playing. In real life he was built like an NFL linebacker and not just a psychopath but and absolute inhuman monster.

"Jeremy's iron"-Lisa Simpson

I have never watched many movies especially movies after 1980 but I always found time to watch Gene and Roger.

Misery is one of my favorite movies but once I saw The Grifters I realized how stiff the competition the acting was between the two.

Blaze of Glory was a badass tune!  

You know what they say Gene, if it's too loud, you're too old!

I think 1980 was the only other year where they agreed in every big category.

Ive thought for decades that Anjelica Huston deserved to win the oscar in 1990.  This video made me very happy!

Dances with Wolves, Dick Tracy, Ghost, Misery, Goodfellas, Total Recall and Reversal of Fortune were all took home an Academy Award in those categories while Havana, Days of Thunder, Postcards from the Edge, Home Alone, Young Guns 2, Awakenings, The Field, Wild at Heart, Mr. & Mrs. Bridge and The Godfather Part 3 were also Oscar nominated in those categories, but lost. Everybody did their very best, that's all.

17:20 my my Roger you knew too huh

Good stuff. Thanks.

Ghost is terrible

I really miss this show. Always looked forward to it.
Also, Ebert is wrong. The Home Alone song was spot on. Really pulled at my heart during the movie. Perfectly timed.
