I can honestly say they were a reason I like movies. It was also eye opening all the movies that were out there that you never saw a TV advertisement for they would review.

Ebert was consistently good about action and adventure, but terrible for comedy. The opposite for gene.

Dudes tried to diss Aliens. Movie was way too much for them back then.

Ebert used to be the only reviewer who's opinion i cared about for movie. I especially like his comic book movie reviews because he would actually research the source material and include that angle in his reviews. I basically knew if he liked or didn't like a movie i would probably come to the same conclusion. Everyone else seems to go by popular opinion, or try to get views by giving hot takes.

Siskel was one of the few critics that gave The Silence of the Lambs a thumbs down. I mean.. it's his opinion and all but still...

Was the show in syndication or PBS?
I remember them scheduling the show all over the place.
One day I'll watch its on early in the morning. The next day its on late in the afternoon

It was in like a local station WPIX or the local Fox station or something. I think it came on like Saturdays at 6 or 7 PM and they would rerun it Sunday at noon.

The most important movie they ever supported was Hoop Dreams. I remember Ebert being very passionate about the movie.

Yeah Hoop Dreams was made in Chicago which was the home base of Siskel & Ebert. Ebert had a black wife as well
