Episode description
“Once upon a time, if you wanted to know if a movie was worth seeing, you didn’t check out Rotten Tomatoes or IMDB. You asked whether Siskel & Ebert had given it Two Thumbs Up.”
MATT SINGER, the editor and critic at ScreenCrush and author of the bestselling “OPPOSABLE THUMBS: HOW SISKEL & EBERT CHANGED MOVIES FOREVER” joins Dan to discuss the lives of, arguably, the two most influential film critics of all time, as well as their on- and off-the-screen clashes and the influence they had on popular culture -- and on Matt and Dan personally.
With amazing clips from their shows and from many behind-the-scenes moments, this episode is a cinematic listening experience that just might be worthy of two thumbs up.
