    I love these guys. I remember their show very well. They are enjoyable to watch. A great duo. In re-watching the show decades later, I appreciate them all the more. Much love and respect for these two professionals. 💗

      Ransom is great with a truly sinister Gary Sinise. Set it Off, I'm sure is great and has been on my watchlist for about a decade so I actually need to watch it at some point.

    "Mad Dog Time starts out with the information that it takes place in a parallel world on the other side of the universe. That's not far enough away for me."
    Perfect review. That's all you really need to know, isn't it?

    Ransom is a decent film but the 1950s counterpart is superior is because you never see the kidnappers and a result, the viewer feels the agony of what the parents are going through.

    I think Ebert was wrong to reveal Sinese was part of the kidnapping crew. That reveal doesn't happen until well after the abduction. I recall the gasps from the audience when they realized he was a partner in the scheme. This review ruined it for anyone watching the show before the movie.

    • @ragingbull2271
      @ragingbull2271 Před 2 lety +3

      I was thinking the same thing. The audience, including myself and my family, were all surprised to find out Sinise was the mastermind. Mostly because he had never played a villain before and also because the trailers did a great job of not showing Sinise much.

    @JunebugPresents Před 3 lety +3

    I'm in the middle about Set It Off. They are both right, Siskel on its lack of plausibility and Ebert on the empathic characters. It was okay, something I can still enjoy regardless.

    This review actually inspired me to watch MAD DOG TIME on Tubi a few months ago when I had some free time. I wanted to see if it was as bad as S&E said. It was. It's an absolutely awful movie that doesn't work on any level and has nothing of value in it.
