- Richard Roeper says goodbye to Ebert & Roeper (hastily retitled At the Movies With Ebert & Roeper a few months earlier). This was at the end of the final show but was not shown on initial airing (Aug 15/16 2008) but included when the show was rerun 2 weeks later. Taped Wednesday July 30, 2008.

Roeper was a great film critic. It took him a few years to get comfortable on screen (Siskel and Ebert were the same) but when he did he was a worthy addition to the show.
True. He did a good job as the years went by. I remember him in 2004 in the original review of White Chicks saying stuff Gene would've probably said.
He still is, if I'm looking for something recent on Rotten Tomatoes, I always make sure to try and find his review if he has one
We'll miss the three musketeers of movie reviews (Siskel, Ebert, and Roeper)!
At least we still have Richard Roeper with us.
I just wish that in this farewell you would see Roger coming on to say goodbye as well. I miss this show so much.
And that was the end of an era.
I liked him, too and I think his good-bye was heartfelt and classy.
So do i.
Yeah, he was happy to have done this show for 8 years. He didn't want to be involved in the changes in the show and he was smart to do that because it didn't work.
It was sad to see Richard leave and Roger not be there for the final show. The last shot of Richard saying goodbye with Michael watching is just like the last time we saw Roger in 2006.
Well There is now a show out called "Ebert Presents at the Movies" with two new critics. Roger Ebert is producer of it, and gives his reviews via computer voice, since his voice has been taken from him. The two critics still give "thumbs up/down" reviews and that is what gives the show its golden virtue.
Disney didn't cancel them. Richard Roeper decided not to renew his contract and left the show.
Richard Roeper was a great talk show host. At the Movies should’ve aired in Canada. I wish some American shows aired in Canada.
Thank you Richard!😊👍
wow I can't believe its over...I think Roeper and Michael Phillips should do the next show if there is one
And Both A.O. and Michael returned to "At the Movies" as they co-host together for the first time. Michael Phillips will co-host the show for the first time since the final "Ebert-&-Roeper-era" episode. Good luck, A.O. and Mike. We'll see you at the movies!
This was a great TV show
I'd love a Complete Series DVD box set of all the Ebert, Siskel, and Roeper reviews. And the in-between ones too of course. :)
Too bad they're probably be in legal limbo due to all the film footage they use in their show.
@@Bauglir100 I could see that, but with Disney owning most of the rights, it could released through ABC. Was that the channel it aired on?
@@zacharysiple629 I believe so. But they'd also have to make deals with MGM, Paramount, WB, various independent companies etc. too.
@@Bauglir100 Oh, true.
What a shame too. I’d love a box set as well. I remember Roger saying he was confident that the entire “Siskel & Ebert” show would be preserved for the rest of time. Now all we have are home tapings on VHS that fans upload here. I suppose he was sort of right.
thank you
Ebert & Roeper was the BEST movie review show ever, imo. It was an excellent balance. The Bens were the worst (particularly Lyons). I was OK with A.O and Phillips, but Ebert & Roeper will always be my favorite.
I love how he is sitting in a slouch 0:39 as he gives his heartfelt farewell.
How did you want him to sit?
On your face. Notice no one answers your pathetic calls for any attention here?
Sha11235 is either an elderly Jew or senile. No one else rehashes such worthless things from outdated shows. This is his life. If that were all, I wouldn't bother but he has the wrong info and will say anything to promote his poster monster, Ebert
This is a fantastic video with Richard roper in it and I think that's great he said goodbye to the show
Quentin Parhiala I agree with you
Well, he had to say goodbye to a job he loved doing. It was great to see him do this. I just wish Roger had been there too.
Roeper was great!
Yeah i agree. I think he looked up to Ebert a little too much, and didn't argue like a peer, but as a fan.
He will be missed.
Wtf happened to the comments here? Why are there a ton of comments just shitting on Ebert from a few years ago, while the comments posted earlier than that aren’t bad?
@@BackyardPix yeah i was gonna say... i hate reading aggressively hateful stuff... i should just stay out of yt comments section all together.
He insulted one of the jackass crew who died. So their fans hate Roger.
In an alternate universe, Roeper and Phillips is on every Sunday. (With A.O Scott as the fill in, of course)
I'm not American and i access the archive and watch the show online. I don't know if i will use the site anymore now that Ebert and Roeper have both left. I think i agreed with either of them like 90% of the time. It really sucks when they makes changes like these. O well, i hope they still write reviews as usual.
It aired the second time the show aired, in mid August 2008. The first time it didn't because they were showing repeats.
Exactly. And Roger could've come back with the thumbs and done segments. Well, Disney ended up cancelling the whole thing 2 years later.
I haven't watched since Roeper left. I tried the first episode with Ben Lyons and the other guy, and couldn't even finish it. I can't wait for what Richard is working on.
Leonard Maltin should’ve been on that show . Leonard knew Roger really well
Leonard was on Entertainment Tonight.
aw i wanna cry...i WILL cry...yes i will
I still think that if Michael Phillips or Wilmington took Roger’s place in 2006 as the permanent host, the show would have gone on a lot longer.
@NegativeNick Ebert became ill in July 2006 after his carotid artery burst after jaw cancer surgery. He was unable to speak, eat, or drink and although he tried reconstructive surgery to restore these things, it didn't work, so he was never able to return to Ebert and Roeper. He does appear on his new show, but only in segments.
I don't remember watching this... how the hell did I miss it?!?
It was during the summer of 2008.
I wish Roeper and Phillips stayed on the air
i missed this episode!!!!!!
.....Philips was starting to grow on me but oh well Roeper said on the Tonight Show he was working on something so i can't wait
Idiots at Disney fucked up. That's why the show bombed the next year.
Richard mentioned he was talking to new producers last summer. Nothing new yet.
Roger Ebert left the show when what was expected to be fairly simple cancer surgery left him unable to speak.
No one has ever asserted that the critics were ever pressured to give positive reviews to any movies so I don't know where you are getting that from but it's not true.
As for ad time for movies, that has nothing to do with quality of movies advertised. There's no such filter. Anyone can buy ad time. Half or so of the ad time was actually sold by the local stations, not the studio.
i hear you brother!
First Richard Roeper left his own show, then Paul Newman died and now Toonami's gone as well. What's this world coming to?
This just sucks I really wanted to see Phillips take over Ebert's place.
TBH those two have such different view points that it makes it clear which side you should pick.
But it's not like Ebert won't be missed and I'm gonna have to agree with many that it's the end of an era.
Even though the Thumbs being removed was a sign of things to come, it has finally happened.
Either way I hope these two get a shot at their own critic show and that we'll see them again soon.
I wonder why roeper didn't keep the show going since ebert left it, even though he did when siskel passed away.
Ebert never left the show. He was still involved behind the scenes. What happened was Disney wanted to change the show and Richard didn't like that. His contract was up and he decided to leave and Roger left too.
Then Ben Lyons & Ben Mankiewicz came in 3 weeks later.... Yay!
@@brianrose8772 And that was the end of that shit. I knew it wouldn't work. It's like when they moved Mad to the west coast ten years later and it bombed. People never listen to my ass.
I like Gene Siskel too but the best Movie Critic ever in my point of view is Roger Ebert he is so nice and kind to Kids Movies. In fact Roger Ebert is the Movie Critc who inspired me to become an inspiring Movie Crtic myself.
I really Miss At the Movies with Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert it was Fun.
@toaker I'm not sure. I thought maybe the show wouldn't work without Gene, but Richard did save it.
You know, boycotting Disney isn't going to be that hard. The stuff they produce these days is so soulless and painful to watch, I was kind of avoiding it anyway.
The Movie-Critic Shows Are A Thing Of The Past Now. And When You Really Think About It Does Anybody Really Miss Them?
It’s true that when those shows started trailers and clips were not so easily seen like they are now. And anyone can post their own reviews. But I think I’d still watch a show offering intelligent reviews if there was decent chemistry between the critics. The love / hate relationship between Gene and Roger, which was real, not an act, was what no one else has been able to duplicate.
yeah, id like to see roeper and phillips back. phillips may be a downer and harsh on most movies, but he's very analyical and intelligent, and roeper may be too much of a fanboy sometimes, but hes energetic and has brains as well. and phillips and roeper had good chemistry and were fun to watch.
If you don't know Ebert's history, fanboys, look it up. He was tawdry shit
I miss this show...it should've been called "Roeper & Phillips" once Ebert couldn't be back on anymore...DAMN YOU DISNEY!!!!
A.O. Scott and Michael Phillips will be hosting at the movies, thanks God.
They announced that A.O. Scott and Michael Phillips will be taking over in September 2009 and the Bens are out of here.
At least Roeper and this guy are way better than the Bens are now.
@highwings89 Apparently Ebert is producing a new show with new hosts. I don't think Roeper is involved but you never know
The biggest fault is Roger Ebert never got any send off whatsoever. The era of Siskel & Ebert ended and no one knew it.
He can't but maybe he's producing the show, I don't know. But it was posted on his blog for months that there would be a new film critique show and he would be apart of it.
Yeah, I stopped watching when the two Ben's (especially Lyons) hosted and came back when Scott and Phillips were named the host. But by the time Scott and Phillips came, the show was a shell of itself. The balcony set was gone and they weren't allowed to do the distinctive "thumbs up/thumbs down" rating system.
That's what I did.
It's the end of an era. Nothing will compare to the Siskel and Ebert that had such great chemistry together and such memorable arguements. And with Ebert and Roeper it continued the tradition well. Now it's dead with the two Ben's who aren't very interesting nor have much inciteful about film.
I miss this show!
Parker Pshebnisky i miss the original Ebert and Roeper episodes even more
@@stefantomasi4036 Go on siskelandebert.org. There are episodes there with Richard. He was good with Roger.
@@sha11235 I have been going on siskelebert.org but sadly, there are no new titles uploaded every month :(
I kindly thank you for your help though. However, I still hope for more reviews I haven’t seen (yet)
@@stefantomasi4036 There should be a bunch up there, maybe not as much as the Siskel and Ebert ones, but there are some.
That is exactly what was wrong with the revamped show. They should've left well enough alone but nooooo.......
Do you ever wonder why you have no life?
@@bloboshitful I have a life. I don't know about your sorry ass.
first of all I wouldn't consider Spiderman 3 a "kids movie"....and i know this is hard to believe....but the majority of kids movies with some awesome exceptions are usually just made for a quick buck with qualty suffering in the process....hell Roger Ebert doesn't always defend kids movies for example he didn't like Monsters vs. Aliens and G-Force....and alot of other ones :/
A.O. Scott and Michael Phillips were always the best of the new guest critics.....E entertainment my ass....we want the more mature kind of review....i might start watching this again now.
Epic critics the best
In a twist of fate, the show went downhill after Roeper left.
A 43 year run
It really sucks that Roeper and Phillips left since I started watching At the Movies since I was a kid with Ebert and Roeper. Now, At the Movies is beyond unwatchable! Ben Lyons makes my ears bleed and the new format is beyond cheesy. I heard that Roeper and Ebert might create a new film critic series together, hope it's true, I have my fingers crossed! :)
@LordoftheJimmy yeah no one can replace Siskel, not even Ebert either, guess it ok to see this great show end, its about time
I am so glad Richard Roeper Bid Farewell to Ebert and Roeper. He sucked at reviewing movies on Ebert and Roeper.
*sigh* Shame to see a great show go away.
If ain't broke, don't fix it.
it's funny how everybody hated the Bens...I'm sure who ever got the idea of getting 2 young hipper critics for the At the Movies got fired too.
Actually he left because he didnt like the new direction the show was going.
What's the new show called? I thought Roeper was still doing it?
Phillips is the guy sitting right next to roeper
Ironically he has Gene Siskel's old job at the Tribune.
The show was over the day Gene Siskel died.
what was roepers last televised review?
On this show it was Fly Me to the Moon.
The Sun Times they worked at, not the Tribune.
@TheWorldisYours21 yeah but I think both are more likeSkeptical critics at heart,likeSiskel,the critics that give the movie structure,the opinons might of been uneven if they continued theshow.There wasn't the caringlike soul critic,role taken byEbert,if they someone at least at least similar,it might of worked.PlusEbert never died.It was kinda weird to seeRoeper take up that caring role,Ebert can be cruel,Roeper could really give it.I think thats one of the reasons why they discontined it
I need more Roeper movie reviews in my life. the new ATM is horrifically bland
Yeah his leaving kind of left me stunned. Like watching Boondock Saints at the scene where the cat gets shot.
Could his relationship to Ebert have been a cause?
He left the show because Disney wanted to revamp it in a way he didn't think would work and his contract was up at the time and they couldn't come to an agreement on that. It had nothing to do with Roger no longer being able to do the show. In fact, he left along with Richard.
@@sha11235 Holy fuck dude. You just replied to a 10 year old comment
@@eirvine So fuckin' what? I'm not allowed to?
@lenzino7383 First of all, At the Movies has new hosts now - Phillips and A.O. Scott and while they aren't nearly as good as Gene and Ebert or Roeper and Ebert, they are light years away from those terrible Bens. Second of all, the show just got cancelled and the current season, ending in august, will be the last. Third, Ebert said he is working on a new show. Like you said, keep them fingers crossed.
Why do you say Roeper & Ebert first and then say Gene and Roger? Say Siskel & Ebert!!
Honestly I rarely watched either version and have no idea when the heck it's on anyways.
Not sure I remember Roeper leaving the show years before Ebert died?
Yes, Roeper & Phillips left “At the Movies” as the show was by then known in 2008. The show continued with the two Bens. Then Phillips returned with NY Times critic A.O. Scott for one season before Disney killed it entirely.
Roger & Chaz Ebert produced a version which ran on PBS for a season.
Roger died in spring 2013.
WHY THE **** DID DISNEY CANCEL THEM!
I heard Rumors that Richard Rooper has moved to Hollywood. He might work with Lenard Malton.
what was roepers last review?
On here? Fly Me to the Moon.
this is sad, i enjoyed this show, now its gone. now we just got those two bens who got picked just becuz they just so happened to review films, and have the name ben. that show is disapointing.
A farewell to kings.
The universe will never be the same again.
I wish Richard Roeper and Michael Philips would continue the show. Those two are great together. At The Movies has always been great up until now. To be honest, I think Ben Mankiewicz would make an OK guest critic for like once every 10 shows. However, Ben Lyons is just terrible.
no i love this show, it was a great show. COME BACK TO US MR ROEPER AND MAYBE OCCISIONAL EBERT. I hate the new guys
What the hell is Phillips and Scott?
It was Siskel that worked at the tribune, Wasn't it?
Yes, so Michael Phillips now has Gene's old job.
And both Roger Ebert & Richard Roeper worked at the Sun-Times.
What happened to the skinny and fat guy duo ?
This was a great show.. They should've kept Rex Reed as a replacement for Siskel though lol what a Hollywood snob (very entertaining)
@He wasn't fired. What happened was, Richard's contract was up and he wasn't able to come up to an agreement on a new one, plus Disney wanted to revamp the show and Richard didn't think that would work, so he left and so did Roger, taking the thumbs with him.
That sucks
@@stefantomasi4036 It sure did. And the replacements bombed, as I predicted. Why do uncle fuckers feel they have to revamp things? It's like with Mad going to Burbank. Same shit.
@@sha11235 I disliked the two Bens completely. They did such a terrible job with the new show segment 👎
@123rockfan with a book title "YOUR MOVIE SUCKS", yeah, that's harsh, and he didn't have a problem being thought that, I guess :)
wikipedia org wiki Roger_Ebert#Bibliography -- a few others of his books had harsh titles ;)
@lenzino7383 Sadly, it won't happen now
I remember watching for this farewell-and saw that episode that last weekend there mid-August, but not seeing him give the farewell. It's nice that they finally let him show it a couple weeks later. I personally thought these two were a good team and that they should have kept it going. The new show, from what little I've seen-sucks.
He didn't give the farewell the first time it aired because they were going to show a repeat the next week. After this week, he would no longer be on the show so they put the farewell in here. And I do wish they had kept Richard and Michael. They did work well together and remember, they were both from the opposing papers Gene and Roger were a part of.
"I was all wet on the Lord of the Rings"?... Doesn't that sound.... awkward?
No.
What does that even mean?
why is he leaving
ancestron Disney Wanted To Change The Show, and Richard Roeper didn’t like that. So he left... then Lyons & Mankiewicz took over for a year. And Phillips & Scott The next year.... and 5 months after that for a whole year: Lemire & Vishnivetsky.
Brian Rose I wasn’t a big fan of the other At the Movies segments after Richard Roeper left
Well what do you expect? They're Disney! Aargh! And this show was so good the way it was before the 'Ben's' took over! Without Ebert or Roeper guiding the show, all you have now is a show that's more stale than Bean dip that's been sitting out for a few days.
