Gaslight | Welcome To The Basement

[@marshalldowning7611]

Central Command would like a word…

[@Hedgpig]

You guys already watched this movie on Welcome to the Basement

[@morwennaforatenner604]

Yeah. I'm surprised they don't remember

[@mergus]

What's up with that? Get it together, Matt.

[@stevef4010]

Ok, I thought so too. This is where I first heard of it. Or will they try to gaslight us and deny?

[@Chris_Blaze94]

They definitely did

[@LarryPokeTrainer]

see, i totally knew I remembered them watching this before

[@moon_shoes]

I remember one halloween night when I was around 10 my grandmother and I were watching old spooky movies on TCM. Midnight Lace, Gaslight, The Haunting, and The Omen. Such a great memory

[@TheDapperMan]

Sounds grand!

[@TroubleToby3040]

Love this memory, and great selection of films but... How LONG were you watching that night?🤷‍♂️😉👍

[@mereth13]

Matt's "no diggy, no doubt" comment had me doubled over in laughter.

[@toyfreaks]

Gaslight was the first DVD I ever bought back in the early 2000's. I had never heard of the movie and the word had not yet gained it's contemporary meme status. I found in it the Target discount bin for 99 cents and couldn't believe an Ingrid Bergman movie could reach such a low estate! I though it must have been really terrible but ended up loving it. Whenever my girlfriend at the time would ask if I had seen a thing she had misplaced, I would affect Boyer's accent and ask "What do you mean, Paula?" I was not at all surprised to see the term come into vogue and was excited that something obscure enough to be in the dollar bin could rocket to universal popularity as the shorthand for a rather complex idea. I wish everybody who uses the word would watch this movie!

[@CaptChrispy]

You should have walked out with the dvd and, if they stopped you, say "What do you mean? I payed you!"

[@toyfreaks]

@@CaptChrispy Nice!

[@TitaniumSeraph]

The comment about Italians being good at comedy makes sense. Italian theatre has a long and strong clowning tradition. Very physical and character based. The way Japanese Kabuki has specific archetypes; so does Italian clowning.✨

[@chipmunck98kid]

Best gosh darned series on the web

[@steviea427]

Hear Hear!!!

[@superjules]

I was surprised watching early episodes of MASH from the early '70s. Col. Blake uses the phrase "Are you Gaslighting me?!?" a few times. That phrase must have fell in and out of currency.

[@seanhenry2921]

That episode was lit, as the kids say.

[@lyricsfromsweden]

It felt really comfortable hearing you guys talking about The Mighty Boosh and those guys since it's so near and dear to me and nobody else in my general surrounding will. Also, very funny episode.

[@NerdOutWithMe]

Same. I love when they bring up The Boosh. (I'm old Gregg!!!)

[@HalloweenR5]

You mentioned my donation and comment again! Also, Matt, I noticed your chuckle when reading the names of my dog and cat. As an audiophile, I'm going to assume that the cause was my explanation of how to pronounce my cat's name, Beatsie, and its origins. Of course you know, but I looked it up for myself again, and it is from "The Biz vs. The Nuge" on Check Your Head. Once the idea is in your head, you can never not here Biz Markie say Beatsie Boys instead of Beastie Boys

[@benpat100]

Watched Gaslight tonight, a real treat! Great way to escape for 2 hours in 1944.

[@sloth0jr]

I'm with you, Craig, on Moonstruck. The essence of the movie for me is the breakfast in the final scene. Something so warm about that family.

[@PokerJoker811]

15:20 You know, I disagree with that assessment. Because the watch was sort of the clincher. He started with small things - losing the brooch, seeing the gaslight, hearing the noises. He started small to establish a pattern, so when he wanted to deprive her of this thing that brought her joy, really seal the deal and get total control of both her and the house, he could say "Oh, you didn't take my watch, huh? Just like you didn't take the picture off the wall *three times*, right?"

[@seanknowles4102]

Yesssss We got a clever "Faster!" !!! Jokes were great this episode!! Thanks!!!!!

[@bradforddillman7671]

Great to see you picked one of my all-time favorites! Origins of Pepe Le Pew here. Seriously.

[@mari88334]

6:37 Craig,, Enunciatee!! BROOOCH.. 😂🙃😁😆😘

[@vandjack17]

They already effectively remade Gaslight - the excellent The Invisible Man 2020

[@PixieLovesItAll]

This is an older comment but I have to reply and say I agree! TIM 2020 is a near-perfect movie.

[@PoseidonXIII]

I love Moonstruck too! It really highlighted how messy and inconvenient love often is.

[@TheSomethingOfBoris]

At 13:28 Gregory sounds like Dr. Ruth in Scanners - though maybe not as mumbly

[@nevet1212]

Wonderful video as always. I hope my package is on the unboxing block for next weeks show!

[@CaptChrispy]

14:00 Haha! That's just what I was thinking! "...and not in a good way!"

[@danielweingarten9554]

gold as always

[@mason103]

"Seen it" is actually grammatically correct, as you are describing movies which you have seen. For past experiences, English uses the present perfect (we have seen) rather than the past simple (we saw)

[@sloth0jr]

This movie seems so disturbing because it seems so plausibly believable. ... or does it?

[@cristinamashayekh7431]

_sees The Crazy World of Arthur Brown album in the background_ I see you two keep being men of culture.

[@DaddyDaughterMovieNight]

Matt's "old man" Cotton, spot on!

[@ChipWhitingtonIII]

"Shrimp Diaz".......... gold.

[@toddevangelista]

Enunciate, Mr. Bane!

[@CaptChrispy]

7:48 "...With my Dickie biscuits in my hand."

[@cowpercoles1194]

Ryan Johnson already remade Gaslight -- paraphrasing his press junkets: "The Last Jedi is a traditional Star Wars movie."

[@AndrewMartinIsHere]

🤣🤣🤣

[@DamienDespair]

So what is the next step in getting the amazing multi-talented Angela Lansbury into your little Hall of Fame? You already have "The Last Unicorn". "Bed Knobs and Broomsticks": seen it? "Sweeney Todd" (no not the Depp one): seen it? "The Manchurian Candidate", "Blue Hawaii", freaking "The Pirates of Penzance"? GENTLEMEN have you SEEN IT?

“I am gonna go to town on your balls.” -Matt 2020

[@graemesmith6721]

Dame May Whitty (Mrs. Thwist) also played Miss Froy, the titular lady in Alfred Hitchcock's 1938 suspense classic "The Lady Vanishes." In that movie, she is also traveling on a train, but (you guessed it) she VANISHES! And when the young woman she was traveling with tries to find her, everyone denies she was ever there. Sound familiar? May, you should stay away from trains. Bad things happen to you on trains.

[@toric6005]

In my HS drama class if you didn’t enunciate it was called being attacked by the ee-new monster.

[@matthewgoldmann7650]

Instant click. Also, have you two seen El Dorado, Hawks' remake of Rio Bravo? I just saw both, and it really shows how good Rio Bravo is. It was really interesting and valuable comparing the two movies because they are so similar. Just my two cents.

[@GreatWightSpark]

interesting concept would be to gaslight the audience. They should get a performer like Derren Brown to direct it.

[@zebuldevil5499]

Just saw Little Nicky for the first time in like 12 years. Seen it?

[@HankCarver]

Just watched it again tonight after about as many years

[@Ayanami0001]

"Jewels will Sayee Ayve your soul"

[@stevnated]

Hey, how does it feel when your state gets sued by Texas and 18 or so other states? As a person from Georgia, I totally feel ganged up on.

[@craigjohnson6423]

You mean how some indicted AG in some far away state incited a judicial riot to steal my vote and subvert Democracy, the very thing that America holds most dear. Well, I'm used to it by now.

[@eddiet1237]

Have you seen the problem child films I feel like so many people don’t know about them what about you

[@LarryPokeTrainer]

that beautiful album cover behind craig, what album is it?

[@blamesocietyfilms]

The Crazy World of Arthur Brown

[@KYMERAKITTEN]

I love the 1940 Gaslight, Frank Pettingell is a charming nosy policeman and I feel like Diana Wynyard is a bit more believable.

[@TheDapperMan]

Agreed!

[@AndrewMartinIsHere]

Looks like a claustrophobic film, sometimes that works with suspense.... but... well. I agree about Italian actors, but they do have a long history of Commedia del’arte behind them, so maybe it’s genetically ingrained 🤣

[@cjensen486]

I've "seen it". I think the segment is fine.

[@Karthonic]

You know what movie I always equate to gaslighting? The Screaming Skull. Weird, right?

[@chadbrow]

Please go back to remote episodes.

[@OneUponADime]

To Wong Foo, SAW IT??

[@procrastinator99]

1:04 THAT’S WHAT SHE SAID

[@JaredOnYT]

The diggy biscuits lady has a surname that i think defies pronunciation. I keep listening to it and just can't figure it out

[@mcdamnhot3479]

I think it’s Thwaites - your guess is as good as mine though

[@BeccaAnnJordan]

My partner has introduced me to Welcome to the Basement through this pandemic. It's now our nighttime ritual. I have been introduced to so many amazing movies through this show! Have you guys seen Darby O'Gill and the Little People? Sean Connery as a young man, mischievous leprechauns, and Death Incarnate. Weird vibes. What are your thoughts?

[@gbeaudette]

I'm a big fan of this movie, but unfortunately I had the surprise of seeing it on the show spoiled by Letterboxd of all places. One thing I realized is that you can't really have the tension of "will the bad guy get caught?" since it's a movie from the 40's. But since it's a movie from the 40's you instead have the tension of "will the woman have any agency in the catching of the bad guy?"

[@snooze0023]

You sound like actors from a christopher nolan movie.

[@CaptChrispy]

9:25 Matthew 5:33-37

[@stevef4010]

annunciation is hard work. I suck at it too

[@MrJuliangross]

A white elephant is a gift that is given to someone but is also a a bad thing. Something that is not worth keeping around. Idk how or if this helps

[@robertodell9193]

A white elephant is a possession which its owner cannot dispose of and whose cost, particularly that of maintenance, is out of proportion to its usefulness. In modern usage, it is an object, building project, scheme, business venture, facility, etc., considered expensive but without use or value. -Courtesy of Wikipedia

[@MrJuliangross]

So what I said basically lol

[@eeeliz]

subtle nightmare reference

[@Wizard-in-a-Purple-Wizard-Hat]

Not even one scene of them huffing gas?

[@CaptIronfoundersson]

Just be happy you don't have to speak Gaelic. That's about as confusing as a language gets. This is the first line from one of my favorite Irish songs, the Mad Puck Goat. Ag gabháil dom sior chun Droichead Uí Mhóradha Pronounced roughly Egg-gwal dum sheer, kun drihead e-wora

[@gingerofthesketch]

grma !

[@sirretris]

To me the perfect person to remake Gaslight would be Jordan Peele, of being Chelsea Peretti's husband fame. He's shown that he has the chops with the movies he's made and Twilight Zone.

[@Fryinberg]

The Gods Must Be Crazy? Seen it?

[@tinita1919]

😌

[@thejackal007]

Great, now you have messed up Simon and Garfunkel for me. "Hello Gaslight, my old friend... LAVENDER..."

[@DeniseFaraday]

FOR...THE...LOVE...OF...GOD....FASTER!

[@CrazyKungfuGirl]

Shoulda been "flicker on over to the leather couch"

[@theantithesis1]

Looking up "Singing in the bathtub" was fruitless, no pun intended, in finding evidence of a gay code. I forgot about the song. 😖

[@rkgaustin]

#MyMouthNeedsaBreak

[@randomreviews4278]

Never heard of this movie

[@PokerJoker811]

The worst offender for unnecessary enunciation has to be Wheel of Fortune. Every contestant is clearly told, by the show, to pain-ful-ly e-nun-ci-ate e-ve-ry syll-a-ble of e-ve-ry an-swer. It makes people who aren't acting at all seem like they're extrenely bad actors.

[@hermes_job_observer144]

10:10: i have become woke.

[@alexanderforbes1452]

Careful not to John Oliver too often, Matt, you'll wreck your teeth.

[@celinhabr1]

Yeah, stopped at a new remake...no, thank you, and specially NO to that director.

[@ReaLMoisan]

Knives Out wasn't clever. It was full of contrivances and plot holes. This reminds me why I watch this show: to get a brief synopsis of movies I'll likely never watch (obviously I've seen some of them), and learn some interesting tidbits of information. I don't watch this show for the reviews, because if I wanted actual reviews, this isn't where I'd find concise, in depth, and objective analysis. Hugh guys (see what I did there) are entertaining and I enjoy both BlameSociety series on KZbin, but your reviews... yikes. Every time you get to the actual review and the seen it section, all I can think is: get Stuckmannized.

[@HankCarver]

Cool

[@mcdamnhot3479]

Well, smack my ass and call me Shrimp
