Disco Godfather | Welcome To The Basement

[@pcwkid76]

Season 9. I was there from the start with the announcement video and NANOOK OF THE NORTH. Cats have come and gone. Craig's become a father. Matt even referenced SUPER SHOOTER once in a BlameSociety Meta moment. Best of all I somehow got FALLING into the Welcome to the Basement Hall of Fame. Here's to a great year, guys. (Thumb kiss)

[@doggybag71]

Ah, Super Shooter was a blast. I still say some one liners from Super Shooter when playing Counter-Strike Global Offensive.

[@nonspiderweb]

Can you use what ever miracle got falling into the Hall to get Stu his place? 2020! the YEAR OF STU!

[@SpuTalks]

Sorry but after this episode I can’t NOT read your name as “pcp kid 76”.

[@PokerJoker811]

I have never before seen a movie deliver an instruction, fail to follow its own instruction for nearly the entire movie, and then redeem itself at the last moment by actually following it. In the final scene, at the last possible opportunity, they finally attempted to put actual weight on it.

[@plmitch]

😆😆😆😆

[@josephmullan6931]

I'm 22 now. I remember a distinct time in my late teens, maybe 17/18 where I spent a summer watching your videos. Seeing people develop ideas about a movie beyond just describing it as just "good" or "bad" really was my first venture in film criticism and viewing the medium as art on the level of literature and music. God bless, and keep doing what you're doing so well.

[@tracesigns9933]

god, I started watching WttB when I was your age that feels...wholesome, somehow

[@themoviedealers]

Dam, that's only four years ago. I know that seems now like an entire epoch, but trust me, when you get older, that's like a month.

[@Ce13stialBunny]

This was my introduction to Rudy Ray Moore! I have all of his movies, fucking LOVE Dolemite.

[@stormcloudsabound]

Been having a bad time lately-this came at the perfect moment. Welcome back to everyone in the basement!

[@langleymneely]

AJ Hope things have improved!?

[@JS-uu1rz]

Hell yeah dude. Welcome back guys!

[@tecumsehcristero]

"Bucky gone Nucky" is the best quote from Mr. Johnson

[@Goldenspiderducck]

PG in the pre PG-13 world was a wild place. Anything short of Cannibal Holocaust or Behind the Green Door required only the slightest guidance from parentals. Beautiful time.

[@Gigglefists]

The Lighthouse was my favorite of the year Snubbed so hard

[@peanutbutteroven2660]

Ugh, mine toooo

[@Karthonic]

The moments when the cats make an abrupt appearance are the best. I wonder how many are sitting in unused footage.

[@ChipWhitingtonIII]

"You know......." *HARD CUT*

[@flavoredwallpaper]

Rudy is a goddamn legend.

[@chipmunck98kid]

Welcome back to the basement! The best show on the internet!

[@seanhenry2921]

Good to have you back, Matt, Craig, and Tona!

[@megalodonv2]

Another great episode! You guys have really made me appreciate film as an art and just something to watch! Thank you so much!

[@ThatJohnStanley]

[@tazmon122]

finally, a film that depicts what disco is like for the rest of us.

[@annadaavettila3236]

Wow, what a trip of a movie! So glad you're back guys, Fridays have been disappointing without you.

[@mattwstewart205]

My goodness it’s been too long fellas

[@CTN71]

I’ve been watching you guys since Chad Vader debuted in 2006 when I was 10 years old and hope to still be watching u in 2029. Never retire guys😊

[@gilrivera1813]

Welcome back guys, have you seen License To Kill? One of, if not the best Bond film. It's too bad Timothy Dalton only made 2 films in the series.

[@kayleen2946]

That was....I'm not sure, but I laughed at how awesomely bad it was😂

[@josephmullan6931]

Please never ever stop

[@seanknowles4102]

Oh my God! It's about time!! Thank you for coming back!!! I've missed you guys!! I'm so so so so happy now!

[@gydeme]

Hey let's go Season 9! I forget, did you guys talk about Parasite during an episode already? I'd love to hear your guys thoughts because I found the film to be excellently shot, acted and written while blending a bunch of genres with some social commentary. My favorite film from 2019 right now.

[@tecumsehcristero]

Rudy Ray Moore- "Angel Duss"

[@thelovelybones0521]

Oh this show makes me so happy 🤗

[@azulgaia7782]

Glad to have you back, Craig. Criminy, Mr. Crazy Clever Goodhair! Don't scare us like that!

[@JaredOnYT]

Been here since the Great Silence. Glad to be back!

[@LukeAurio]

Craig: Bucky Smoked..... Also Craig: *¡¡¿¡¿¡BuCkY sMoKeDddDdd!?!?!!*

[@annaheff7332]

Omg I finally got a seen it suggestion on the show, awesome! I love that Matt brought up the movement issue in The Irishman because that took me out of it as well.

[@GODLIEK]

You're back... Yeees! My missus and I can only rewatch the older episodes so many times before insanity sets in.

[@benpat100]

Parasite is a serrated blade. Just bouncing up a smooth side and fall right down the blade. Can't wait till next episode when you do a seen it for Parasite :3

[@4amstuckonearth]

I'm just watching the intro but smiling a mile wide because disco godfather is my all time favorite blacksplotation film of all time... you can put your weight on that.

[@Hannah-vh3tm]

Glad to have you guys back!! Great episode, as always!

[@massagebroad]

When he blew the cocaine on the floor, I screamed out loud!😂😰

[@fugithegreat]

The ratings system hadn't quite been ironed out yet during the 70s and 80s, so many films that would today have been rated PG PG 13 or R for language or frightening scenes just ended up as PG. It's interesting that this movie didn't get an R rating to begin with though, seeing as he was known for his profanity.

[@suedenim]

Apparently the movie was given a new theatrical release more recently with it's rating revised to R.

[@oaf-77]

PG meant, ‘don’t take your kids’ G meant good for everyone, but nothing gets a G anymore

[@chandlerrabatin9865]

Huzzah! Best part of the new year

[@curseyoujordanshow]

The problem with Oscar nominees is that they're always movies you've already seen variations of before a dozen times. Hollywood not only loves "movies about movies", but also movies that stick to a tried and true formula; anything straying too much from that formula is "too weird", as though automatically disqualifying it from serious consideration. Easily the most original movie I've seen in years was The Lighthouse, yet despite critical acclaim, all it gets is a single pity nomination for cinematography, which 1917 is a shoo-in for. I for one would have vastly more interest in watching an awards ceremony for the less mainstream stuff out there.

[@ef6712]

Welcome back! Looking forward to an epic season!

[@flahoo2807]

Have you guys seen ghost dog? Its one of my favorite films.

[@brookegriggs438]

Did y’all see Parasite?

[@michaelboyer7253]

Hell yeah, R.R.M

[@CheapRobot]

You shouldn't smoke pvc but you can use pvc to smoke pcp.

[@fugithegreat]

1917 was an amazing movie. It felt like I was watching a real-time walk through a nightmare. Not to mention the technical challlenges that were overcome to film it. Incredible!

[@DeniseFaraday]

Cecil is standing by to make sure Craig and Matt don't even dare to besmirch the good name of Rudy Ray Moore! ROFL

[@ThomasWilson4]

WHAT HAS HE HAD?!?

[@NerdOutWithMe]

They're back!

[@benpat100]

Disco godfather was meant to be enjoyed on PCP or Angel Dust.

[@langleymneely]

benthebarbarian WHAT HAS HE HAD!?!

[@peanutbutteroven2660]

Since Parasite won, I'd love to hear your thoughts on it. I thought it was quite good. Clever and engaging throughout.

[@langleymneely]

peanutbutteroven I love looking at videos like this after a beautiful upset like Parasite! Does my heart good. Lol

[@Quamikaze]

Hell friggin yes, love this movie

[@chumon1992]

I laughed outloud at Craig's reaction to the Skeleton XD so perfect I rewound like 3 times XD Also "were dealing with a *drog* that's beyond modern medicine" so let's use archaic electro shock therapy that does literally nothing for anyone! Makes sense.

[@chobitsai1]

hopefully there were will be many more seasons. yay!

[@JohnRazzle]

Seen It: Parasite? Far and away the best movie of 2019 and maybe one of the best of all time

[@tehhhhhd]

The beginning had crap writing and acting, but I loved the movie after that

[@langleymneely]

And surprisingly the Oscars agreed with you! lol

[@GoatHeadWalletProdt]

A few days ago, Kirk Douglas Past away at the golden age of 103. As a mini tribute I had to watch the first Kirk Douglas movie I’ve ever watched and still love to this day: Vikings (1958). Have you guys seen it?

[@redsands1001]

That song is in my head a lot. I hum it at work

[@LissaLo13]

Please talk about little women. If neither of you have seen it...I don’t even know what to think. I loved that movie so much.

[@rebekahyoder9335]

I want an episode of WTTB featuring Tona & Craig's wife discussing Little Women with the guys. That would be Amazing.

[@thatwildcard777]

I keep coming back to this because there is something weird with that ending. If you watch carefully you can see that another shot starts to fade in before it just hard cuts to the credits. I want to believe that something was cut at some point but so far I haven't found any mention of it online.

[@eliotmccann2589]

Yay! Welcome back!

[@Strawberryjasmindoll]

You're back!!

[@Kbarr54]

Yeah, season 9! I know you watched a couple of cycling movies on the show, but have you seen "Breaking Away"? I saw it in the theater as a kid, and it's the only time I've seen a movie get a standing ovation at the end.

[@doch1228]

Are you going to bring back Chad Vader, love that series. Glad to have you guys back in the BASEMENT, missed you guys a lot and hope you continue having more Basement segments.

[@gbeaudette]

Everyone talks about the movement in that scene in The Irishman where he beats up the shopkeeper, but I was distracted by the very obvious CGI glass breaking.

[@samueltheprideofafrikarobi9319]

SEEN IT QUESTION/REQUEST I'm not sure how often you're asked if you've seen any foreign/Asian films as I don't see it often in your segments, but I'm very interested to know if either of you have seen either The Man from Nowhere or A Bittersweet Life. These are usually two of my "go-to" films when I'm trying to ease someone int Korean cinema as they're similar to American films in their structure. The Man from Nowhere being nearly beat-for-beat Denzel Washington's Man on Fire and A Bittersweet Life sharing a somewhat similar story and tone with George Clooney's The American.

[@morieux1548]

here's to WTTB's triumphant return!!

[@javingatrell1350]

i enjoy this show so much :,)

[@zebrafishcat5256]

The Lighthouse is my personal pick for best picture

[@evalange4626]

11:20 fucking goals, bro ✨

[@puppysect]

Seen It: Dolemite is My Name?

[@WUStLBear82]

Henry Ford II was not Henry Ford's son, but his grandson. His father, Henry Ford's only child Edsel, died when just 49 several years prior to the elder Henry's death and several decades before the events of the movie.

[@4amstuckonearth]

Notice how every single character in the film calls it angel duss...

[@SirGeeeO]

I don't know if you've seen I lost my Body, but it was fantastic. It's what the best animated category should be built for. A movie that couldn't work in live action. It seems like The Oscars are trying to get serious about best animated film. In the end though they'll probably just pick Toy Story 4

[@nevet1212]

Why was this not in my feed?

[@daganmoriarty1973]

I really do love you guys, very much. But I'm gonna be honest with you - I didn't dig the break. But, let's leave that in the past, shall we? You're back now, and I feel a lot better. ; )

[@copperdog]

Damn you didn't talk about my three favorite films of the year: Parasite, Little Women and Marriage Story

[@blamesocietyfilms]

Stay tuned.

[@Hispandinavian]

Some of the music sounds like it got lifted from the Fat Albert cartoon.

[@brianmills5569]

Hey Matt and Craig, have either of you seen the original Django from 1966 starring Franco Nero?

[@langleymneely]

Meanwhile a curious little gem from the east sat in waiting... growing in popularity... feeding off the well deserved hype of the film world... you might say, like a .... PARASITE!?! Lol

[@TheMaestroso]

You two should go watch movies with the Red Letter Media guys - it would be great, and you're already so close to each other!

[@themoviedealers]

"No wonder this guy's mad, he's a Vikings fan." Funny, you would think he was a Cowboys fan.

[@OneUponADime]

The Irishman is a masterpiece

[@truemizu1596]

How do you feel about animated films being nominated for best picture, personally feel they deserve just as much attention as any AAA film

[@OneUponADime]

Still haven't seen The Godfather

[@jamesmackay4529]

7:48 hahhahha

[@jaguarheart]

yay you back!

[@Gigglefists]

WELCOME BACK

[@jmparker78]

Please tell me you two have seen Parasite. Greatest film I’ve seen this year; deserves to win everything. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood was awesome, and if it weren’t up against Parasite I’d be 100% in its camp. That said, 1917 probably is going to win BP but I don’t know why because it’s a very standard war movie. I liked it, but didn’t love it. Marriage Story contains some of the greatest acting this year from all involved.

[@langleymneely]

Josh Parker This video in hindsight is hilarious now! For once in a long long time the right film won the right awards! lol

[@q.q.p.p]

KZbin never puts BlameSociety on my front page even though I have been subscribed for years and seen nearly every episode.. good stuff though

[@NatetheAceOfficial]

If only he had a whole gallon of PCP. Then Bucky would've been okay.

[@olivermarijuanajones5041]

Ain't they prayin' hard Enough DAMN!!

[@here2watch08]

This movie is eh seh 70's.

[@PennyORadical]

Continuing my campaign for "Flight of Dragons" - and I agree with Craig about "The Irishman".

[@MrSushiTheSuperModel]

Wow, they REALLY don't like Joker do they

[@trisblackshaw1640]

No comment on the random jogger who joins the king fu fight? 😂

[@jeffthevideoguy23]

So he's back on the whack?

[@ThomasWilson4]

Joker wasn't great BUT no one who's seen is implying he's the king of anything. It's about Mental Illness and classism, how the media twist the narrative on what going on. Not about some guy who just "can't get laid".

[@NinjaDimes]

That's not what he said though. He said ' and he's never going to have sex ever', not that he can't get laid. He's saying that the hero to the masses IN THE MOVIE -- the persona people wind up idolizing with the clown masks etc, is this flawed character who is just this sad boy. And he said that's something he liked about it, by the way. He also didn't claim thats only what the movie was about? Personally, I thought the movie and the message was 'cheap' in that it was so obviously a zeitgeist grab by the makers, and it had to use SO much from King of Comedy and Taxi Driver to make it have depth and relevance, and did it much worse than both of them. Joaquin is a great actor, but the entire thing felt like they were pushing buttons to manipulate my reactions.

[@annaheff7332]

Thomas Wilson IV Personally I loved it, and Joker is not a hero to me at all. Feels like Craig and I were watching two different movies!

[@ThomasWilson4]

@@annaheff7332 Oh I think he definitely made up his mind before watching it for sure.

[@KatiCleo]

honestly the film rests on Phoenix's shoulders though. And the script, oh my god, the writing was just bad most of the time.

[@ThomasWilson4]

@@KatiCleo oh yeah, it was like taxi driver Jr. But that still isn't working against this narrative that anyone with a brain cell would idolize the joker, the most he gets is sympathy for a society that has failed him.

[@eldergroan]
