The Official This Aged Great! T-Shirt is Available Now: www.htbkicksass.com/this-aged-great/tagdare

[@rehanimus]

You guys r awesome

[@Uziel-187AD]

Can the shirts have the jokes on the back, with the movie info on the front?

[@FookerCarlson]

I was going to buy it but then you said racism is not so good

[@LadyBits2023]

... I have never once in my life left a KZbin comment to try and support a small channel but bro, you fucking deserve it. I have no idea where this came from but my God it's gold.

[@Jeff_Kasmala]

Same here. This is gonna be an amazing series of videos

[@peteyp123]

Same here, love these uploads❤😂

[@debbiebasche5337]

It's great !!

[@kimberlyhonig8030]

Yes!! I’m a loving this so much!!

[@patrickbyrne5070]

We’re here and we’re ready. This is the good stuff

[@Boolai]

I grew up in NYC at that time. As a Puerto Rican that could pass for Italians. I remember the Italian grandma's treating me really nice. But as soon as they figured out i was not Italian. I had to run for my life. LMAO aww the good ole days.

[@LembeckIsStaying]

That's crazy, I worked with a guy who was a full Italian but everyone never had a second thought that he had to be Puerto Rican. Even I did it lol. It didn't help it was Central Florida, so there's that. 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@philipwhelan14]

"Why can't you be more like your brother" and the whole breakdown killed me. I never noticed that was the photo. Now there's a shared universe that needs to be extended.

[@trevorlambert4226]

This series just came out of nowhere, being watched by hardly anyone, but it's really great so far.

[@PoochieCollins]

The KZbin algorithm came calling :-)

[@jxpd7898]

"We've solved racism we haven't solved sexism" if I was sitting in a chair I would have fallen out of it from laughing

[@sulufest]

Holy crap- it IS the priest from The Exorcist!!! 😂

[@MrNightpwner]

Skipped the part where his friend got a girl pregnant and commited suicide out of fear and he didnt give a shit 😂

[@patrickmccutcheon8860]

Yeah man that’s what I kept telling my folks when they’d watch this movie. This shit is dark and it’s set to a Bee Gees soundtrack.

[@tkay7950]

And also the part just before that where two of friends rape the only girl in their friend group while the main character sits in the front of the car doing nothing about it…

[@D33Lux]

@@tkay7950 B.S. this generation is so politically correct you make up lies just to make everyone a victim. Go watch the movie, that girl said she was gonna go screw Tony's friends in the car and she consented to it. Her crying doesn't make her a victim, that's called regret and shame, it was all on her.

[@joinsideke]

@@D33Lux She wasn't sober, which at least one of the guys knew cos she got her drugs from him. She was pining over Tony, got wasted, and got the idea as way to make him jealous, thinking that he would stop them. Of course she's responsible for her actions leading up to that, but to say "it was all on her" when those boys clearly took advantage of her is pretty concerning dude. It's not politically correct to be like "hey don't fuck someone who's clearly troubled and on something" that's just the morally right thing to do.

[@abselby]

" we solved racism. We haven't quite solved sexism yet." I've never seen this movie, So my stomach was turning... And then I just burst out laughing 😂

[@archermora2175]

I have never seen this movie but my parents would always reference it when I was growing up. Especially the "my hair your messin up my hair" line whenever I complained about them fussing over my hair lol

[@ericharmon7163]

As an American that was raised in an Italian family, I csn confirm that dinners often end in an argument. It has been a joke I tell that at family gatherings the TV volume starts on 5 and by the end is on 50 so you can hear it over the yelling, lol.

[@theresAsnakeInMaBoot]

I hate to break your insular ethnic bias, but this was not just because “muh Italian Family”. My parent grew up in a large French-Irish-Catholic family and their meals evolved into arguments, also. through the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s, and beyond. I bet Polish families will tell you the same. And Latin families. And Greek Families. German families don’t do this. Also, upper middle-class families don’t do this. So I’m guessing your experience probably comes from being from a certain earth latitude, a large Catholic family that didn’t practice responsible birth control methods, and a lower socioeconomic status than a specific country, per se.

[@ericharmon7163]

@theresAsnakeInMaBoot wow, that was the most judgmental, idiotic nonsense I've ever read. Way to take a personal observation and make it about you. You are what I call educated beyond your intelligence. The movie was about an Italian family. So the comments are about being in an Italian family. Seems your upbringing didn't teach you humility or the ability to understand the context of a conversation. I'm dumber for having wasted time reading this. Oh, upper middle class families don't do this, lmao. 😆 The expert, 😆 🤣 😂

This movie isn't a comedy, but it's one of the few movies that's ever had me crying laughing.

[@henrywallacesghost5883]

Works at a paint factory😂 I think "store" is the proper word.

[@zirconic9]

But "factory" is funnier.

[@daysleepnightread6905]

I saw this on tv as a kid and all the cuss words were dubbed. I thought it was a cute dance movie. I saw it as an adult and omg. Every other word was the F or the C word! I had no idea! 😂

[@outpostcheerfuloyster]

In the 1970s, after having broken free of the Hays code, any movie outside Disney had to achieve an R rating, or it was taken seriously.

[@MrJzaldivar]

This coworker of mine told me a story that this was his wife’s favorite movie because for some reason she only saw it on TV where they deleted a few scenes and made this movie a PG until one day he decided to buy the DVD and they saw the unedited version of it and just ruin this movie for her for the rest of her life😂😂😂😂

[@suzybearheart530]

I was born in 1981, and my strict Mormon parents wouldn't let me watch movies like Footloose, Dirty Dancing, Grease, all those dance movies. So when I rebelled as a teenager and watched them all I was shocked by how depressing Saturday Night Fever was. 😂

[@mego73]

For the longest time I DID believe that was the same priest from The Exorcist.

[@petermiller819]

You can go past 10 min algorithm time if you want. We will still watch it. 😂

[@BandaidYT]

thats so 2012 lols nowadays an hour long is like 10 minutes (with how much ppl skip through or don't watch at all just skipping through videos, so i would say that 30 minutes to an hour long form content is king now.

Thank you.

[@polydex108]

​@@BandaidYTWould you say it's either 30 min or 30 sec nowadays?

[@danielsanichiban]

I grew up loving Saturday Night Fever. When the Bee Gees come in at the start, I’m amped. Thankfully it didn’t otherwise rub off on me. This take is bang on point

[@thisagedgreat]

Thank you so much!

[@adamska950]

The "transition" at 2:43 killed me.

[@SurfingTubes]

Royal Carribean has performers who do "Saturday Night Fever" play on their cruise lines. Saw it on the "Liberty of the Sea" on the way to Bermuda last year. Went to it thinking it would be mediocre, cheesy, it was one best live performances I've ever seen. The dancing elite, exrodinairy singing, acting, delighted by the show, amazing talent, they did a great job with the story. Performers from Columbia played the Puerto Rican dance team and they were absolutely awesome! Broadway level talent on a cruise ship. If you get a chance to see it don't miss it!

[@captainleisuresuit]

I really identified with this film in my 20s (1990s), at least the nightlife aspect of it. I was a primped pretty boy straight dude wearing flashy clothes, working dead end jobs, and dancing at clubs every weekend with perfect hair. I was living a disco fantasy long after the scene was gone.

[@shaftlamer]

In the 90s??you were 15 years too late😂😂

[@captainleisuresuit]

Indeed. Sad that I missed it when it was still a big thing

[@shaftlamer]

@@captainleisuresuit.. And so you went to disco clubs, while grunge and hiphop were the thing! LMAO

[@captainleisuresuit]

🕺

[@Shampyon]

@@shaftlamer It was also the 70s revival period. BNasically up until recently, every current period experiences a revival of the culture of the period 20 years prior. In the 1970s they had the 50s revival (e.g. Grease), in the 80s there was a 60s revival, in the 90s was the 70s revival, 2000s was the 80s revival (hello Adam Sandler's Wedding Singer), 2010s were the 90s revival, and now there's a 2000s revival.

[@writeralbertlanier3434]

This is actually a pretty good take on Saturday Night Fever. Silly but a good take. I always suspected the racial /ethnic component of this movie was underplayed and not discussed much because it's not usually considered when this film gets talked about. Fundamentally Tony hates his neighborhood and wants to get the hell out . That drives everything his character does in the movie

[@Thurston86]

“Exorcize a little girl!” 😂

[@nyambe]

This movie is a lot deeper that it is credited for.

[@noahyes]

the entire exorcist multiverse easter egg section killed me. i havent laughed that hard in a really long time.

[@solidkingcobra]

I never seen Saturday Night Fever but the thread being pulled from one single scene (image of the brother) at 1:40 to 2:40 is absolute gold. Saturday Night Fever is canonically part of The Exorcist universe... or is it the other way around?

[@bleepbloop101010101]

It's actually a different actor (Martin Shakar), but they do look almost identical.

[@Pablo668]

Actually I found this movie a lot darker than I was expecting. Pretty good review really.

[@michaeledwards6683]

too often people write off 70’s movies because they don’t understand that grit and social realism was what was considered deep at the time so the movies that wanted to share progressive messages did so by blatantly showing regressive aspects of society

[@TheStarBlack]

That's not specific to the 70s

[@michaeledwards6683]

@ true, but it’s a bit of a trademark of the 70s (for american films, that is)

The greatest coming of age story of all time. Travolta is perfect in this

Another great underrated movie that stared John was Urban Cowboy. He's a good actor that can play alot of different characters believably. Scott Glenn as the outlaw, convict, cowboy was amazing. Scott was also good in the movie "The River" with Mel Gibson.

[@DIOBrando-ij2bp]

The way Saturday Night Fever get sold on stuff is kind of hilarious. When it gets talked about it’s like the disco movie, its fun disco sequences with the Bee Gees music. If you have seen it, but you’ve heard it talked about on TV, you might think the tone is similar to other big dancing movie it gets brought up alongside like Dirty Dancing and Footloose. The way it mostly gets talked about you’d think it was Grease. But the main group in Saturday Night Fever are a bunch of dirty bags, they’re not as bad (or fun) as the gang in A Clockwork Orange, but they’re not too far off either. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen A Bronx Tale, but I want to say Saturday Night Fever is kind of like A Bronx Tale with disco.

[@edwardduarte7393]
