The Bigamist (Welcome To The Basement)

[@JamBear]

"Just because I'm flirting with the dental hygienist doesn't mean I like being at the dentist" hahahahahaha that is priceless

[@HenryRSeymour]

I think the best part of this video is Tona's "I'm not feeling happy about this right now."

[@QueenInYell0w]

Tona is awesome!

[@raez5714]

I'm having a horrible week and you two manged to make me forget all about it. Thank you so much Matt and Craig. You're wonderful people.

[@gorefreak2]

Me too, some good comedy always helps with the blues.

[@TreexHugga]

I hope life gets better soon!

[@JamBear]

Turn that frown upside down :)

[@alrightletsgo5715]

***** it doesn't go away

[@LarryPokeTrainer]

I always love to hear Craig's stories from when he was a kid.

[@DexterDynamoFilms]

Have you seen prisoners. This movie pulled me in for two and half hours without being bland a single moment. It feels so claustrophobic and atmospheric, maintaining that feeling throughout the entire duration. Not to mention the acting is fantastic.

[@brianlynch4016]

When Matt and Craig started having the conversation about how they would successfully carry out bigamy I was thinking "well this is going into an unexpected direction". Thankfully Tona is there to set them straight.

[@profshad3429]

Shut up

[@agentorangecb1]

Well it is ironic that the first women's month video was their most sexist so far but i know the guys don't mean it, they're just having fun

[@calvinjluther]

"I don't know what a bad movie is." Oh, Matt. Oh, you sweet, summer child.

[@MrDominatorGaming]

Marathoning Welcome To The Basement, so awesome!

[@ChrisKewl]

You tell them boys, Tona!

[@endorbr]

Solid point from Craig. "Just because I'm flirting with the dental hygienist doesn't mean I like being at the dentist."

[@DarkInugami92]

The sight of Matt and Craig in clown makeup just made my day XD

[@larryparks1520]

We didn't have cable in Minneapolis in the early 80's. But, I was at a friends house in a suburb who did have TMC. My first two cable films were, My bodyguard and Humanoids from the deep. I was about 10-11yrs old and it was awesome!

[@guyonbench]

Craig reveals to us his part time side job: Fortune cookie fortune writer.

[@ridered300]

I want to be honest, this show isn't always very entertaining, but it's always interesting because I love movies and film history and you guys never fail to bring that! Keep it up! This show is unique in a good way, not for people with short attention, but great for us film buffs!

[@jayl1980]

I love Last Starfighter, Me and one of my coworkers spend hours quoting it

[@ThisMagello]

Listen, you can tell us. Is Craig your second wife? Is he the one that's in on it?

[@SMGleader]

Magello LOLOLOL

[@eustacequinlank7418]

The Great Silence, seen it? If you haven't don't look it up or you'll spoil one of the best film endings ever commited to film.

[@NerdStoryteller]

Another quality episode. Love the show. Thanks! :-)

[@LukeAurio]

Oh man. How the heck in 3 years did I not catch the Mr. Show milking machine reference? 11/10 you guys are killing it.

[@OneUponADime]

Craigs dental hygienist line was tops

[@HiCjenna]

Hey Matt and Craig, I'm a big fan of your show. I just finished watching all of them. I was wondering seeing if you have seen the 1997 animated film Anastasia. It was one of my favorites growing up. Keep up the good work, guys!

[@SpecialQue85]

Seen It: Either "That Guy... Who Was in That Thing..." or the sequel "That Girl... Who Was In That Thing..." Great documentaries interviewing all of those "character actors" you see in every movie and the struggles these actors have had in Hollywood.

[@nickdeangelo5414]

Thanks for mentioning The Last Starfighter in this! I have incredibly vague memories of a movie as a kid. All I can remember is an arcade game and weird aliens. At the time I was so young that the aliens scared me enough to turn the movie off.

[@sydneymctigue5536]

My high school chemistry teacher felt the same way as Craig about magnets. He used to tell us answers were never allowed to be "magic" unless it was about magnets. Then we could just say it was magic.

[@acegammer5]

Recently discovered this movie during my work at a library. Mr. Toads Wild Ride. A live-action remake of "The Wind in the Willows" released in 1996 that stars much of the Monty Python cast. Should give it a watch if you haven't.

[@JackFlanders]

The Last Starfighter. Just watched it again a few weeks back. Enjoyable flick.

[@plancktime6859]

I watched one of your Welcome To The Basement(WTTB) videos a few days ago and you were talking about Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon, and on that same day I watched WTTB Black Xmas video then I watched the Black Xmas 1974 movie and documentary on the movie, in the Docu the director said he cast Edmond O'Brien as the cop, but had to recast him because he couldn't do the role. I had never heard of him until the ducu on Black Xmas and now this WTTB movie The Bigamist. That is so odd. Within 3 days of getting a name for it, it happened to me. I didn't know it was a Phenomenon with it's own name. I have had this happen to me a lot over the years, but never knew so many other people had it happen to them.

[@DukeofLorraine]

My insomnia has finally paid off! :D

[@LukeAurio]

Low-key loving that deep cut mr. show reference.

[@hadassah179]

The part with the constant "in bed" reminds me of the joke about Dove chocolates. Any fortune in the wrapper can be ended with "in bed". lol

[@lucash8234]

Tona's deadpan "Yeah, OK" was pretty funny.

[@jaredbenham1078]

Omg the guy who plays mr. Jordan is also the scientist in "Them".

[@DrMerciless]

A "Quest for Fire" would be a good ep.

[@SirGeeeO]

i'm sure you guys get a lot of "seen it" recommendations that you haven't seen. So, you should do a "haven't seen it" segment for movies that would surprise us that you haven't seen. Me and a good friend of mine are cinephiles like you two and he hasn't seen the Shining

[@ScottKorin]

Yeeeesssss.

[@craigjohnson6423]

One could say that the entire show is a Haven't Seen It. There have been many times that Matt has amazed me with what he presents. Romeo & Juliet, Armageddon, Bedazzled, The Magnificent Seven, Starship Troopers, The Great Train Robbery and Badlands all surprised me quite a bit.

[@M4Z1N]

Such good content! Thanks guys!

[@rayhs1984]

Quick research says that while Mabel Normand did direct herself all her directorial efforts were short films, so may not count for the rule of "directing herself in a film.

[@JamBear]

Craig, magnetism (specifically ferromagnetism) is a quantum mechanical phenomenon which arises due to the electronic structure of some materials. Electrons have a magnetic dipole moment because of their intrinsic angular momentum and that, coupled with how electrons are arranged based on quantum effects, produces a permanent magnetic field.

[@benaaronmusic]

Love this show. Thanks for the laughs.

[@TheJonathantheMoss]

You guys should watch Dead Man's Shoes, a heart warming film about the love a man has for his brother.

[@CTN71]

I liked that dentist metaphor at the beginning of the video

[@HitchcockJohn]

Have you guys seen The Hurt Locker? I would argue it's Kathryn Bigelow's best film, followed by Zero Dark Thirty.

[@mikecronis]

Great work again, Matt.

[@ndgv2]

I've waited an hour for this to load. youtube is so damn slow tonight. Guess I'll wait until tomorrow, maybe youtube will get its shit together. I'm really looking forward to watching this.

[@SleepFan771]

Have you guys seen Boyz N The Hood? I just saw it for the first time today and loved it! It really captured a community, time, life, and portrayed the harsh realities of living in poverty as black youths and families. The performances were all pretty great too. Ice Cube and Laurence Fishburne both stand out as amazing actors in it. Also, could you talk about another masterpiece: Spike Lee's Malcolm X? If you want to hear some abortion talk, watch the amazing Michael Caine film Alfie! It's really neat!

[@400KrispyKremes]

GodWarrior7771 Hey they read your "seen-it" question man. It's at 21:30.

[@Parmesana]

The movie looked like a stink-bomb...but your comments in this episode are 'da bomb' laughed a LOT. thanks

[@Crumpetinspector]

I wanna hear tona talk more!!!

[@presidentbartlett4580]

Have you seen "Cleo from 5 to 7"? Excellent new wave flick directed by a woman, Agnes Varda

[@LadyDecember]

20:49 The Last Straighter...?

[@blamesocietyfilms]

Ha ha! This is what happens when Craig is on vacation and isn't around to proofread my captions.

[@DJTyrrell]

Oh, I thought that was intentional and there was a hidden joke in there!

[@sirleebutler]

and referenced in the b&bg live feed tonight!

[@JohnSmith-td7hd]

Oh wow I missed that :)

[@masonallen3961]

You should watch Ida Lupino’s last movie as director, The Trouble with Angels. It’s a 1966 Disney Teen Comedy starring Hayley Mills of The Parent Trap fame about Catholic School Girls who come into conflict with the strict Mother Superior. It would provide a nice contrast between it and this movie despite having the same director.

[@VECtehSEC]

I loved the Mr. Show reference

[@daclyde]

Thanks for covering my Last Starfighter Seen It. Disappointed that we won't see a full episode about it, but still fun to hear your thoughts. If you dig around the web, someone has actually created a fully functional copy of the game from the movie. A little tough to play, but dead-on accurate. Being a little kid at the time I saw it, that was the first time I ever saw Robert Preston and Dan O'Herlihy in anything. Now having seen them both in what most people would call "better" movies, I'm somewhat surprised either of them did it, but am glad they did as they stole the movie.

[@OxBigly2010]

I always thought a bigamist was an Italian fog

[@wacabell]

btw you showed the Spanish poster for IL BIGAMO Italian, EL BIGAMO Spanish...

[@Azathoth43]

So I've been wanting to ask this for months but it's so silly I haven't bothered you with it. I have to know what View Master disc that is in the background. I don't know why but my eyes are always drawn to it.

[@blamesocietyfilms]

Azathoth43 I think it's the one Craig was looking at on the episode I gave him the viewmaster. Sesame Street characters dressed as fairy tale characters I think?

[@JohnDoe-bk1vb]

Have you seen Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me? Polarising on release, I didn't think it was as terrible as some think. A lot more surreal and weird than the TV series.

[@Beibyface]

Have you seen the norwegian spoof movie Kill Buljo? It's an.... experience :D

[@stevnated]

I've said this before, but... "Over The Edge"? Seen it?

[@trevorgautereaux]

Ever seen American Graffiti? Its one of my favorite teen dramas and its hard to believe its written and directed by George Lucas.

[@willsi]

Can't wait for that new Mad Max.

[@ImUncleRon]

Have you seen BLACKOUT? A made-for-HBO thriller starring Keith Carradine, Kathleen Quinlan and Richard Widmark?

[@Casciop94]

Just so you guys know, this video is in the Beer and Boardgames season 5 playlist

[@brocklinehan]

I'm quite confused. When I saw that you were reviewing The Bigamist, I thought you were watching the Fellini version of The Fog.

[@persianheir5218]

Insane clown posse magnet joke, yes matt!

[@92brunod]

Why is this in the "Beer and Board Games Season 5" playlist?

[@dannyworsnop6380]

you misspelled "Starfighter"

[@RMilvae]

"What kid in the 80's that played video games didn't feel poor? "ACTION MAX"!

[@collinwoodresident]

Olivia de Havilland is still alive ~ 97 years old!!!

[@emmaclarke2885]

Was Craig with Christina when this was filmed?

[@Avery1125]

Matt and Craig: Have you watched Withnail & I?

[@ShadowFanGirl728]

Hey, I love the show. It's the only reason I go on youtube anymore. I don't watch movies too often (I don't have the time) but you make me feel like I am. :) I did recently watch a little movie called Imaginaerum by Nightwish, though. It's a movie co-written by Tuomas Holopainen, the lead songwriter of the band Nightwish, and, of course, the band is featured in the movie. I love Nightwish and their music, so of course I loved their movie (even if it could get confusing at times), but I was wondering if I could get your opinions on it. If you need any incentive to watch the movie, Nightwish is a Finnish band, and although they sing in English and the movie is in English, it is a "kinda" Finnish movie.

[@gruknarorcishwar-yerhereto8489]

Looking back at this why didn’t Matt say to his wife “oh you’d be the one I’m on it”

[@darkcreeper3823]

Have you seen Tremors 1, 2, 3, or 4?

[@gruknarorcishwar-yerhereto8489]

Looking back at this why didn’t Matt say to his wife “oh you’d be the one In on it”

[@agentorangecb1]

Do you like to dance... In bed?? Works 1% of the time, every time!

[@FERROUSBOWLER]

your next director- Leni Riefenstahl!!!. it would be an educational video!!!

[@xiaoxiao01]

did matt lose weight? he looks good

[@NikolaiAllen]

I just went back to watch the "Song of the South" episode after it being mentioned on this episode, I think he has!

[@nickmccabe2327]

When Matt does all the traveling he needs to keep his bigamist lifestyle a secret, it naturally causes him to lose weight.

[@Fooofs]

Yep, he's been on a diet for a while now and is looking damn good compared to the early episodes, and in general imo.

[@dirigibility]

What I've found in the almost decade of watching Matt is that he doesn't lose weight often, but when he does it's like a third of his body weight.

[@tikifreakazoid]

I assume they've seen American Psycho but if they haven't I'd guess that for the next episode.

[@Himmelgren]

"I'm not feeling happy about this right now..." and the correct answer is: "Oh, just because you're not the wife that knows about the other one? Oh, wait.."

[@YOSUP315]

Since you're talking female directors, what about watching Hurt Locker?

[@eppyisfab3731]

Have you guys seen 'You Can't Stop the Music'? All I remember from that film: Young Bruce Jenner could act really well.

[@chobitsai1]

Will you ever dress up in costume for a movie? (Not just a mask)

[@nointro]

Praise the Sun!

[@mattburkey8393]

Hey, this movie is in the public domain: archive.org/details/the_bigamist

[@AlexFyrehartDGAFCave]

Seems like you guys would've seen it, but I'd like to get your thoughts on To Kill A Mockingbird. I may be in the minority here, but honestly I thought the movie was kind of boring. I can handle movies with slow paces, but to me this movie just seemed to go on forever. That said, I don't think the movie is necessarily bad or terrible, it just didn't live up to the hype for me, so I only find it to be ok in the end.

[@garrett291]

Matt looks 20 years younger with that awkward stubble.

[@Christember]

Craig, thou art God.

[@jclimenh]

Sophia Coppola, Lost in Translation. I think you need to be middle aged to really understand the subtlety of it

[@nickmccabe2327]

I think the story that St Vincent tells only works if the acting and writing are spot on. And that movie was able to do it. Bill Murray and Melissa McCarthy played their roles as very true to life and sincere. If McCarthy had to tried to act like a crazy person like she does in many of her movies, it would not have worked. A movie that tells a somewhat similar story and does not do it well is Parental Guidance. Billy Crystal plays an aging sports radio announcer who doesn't feel useful anymore. In the end of the movie, he helps his son overcome stuttering. But the way it's done is a very typical Hollywood trite ending.

[@nickmccabe2327]

I meant grandson not son.

[@NatterCast]

Oh, come on...TGDD tickled your stick...

[@bryancruz200]

Give me your fucking hair craig please I beg of you.

[@deadpan80]

As of 11/21/18, Olivia deHaviland is STILL ALIVE!!!!

[@carcinomablue]

Spoiler: She isn't the wife that's in on the whole thing. ;)

[@SleepFan771]

Love Ida Lupino, her and Joan Fontaine are fantastic in The Bigamist. Edmond O'Brien was definitely miscast. It should have been a younger and more charming gentleman.

[@rayhs1984]

This is on my "to watch" list, almost don't want to watch this video so it doesn't taint my review.

[@kavinskysmith4094]

Hey Craig, just to let you know Regan was a democrat first and probably was back then when she wouldnt work with him lol also for Seen it Dark Passage 1947, Layer Cake 2005, and Heat 1995,

[@stevemcquark]

Your thoughts are St. Vincent is why I disliked Wolf on Wall Street. It's a movie I've seen a dozen times before, done better before, and didn't drag nearly as much before.

[@LaughingOwlKiller]

stevemcquark Funny considering Wolf of Wall Street was about a real guys life...

[@stevemcquark]

LaughingOwlKiller Which are the same guys said older movies are "Unofficially" based on as well, hence the Gordon Gecko joke.

[@LaughingOwlKiller]

stevemcquark The way you worded that I am not clear on what you are trying to say...

[@stevemcquark]

LaughingOwlKiller I mean it's not the first move based on guys like that, just the first one to be based on them Officially.

[@LaughingOwlKiller]

stevemcquark True, but I wouldn't say the others were done "better". Wall Street, to me, is not that great of a film. Not a bad film in any regard, I just to regard it as highly as many others do. Wolf of Wall Street on the other hand is a much better film to me. In part because I know the things in it (at least in some way) actually happened to this guy. It's kind of like calling something Cliche if it created the Cliche.

[@pvtjhon]

Great video guys.... in bed! I was listening to you talk about how to cheat on women and Im like guyyss stoop and then she likes "shut the fuck up" hahaha well she said it nicer... a lot nicer... hahaa. Oh man.. having one wife in on it. hahahaahah

[@DreadTerrorFear]

MATT, ARE YOU DYING YOUR HAIR? Your weigth loss is going amazingly well, but suddenly your hair seems a tad darker...
