The Long Long Trailer | Welcome To The Basement

[@jayvarner5628]

That a viewer can ask such a deeply intellectual question can be asked by a viewer and be answered with an equally compelling answer is one reason why I love this show.

[@tarransanders21]

Man, you two were on fire in this. "Put eggs in the damn salad!"

[@mrsrobophile]

This is one of my dad’s favorite comedies. I remembering it being on television a lot in the ‘80s.

[@NatterCast]

Despite similarities in theme, the first Mad Max movie was quite tonally distinct from its sequels.

[@caffeineadvocate]

One of my earliest movie-going memories is laughing myself to tears at the brick-throwing scenes in Home Alone 2. I watched it again recently and man, still funny. :D

[@dawndarling8853]

You both offer hilarious annotations as well as intelligent, insightful, and thought-provoking assessments. Those qualities together are what make the show so enjoyable. It's clear that you know your craft and put a lot of work into your productions.

[@MatthewSchellGaming]

No joke. Right (ok maybe off by a second) when Craig says "honk!" someone honked outside my window. And I live between suburbia and rural, so don't get many honks out here.

[@craigjohnson6423]

It was me, Matthew. I drive around the country monitoring who is watching the show and when, then I wait outside and honk just to freak them out. That's the customer service WTTB is known for.

Seen it? Smoke Signals! A great film and, at times, a painfully accurate portrayal of growing up on a reservation. Lots of childhood memories there, lol. Plus it's one of very few films with an entirely Native production team!

[@MammaApa]

This movie reminds me a lot of the Disney cartoon "Mickey's Trailer" which of course has a harrowing mountain pass sequence, chaotic mid-trip kitchen antics and much more. I really would have thought that cartoon was a spoof of this movie but it turns out it was made in 1938, so 16 years before The Long Long Trailer. Check it out if you havent' seen it.

[@alt-rightisalright6731]

You guys are so sweet. You actually aged together doing this sweet, funny and heart warming show I've been watching for years. And you aged good! You folks rock! I would never in my life learn about those weirdo ancient boring movies you sometimes watch. Now I feel enriched.

I remember from watching this movie years ago that their car changed from a Mercury to a Lincoln after driving around a bend.

[@noahhock]

Not sure why this popped in my head, but Seen it: Bubba Ho-Tep? Bruce Campbell at his best, and one of my favorite lines in any film: "They dyed me this color!"

[@Starscreamlive]

They could've murdered cute puppy dogs on screen in this film, it would still go down as a classic. Lucy and Desi getting into crazy shenanigans in color and on the big screen = guaranteed success. It's not a good film at all but I still love it. It's one of my guilty pleasure films, like Star Trek V.

[@exiles_dot_tv]

14:53 is kind of a fascinating shot - cool to see how they did effects back then, using clever camera tricks & miniatures, etc.

[@JaredOnYT]

Fun fact: the trailer brake guy (Bert Freed) has been on this show twice, in both Invaders from Mars and Billy Jack!

I don't know this actor, but looking him up, he had quite the career. Clint and Kubrick and everyone in between.

Craig: the geographic movie detective.

[@somecathchick]

I think Home Alone 2 took a page out of Back to the Future 2's book and tried to evoke nostalgia for the first film, except they did so by retreading the first movie with a few minor changes. Whether it was successful in doing so is up to the viewer. Since this season featured both a Henry Fonda film and a Lucille Ball film, I say combine the two and watch the original version of "Yours, Mine, and Ours" (not the terrible 2005 remake). If you've already seen it, I'd like to hear your thoughts on it, as it was one of my favorite films growing up.

[@SaturmornCarvilli]

Allow me to put on my Poindexter glasses for a moment. Traditional Caesar Salads are made with raw eggs. Additionally, chicken eggs had less of (practically none) an issue of Samonella until the 1970s/1980s. Remember Rocky's training diet of raw eggs? It just wasn't an issue then, now much less so. This wasn't even a lack of education thing either, eggs were just much safer to eat raw before.

New moon trailers, built in Alma, Michigan. Having grown up in one, I can say it was an amazing (yet very tiny) trailer. I was excited to watch this movie and was saddened when I realized the interior shots of the trailer were on a stage. Way way waaaayyy too roomy.

When are you guys going to colab with the Red Letter Media guys?

I doubt RLM would agree, but I'm sure the guys from Good Bad or Bad Bad would do it, in fact they stated in a comment they would love to collab with somebody but they have been too lazy to reach out to anybody...

[@Goldenspiderducck]

There’s a bit of bad blood there. Matt has said he doesn’t harbor any ill will towards them. However, he has also brought up RLM mocking Chad Vader back in the day (it’s in The Grabowskis). I think the way they did it kinda sealed the deal on collabs for Matt (my opinion). So, sadly, I don’t think it’ll be happening.
