Halloween may be over, but the scares continue as we creep through a spooky old house in 'The Ghost and Mr. Chicken'
In Seen It, we discuss the royalty of Tenenbaums, the velocity of Lola and the pros and cons of being Hardboiled, in another edition of 'Seen It, Own It"
All film footage is used in accordance with fair use and US copyright law. All music in the show is used with full permission of the composer.
Thanks for all the great comments. Keep em coming! If you watch one of the movies we discuss, let us know what you thought of it.
Welcome To The Basement" is a show about watching, discussing and having fun with movies. Matt choses the movie and Craig doesn't know what it is until the cameras start rolling, so none of the discussion or riffing is planned ahead of time.
Movie announced on facebook before every new episode. Get the movie and follow along. We do discuss the entire movie, including the ending, so if you want to avoid spoilers, watch the movie first.

Aaagh, this is one of my favorite movies ever! "ATTA BOY, LUTHER!"

Don Knotts is basically how I'd describe my anxiety. It's like having him for an amygdala: one thing goes wrong and it just goes wild.

@stormcloudsabound 7 лет назад

Clairelyse do murder and calm go together?! CALM and MURDER???!?

@blamesocietyfilms 11 лет назад

I actually got to play a part (bookstore owner) in Mark Borchardt's latest unfinished film "Scare Me". It was quite the experience. He threw out all of the lines I had memorized and gave me new ones which I just ended up improvising. Hope the movie comes out eventually. --Aaron

Don Knotts was a genius. He was 'behind' his time, he was a vaudeville man in a post-vaudeville world, but he made it work for DECADES. So good to see him featured.

@bobbybudman0112 6 лет назад

One of my all-time favorite movies. It is so much fun. Don Knots is a joy to watch in anything that he does. Every time it comes on TV I make a point of watching it.

@termingyou 11 лет назад

I actually really loved The Ghost and Mr.Chicken when I was little :)

@sarasak86 11 лет назад

Craig just exploded my mind with the symbolism lol

@tightlywound 9 лет назад

This was one of my favorite episodes. Literally laughing our loud.

@LuckyBrat33 10 лет назад

Atta boy Luther!!!!

@edwardjones9347 8 лет назад

Your wrong about not remembering this film 3 days later. I first saw it when I was very young and even now can quote a lot of the dialogue. I love it and have passed that on to my children, and they have passed it on to theirs. Its a fun family classic. "TARO KARO SOLOMON!"

@germslover6662 10 лет назад

One of my favorite movies. Don Knott's is tops in my book. Another great movie he did is the Reluctant Astronaut, I was a little kid when I first watched his movies and have loved them ever since.

@jrkinnard1 4 года назад

I'm so happy to hear Craig discuss 'Risky Business' in the cold open. This is a movie that DESPERATELY needs a critical re-evaluation. It doesn't get the praise it deserves. If Matt hasn't seen it, you should definitely watch it on WTTB.

@ToniHunterOne 3 года назад

This movie is a blast!!! I've watched ever since I was about 8 years old.

@jeffkious6140 10 лет назад

Takes me back to the 60s when I saw this movie at the theater

@klaptongroovemaster 11 лет назад

Ernesto: "Atta boy Luther!" Best part of the whole video.

Wonder if Adam Sandler water boy “you can do it” is from that

@Djtripfromtap 10 лет назад

I would commit murderto be a student in Craig's film-class, but only if matt guest speaks regularly.

@billsillinger627 2 года назад

No matter how goofy I loved The ghost and Mr. chicken don’t spoil my childhood memories

@ang45875 11 лет назад

I LOVED this movie! I use to watch it all the time as a child.

@ChristopherJacob 11 лет назад

Oh my gosh this has been my favorite movie for many many years, thank you so much for doing this !

@Pikey_Wikey 8 лет назад

I saw this movie recently with my step-dad and my 10 year old brother, and we were all laughing the entire time. Even though it doesn't feature a whole lot of "ghosts or the haunted house," it adds comedy in every scene that's clever and funny.

@mariocisneros911 3 года назад

MR Chicken is a great movie for kids. Especially for kids seeing it at the movies. Fantastic. I remember seeing it in 1969. The music was loud , but the movie was fun

@EsotericOccultist 6 лет назад

I'm glad I found this channel..you guys are fun!

@DirtyWafles 11 лет назад

Have you seen Private Eyes? Probably my favorite Don Knotts movie. Saw it when I was a kid and still love it.

@TomAsz451 11 лет назад

You guys made my day, thanks for reffering to my comment about The Royal Tennenbaums, and thanks for this small discussion about it. I'm gonna sleep well. Greetings from the lone fan in Poland (kinda' proud of that) :)

@Djtripfromtap 10 лет назад

you guys are the best friends I've never actually met. Not a huge fan of watching movies alone, as if its good, I enjoy talking about it afterwards while eating a piece of pie(name that reference)

@PoseidonXIII 5 лет назад

Always a favorite of mine! :D

@ramenmustaches 11 лет назад

Hey there guys, longtime fan here! Today I saw a film that seems to be burned onto the back of my eyelids, I can't escape it. It's an Australian movie called "Candy" with Heath Ledger and many other Aussie actors. It was simply gorgeous. I have to recommend it for the show (if you haven't seen it,) because it seems like the kind of movie you guys could really discuss. Thanks for brightening my days with your show. :)

@KaptainSpaulding 11 лет назад

The Ghost And Mr Chicken for whatever reason always me less complicated times. I like Craig's character symbolism analysis. Thanks for the great show!

@blamesocietyfilms 11 лет назад

Yep.

@09amandaaustin09 11 лет назад

I would totally love to take a class taught by Craig.

@thorigrimm 11 лет назад

Yay! Run Lola Run! I been tryin' to see if you guys would watch that for ages, but I'm happy just to know that you not only have seen it, but enjoy it as well. ^^ Keep up the great work! ♥

@PlastoJoe 11 лет назад

Of all the movies I've seen, this is probably the last one I would've expected you to watch. I think my dad found it once in a VHS bargain bin and had our family watch it. My response was pretty much the same as Craig's.

@rsoldier 11 лет назад

I love this movie. the organ used to scare the hell out of me when I was a kid.

@theeturnone 11 лет назад

great show. . this is my first episode. . glad I found it. . I got a lot of youtube to watch this weekend

@thehulk86 11 лет назад

i dont know if it's something new, but the lighting at the beginning made craig look jaundiced

@mrsmonster85 11 лет назад

I always loved Don Knotts movies as a kid.

@carlyanncuadras 11 лет назад

Ever seen Chaplin's The Great Dictator? One of my favorites. The final speech always leaves me misty-eyed but smiling, a great summation of Charlie's ability to stir up the gamut of human emotion in his viewers. :'}

@JosephEstril 10 лет назад

Shakiest Gun in the West, Apple Dumpling Gang are the only two Don Knotts movies I've scene. and I only remember the line "A Seven Shooter?"

@TheMeJustMe75 10 лет назад

You need to see "The Love God" and "The Reluctant Astronaut". Both of these movies are great!

@scottb.7239 7 лет назад

Did you guys see the Wes Anderson Halloween movie skit on SNL last week? They nailed it spot on.

American Movie is one of the best documentaries I've ever seen.

@Dawidsu 4 года назад

Saw the movie yesterday. Didn't laugh much. Saw this just now. Laughed like crazy.

@stevenmonster 11 лет назад

It is just the lighting in that particular spot.

@madison78man 11 лет назад

best line: straight out of the Scooby Doo song book

@BaldyMcBaldface 11 лет назад

Great show guys and thank you for pronouncing Saskatchewan correctly. Have you seen the Canadian classic from 1998 called "Last Night" directed by Don McKeller? It's an excellent ensemble movie about what society might be like during the last few hours before the world's end.

@JediGeronimo 11 лет назад

Love this movie! Grew up watching this and the Incredible Mr. Limpet!

@ndgv2 11 лет назад

Another great episode.

@tigertank06 11 лет назад

i think craig's stretching with all those hidden meanings in the ghost and mr. chicken.

@Joykeymusic 11 лет назад

Finally a movie that I've seen that you guys review :P

@pdshiff 11 лет назад

That speech is an amazing piece of awkward comedy. Don Knotts was a genius.

@orf32 11 лет назад

Airport 1975. Seen it? As for the Ghost and Mr. Chicken this was my favorite movie that my Mom and I could watch together, really enjoying it with out any uncomfortable scenes of rape or gang bangs. It is really hard to find movies today you can enjoy watching with your mom.

@dheisey1014 11 лет назад

I saw this movie when I was 6 or 7. I think that's the right age for this one... The scary parts hit when you're that young and the physical comedy lands.

@Roosterboi21 Год назад

Even when I first saw this as a kid I thought it should have just been a Don Knotts "haunted house" movie. Imagine Don Knotts having to face off against a demon or something. Have him fumbling through Necronomicon pages trying to open a portal to hell.

@Zylork0122 4 года назад

I watched Kingpin tonight and heard the line “Attaboy Luther!” towards the end of the film. What’s the connection?

@ophelianichols1321 11 лет назад

more like "holy" ghost and the chicken! *60's neck neck neck laugh*

@kyrstimiller8809 11 лет назад

You guys used the same scenes twice! (start at 19:54 and again at 20:05) The cat gave it away...I sure do love that cat.

@thehulkmadsmash6716 8 лет назад

The Hobo, was played by Hal Smith, who also played...(drum roll please)... Otis the drunk on The Andy Griffith Show.

@TheBallpark25 11 лет назад

I have SEEN this youtube video. And it was great!!!!

@Jeffen 11 лет назад

Have you seen Pandorum? its a really solid sci-fi horror film with an ending twist that actually surprises you, which is hard to say for most recent movies.

@Jack__Reaper 11 лет назад

Holy shit Matt you lost weight! Good job mate and i hope you feel loads (pardon the pun) better for it. As a man thats a bit portly myself its great to see. Oh and awesome show as usual, thanks for the effort.

@SammyLevisosa 11 лет назад

I haven't seen this movie in years!

@WahDahTa 11 лет назад

I have an Edsel! it was so awesome to see one in it's prime, driven by Don Knotts haha, mine has seen better days.

@zatslol 11 лет назад

It's probably just the camera. When he's on the couch and describing the plot he looks fine.

@aestevalis0 11 лет назад

I think it's either the lighting or the camera. Even Matt's hand when he hands the movie to Craig looks yellow.

@tubaplyr4 11 лет назад

yay one of my favorites

@jamsterafc19 11 лет назад

I love the show also have you seen British spy thriller tinker tailor soldier spy ,I think it one of the best film of this decade.

@ScottyMelvin 8 лет назад

A movie buff, and you had never seen Ghost and Mr Chicken. Jeeesh.

@krisnaisley 11 лет назад

Craig you want more Don Knotts running around in a haunted house , have I ever got the film for you ! The Private Eyes. There is no dog, but a lot more haunted house shenanigans. I have not seen it in about 25 years. but I remember watching it incessantly until my parents told me the video store had "misplaced " the film. By misplaced I mean mom paid the clerk to tell me the movie was missing every time I tried to rent it.

@DrPepperKid14 11 лет назад

Its just the lighting. When they switched, he looked fine.

@chumon1992 11 лет назад

The Royal Tannenbaums is a great movie guys. Also Graig should wink like that more often... >_>

@RavensbladeDX 11 лет назад

Magic teleporting Ernesto!

@machineryofhate 11 лет назад

@jasonv1222 11 лет назад

Have you guys seen the movie Network? I recently saw it at my college movie theater and absolutely loved it.

@MrJohndoakes 7 лет назад

Made in 1966, the year they made "Manos: the 'Hands' of Fate." (Torgo theme plays in the background)

@peterbooth793 2 года назад

Even Mr Furley on Three's company is Barney Fife with gaudy taste.

@helrod 7 лет назад

Don't know if he was an actor without range or just an actor that found what worked

@obviouslylee 11 лет назад

Yaaaa! Don Knotts!! He's been my avatar forever!!! And my hero!!!

@samleembardo6202 Год назад

Best gift Matt ever gave ^^^^ I would slightly disagree about Don Knotts not having a good range. There's a lot of Andy Griffith Show episodes where he gives the character emotional depth you don't expect. The episode where he comes back to town and finds out Thelma Lou got married to someone else is heartbreaking

@BlaiddDrwg896 11 лет назад

I think it would be funny if Dylan Brogan was on Welcome to the Basement just as a guest. I'm sure Matt would get fed up with him and hilarity would ensue.

Great film, no doubt.

@LordBaruch 11 лет назад

For the first half of the episode I thought Craig was dressed up as a Simpson's character for Halloween. Then I remembered the last episode was your Halloween episode . . .

@TheNifinifi 11 лет назад

Have u seen "lucky number slevin"? one of my favourite movies mainly because of the twist at the end.

@gabrielleb74 11 лет назад

Hey thanks guys really enjoy this show. it would be cool if ya'll did a redbox or netflix series where we could watch the movies before the show.

@Hawkman220 11 лет назад

If you have a need to watch some more Don Knotts films I would recommend "The Private Eyes" with Don Knotts and Tim Conway hilarious movie.

@Twinkle-2000 10 лет назад

3:32 I could watch this all day XD!

@votro 11 лет назад

I tend to be a completist, even with movies I don't enjoy, and could probably count on one hand the number of films that I have started watching and not finished. American Movie is number one on that list. I also assumed it was a mockumentary, but slowly realized it had to be real. The movie me so uncomfortable, along with his pronunciation of "coven", that I just had to stop, and in 10 years have never felt an urge to go back and finish it.

@NoFiltersEver 11 лет назад

Hey, Modern Lovers! I was telling someone this morning how much I love that album.

@eraser101YT 11 лет назад

I saw your comment so I checked it out and had a good laugh, thanks :)

@eveny119 8 лет назад

Don Knotts was great in this. Movies of this period were fun, not filled with blood and gore. You can sit back and enjoy it and not have to unravel some convoluted plot or have a heart attack cause something just jumped out at you.

@stormcloudsabound 7 лет назад

Well, the horror is obviously a pretense in this film - it's comedy, not horror. Horror's a whole other genre, though there's some crossover. Enough of that whole "movies of this period were fun" thing, you're assuming blood and gore are inherently bad. Overdone, that gets a bit tedious, but I'd much rather be a bit scared or shocked by something (not overly so, again) than be mildly amused. That being said, this movie is pretty funny. It's not horror, though.
