The Ox Bow Incident | Welcome To The Basement 

More audio problems in the discussion. Whee! (Good audio comes back during Seen It)

What's an Oxbow? Come on Matt, you learned the answer to that in the Cranium episode of Beer and Board Games.

I love when you keep the cat interruptions in! @1:53

Whenever Matt says “Dana Andrews” it makes me think of the devil in bedazzled singing “Julie Andrews” every time a wish is granted

Henry Fonda, native of Grand Island, Nebraska. Gotta represent, folks.

truly one of the most underrated series on youtube! love you Matt and Craig!

King Kong Bundy? Da Crusher? You ARE old.

Cecil scared the business outta me at 1:55! What a cute little disruptor!

I laugh harder than I should when Craig says something durning the reading of their notes and Matt laughs.

There's a 2013 Japanese remake of Unforgiven that I saw at a film festival I remember being great. The generally kick-ass Ken Watanabe takes on the Eastwood role and the setting shifts to the dying days of the samurai era. It's worth your time.

I have a reoccurring dream involving you two, and this show. It always goes the same way, starts out with a cold open with Matt talking about cheese in movies. Is it good, is it bad? Craig misinterprets, and talks about how mozzarella is his least favourite. Queue intro. Matt: You're a lot of things Craig. But manly is not one of them. This movie, is manly. It invented manly. You become more manly just being in the same room as it. Manly. Craig: This is... weird? Ive never heard of it. Matt then brings out Craig's gift. A manly man. Kyle Gas from tenacious D. Apparently they're supposed to lick his armpits. Matt is into it. Craig is not. Cut to the old leather couch just before Craig reaches the armpit. The movie starts out in some sort of fancy party. Tons of celebrities are there. Like Kevin Hart, and the Rock. Kevin Hart is lying and saying he and the rock are friends. The other guests don't believe him. Kevin: Well, me and the Rock are reading Eurydice! Then he storms off, upset, hiding tears. The rock is a great guy. He's covering for Kevin Hart. Rock: Oh great, now i have to buy that book too! We see a pop-up with a decrease in the Rocks bank account for the price of the book. On the other side of the party Matt and Craig are standing in the movie. Craig swipes a flute of champagne from a passing waitress. Looking back the waitress bumps into another waitress who proceeds to drop her tray of fresh hors d'oeuvres. The Hors d'oeuvres waitress runs off in a huff. The champagne waitress crouches down to clean up. Craig say "tough day huh?" to the waitress. She laughs slightly. Craig is sooo charming. But Matt realises that they're IN the movie. And they're changing the outcome of it. Matt tells Craig this and they go run off to save the movie. Or at least i assume they do, I don't know. I always seem to wake up at that point. So dear Matt and Craig, does any of this sound familiar? Is this an actual movie? Or have I fallen asleep too many times while listening to this show, and it's affected my brain? Thanks.

Cigarette shot out of my mouth and freaked out my buddy sitting on the couch next to me when i yelled at my first shoutout on "Seen It!". Thanks all yall.

Seen it? 3:10 to Yuma (1957). Really gripping western that I can’t get enough of.

Even the rope is cold 😂🤣

I am always so happy to see a new upload from y'all. Made my day. Now I am going to go back and watch all your other videos again. :)

I think it's important that they had the Martinez character have a past that suggests the possibility of serious criminal behavior. If all three were just seen as being purely innocent and being in the wrong place at the wrong time, it would leave you with too easy of a message to take away: That every person in the posse was simply a monster that can only be subject to condemnation by the viewer, as opposed to a genuine belief in a sense of justice that went awry.

One of the better cold openings of the series.

High Noon didn’t just give us Rio Bravo, but also the darker “remake” of RB, El Dorado!

Matt can say "Brett" with a New Zealand accent because of Flight of the Concords. I know because it's why I can too.

@Craig, while an oxbow is named after the shape of an ox's yoke, it is actually an old turn in a river which has dried up as the river's path shifted in a different direction. it is not a dead end.

I don't know why but this is still one of my favourite episodes that you've done. From the opening, to the episode itself, the jokes are so funny and land so well. I also love the movie itself and the message that it has. I don't even like Westerns but it's just entertaining all around.

At 7:48 the look behind newly marrieds face lol

Sweater & Socksy, a family reunion...

Give ‘Em Enough Rope! My gateway drug into both The Clash and Punk as a whole.

one of the things that always takes me back to my childhood is the music of my childhood. being in the back of the family car; a ford taurus, late at night coming home from a super boring trip to rooms2go that took all day, sitting up with no seatbelt looking out the back window, listening to rain drops keep falling on my head or songs like new york by frank sinatra and watching all the lights from the buildings, the other cars on the road, that little red brake light inside the window.

How did your show come up in my feed? And amazing that it was over a decade in. Ty RU-vid

Watching this after the last Unboxing, and I have no idea what the perceived criticism was about with regards to the movie choice. This is a fantastic episode, with more than one laugh out loud moment. I really have to wonder at the people who criticise episodes of WTTB because of the subject matter, rather than the comedy and insights of Matt and Craig. E.g. the guy who said he would skip watching the religious movie because it might offend him "as a Christian", or people who say "I don't know this movie so I don't care about this episode". You're doing a great disservice to yourself by not taking each episode as it is. Their loss, I suppose.

BJ Thomas sang Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head.

20:25 Speaking of Eastwood movies, it’s interesting how practically this entire film was condensed down and adapted as the opening sequence of “Hang ‘em High” 🤔

Top 5 western. Tremendous movie.

Ox bows are called billabongs in Australia

Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid is amazing! Paul Newman is hilarious and Robert Redford is too cool. The opening gambling and gunfire sequence is some of the best editing I've ever seen. The finale gunfight is so exhilarating with Sundance just unloading on all the officers.

You guys ever seen Killing Them Softly, dir. by Andrew Dominik? Would love to hear your thoughts, pretty recent gangster flick and a personal favorite.

The epic romance of Sweater and Socksie is one for the ages.

Wow, almost didn't notice Martinez was Anthony Quinn! Sorry for the dated comment, I was catching up with eps I missed while I was away and the bit at 10:33 just cracked me up so much, great episode guys, super funny.

A big part of my life for Henry Fonda is his lively voice! I don't remember if you spoke to it before but, given the western theme of SEENIT, I was hoping you'd talk about My Name Is Nobody. And I'd really like to see it on the show. (Maybe next western episode :( )

I don't care what you do with it, but if you haven't seen it, and it is hard to get, try watching this one. Attack and Retreat (Italian: Italiani brava gente: Russian: Они шли на Восток, ) The Italian army on the Russian front. They used to play this late at night in NY on WPIX or WOR or WNEW, cant remember which, when I was a kid back in the early 60's, on those non-syndicated channels.

7:42 Maybe Julia Andrews?

have you guys seen or heard of Cube 2?

When Margaret Hamilton shows Em and Henry in the Wizard of Oz, the letter from the sheriff allowing her to take Toto, I get the distinct impression that they it may not say that and she's counting on their inability to read.

Hey guys, loved the episode. Just wanted to ask. Seen It: The Raid Redemption?

Awesome movie.

is there a missing mic? Sound seems compressed. Also, great show. Even if the audio were always less perfect it would still be great.

Suggestion (for the millionth time) - "Flight of Dragons"

1:55 hahaha man, kitties are the best!

After seeing this movie, I was tempted to read the book. Rose plays a bigger part in the novel, Art (Harry Morgan's character) is the narrator & does a lot of the things Gil does in the movie, & if I remember correctly Art and Gil AREN'T one of the seven...there is only 5 that step across. Plus I love the shot of Sparks standing alone across the line.

An oxbow lake is a U-shaped lake that forms when a wide meander from the main stem of a river is cut off, creating a free-standing body of water. This landform is so named for its distinctive curved shape, which resembles the bow pin of an oxbow. In Australia, an oxbow lake is called a billabong, from the indigenous Wiradjuri language. In south Texas, oxbows left by the Rio Grande are called resacas. The word "oxbow" can also refer to a U-shaped bend in a river or stream, whether or not it is cut off from the main stream.

Hi Fellas, Have you seen 'Funny Money'(2006) with Chevy Chase? I rented this out on a whim and found it to be exhausting and painfully unfunny. I'd love to hear your thoughts if you've seen it. Cheers

Speaking of Bob Dylan and westerns in this episode, have either of you seen Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid. Dylan does the music for this Peckinpah.

I was surprised the deputizing scene didn't elicit some "Blazing Saddles" from you! "And repeat after me. I, your name..." "...your name..." "Schmucks! "

No mention of Anthony Quinn (he played Juan Martinez if you missed it)?

this season started pretty bad, but is getting better and better!

I only really knew Henry Fonda from the Ken Burn's PBS documentary The West.

@22:40 BJ Thomas...

100% agree with Matt about barf in modern movies. Unless it's gross-out comedy or body horror there's no need to show it.

Matt doesn’t know who Dana Andrews is. So... “The Best Years of Our Lives” and “A Walk In the Sun”, seen it (them)?

Have you guys seen the 2004 remake of Dawn of The Dead? Some may think I'm crazy but I thought it was better than the original.

At first I didn't see Cecil and I thought... Dun Dun Duuun "could the basement be haunted?

Dana Andrews took so long to show up because prunes gave him the runes. At least, that's what he said.

The Ballad of Cable Hogue by Sam Peckinpah?

I wonder if the scene with the girlfriend showing up, now married, is an analogy of the lawfullness or "right way to do things", of the judgement about to be passed on the three guys later?

YOU LET CECIL DO WHATEVER SHE WANTS! THIS IS HER SHOW!

13:55 Kurt Russell?

Ox bow = billabong

RIP King Kong Bundy

I hope they sold postcards.

♫ "Lord Loves a Hangin'. That's Why He Gave Us Necks." ♫ 5:25

You can really tell Matt lost some weight in this episode!

rip king kong bundy

No tv or HBO...ya get a hanging.

Is discussing critically-acclaimed seminal post-hardcore band Oxbow in this comments section appropriate?

Burt Bacharach doesn't have an S in it. Waiter! I don't like this conversation very much.

In the movie: Mapes = Trump

RIP King Kong Bundy
