Fun and quick read about the guys who made watching arguments entertaining. 👍🏼 I always enjoyed “Siskel & Ebert” — they were smart, sharp and opinionated. In this bio Siskel comes across as a jerk, though. 👎🏼 The “pranks” he played on Ebert behind the scenes weren‘t very funny — it sounds more like bullying to me. 😖 Thanks to @JoeMo and #AuldLangSpine for putting this one on my radar!
I loved this book! It was like revisiting nostalgia which was reaffirmed for being as good if not more awesome than I remembered it! I loved these guys growing up and would often end up watching their syndicated show after the late-night talk shows went off the air on Fridays. These guys genuinely loved movies and enjoyed sharing their love and criticism of film with the world. They despised one another but came to respect and love each other
Of the two 5🌟 books I read in December, the other was Gangsters Don't Die by Tod Goldberg, this was the one I liked best, it was a nostalgia rush. They were movies for me growing up, their reviews and opinions shaped the movies I saw and those I skipped. I didn't always agree with them, but their show was always lively and well informed.

127/150 Before IMDb or Rotten Tomatoes, there was Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert, THE gold standard in movie criticism. I followed their show from its roots at a local Chicago PBS station, then on to syndication to a national audience. I didn't always agree with their reviews, but I admired their love of movies, and the intelligent and thoughtful way their expressed their opinion. Their cantankerous, combative and competitive ⬇️⬇️
