On this week’s episode, join Brett Arnold and guest co-host Jason Bailey, author of Fun City Cinema: New York City and the Movies that Made It, as they take you through the first-ever televised appearance of Siskel & Ebert, on public access television in Chicago, in November 1975.
The first iteration of the program was titled 'Opening Soon At A Theater Near You' with Roger Ebert & Gene Siskel.
Not just one but *two* future-classic movies were discussed on the episode as well as several that have been largely lost to time.
This episode covers Miloš Forman's 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest' and Sidney Lumet's 'Dog Day Afternoon.'
