HYSTERICAL!

Why, Gene, why?!? You were the only critic with taste! You gotta love a guy who puts Kingpin on his top 10 list. Now, we have Roeper who makes this show funny because he hates just about everything. Then there's a hilariously funny argument between the two whenever there's a split decision. I make sure to tape it every week. Funny stuff.

Trivia
Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert actually agreed about films most of the time, but since they were best known for the feuds in between, the legend grew that the two were always at odds with one another. Considering all of the films that they reviewed in their years together, they only disagreed about 30% of the time.

Quotes
Gene Siskel: [reviewing "Stargate"] Do you know that the budget, supposedly, of this picture was fifty-five million dollars?
Roger Ebert: Boy, they must've had some great lunches.
