Double Thumbs Down — Worst 2021 Movie
A tribute poll to Gene Siskel & Roger Ebert and their televised movie review program with its annual worst movie of the year episode. The two were best known for a twenty-five year collaboration in Sneak Previews (1975), At the Movies (1982), Siskel & Ebert (1986) and their trademark "thumbs-up" or "thumbs-down" reviews. Frequently, their heated discussions over the latest movies were often more entertaining than the films themselves or even Life Itself (2014).
