Roger Ebert: Self - Host

Quotes 

• Roger Ebert - Host : I almost had to stop and think to even remember the name of our next movie, which is "The Squeeze". A horrible title! Who could remember a title like "The Squeeze"? Certainly not ME!

  Gene Siskel - Host : You couldn't remember- you couldn't remember a lot about The Squeeze. Go ahead.

  Roger Ebert - Host : When we had a conference call to decide- I'm gonna tell this story- we had a conference call to decide what movies to put on this show, and "The Squeeze" was mentioned, I couldn't even remember the name of the movie, I couldn't remember having seen it. They said, "You saw it Friday." I said, "Who was in it?" They said, "Michael Keaton."

  Gene Siskel - Host : You said, "What's it about?"

  Roger Ebert - Host : "Oh yeah, that movie!" Right. This movie is like, and occasionally, I have to be honest and tell you this, it doesn't make me a bad movie critic that I forgot this movie. I think I could give anyone a test, six days after they saw this movie, they'd flunk EVERY question! This movie is vapor, it just goes into your head, and evaporates. This is chewing gum for the mind! That, is an insult to chewing gum! This is one of the most insignificant, forgettable formula comedies I've ever seen, and a complete waste of the talents of Michael Keaton and Rae Dawn Chong, who are buried alive in it.
