In anticipation of our 4th of July party...

To celebrate our country's 232nd anniversary, here's a peak behind the curtain at one of our national institutions: "At The Movies". Gene Siskel & Roger Ebert hosted the show together for 17 years, from 1982 until Siskel's death in 1999. The two's pointed jabs at each other on the show always hinted at their off-screen feelings for each other -- after watching the clip below, we feel we have a better understanding of their dynamic: Siskel was a drunk, Ebert was kind of a douche, and neither of them had any idea that their off-the-cuff behind-the-scenes behavior would ever been seen outside of their own studio.

Make sure to watch this clip all the way to the end!
