Kull the Conqueror
The Peacemaker
U-Turn
Playing God
Mortal Kombat: Annihilation
Mousehunt
If I had the shows, Terry, they would already be up. I hope one day this will happen!
Me too which is why it is just frustrating because I’m just such a huge Siskel & Ebert fan
This year is missing 19 out of 52 episodes according to thetvdb. The boys did not miss a week this year and aside from the specials in January, they were all regular movie review episodes.

There is two episodes I discovered on Internet Archive that maybe of interest:
S11E23 Dante’s Peak/SubUrbia/The Beautician and the Beast/Rosewood/The Whole Wide World (2/8/1997) – https://archive.org/details/capture-a-0_202102
S11E25 The Empire Strikes Back: Special Edition/When We Were Kings/Blood & Wine/Lost Highway/Margaret’s Museum (2/22/1997) – https://archive.org/details/capture-a-5_202102

A new 1997 one- Dante’s Peak, Beautician and the Beast
Another new 1997 episode reviewing “Blood & Wine” and “Lost Highway.”

Thanks, Jordan! I am checking on it now! I will give you credit for the find when I post it in two weeks!
I decided to take that video Jordan sent the link on and recreate it! Edited and remastered the audio. It’s on my BitChute channel now. Larry, you can Al enhanced that video, too and give credit to both him and yours truly.
Siskel & Ebert: 6-29-97:

Sounds good Joseph. I appreciate that! It was downloaded just now.
New Episode with “Breakdown”; “Warriors of Virtue”; “Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery”; “Truth or Consequences, NM”; “Commandments” and a “Video Pick of the Week” with “Duel”.

Hey Joseph! Much appreciated!!
Hi Joseph, many thanks for the upload, I hope someday you’ll have the next episode with Father’s Day and The Fifth Element.
I hope to find that one, too if Don Gorelick aka “Oakley Tapes” ever posted several recordings on Internet Archive. I’ll be able to grab them.
Hi, I see you uploaded the episode with Father’s Day and The Fifth Element on your site, hopefully looking forward to more episodes from 1997 if Oakley Tapes has them,
BTW, ”Two enormous thumbs way down for Underworld (1997)” is actually a hilarious take on that film, I’m surprised that didn’t make their list for the worst films of 1997, Ebert obviously had to endure Year Of The Horse whilst Siskel had to suffer through Jungle 2 Jungle that year.
I appreciate you posting a message! I need to go back tall the links on this page and make sure I didn’t miss anything. Thanks, old fashion guy!
New episode with “Night Falls on Manhattan”; “The Second Jungle Book: Mowgli & Baloo”; “Love! Valour! Compassion!”; “Sprung”; “A Chef in Love” and a “Video Pick of the Week” with “Extreme Measures” (1996).

Hey Joseph, I appreciate that, especially when Siskel & Ebert are involved. The views drop when S & E are not in the show, sadly.
One New Episode with “Kiss The Girls” review along with “The Matchmaker”, “U-Turn”, “The Locusts” and “”Fast, Cheap & Out of Control”.
I just downloaded it, Joseph. I appreciate it! I will have up next Sunday. I am putting up one of Hank’s tomorrow.
Also, another 1997 episode with reviews of “Father’s Day”; “The Fifth Element”; “Twin Town”; “Underworld” (1997) and “Children of the Revolution” Plus, a “Video Pick of the Week” for “Blood & Wine” (1996).
I just downloaded it, Joseph. Thanks! I’m surprised I don’t have it!!
I can’t access BitChute now because I am in the United Kingdom and the new Online Safety Act has blocked all users and surfers (not the water sport thing) in the UK from seeing that website which sadly means your videos of the Ebert & Roeper / Siskel & Ebert editions as unviewable to where I live though I am not that far from Eire (ROI). Very sad for me as a true S&E fan.
Hi James, Can you see the videos on this website?
Only on BitChute that I don’t see the videos. I am relieved this website has not been blocked in the UK. So yes I can still watch the videos from here. Pity I can’t go and see JoeCool85 on Bitchute anymore due to the ridiculous Online Safety Act.
