Well, context is important. He's certainly not the last movie critic--many greats still exist--but he's definitely the last of his kind. But times have changed; he, and Siskel, existed at the exact right time in the exact right place. They were magic, and that kind of magic is hard to find anymore.

Very well said! And I couldn't agree more. We still have good film critics, but none like Siskel or Ebert--true unique voices. But, the landscape has changed--they lived at the right place at the right time. Truly magical.
Cannot wait until this is on a platform where I can watch it
I have bored/annoyed my wife many times opining on how Ebert, and Siskel, represented a type of critic all but gone today, and pretty much entirely eliminated from film criticism in particular: a true eccentric, with a consistent POV
They're both the best--as a Chicagoan, I grew up on him. I have reviews of his memorized by heart, no joke.
I'm thrilled beyond words to share my next film: THE LAST MOVIE CRITIC.
This has been a passion project for years and it's deeply meaningful to me--I grew up on Roger; he had a profound influence on my life, and is responsible for getting me into movies.
World premiere 4/17 at the final Ebertfest!

The first Bad Batch miniseries was good fun, but you can tell @michaelmoreci.bsky.social & @reesehanniganart.bsky.social want to outdo themselves. From the opening issue of Rogue Agents, I think they very well could! #TheBadBatch
Will be reading Alyssa Wong & Sara Pichelli's Boba issue later!
