I was thrilled to see new hosts and two that I enjoyed watching when they were part of the many who substituted for Roger Ebert. Last year, Ben Lyons, the grinning fool, was so disappointing. I hope Scott and and Phillips are permanent.

ABC-12 in Milwaukee carries the show in the middle of Sunday night -- well after the weekend movies! ugh. And sometimes it comes on later than scheduled.

Glad to see the new hosts -- REAL critics.

Ben and Ben were crap.

i tuned in today and was pleasantly surprised to find new hosts on the show. They are more pleasant than the most recent ones; less "edgty" and hip; more like the comfy old Siskel and Ebert team.

I think this is GREAT and I hope so much that the show succeeds with these two as the critics. Unlike the last two they are REAL critics with REAL things to say about film and I think their opinions will actually carry weight with a viewer much more so than the two Bens.

My only wish is that someone else other than Fox 5 here in NYC would carry the show because as it is now, it NEVER comes on because it's always getting pre-empted on Saturday evenings by stupid baseball. With the two Bens I never really cared but now I most definitely will. Move the show!

I feel like this show will be achingly beautiful.

Hey, it's gonna be "a three way"

Lyons & "Mank" had zero chemistry. I always got the impression that Mankiewicz wanted to smack Lyons during half his reviews, whether he agreed with him or not. Anyone else remember early in their tenure the "Critics Corner" segment? I knew this team was doomed from the start. Siskel & Ebert were lightning in a bottle. They've had a good run trying to continue the format after first losing Siskel, but now without Ebert? Turn out the lights, and lock the door. It's time this show was put out to pasture...


PS- Please, please, please when this team fails, for the love of God, do not bring on Robert Wilonsky as one of the hosts. I beg of you!!! I could barely tolerate Lyons goofy hipster attitude, but add Wilonsky's smarm on top of it? My eyes are bleeding just thinking about it...

Stick a fork in "At the Movies" -- it's done.

Gotta love a film critic who only sees 5 films at Sundance. But for me, Lyons wasn't half as bad as Mankiewicz.
