Michael Phillips: Self - Co-Host, Self - Guest Host

Quotes 

• Michael Phillips : [after Roeper gives "Hell Ride" a positive review]  Rich, the late Joey Bishop would come back from the grave and say, "Son, nyuck!" This film doesn't work as, you know, jokey sadism. It doesn't work as a straight action picture. Uh... did you... did you really see it?

  Richard Roeper : I did see it.

  [later in the review] 

  Richard Roeper : I wish I had a Chevy Nova and a drive-in and I'd go see it again.

• Richard Roeper : If there's one movie from 2008 you should avoid at all costs, that movie would be "Funny Games". The fact that it features fine performances, talented direction, and some moments of genuine suspense only make the end product that much more grotesque, and appalling.

  [later in the review] 

  Michael Phillips : Well, I think it's a date movie, Richard, as long as you're da... as long as you're dating... Charles Manson, or Squeaky Fromme, or something.

• [reviewing "10,000 BC"] 

  Michael Phillips : It's like an insane mash up between "Ice Age 2" and "Apocalypto", two movies that aren't really as much fun as this one, *I say*. It's about 10,000 pounds of cheese on a cracker, and Richard, now and then, know what I'm in the mood for? 10,000 *pounds of cheese* on a cracker.
