Siskel and Ebert Discuss Their Rivalry in a 1982 Radio Interview

Listen to a fun conversation with Siskel & Ebert as they discuss their film criticism rivalry, which was carried out on television and in their opposing Chicago newspaper movie reviews for decades. At the time of this interview, in 1982, they had just moved from their public television show Sneak Previews to their nationally syndicated show At the Movies, and they explained why they moved. Terry Gross asks many interesting questions about their professional rivalry and their methods of movie criticism. They also discuss some film trends of the time, including schlocky kung fu movies, slasher films, guilty pleasures, and some of the better films they'd recently seen. They do get into a good analysis of violence in films in which Ebert invokes his first rule of cinema: "It's not what a movie is about, it's how it is about it."
