Who Were Siskel and Ebert?

from Dirt Nap City - History's Most Interesting Dead People · host Dirt Nap City

When it comes to the kings of movie reviews, no one comes close to Siskel and Ebert. The duo brought movie reviews to the masses with their syndicated television shows and "thumbs up" or "thumbs down" rating system. But despite their success and popularity, they were not really great friends - in fact, they often berated one another during their reviews of films on which they disagreed. But many people found their sniping and heckling one another to be the charm and entertaining part of the show.
