Quotes
Gene Siskel - Host: [Gene's final words in the series] Back to James Woods: Two weeks ago, I said he deserves a best actor nomination for another high energy performance he gave this past year, in the film "John Carpenter's Vampires". I lamented that Woods has unfairly received only one Oscar nomination in his career, twelve years ago for "Salvador". Well, that's true in the Best Actor category, but I forgot that Woods was also nominated in the Best Supporting Actor category just two years ago for "Ghost of Mississippi".

Season 13, Episode 20

This week's episode has the two critics reviewing AT FIRST SIGHT, ANOTHER DAY IN PARADISE, HI-LO COUNTRY, PLAYING BY HEART and THE THEORY OF FLIGHT. If you're a fan of the show then you probably know that this would turn out to be Siskel's last apperance as he would sadly pass away less than a month after this aired. I remember watching this show when it first aired and I had known Siskel had been sick but when news broke a few weeks later that Gene had died.... What a shock it was. You really can't view this episode today without thoughts going through the back of your mind. As far as the reviews go, they are the high quality that you'd expect and the discussion on them was a lot of fun as well. The show would obviously go on but it would never match what Gene and Roger were able to do.
