Extra Credit Reading for 1984

This week’s primary piece of recommended reading is, of course, our guest Matt Singer’s new book Opposable Thumbs: How Sickle & Ebert Changed Movies Forever, which is out now! You can buy it here! You can also read excerpts from the book here and here, and his interview with our old friend Scott Tobias here.

If you want more of Siskel & Ebert, Josh Schollmeyer’s oral history Enemies, A Love Story, a Kindle single, is quite good, as is Brian Raftery’s podcast Gene and Roger. And, of course, there’s Ebert’s memoir Life Itself, and Steve James’s wonderful documentary adaptation of it.
