This week Siskel and Ebert reviewed:
 * 1) Touch and Go - Two thumbs up
 * 2) 'night Mother - Two thumbs down
 * 3) Blue Velvet - A spilt vote (Gene Up, Roger Down)
 * 4) Where the River Runs Black - A spilt vote (Roger Up, Gene Down)

Trivia

 * This was the first show under the new title "Siskel & Ebert", plus it was the first syndicated show. Previously the show had been on PBS and was titled "At the Movies".

Quotes

 * Ebert: (about "'night mother") This is Death Comes to the Galloping gourmet.
 * Siskel: (about "'night mother") Look, no one wants to see someone as sweet as Sissy Spacek commit suicide and so our hearts naturally go out to her during this picture but it's just a little bit because neither of these characters seems lifelike.
 * Siskel: Michael Keaton is more than just a cut-up here, he plays the character quite real.
