The passing of Roger Ebert on Thursday — 14 years after Siskel's death — has the Internet feeling nostalgic for vintage clips of the opinionated duo.

A YouTube clip first posted in 2008 shows some classic behind-the-scenes bickering between the film critics. Prepare for a flashback to the early days of Siskel and Ebert by pushing play above.
