349: "Get A Look At Them Nubs" - SNL S9E16 - Michael Douglas / Deniece Williams

March 22, 2024 18:34 - 86.3 MB

It's been said many times on this podcast, George loves him some Mary Gross.  For all you doubters out there, he proved why by forcing Ben to watch an episode of Saturday Night Live from Season 9 hosted by Michael Douglas.  Coffee infused blood, totally rad 80s music videos, busty 7 year olds, a town without feet, a host with an open headwound, and blackface.  This one has it all and we're in agreement that it's pretty solid.  You got a demonic Jim Belushi in an ice cream shop, Tim Kazurins...

348: "Motorboating Bebe Neuwirth" - Wild Palms (1993)

March 07, 2024 05:00 - 58 MB

Do you like Twin Peaks?  Then you'll be utterly confused by Wild Palms almost as confused as SNL alum James Belushi who apparently didn't understand the script so just showed up on set and read his lines.  Can't blame you, Jim.  This is an indecipherable piece of nonsense.  So the story is that ABC wanted to have another weird show to replace Twin Peaks after they ruined that show with studio meddling.  They came up with this miniseries about a guy who is looking for the lost kid of his ex-...

347: "Scarred-Up Burnt Sex" - Pay It Forward (2000)

February 29, 2024 05:00 - 71.3 MB

You want Oscars?  Get two-time Academy Award winner Kevin Spacey on the phone.  Sweeten the deal with Academy Award winner Helen Hunt.  Throw in Academy Award nominee Haley Joel Osment.  But you really looking for Oscar gold?  Then you need Jon Bon Jovi and, more importantly, SNL alum Jay Mohr.  We watched Pay It Forward from 2000, a movie that is a failure on multiple levels.  Little Haley Joel Osment tries to change the world with kindness.  His mother's a drunk, his teacher has burns all...

346: "More Bruce Vilanch References" - Mango Part Two - An SNL Recurring Character Study

February 20, 2024 20:47 - 113 MB

And we're back with yet another installment of our award winning segment ...And We're Back! where we take a deep dive into an SNL recurring character and watch all their appearances.  Last time we gathered we watched the first 10 appearances of Mango and surprisingly couldn't stay away so we're back for one more slice of that sweet, sweet Mango pie.  In this episode we watch the final 6 appearances of everyone's favorite male stripper and get some diminishing results.  Somewhere along the w...

345: "Fumble-rooni" - Necessary Roughness (1991)

January 31, 2024 05:00 - 48.7 MB

We're digging into the Rob Schneider bucket once again this week as we watched Necessary Roughness from 1991 featuring the Robmeister calling plays for a football team full of underdogs.  Let me ask you a question.  If I said I found a movie that features Scott Bakula, Kathy Ireland, Larry Miller, Robert Loggia, Sinbad, Senator Fred Thompson and of course Hector Elizondo would you think that it would be the greatest movie ever?  So did we, but we found ourselves another thoroughly mediocre ...

344: "A Disturbing Crush On Elizabeth Holmes" - Good Burger 2 (2023)

January 24, 2024 20:22 - 83.1 MB

We're finally here.  A podcast years in the making  We're finally going back for another taste of Ed's special sauce with Good Burger 2 starring Kel Mitchell and Kenan Thompson and featuring a cavalcade of SNL cameos like Leslie Jones, Pete Davidson, Ego Nwodim, Molly Kearney, Michael Longfellow, Andy Samberg, Mikey Day, Bowen Yang, and Maya Rudolph.  We also get some cameos from All That alumni as well as some old lady who thinks she's got something on Abe Vigoda and apparently Sinbad (som...

343: "Fountains Of Racist Jizz" - Mango Part One - An SNL Recurring Character Study

January 16, 2024 20:47 - 84.3 MB

And we're back with another installment of our award winning segment ...And We're Back! where we take a deep dive into an SNL recurring character and watch all their appearances.  We're also back to doing episodes of Saturday Night Jive after a hiatus that is all Garry Marshall's fault.  This week we're talking Mango played by the inimitable Chris Kattan.  This character has more layers than we anticipated.  Since there are so many SNL appearances from Mango we decided to push ourselves to ...

342: "Don't Worry Fat Kids" - Joe's Apartment (1996)

September 17, 2023 04:00 - 54.8 MB

It's Ben's pick this week on Saturday Night Jive and since he's not bound by the rules of picking movies that relate to SNL we watched the Don Ho classic Joe's Apartment from 1996.  A beautiful love story about a kid in the big city fighting against corporate greed and trying to make his way in a world that doesn't understand him.  Also there's animated roaches that annoy and ruin every scene with their sped up voices.  This movie stars Jerry O'Connell, Robert Vaughn, and the amazing thespi...

341: "Just The Times When It Really Stinks" - SNL S20E05 - Sarah Jessica Parker / R.E.M.

September 10, 2023 04:00 - 60.7 MB

You like hearing people talk about an old ass episode of SNL?  Well, this is the podcast for you!  This week on Saturday Night Jive we watched Season 20 Episode 5 hosted by Sarah Jessica Parker with musical guest R.E.M..  It's one of the worst episodes in the show's history.  This was the week where Michael O'Donoghue died and the Republicans took control of congress and the whole show feels like a liberal wake.  We got some good old fashioned SNL racism with a sketch taking place in a Fort...

340: "Gee, I Hope These Kids Bone" - Camp Nowhere (1994)

September 03, 2023 18:49 - 67.9 MB

This week on Saturday Night Jive we watched another cheat pick.  Camp Nowhere from 1994 has no SNL alums in it but it does have Christopher Lloyd as a former drama teacher who lives in a van becoming the only adult supervision to a group of Lord Of The Flies wannabes.  A bunch of shitty kids decide to start their own summer camp with no rules.  It's the horniest movie starring children you'll ever watch (but you shouldn't watch it).  Also featuring Biff from Back To The Future, M. Emmett Wa...

339: "Full Frontal Ray Romano" - Welcome To Mooseport (2004)

August 14, 2023 04:00 - 62.8 MB

This week on Saturday Night Jive George's wet dreams become a reality as we finally watch Welcome To Mooseport starring two-time SNL host Ray Romano in his feature film debut and two-time Oscar winner Gene Hackman in his final time on screen.  This 2004 comedy follows a small town handyman who runs for mayor against the former President of the United States.  It's a Frank Capra-esque movie filled with colorful locals and one naked man.  It's not very funny, it's not very entertaining, it's ...

338: "That's A Baby Worth Hunting To Death" - The Pest (1997)

August 09, 2023 15:52 - 80.7 MB

This week on Saturday Night Jive we watched the John Leguizamo classic The Pest from 1997.  John stars as the most annoying character ever put on film who is hunted by a Nazi in a spoof of The Most Dangerous Game.  This film has a small SNL connection as the director of this also directed a Saturday Night Christmas Special.  It also features that little scamp Jeffrey Jones who has made numerous appearances on this podcast since he's been in a lot of bad movies.  Here he plays a part he's pl...

337: "Sweet Sassy Molassey" - SNL S24E15 - Ray Romano / The Coors

July 24, 2023 19:01 - 70 MB

This week on Saturday Night Jive we're watching another old ass episode of SNL.  From Season 24 it's the episode hosted by Ray Romano with musical guest The Coors.  Why are we watching this one?  Well, because George is a big fan of Ray Romano and wants to watch Welcome To Mooseport so we're watching this to make that movie canonical (so stay tuned for that in 2 weeks).  Also, it's a really good episode.  Ray Romano plays Roberto Benigni, he shouts some racist catchphrases on SportsCenter, ...

336: "Shelley Winters Farting In Red Buttons's Face" - The Silence Of The Hams (1994)

July 08, 2023 04:00 - 73.2 MB

This week on Saturday Night Jive we watched the Ezio Greggio classic The Silence Of The Hams which features no SNL alum unless you count Dom Irrera who can be seen as an extra in Season 6.  We got former SNL host Charlene Tilton as well as a cavalcade of D-level celebrities we've seen in other movies like Stuart Pankin, Rip Taylor, and Eddie Deezen.  Until we finally get to see Jurassic Pork, this may be the greatest spoof movie of all time (not really).  A parody of Psycho, The Silence Of ...

335: "You Like-A Da Juice" - A Rob Schneider Hodgepodge An SNL Recurring Character Study

July 01, 2023 21:00 - 79.3 MB

And we're back with another installment of our award winning segment ...And We're Back! where we take a deep dive into an SNL recurring character and watch all their appearances.  This week we're covering a collection of recurring characters from Mr. Rob Schneider.  We could do The Richmeister, but instead we're gonna jump into the deep end and cover every installment of The Sensitive Naked Man, Out Of Africa, Hub's Gyros, and Orgasm Guy.  If that's not enough we also throw in a sketch wher...

334: "You Can't Blame The Mustache" - Surf Ninjas (1993)

June 19, 2023 04:00 - 53.1 MB

This week on Saturday Night Jive we take another dip in the Rob Schneider pool and watched Surf Ninjas from 1993.  The story of two young boys and their 30 year old friend who discover that they are actually the heirs to a kingdom on a magical ninja island.  Only one thing stands in their way, cyborg Leslie Nielsen.  With the help of a magical SEGA Game Gear and Tone Loc they complete their quest to reclaim their throne.  There's not much surfing and the ninja stuff is boring.  This is pret...

333: "Gags And Goofabouts" - Moving Violations (1985)

June 13, 2023 20:51 - 76.7 MB

This week on Saturday Night Jive we watched a movie starring Bill Murray...'s brother, not the one you're thinking of.  No, not that one either.  It's the John Murray classic Moving Violations.  Also starring Stacy Keach's brother, Meg Tilly's sister and an Academy Award worthy performance from the 'Where's The Beef?' lady.  This movie has it all.  Car chases, montages, a puppet van crashing into a funeral home, Fred Willard inspecting a lady like an automobile, an old lady sitting on a uri...

332: "Harry Eats Seattle" - Harry And The Hendersons (1987)

June 03, 2023 04:00 - 60 MB

This week on Saturday Night Jive we watched Harry And The Hendersons from 1987 starring 3-time SNL host John Lithgow and the immortal Kevin Peter Hall in a bigfoot costume.  This film left George in a world of wonder while Ben is too jaded and cynical to enjoy such whimsy.  Rick Baker won an Oscar for making a terrific character that for some reason the marketing department decided to hide from all advertisement.  You won't see Harry on the poster or in the trailers, you have to pay money t...

331: "Black Don't Crack" - SNL S20E03 - John Travolta / Seal

May 20, 2023 04:00 - 105 MB

This week on Saturday Night Jive we're watching another old ass episode of SNL.  From Season 20 it's the episode hosted by John Travolta with musical guest Seal.  Believe it or not, John Travolta is a heterosexual man but you'd be right to be confused when you see him singing as Barbra Streisand, playing gay Dracula, and wearing eyeliner as a mafia don.  This episode leads to a variety of topics including a rallying cry for human rights.  Sketches include a Staying Alive cold open, a monolo...

330: "The Sports Marketing Hall Of Fame" - Old Dogs (2009)

May 13, 2023 04:00 - 71.7 MB

This week on Saturday Night Jive we watched Old Dogs a confounding film from 2009 starring SNL hosts Robin Williams and John Travolta as well as Matt Dillon, I realize I'm just clinging to the fact that our podcast is tangentially SNL related anymore but we'll get back to the show next week when we watch John Travolta host the show.  But first, Old Dogs.  How to describe this movie?  It's like The Cat In The Hat on steroids.  Nothing makes any logical sense and then you're at boy scout camp...

329: "Grace Kelly Farts" - SNL S35E06 - January Jones / Black Eyed Peas

May 06, 2023 02:13 - 72.6 MB

This week on Saturday Night Jive we're watching a notorious episode of Saturday Night Live.  It's Season 35 Episode 6 hosted by January Jones with musical guest Black Eyed Peas.  The lovely Miss Jones was starring on an Emmy winning television show at the time so one would only assume she could hold her own on a live sketch comedy show.  All that hope died when she audibly asks what camera she should look at in her first sketch appearance.  What follows is a lot of farts, a lot of gay panic...

328: "Let's Look Through My Ass" - Ed (1996)

May 01, 2023 18:43 - 79.1 MB

This week on Saturday Night Jive we watched Ed from 1996 starring Matt LeBlanc and a guy in a monkey suit.  No SNL alum in this piece of shit but there's nothing in the rule book that says an SNL podcast can't watch a movie about a monkey playing baseball that doesn't have an SNL cast member in it.  Matt LeBlanc is actually the only Friends star who never hosted SNL and there was an episode of SNL where Jim Breuer played Matt LeBlanc holding a monkey, so there's your SNL connections.  A dud...

327: "Kate Beckinsale's Lucky Hat" - Tiptoes (2003)

April 22, 2023 18:10 - 61.2 MB

This week on Saturday Night Jive we watched Tiptoes starring Gary Oldman as a dwarf.  It's a nonsensical film about Matthew McConaughey who is the only non-dwarf in a family of dwarves and he's about to get married to Kate Beckinsale (who sometimes wears a hat).  She doesn't know anything about his family and freaks out when she realizes her soon-to-be-born child might be a dwarf.  So she confronts him at fire fighting training camp, he brings two whores to a dwarf party, David Alan Grier f...

326: "A Baby Is Not A Queef" - No Holds Barred (1989)

March 31, 2023 04:00 - 86.9 MB

This week on Saturday Night Jive we watched the 1989 classic No Holds Barred otherwise known as the single greatest movie ever made.  Starring one-time SNL host Hulk Hogan (check out episode 206 of our podcast for a full rundown of his Season 10 episode) and written by Hulk and WWF president Vince McMahon, this movie is either accidentally brilliant or intentionally brilliant (we can't tell) but it is without a doubt the greatest movie in film history.  Hulk plays Rip, the most popular wres...

325: "Let Your Mom F**k Chevy Chase" - Man Of The House (1995)

March 24, 2023 04:00 - 54.3 MB

This week on Saturday Night Jive we're talking about the 1995 family comedy Man Of The House starring SNL alum Chevy Chase.  After a string of flops (see our episodes on Nothing But Trouble and Cops And Robbersons) Chevy didn't want to do another film but eventually agreed to sign on because he liked the dramatic elements of the script.  One could argue that there shouldn't be dramatic elements in the script of a movie that has Chevy Chase and George Wendt doing a rain dance.  This is not t...

324: "Phantom Farts" - Second Sight (1989)

March 16, 2023 21:21 - 58.5 MB

This week on Saturday Night Jive we're talking about the 1989 classic Second Sight starring two people who hosted SNL.  Bronson Pinchot and John Larroquette star in this comedy about a detective and a psychic trying to solve a case of a missing cardinal.  Don't worry, Stuart Pankin is in the film too.  It's a big old pile of crazy.  Enjoy!

323: "An Orifice Of Your Choice" - Tremors 3 Back To Perfection (2001)

March 01, 2023 22:27 - 55.9 MB

This week on Saturday Night Jive we're watching Tremors 3: Back To Perfection.  Why?  Because SNL alum Mary Gross plays Tourist Mom, probably the most respected role in her filmography.  This direct to DVD sequel has Michael Gross (brother to Mary) shooting graboids and ass blasters with the help of a plucky sidekick and a lady who runs a convenience store.  This is te first Tremors film for George while Ben has seen the entire film series and TV show.  The promise of tremors flying with th...

322: "He's A Big Fat Ugly Guy" - Bogus (1996)

February 20, 2023 15:56 - 62.2 MB

This week on Saturday Night Jive we're doing another cheat pick.  There are no SNL alums in the 1996 film Bogus but we watched it anyway.  It does feature Andrea Martin who is related to SNL alum Martin Short and was offered a spot on Season 10 (according to rumors) so that counts, right?  This movie stars a pre-Sixth Sense Haley Joel Osment who creates an imaginary friend after his mother dies.  The imaginary friend is played by big fat Gerard DePardieu who is not funny, charming, or imagi...

321: "Slapping On Condoms In A Dank Basement" - Trojan War (1997)

February 11, 2023 05:00 - 63.3 MB

This week on Saturday Night Jive we're talking the Anthony Michael Hall classic from 1997 Trojan War.   This movie is most famous for at one time being the lowest grossing movie of all time, making a hefty $309 at the U.S. box office.  If you ask us, around 60 theater goers are owed a refund and we've started a class action suit to get their $4.59 back.  Will Friedle from Boy Meets World really wants to fuck Marley Shelton, there's just one problem.  He doesn't have a condom!  So he goes on ...

320: "Joey Baloney" - The Big Bus (1976)

February 04, 2023 05:00 - 66.5 MB

This week on Saturday Night Jive we watched a film that parodies the disaster movie genre that was all the rage in the 1970s.  No, not Airplane!, it's The Big Bus from 1976 starring Stockard Channing, Joey Baloney, Richard Mulligan, the guy who played Richard Mulligan's partner in A Fine Mess, Rene Auberjonis, Sally Kellerman, Ned Beatty, Harold Gould, Larry Hagman, Murph from The Blues Brothers, and one-time oldest SNL host Ruth Gordon.  This movie came out 4 years before Airplane!, shares ...

319: "That's The Thing" - Brain Donors (1992) / Babylon (2022)

January 28, 2023 05:00 - 48.8 MB

This week on Saturday Night Jive we're talking about the 1992 comedy Brain Donors.  There are no SNL alum in this film but it was directed by Dennis Dugan who after watching Problem Child, Beverly Hills Ninja, I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry, You Don't Mess With The Zohan, Grown Ups, Jack And Jill, and Grown Ups 2 feels like an honorary member of our family.  This is a "remake" of The Marx Brothers film A Night At The Opera (with a little bit of A Day At The Races thrown in) starring John...

318: "We Saved You With Farts" - K-911 (1999)

January 25, 2023 19:55 - 64.4 MB

Ten years after K-9 took cinemas by storm, a direct-to-video sequel was made.  This week on Saturday Night Jive we're finally digging into this trilogy, of course we start with the second one, because we're dumb.  It's K-911 starring an old dog and SNL alum Jim Belushi.  A crazed author is out for revenge on the husband of the woman who rejected his manuscript (because he fell in love with the rejection letter, it's stupid, we talk about it).  Belushi must get a new partner, who has her own...

317: "But I Put It In My Mouth" - Zardoz (1974)

January 15, 2023 16:44 - 64.9 MB

This week on Saturday Night Jive we're breaking format and doing another cheat pick.  It's Ben's favorite movie Zardoz from 1974 starring frequent SNL impersonation Sean Connery as a brutal who chases down a fake god living in a giant head (or something).  It's certainly a movie, and you can't say it isn't.  Enjoy!

316: "A Bunch Of White Guys Eating Cheese" - SNL S23E10 - Samuel L Jackson / Ben Folds Five

December 27, 2022 20:22 - 97 MB

This week on Saturday Night Jive we're watching the episode of SNL that crushed a young George's childhood.  So excited he was to enter a new year with his favorite show.  One of his idols, Chris Farley, died over the holiday break but one of his favorite actors Samuel L. Jackson is hosting with one of his favorite bands Ben Folds Five and of course he would laugh hysterically at Weekend Update, anchored by his comedic deity Norm MacDonald.  What's this?  Colin fucking Quinn?  This is the f...

315: "Poop Fairy" - RV (2006)

December 03, 2022 05:00 - 66.8 MB

There may not be any SNL alums in RV from 2006 but that didn't stop us from pulling out a good old cheat pick.  Former SNL hosts Robin Williams, Jeff Daniels, and Josh Hutcherson star in this road trip comedy directed by the guy who gave us Nine Lives, Barry Sonnenfeld.  There is an awful lot of poop in this one, and it covers the late, great Robin Williams.  Does this movie rule as hard as Ernest Goes To Jail?  How's the chatter on those Arrested Development message boards?  And should you...

314: "I'm Gonna F**k This Dog Man" - Walk Like A Man (1987)

November 26, 2022 04:57 - 63.7 MB

We watched Walk Like A Man starring Howie Mandel as Bobo, a man who was raised by wolves.  He's found by an anthropologist right before he's about to inherit millions of dollars from his rich and deceased father, but not if a very bored looking Christopher Lloyd has anything to do with it.  There are no SNL alums in this movie but it felt like a movie we should watch for the podcast.  But we do talk about Weird: The Al Yankovic Story featuring SNL alum Will Forte.  Enjoy! Full archive of al...

313: "Farts, Farts, And More Farts" - Superhero Movie (2008)

November 19, 2022 05:00 - 62 MB

We watched Superhero Movie from 2008 featuring SNL alum Tracy Morgan as Professor X, in a scene that was forced into the film by everyone's favorite sex magnet Harvey Weinstein.  We're surprisingly torn on this film.  George thinks it's hilarious and a diamond in the rough when it comes to spoof movies.  Ben thinks it's just an average comedy.  But the one thing we can all agree upon is that it's got one hell of a fart coming out of Marion Ross's ass.  So, Enjoy! Full archive of all podcast...

312: "Can We Stop Talking About The Try Guys?" - Taking Care Of Business (1990)

November 12, 2022 05:00 - 56 MB

For some reason, in 1990 they remade the terrible film The Couch Trip.  Remember that movie we watched and didn't like starring Dan Aykroyd where he switched places with Charles Grodin and priest suits were involved?  Well, they did it again just a few years later with Jim Belushi taking over Grodin's life and they called it Taking Care Of Business.  We had high hopes for this one.  I mean, the poster has Belushi riding atop an automobile so how could that be a bad movie?  Turns out it's a ...

311: "Cheap And Stupid" - Cabin Boy (1994)

November 06, 2022 01:25 - 60.5 MB

We watched Cabin Boy from 1994 starring SNL alum Chris Elliott.  Both of us are big fans of most all of Elliott's work from Get A Life to Action Family to There's Something About Mary to his short lived stint on Saturday Night Live and Eagleheart as well as his novels.  Everything the man has ever done has been hilarious...except his only starring vehicle, Cabin Boy.  A critical and commercial failure originally intended as a directorial vehicle for Tim Burton.  Chris Elliott and his writin...

310: "Protruding Bone Situation" - Carol An SNL Recurring Character Study

October 24, 2022 04:00 - 78.1 MB

And we're back with another installment of our award winning segment ...And We're Back! where we take a deep dive into an SNL recurring character and watch all their appearances.  This week we're covering a very divisive character from a very divisive human being.  It's Carol! starring Horatio Sanz in a dress.  She's a big, crude, loud woman who loves ordering off the menu, taking dumps, smoking blunts, and most especially alluring men with her wit and charm.  Enjoy as we cover every Carol!...

309: "Nobody's Favorite Movie Is Blankman" - Blankman (1994)

October 18, 2022 22:07 - 54.9 MB

We watched Blankman from 1994 starring SNL alum Damon Wayans and if you pay close attention you'll see fellow SNL alum Gilbert Gottfried on the TV in the background of one scene.  This movie also has SNL hosts Jason Alexander and David Alan Grier (who should have been an SNL cast member) as well as Mike Tyson's girlfriend and Jon Polito.  This was originally intended to be a movie starring Howard Stern as his Fartman character but got retooled into a movie that is neither a good comedy nor ...

308: "Did You Think About The Daddys?" - Chairman Of The Board (1998)

October 05, 2022 17:54 - 74.4 MB

Why did we watch Chairman Of The Board starring prop comic Carrot Top?  Many reasons, 1 - we're dumb and do dumb things, 2 - Norm MacDonald referenced it on a talk show once, 3 - It's got the great Larry Miller in it (who is kind of an honorary Saturday Night Jive alum at this point).  Carrot Top's big screen debut took the world by storm in 1998 and over 20 years later we watched it and talked about it.  Enjoy! Full archive of all podcast episodes available at saturdaynightjive.blogspot.co...

307: "Yabba Dabba Doo Bitches" - The Flintstones (1994)

September 19, 2022 20:36 - 54.9 MB

Apparently Laraine Newman is in The Flintstones.  I just watched the movie and I don't believe it.  Supposedly she's on the TV in the background of a scene playing news reported Susan Rock, an exceptionally funny pun.  We watched the live action adaptation of a cartoon nobody cares about starring 13 time SNL host John Goodman and the sexy and enchanting star of Exit To Eden, Rosie O'Donnell.  It's a terROCKic conversation for a FLINTastic movie.  Enjoy! Full archive of all podcast episodes...

306: "The Maid Has Big Boobs" - Clue (1985)

September 02, 2022 04:00 - 61.8 MB

We're talking Clue this week on Saturday Night Jive.  Starring an all star cast that includes Tim Curry, Christopher Lloyd, Madeline Kahn, Martin Mull, Colleen Camp's cleavage, Howard Hesseman, and SNL alum Michael McKean.  Heralded as a cult classic, we found it to be a huge disappointment.  The most interesting thing about this is the fact that it was released in theaters with three different endings.  The home video release includes all three endings stitched together.  A bizarre marketi...

305: "The F**k Heard Round The World" - SNL S06E11 - Charlene Tilton / Todd Rundgren / Prince

August 27, 2022 22:32 - 64.1 MB

This week on Saturday Night Jive we're watching another classic SNL episode from the notorious Season 6.  Lorne Michaels leaves the show and takes the cast and writers with him.  When the show comes back they've hired an all-star cast that includes Joe Piscopo, Gilbert Gottfried, Denny Dillon, Ann Risley, and of course, Charlie "Mutha-fuckin" Rocket.  This is the episode where it all came screeching to a halt.  Dallas star Charlene Tilton hosts with musical guests Todd Rundgren and "new tal...

304: "What's Wrong With A Queef, Boy?" - Disaster Movie (2008)

August 15, 2022 04:00 - 93.2 MB

We're cheating again on this week's episode of Saturday Night Jive, but do you call it cheating when we hate winning?  We watched Disaster Movie from 2008 which features no SNL alums (but does reference SNL related movie You Don't Mess With The Zohan, along with every other movie that came out in 2008).  A few years ago we watched Epic Movie featuring Darrell Hammond so we decided (for some dumb reason) to go back to the well of Friedberg and Seltzer for another scoop of fun.  This movie su...

303: "Pat Morita Dropkicks A Car" - Collision Course (1989)

August 10, 2022 12:29 - 47.3 MB

Welcome back to Saturday Night Jive where we talk about Saturday Night Live and Saturday Night Live related movies.  Except for this week, it's another freebie pick as we watched Collision Course starring Jay "Poopy Butt" Leno and Pat Morita.  This movie has no SNL connections but just felt like a movie we should have watched by now.  Jay and Pat are two buddy cops on the hunt for a stolen turbo charger and...some stuff happens.  It's a 90 minute movie with 2 or 3 great scenes.  Tom Noonan ...

302: "Track Of Thought" - Death Wish (1974)

Welcome back to Saturday Night Jive.  This week we're talking Death Wish from 1974 starring Charles Bronson and a young Christopher Guest (who was a cast member on SNL, look it up).  This is a different type of movie than we normally cover, we usually don't deal with as many graphic rape scenes.  So, this isn't the usual comedy cavalcade we routinely bring you, instead it's a dissection of a film that spawned violent sequels and real acts of violence.  Should it still be watched in modern s...

301: "The Old Fake Beard In The Garbage Trick" - A Billion For Boris (1984)

300: "Pisco-pullin" - Wise Guys (1986)

July 14, 2022 04:00 - 84.9 MB

It's our 300th episode!  And we're celebrating by doing this act of stupidity in person for the first time since 2020.  We watched Brian De Palma's 1986 "comedy" Wise Guys starring SNL alum Joe Piscopo and 5-timers club member Danny DeVito as well as the feature film debut of Captain Lou Albano and his giant underpants.  It was a piece of shit so we spend most of the episode talking about other crappy movies we've seen like Jurassic World: Dominion, Lightyear, and Elvis (featuring frequent ...
