161: "If You Think It's Poop, Give It A Taste" - The Year Without A Santa Claus (2006)

Our final 5 timers club member John Goodman is our subject this week and did you know that in 2006 he starred as Santa in a live action television adaptation of The Year Without A Santa Claus?  Also featuring SNL alums Michael McKean as Snow Miser and Chris Kattan as Sparky the Elf, this film is cheap, horribly edited, nonsensical at most points but also has a charm all its own.  It's not a good film by any means but it's pleasant.  How does Santa make a profit?  Why is the magical telescope coin operated?  How many mottos can one man have?  Did Chris Kattan have pinkeye?  All these questions and more on this week's Saturday Night Jive.  Enjoy!
