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

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 Turturro, the guy who ran the torture machine in The Princess Bride, and some other dude as analogs for Groucho, Chico and Harpo.  It's an odd movie with a few decent gags but you're ultimately left with the feeling of "why didn't I just watch a Marx Brothers movie?".  If we didn't have enough to talk about with this oddity we also discuss Damien Chazelle's Babylon featuring SNL alum Chloe Fineman in a small role.  It's one of our favorite films of 2022 that has an ending that left us both stumped.  Enjoy!

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

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 dog, and of course also has a crush on our hero, to solve the case.  For a direct to video sequel of a movie you probably didn't see 10 years ago, it's not that bad.  Not saying it's the greatest thing we've ever watched but there was some slight fun to be had in Jim Belushi working out with his dog, picking up dog poop, and of course smelling some doggy farts.  Does a silent-but-deadly count when it comes to Mr. Skids?  Don't worry, we get in to the legitimacy of dog farts.  Enjoy!

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

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

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 first episode after Norm was fired from Update, although he's still on the show doing a pitch perfect Quentin Tarantino impression.  Sit back and enjoy two brothers talking about a show only one of them likes.  Sketches include a Bill Clinton cold open, Samuel L. Jackson's New Years resolutions, Publisher's Clearing House Giveaway, Quentin Tarantino: A Profile, Jazzterpieces, Judge Judy, George Clooney, Titanic, Mango, The Learning Annex, and Poolside Lovin' plus Ben Folds Five plays Brick and Harry Caray on Update.  Enjoy!

315: "Poop Fairy" - RV (2006)

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 ever see the shit?  These questions and more on this week's episode of Saturday Night Jive.  Enjoy!

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

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!

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

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!
