172: "Before We Get Into Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah" - Fletch Lives (1989)

You didn't think it could get more racist, did you?  Well this week on Saturday Night Jive the Chevy Chase conversation continues as we tackle Fletch Lives.  This sequel to Chevy's favorite film is at the same time better and worse than the first one.  It's worse because it's arguably not a well made film but it's better for the same reason and the accidental (or purposeful) racism.  Here's a taste, Fletch has a fantasy about dancing with his slaves on his plantation.  Enjoy!

171: "Here's Another Thing About Microfiche" - Fletch (1985)

This week on Saturday Night Jive we are talking about Chevy Chase's personal favorite film.  It's Fletch from 1985 starring Chase as a bumbling newspaper reporter who acts like a detective.  When his boss asks him to write a story about drugs on the beach, Fletch is like "No way, man.  I'm gonna write a story about something else and you're gonna pay for all my plane fare".  This movie is fairly mediocore, not bad, not good but definitely not a classic like some may see it.  Here us cover everything Fletch from his disguises to his inability to work a tape recorder to his possible sexual harassment of Geena Davis.  Enjoy!

170: "The Crossover Episode" - Delgo (2008)

Ben has another podcast "Head Cannon" (available wherever you get your podcasts) so he graced us with his presence and we did a crossover episode.  Even though he would have been here anyway.  Whatever the case may be, we watched Delgo a huge box office bomb from 2008 featuring SNL alum Chris Kattan and a voice cast of people that you would not be able to recognize if their names weren't on screen.  Is there a more recognizable voice you can think of other than Freddie Prinze, Jr.?  How about Jennifer Love Hewitt?  Sally Kellerman?  This movie is about a race of lizard people and fairies who don't get along and then some stuff happens.  We pitch out an extended universe for this turd, so enjoy!
