205: "We Liked Stacey's Boobs" - Hail Ceaser (1994)

 Merry Christmas, we brought you the gift of Anthony Michael Hall in his directorial debut Hail Caesar from 1994.  Not the Coen Brothers movie, but a movie about a huge jerk who gets everything he wants in life.  A wannabe rock star names Julius Caesar (yep, his real name) makes a bet with his girlfriend's father that he can make $100,000 in 6 months, if he loses he can never see his lady love again.  This is apparently based on a story by Mark Twain, but I don't remember Robert Downey Jr. in The Prince And The Pauper.  We also get Samuel L. Jackson as a mailman, Frank Gorshin doing Clark Gable impressions, needless dutch angles, bat shit crazy performances, horrible music, and a girl with big boobs.  Enjoy!

204: "More Farts, Please!" - Daddy Day Camp (2007)

Not since we watched Grand Daddy Day Care have we seen a movie as lazy as Daddy Day Camp.  The second in the greatest film trilogy in this galaxy, this film follows Cuba Gooding Jr. (replacing Eddie Murphy and playing the same character) as he forgets everything he learned from the first movie and applies it to running a camp.  Even though he establishes in the first scene that he hates camp, he buy a camp in the second scene.  Lots of poop, farts, and vomit in this one.  It also has a scene with SNL alum Brian Doyle-Murray which is why we watched it for our stupid podcast.  Enjoy!

203: "Look To Your Left, Look To Your Right, One Of You Will Eat Poop" - Young Doctors In Love (1982)

And of course, Hector Elizondo appears in Young Doctors In Love.  We've covered a few Garry Marshall movies but this is the only one at least one of us enjoyed.  A split decision on this as George thinks it's an absurd delight and Ben thinks it's a tonal mess.  Starring SNL alum Michael McKean this movie features Taylor Negron selling pills to MacGyver, Hector Elizondo in drag, Dabney Coleman getting punched in the face, a dwarf doctor, nurses with big tits, and Sean Young.  Garry Marshall loved him some comic bits, which begs the question, is this what The Other Sister starring Juliette Lewis as a mentally challenged teenager like?  We may never know since nobody who has ever been on SNL is in that film.  Damn the rules of our podcast!  Enjoy!

202: "The Bus To Magic Ninja Island" - Beverly Hills Ninja (1997)

We're watching Beverly Hills Ninja starring SNL alums Chris Farley and Chris Rock.  A young baby washes up on the shores of a magical ninja island and defies the laws of nature vs. nurture by growing up to be a big fat guy.  The last film released during Chris Farley's lifetime is also Christian Bale's favorite movie, for some reason.  We question the mechanics of magic ninja island, Dennis Dugan's directing prowess and the real mystery of this movie, what's the deal with that racist hotel manager and how does he play into all of this.  Enjoy!

201: "Chekhov's Magic Sex Bee" - Leonard Part 6 (1987)

So, you know how we watch movies featuring Saturday Night Live cast members?  Well, we didn't do that this week.  In honor of our 201st episode, Ben picked the movie and he could pick whatever he wanted so we watched Leonard Part 6 starring the world's most prolific rapist Bill Cosby who has never even hosted SNL.  Wait a minute, was Joe Don Bakker part of the season 6 cast?  Let me check.  No.  Sadly, Joe Don Bakker has never gotten the call from Lorne.  Ah well, it's our bicentennial so we can do whatever the hell we watched.  With all that freedom, what did we do?  We watched Bill Cosby throw magic hotdogs at shirtless henchmen.  We make good decisions.  Enjoy!

200: "Mad About You Aliens" - Season 20 Episode 15 - Paul Reiser/Annie Lennox

 

It's the 200th episode of Saturday Night Jive so we're going back to our roots and talking about an episode of SNL from the famed and disastrous season 20.  Paul Reiser hosts with musical guest Annie Lennox.  We get homophobic sketches, racist sketches, sexist sketches, sketches involving rape, sodomy and superheros, a sketch stolen by Jay Mohr from another comedian, a piss poor Jeff Foxworthy impression, Chris Farley in a fez, and quite possibly the dumbest sketch SNL has ever aired (hint: it involves an alien).  Hang with us as we relive George's pick for Worst Episode Ever.  Enjoy!

199: "You Go In The Allen Covert Pile" - Zookeeper (2011)

We're talking Zookeeper starring Kevin James, Rosario Dawson, Joe Rogan, Leslie Bibb and SNL alums Maya Rudolph, Adam Sandler and Jim Breuer as talking animals that don't really factor into the plot as much as you'd think they would.  This film is about a lonely zookeeper trying to get his ex-girlfriend back.  Oh, and he also learns that animals can speak and have been able to do so from the beginning of time, but that doesn't phase him as he's got other stuff to deal with.  Fatty falls down a lot in a film that is not as bad as it seems but mostly because of Sandler as a talking monkey.  How can Rosario Dawson resist a man as sexually dynamic as Kevin James?  Is Joe Rogan an actor?  Should animals lust over our human women?  Will George's outdated views get him banned from SNL in the future?  All these questions and more in this week's episode of Saturday Night Jive.  Enjoy!

198: "Does That Mean Ray Charles Is A Horse?" - Limit Up (1989)

Ah, the old "pretend you're The Devil to adjust the price of soybeans" trick.  We are all familiar with this plot.  It's Danitra Vance week on Saturday Night Jive and we watched Limit Up from 1989.  This is a movie about a feisty woman who dreams of being a successful soybean trader, she's just missing one thing, a penis.  She does her best to break the glass ceiling by learning everything she can about the stock market.  Oh, and The Devil is involved.  Also God is played by Ray Charles and he has a divine plan that involves soybeans.  Of all the films we've watched involving the stock market, it turns out that the one with Bobcat Goldthwait and a talking horse made the most sense.  Listen to Ben try in vain to explain the economy to George.  Is Ray Charles blind in this film?  Is Ray Charles a horse?  How would Darth Vader use the force to give his buddy a handjob?  Are there infinite universes, and if so is there another podcast that talks about Danitra Vance and Brad Hall as much as we do?  Is God a poor planner?  All these questions plus a lot of talk about soybeans, deals with The Devil, Quantum Leap, plot twists and John Tesh.  Enjoy!

197: "A Professional At Getting You To Eat Your Own Dick" - MacGruber (2010)

We pulled Maya Rudolph so we watched MacGruber the final (as of know) film adapted from an SNL sketch also starring Will Forte and Kristen Wiig.  Not much to say about this one except that it exists, there are some funny moments, but it seems like a big waste of potential.  A huge box office dud that became a cult classic, we discuss whether or not it deserves that acclaim.  Enjoy!

196: "I Made Toast Needlessly Complicated" - Honey, I Blew Up The Kid (1992)

It's Julia Sweeney week so we're talking about her iconic work in the 1992 family film Honey, I Blew Up The Kid.  The follow-up to Honey, I Shrunk The Kids, this film was originally intended as a stand alone film called 'Big Baby' until somebody from the studio decided to turn it into a sequel.  How does a wife put up with this shit twice?  How would you react if you saw your baby's giant genitals?  Are any of Rick Moranis's inventions of any use?  Why does this movie involve a corporate espionage subplot?  All these questions plus needlessly complicated toast in this week's episode of Saturday Night Jive.

195: "Move Over Emily Prager" - Pootie Tang (2001)/Shane Gillis

Sa da tay everyone, we pulled Laura Kightlinger's name out of the hat and that means we are talking about the film that made her a star.  Who could forget her turn as the anchorwoman in Pootie Tang.  Also featuring SNL alum Chris Rock and directed by Louis C.K., this movie is a big old mess of what the fuck.  A guy who speaks gibberish, a world that understands him completely, a comedy with no jokes.  When Bob Costas is the funniest actor in your movie, you gonna have problems.  Since this movie is an incoherent fever dream we spend most of the podcast talking about Shane Gillis the recently hired and more recently fired new cast member of SNL.  An intellectual discussion about racism commences, plus what was up with Gallagher?  Enjoy!

194: "Bigfoot With A Big Pair Of Hairy Tits" - Tales From The Crypt Presents Bordello Of Blood (1996)

This week's SNL alum was Dennis Miller so we watched one of his only leading man vehicles Tales From The Crypt Presents Bordello Of Blood.  The making of this film is more interesting than the actual movie as Dennis was paid a million dollars to star in this, money the producers took out of the special effects budget, he ad-libbed the majority of his dialogue and would routinely not show up on set or walk off abruptly.  We are split on this one.  Ben did not like Dennis's performance while George thought it was just the right kind of awful.  We talk about the easy life of a sexy ghoul, pitch a sexy Bigfoot movie, imagine Dennis Miller as Pennywise, rate the boobies in the film, and a slew of other stuff in this week's Saturday Night Jive.  Enjoy!

193: "Boobs, Butts, Titties" - Plump Fiction (1997)

You know how we've said "This is the worst movie we've ever seen" about a lot of movies?  You know how we've also said "This is the worst movie ever and if we ever say it again, we are lying"?  Well, this is the worst movie we've ever seen and if we say that about another movie we are lying.  We watched Plump Fiction a parody of Quentin Tarantino movies and other films from 1994.  It stars Julie Brown, not the Downtown one, as a fat version of Mia Wallace, Paul Dinello as the John Travolta character, Tommy Davidson as Samuel L. Jackson (who is sometimes doing a Sammy Davis, Jr. impression for no reason), the coach from Air Bud 2, the voice of Bobby Hill, and Glenn Gulia.  More importantly it also features SNL alum Tim Kazurinsky as Priscilla, Queen Of The Dessert.  Get it?  Because dessert sounds like desert.  It's funny.  No, it's not.  It's painfully unfunny.  Please don't watch this film, but you can enjoy listening to us talk about it.

192: "Dicks All Day" - Like Mike (2002)

It's Fred Armisen week on Saturday Night Jive and that can mean only one thing.  We watched Like Mike from 2002 starring Lil' Bow Wow in his dramatic feature debut as a young orphan who finds magic shoes once owned by Michael Jordan, maybe, they never establish if the shoes are magic or if it was the wish he made on them or if it was the electricity running through them from the lightning storm.  Whatever the reason, he becomes good at basketball.  Fred Armisen appears as New Age Dad which is probably his greatest performance of all time.  Not since Holly Hunter in The Piano has an actor done so much with so little dialogue.  Enjoy!

191: "Quick, Hide Your Cheese" - Snow Dogs (2002)

Despite what the trailers for Snow Dogs tells you, this is not a talking dog movie, also there's more Sisqo than you would imagine.  We pulled Jim Belushi's name and he voices a dog in a dream sequence in this film, so that's why we watched it.  This is a stupid, stupid podcast.  The movie also features SNL alum Brian Doyle-Murray as well as two Oscar winners competing with each other as to who can eat the most cheese.  Suggested by a book you never read, this movie is not good but it was fun to talk about.  Enjoy!

190: "Mommy Is Horny" - Air Bud 2: Golden Receiver

 There's nothing in the rule book that says we can't watch Air Bud: Golden Receiver.  The second film in the Air Bud series features SNL alum Nora Dunn as a the evil owner of a Russian circus that wants the basketball playing pooch all to herself.  There's also a football coach who is constantly eating a sandwich, a kid who doesn't like the guy his mom is dating and, oh yeah, a dog that plays football, but that last thing doesn't really factor into the plot of the film.  Join us for one of the cheapest theatrically released films we've ever seen and stay tuned next week for an even dumber episode because that's just how this show works.  Enjoy!

189: "Wait A Minute, I Hate God" - Altar Egos (2017)

 

Victoria Jackson is our SNL alum this week and she starred in the 2017 film Altar Egos. This is a Christian movie with a decent message, basically be kind to others and judge not that ye be judged, but it also features some of the most horrendous makeup ever put on film.  A young pastor wants to hip up his church but he comes to odds with the stodgy, old choir director who is set in her ways.  She'll never listen to him...unless...he disguises himself as an old man to get into her good graces.  This is a pretty stupid plan but what if he brings his son along with him also disguised as an old man for no reason?  Will Victoria Jackson want to make love to this young man in a gray wig?  You betcha.  Hijinks ensue, leading to a climax at a Benihana where the young priest disguised as an old man pretends to be a Japanese chef, for some reason.  We talk about all this plus the value of story lines in pornos and be careful or you just may learn how to wobble.  Enjoy!

188: "2 + 2 = Toilet?" - Moving (1988)

It's Randy Quaid week and we watched Moving from 1988 starring Richard Pryor and King Kong Bundy.  Also featuring SNL alum Dana Carvey, this movie is about Arlo Pear getting a job in Idaho and having to move his family cross country.  Wacky complications ensue.  Ben feels the movie is too scattershot while George found it to be a light and absurdly funny comedy.  You got Rodney Dangerfield gambling away a bank's money, Dana Carvey with multiple personalities, karate chopping on a moving truck.  We talk about all this plus the purpose of butt plugs and the different offensive levels of blackface on this week's Saturday Night Jive.  Enjoy!

187: "Who Ordered The Big Wet Butts?" - Second Act (2018)

 

In the great pantheon of movies featuring SNL cast members, we would be derelict in our responsibilities if we didn't cover Second Act starring Jennifer Lopez as a 40 year old woman who lies on her resume to get a job as a consultant for a cosmetics company and meets the daughter she gave up for adoption.  It features an award worthy performance from the one and only Ellen Cleghorne as Sheniqua, the woman who works at Valu-Mart who can be seen in one scene and speaks two words of dialogue.  We've watched movies for dumber reasons and this is one of the dumber movies we've seen.  Nothing makes sense, nobody acts like a real human being, plot twists fly at the screen with wild abandon and nothing seems to matter.  J. Lo crashes two boats on a corporate retreat because she pretended to be captain of her rowing team and the president looks at it like it's a fun thing.  She pretends to speak Mandarin at a business meeting but ends up talking about a dog's anal glands and the Mandarin man she's speaking to thinks it's the funniest thing.  All this plus a Salt N Pepa dance sequence and a plant that survived Hiroshima on this week's Saturday Night Jive.  Enjoy!

186: "Welcome To Kmart, I'm Usher" - Killers (2010)

It's Rob Riggle week on Saturday Night Jive and we're talking the 2010 action/comedy Killers starring Ashton Kutcher and Katharine Heigl with a bonus SNL alum Casey Wilson.  This movie had the potential to be amazing but they cast two people with absolutely no chemistry, filled the movie with inane dialogue and scored action scenes with the soundtrack to Mrs. Doubtfire.  Maybe it didn't have that much potential, but the premise of the movie is interesting.  Do K-Marts still exist?  Why is Usher in this movie?  These questions plus a Norm MacDonald cameo on this week's Saturday Night Jive.  Enjoy!

185: "Give Me Back-a My Paint Cans!" - A Night At The Roxbury (1998)

 

This week on Saturday Night Jive we're talking about an actual SNL movie.   A Night At The Roxbury tells the story of Steve and Doug Butabi, two characters who not only barely talked in their sketches but didn't have names.  How do you turn that into a movie?  You throw in an unbilled performance from Chazz Palminteri and let him do whatever he wants, apparently.  We'll get into it as we watch a movie with SNL alums Will Ferrell, Chris Kattan, Molly Shannon, Mark McKinney and, of course, Colin Quinn.  Enjoy!

184: "Feelin' The Mitts" - Senseless (1998)

This week on Saturday Night Jive we're talking David Spade who plays a 40 year college senior in Senseless.  This is a terrible film starring Marlon Wayans as another person who looks too old to be in college who takes part in an experimental drug trial that heightens his senses.  Things are going great for the kid until he ups the dosage (for no discernible reason) and starts to lose his senses.  So many things wrong with this movie, the least of which is its possible racist undertones and the weirdest Sherman Hemsley cameo ever.  Enjoy!

183: "I Must Study You" - Pure Luck (1991)

Martin Short was the SNL alum we picked this week so we watched Pure Luck from 1991.  It stars Martin as the unluckiest man in the world, sent to find the unluckiest woman in the world.  He's partnered with Danny Glover and he falls down a lot.  It's not that great, but it's watchable.  Do bee stings really turn you into a big fat guy?  Will two unlucky people coming together cause the world to end?  Do Mexican police officers just rape you without a trial?  These questions and more are explored in this week's episode.  Enjoy!

182: "Specifically For Melanie Hutsell" - Grown Ups 2 (2013)

Why are we watching Grown Ups 2?  Is it because it stars SNL alums Adam Sandler, David Spade and Chris Rock?  Is it because Maya Rudolph and Tim Meadows have supporting roles?  Is it because it features cameos from Cheri Oteri, Andy Samberg, Jon Lovitz, Colin Quinn, Will Forte, Taran Killam, Bobby Moynihan, Ellen Cleghorne and Paul Brittan?  No.  We watched it because SNL great Melanie Hutsell shows up in the background of two scenes.  Why?  Because you're listening to the podcast with the single greatest premise.  We pulled Melanie Hutsell's name off of our SNL cast member spreadsheet so we watched a movie with no plot, no character arcs, no story and no conflict and a little too much Nick Swardson.  4 guys dick around for a day, mostly at Kmart.  That's a movie.  It's a film where nothing happens and also everything happens.  One podcast may not be enough, so join us next week when we cover Grown Ups 2 as we continue to live in this time loop.  Let out a burp-sneeze-fart and Enjoy!

181: "Somebody Once Told Me" - Mystery Men (1999)

We've had a run of really bad movies so we're taking a much needed break and watching something of substance.  Mystery Men is a superhero movie that parodies the feel of the Tim Burton and Joel Schumacher Batman movies and has a look that can only be called "Kinka Usher-esque".  We get POV shots aplenty in this as the camera is in the fridge, in your face, in a bag, up your nose, in your butt, or wherever they felt like putting it that second.  Starring SNL alums Ben Stiller and Janeane Garofalo as well as two guys who auditioned but didn't make the cast, Paul Reubens and Kel Mitchell, as well as Geoffrey Rush, Greg Kinnear, William H. Macy, Wes Studi, Eddie Izzard, Pras and Hank Azaria.  It's a decent flick with some slight problems.  Enjoy!

180: "Taco Hamburger 12" - Epic Movie (2007)

We've watched some really bad movies for this podcast.  We think we've found the worst.  You like poop, vomit and farts? Well, I give you Epic Movie.  Do you like Fred Willard, Crispin Glover, Jennifer Coolidge, Kal Penn, Kevin Hart, Kevin MacDonald or the British guy from Great News?  Well, you won't after you watch this movie.  Allegedly featuring SNL alum Taran Killam, although we did not see him in the movie.  Who we did see was Darrell Hammond ripping off an SNL bit from Andy Samberg.  Darrell Hammond, you should be ashamed of yourself.  We talk about who is to blame for this atrocity, if anyone is blameless, why there should be more boobs in things (it's for education) and unveil two new characters ready for SNL, Officer Johnson and Dr. Bruce Dicks-in-ass.  Enjoy!

179: "Dan Aykroyd's Big Fat Ass In Short Shorts" - Doctor Detroit (1983)

Pimpin' sure ain't easy, especially when you're Dan Aykroyd and you think pimps have metal hands and talk like Carol Channing.  Enough about Dan though, we're talking Peter Aykroyd this week.  A cast member for one season who appears in Doctor Detroit for one scene.  Does Dan Aykroyd have multiple personalities, Do you believe Howard Hesseman as a pimp?  What's up with sword fights?  All this, plus we pitch the Dan Aykroyd Cinematic Universe.  Enjoy!

178: "Yogurt Gives Me The Whoopsies" - Grand Daddy Day Care (2019)

In 2019, America's favorite trilogy came to a close.  You completely forgot about Daddy Day Care, you never saw Daddy Day Camp but heard it was terrible, now the saga comes full circle with Grand Daddy Day Care.  Starring Danny Trejo as an ex-con turned lawyer with dementia who has to move in with his daughter and son-in-law.  When his old friends come over, his son-in-law gets an idea.  Run an illegal nursing home.  What could have been a fun Rapping Granny style movie is actually sad, featuring a bunch of older actors who don't seem to have the comic timing they used to complaining about how often they have to pee and how they need help off the toilet.  We watched this because it features an exceptionally sad performance from SNL alum Garret Morris.  Enjoy!

177: "F U, Garry Marshall" - Dear God (1996)

Oh boy, we found another Garry Marshall classic.  Dear God is a mess of a film where nothing makes sense.  Greg Kinnear is the sweetest conman you'll ever meet who gets sentenced by a judge to get a 9-5 job.  You know, that common sentence criminals get.  He finds work in the dead letter office of the USPS and ends up answering undelivered letters to God.  This movie does not know how the post office works as Greg gets in trouble for opening people's mail, even though that is what the dead letter office does.  It also establishes that all of this mail can not be delivered or returned because of the lack of addresses, yet Greg and his buddies seem to find all the God writers fairly easily.  It also establishes that people just pray to God through the mail, for things like wanting to ride a pony or a clean house or a dog or a babysitter or, in one case, a suicide note.  Who writes a letter to God, puts a stamp on it, takes it to a mailbox but doesn't leave a return address?  I guess you're thinking, "Oh God knows where I live" but then that also means you believe that the post office has routes that go to heaven!?!?  Sorry, I'm rambling.  This movie sucks, listen to us talk about it.  Enjoy!

176: 'Dan Aykroyd's Big Fat Alien Ass' - Coneheads (1993)

This week we are finally talking Coneheads from 1993 featuring SNL alum Jan Hooks but also Dan Aykroyd, Jane Curtin, Chris Farley, Laraine Newman, Tom Davis, Tim Meadows, Michael McKean, David Spade, Julia Sweeney, Kevin Nealon, Jon Lovitz, Garrett Morris, Adam Sandler and Peter Aykroyd.  The It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World of SNL movies also has cameos from Sinbad, Eddie Griffen, Tom Arnold, Drew Carey, Michael Richards, Dave Thomas, Ellen DeGeneres and Jason Alexander.  This is a big old mess of a film that forgets when it's trying to be funny.  We talk about the film, the mechanics of alien butts, Lorne Michaels and women, the Coneheads media onslaught, Subway and their failed movie tie-ins and much much more.  If you like our little show, subscribe, leave us a rating on iTunes and send us an email at Saturdaynightjivepodcast@gmail.com

175: "Scalpel, Forceps, Frying Pan" - Clean Slate (1994)

This week we're talking Clean Slate, an early starring vehicle for SNL star Dana Carvey.  This movie is an interesting mess.  It has a charm and easy going tone but the plot completely falls apart if you think about it for 5 seconds.  Dana is a private eye with amnesia who wakes up every morning with no memories of who he is.  He has a case to solve, a valuable coin to find, a woman to romance.  Luckily the amnesia doesn't affect the part of the brain that remembers where poo goes.  All this and a fake dog head on this week's episode of Saturday Night Jive.  Enjoy!

This week on Saturday Night Jive we're talking about one of the most reviled movies of all time Son Of The Mask starring Jamie Kennedy, Alan Cumming, Bob Hoskins, Traylor Howard, a terrifying CGI baby and dog and most importantly, SNL alum Jerry Minor.  Is Ben Stein the worst actor of all time?  Can he even qualify as an actor?  Do all celebrities hold elaborate Eyes Wide Shut parties?  Why do Gods want to have sex with out human women?  What are the legal ramifications of cartoon violence?  How easy would it be to kill baby Hitler?  These questions and more on this week's episode.  Enjoy!

173: "El Kabong Logic" - I Feel Pretty (2018)

This week on Saturday Night Jive it's our end of the year spectacular.  We're highlighting one of the worst of 2018, I Feel Pretty starring Amy Schumer and featuring two SNL alums in Aidy Bryant and Shasheer Zamata.  This movie is incredibly nonsensical as Amy gets a head injury and wakes up thinking she looks like a supermodel.  Luckily for her, nobody questions her alternate reality or treats her any different at all.  The trailer for this film sparked some controversy as people felt the film (that they hadn't seen yet) was promoting fat shaming but the problem with the film is that it doesn't.  Certain jokes rely on Amy Schumer being fat and gross (which, for the record, she isn't) but most of the jokes are about how oblivious she is.  The movie is constantly fighting against itself regarding its own political correctness.  Also there's a subplot that hinges on a dating website designed for groups of 3.  Enjoy!
