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!
