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!
