246: "All He Knows Is Punching" - SNL S20E09 - George Foreman / Hole

 We pulled Morweena Banks out of the hat and picked to watch an episode of Saturday Night Live that she isn't even in.  Oops.  Apologies to Morweena Banks, but you were only on 4 episodes of SNL and we didn't put that into consideration when picking an episode from your season.  But, on the other hand, I feel like I have said the name Morweena Banks on this podcast more than anyone else has said Morweena Banks on a podcast, so maybe you owe me a debt of gratitude.  Once again, apologies to Morweena Banks for getting so out of hand.  Anywho, we watched Season 20 Episode 9 hosted by George Foreman with musical guest Hole.  This episode aired December 17th, 1994 which means today is the 26th anniversary of the first time I saw it.  Strangely enough, getting a guy who has been punched in the face for 40 years to host a comedy show doesn't go that great.  It also doesn't help that these are the worst written sketches.  A guy turns into The Incredible Hulk over and over again, a wedding singer says the name "Uncle Joe" over and over again, Frank Stallone is mocked mercilessly over and over again, George Foreman punches people in the face over and over again.  A lot of the sketches have a very repetitive nature to them.  We also get a Chris Elliott bedtime story, Mike Myers as Adolph Hitler, Matt Foley, some amazing acting by George Foreman (watch him fake bite that hamburger!), a lot of Janeane Garofalo, a film by Bruce McCullough, Michael McKean as Bill Clinton and more!  Enjoy!

245: "Mmmm...Whale" - SNL S11E13 - George Wendt / Francis Ford Coppola / Phillip Glass

 

By special request, one of the weirdest episodes in Saturday Night Live history.  Hosted by Cheers star George Wendt but guest directed by Francis Ford Coppola and musical guest Phillip Glass.  It's an odd one but an interesting one.  Sketches include a monologue interrupted by Coppola, a Vietnam sketch interrupted by Coppola, That Black Girl interrupted by Coppola, George Wendt selling whale meat, Robert Downey Jr in a suitcase, and Ralph Kramden punching his wife in the face.  Enjoy!

244: "Poop Salad" - Problem Child 2 (1991)

 

You like poop?  You like farts?  How about some vomit?  Pee?  We got all that and more with Problem Child 2 starring SNL alums Laraine Newman and Gilbert Gottfried.  A Jon Waters movie for kids is one of the most perplexing things we've seen.  Love it?  Hate it?  I'm not sure and I don't think I ever will be, but it has a lot of gross shit in it.  Enjoy!

243: "Just Like Pootie Tang" - Scary Movie 3 (2003)

This week we watched Scary Movie 3 because Darrell Hammond plays a priest in one scene, also because we're dumb and do dumb things.  Thought this would be more fun to talk about.  Sorry.  Enjoy!

242: "The Mr. Skin Of Farts" - The Man (2005)

Farts are funny, right?  There are absolutely no jokes in The Man a 2005 action/buddy comedy starring Samuel L. Jackson and Eugene Levy, but at one point Eugene Levy farts, and it's smelly, and Samuel L. Jackson smells it.  If you're into that kind of thing, skip to 48 minutes in and you'll hear some juicy farts and you'll laugh, because you're not a good person deep down.  Horatio Sanz shows up in this piece of crap for 2 scenes so we watched it, because we're dumb, and next week we'll watch another dumb movie.  Enjoy!

241: "I'm Gonna Take You On A Hobo Date" - Curly Sue (1991)

 

A lost soul, a young girl, a working woman willing to throw it all away for the magic of a hobo date.  We watched Curly Sue starring SNL alum Jim Belushi and featuring a very young (and almost SNL cast member) Steven Carell.  This marks the last time John Hughes stood behind the camera and it is a complete mess.  Best described as a slapstick drama, this movie follows a homeless man and a little girl as they run scams in the big city looking for sandwiches.  Enjoy!

236: "An All-Out Wank-A-Thon" - SNL S16E18 - Steven Seagal / Michael Bolton

 

This week on Saturday Night Jive we talk about a notoriously bad episode of SNL hosted by Steven Seagal with musical guest Michael Bolton.  While Seagal is completely terrible, at least George found some stuff to like about this episode.  We get some blackface or course, because it wouldn't be an episode of our podcast without that coming up at least once.  Seriously SNL, way too much blackface.  I swear we're not intentionally picking episodes with blackface.  It's just if you throw a dart at a board with a lot of blackface on it, you're gonna land on blackface a lot.  This episode has some Hans & Franz, some Richmeister, some Steven Seagal singing Kung Fu Fighting, some Michael Bolton in very high pants, a laughably bad Andrew Dice Clay impression, and we end with a bunch of people bitch slapping the host.  Enjoy!

235: "Which One Do I Shoot?" - Big Business (1998)

Dear Mary Gross, we're sorry.  Next time we pull your name we will finally watch Feds.  I don't know why we didn't do it this time.  Maybe I'm afraid I won't love it as much as I should.  I really want to enjoy Feds but I've been hurt by movies in the past and I'm not quite sure if I'm ready to put my heart back on the line.  So instead we watched some piece of crap that you have two scenes in.

Big Business from 1988 stars Bette Midler and Lily Tomlin as two sets of twins, born at the same hospital and separated at birth.  So one Bette grew up with one Lily and vice versa.  This Prince And The Pauper-esque tale sees all 4 in New York City (The Plaza Hotel specifically.  Which is so important to the plot that they justified building an expensive set of the hotel instead of shooting in another hotel).  What do you think will happen when these twins meet each other?  Well, you have to wait until about 10 minutes before the movie is over.  That's right, this movie is just a series of "Hey, I'm gonna talk to you as if you were the other person who looks like you and then confusion will set in".  It sucks.  A shorter podcast this week since we have so little to talk about but we pack as much as we can into 45 minutes.  Enjoy!

234: "To Entice Guttenberg" - Short Circuit 2 (1988)

 

This week we're talking Michael McKean and his performance in Short Circuit 2 from 1988.  A jive talking robot, a white man in brownface, and a fast-talking street tough are just trying to run an honest robot sweatshop when diamond sugglers ruin their plans.  I guess that proves the old adage, don't rent the abandoned warehouse directly across the street from the biggest bank in the city.  Join us as we talk about Johnny 5 and his quest for respect in a world against him.  Plus we get honest-to-God tears from watching a robot get Jesus beat.

233: "Matt Lauer Provides The Chuckles" - Land Of The Lost (2009)

 

This week we're talking Will Ferrell and his 2009 bomb Land Of The Lost.  Once again we are watching a movie based on a TV show that nobody cared about in the first place.  Who is this for?  Were fans of the show clamoring for Danny McBride?  Was the coveted 18-49 year old demographic excited for a movie based on a show they don't know existed?  How much dinosaur pee can Will Ferrell pour on himself?  A pretty short episode this week as we struggle to find something interesting to say about such a nothing of a movie.  All this and another instance of Subway backing the wrong horse when it comes to movie tie-in promotions on this week's Saturday Night Jive.

232: "I Like Pizza, F**k Andie MacDowell" - Multiplicity (1996)

 

This week on Saturday Night Jive we watched Multiplicity from 1996 starring Michael Keaton as a man who clones himself so he can have more time in the day.  Why, you ask?  Because SNL alum Robin Duke has 3 lines.  Also featuring Brian Doyle-Murray this movie raises a lot of questions that we didn't have in 1996.  Like, why are these clones seemingly fine with the fact that they are basically slaves?  Why is one of the clones gay?  How problematic is one of those clones over 20 years later?  And just how much is Michael Keaton coughing up for these human copies?  These and more questions are answered on this week's episode.  Enjoy!

231: "The Leftest Of Left Fields" - Father Of The Year (2018)

 

Apologies to the Siobhan Fallon fans who were anxiously awaiting a podcast devoted specifically to the Pauley Shore move Jury Duty but we couldn't find that for free on the internet and you can go to Hell if you think I'm paying for that shit.  So we called an audible and watched some crappy Happy Madison film on Netflix.  Father Of The Year debuted on the streaming service in 2018 and stars SNL alum David Spade and features cameos from Kevin Nealon and, of course, Melanie Hutsell.  This movie refuses to have a cohesive story line, instead we get episodic scenes of wife carrying competitions, men with boobs, and old men tripping on Molly.  It's not a good movie but you can listen to us talk about it.  We watched it so we might as well have something to prove it.

230: "Who Likes Frank Caliendo?" - The Comebacks (2007)

What a difference over 200 crappy movies makes.  Back in 2007, George watched The Comebacks starring SNL alums David Koechner and Finesse Mitchell and directed by the guy who gave us Bucky Larson: Born To Be A Star.  It was so terrible he broke the DVD he burned it on so it would never be played again.  Flash forward to 2020 and The Comebacks is one of the best movies we've seen for this podcast.  Unfairly lumped in with the spoof movies from Friedberg and Seltzer, this is a funny movie with good jokes and an actual story you can follow from beginning to end.  There are a few visual sight gags that are just references to other movies of the time, but for the most part the movie will turn a reference into an actual character or storyline.  Listen to George and Ben talk about their new favorite movie.  Then again, this could all be some kind of insanity.  Remember, this is the podcast that is pro Jack And Jill and Holmes And Watson.

229: "That's How You Trick The Devil" - Monkeybone (2001)

We watched Monkeybone featuring SNL alum Chris Kattan as a rotting corpse.  We also give some quick thoughts on Palm Springs now streaming on Hulu starring Andy Samberg.  A split decision on Monkeybone, while we agree that the visuals are dazzling and the story is light we differ on which of those is more important.  Chris Kattan is definitely great in this and John Turturro is obviously your first choice for the voice of a cartoon monkey.  If you have a question you want us to read on air send us an email at saturdaynightjivepodcast@gmail.com

228: "Oh, Shirley Jones!" - Godzilla (1998)

We watched Godzilla from 1998.  Why?  Because SNL alum Harry Shearer plays the news anchor who is always undermining his underlings.  We're a smart podcast.  This is a simple little movie about a biologist and a reporter and the rekindling of their romance amidst the backdrop of a giant lizard destroying the city.  This a film that both of us remember being disappointing when we saw it in the theater as kids and watching it 20 years later elicits pretty much the same response.  Enjoy!

227: "Guy On Toilet...The End" - Larry The Cable Guy: Health Inspector (2006)

Why did we watch Larry The Cable Guy: Health Inspector, you ask?  Because SNL alum David Koechner plays Donny, Larry's mentally challenged neighbor in this magnum opus.  Hard to know who has it worse, David Koechner, Tony Hale as a man in a wheelchair whose basic role in the movie is just so Larry can make some jokes about the physically disabled, Tom Wilson for having an agent so bad he would let him appear in a movie with Larry The Cable Guy, the poor woman who is tasked to play Larry's love interest, or us the audience for having to sit through 90 minutes of a man farting for our amusement.  Larry The Cable Guy stars in a mystery about farts and poop.  Someone is poisioning fancy restaurants with a medicing that makes people fart and Larry The Cable Guy is on the case.  It's a bad movie but as we learned in our last movie podcast, everything looks a little better now that Bucky Larson has been exposed to us.  Enjoy!

226: "Mexican Donkey Boy" - SNL S19E15 - Nancy Kerrigan / Aretha Franklin

You like old ass epsisodes of Saturday Night Live?  Well we watched one.  From Season 19, Episode 15 is hosted by Olympic figure skater Nancy Kerrigan and she is just as funny as you would think she would be.  A notoriously bad host, Nancy stumbles her way through the show but uses her awfulness to her advantage as she tempts a Mexican lothario played by Phil Hartman with her lack of charm.  Sketches include a Bill Clinton cold open, The Denise Show, Chris Farley ice skating, Ellen Cleghorne interviewing Aretha Franklin in a sketch we're not sure is racist or not (it's an old ass episode of SNL, it's probably racist), Nancy Kerrigan working at Disney World, a St. Patrick's Day parade, and Rob Schneider getting shot in the face.  Enjoy!

225: "Dong In The Dumphole" - SNL S37E08 - Steve Buscemi / The Black Keys

Sometimes you need to take a little break from the garbage.  After watching one of the worst movies we've ever seen last week we decide to watch something good so we went back to Saturday Night Live and picked an episode that got George back into the show.  Because we picked Nasim Pedrad, it's Season 37 Episode 8 hosted by Steve Buscemi.  Sketches include Coach Bert, Surprise Sue, Dateline, The Miley Cyrus Show, Sex Ed Vincent, and it wouldn't be an episode of Saturday Night Jive unless we covered another instance of SNL donning blackface as we talk about Fred Armisen as Barack Obama.  Enjoy!

224: "There's A Nugget Of Corn In There" - Bucky Larson: Born To Be A Star (2011)

Ooh boy.  This was a rough one.  We watched Bucky Larson: Born To Be A Star starring Nick Swardson and featuring SNL alums Kevin Nealon and Jimmy Fallon (in one scene as himself).  Bucky Larson is a simple man-child from a small town who discovers his purpose when he discovers his parents were porn stars.  He moves to the big city, finds a girl, gets a job in the adult film industry, and jizzes...a lot.  This is one of the worst ones we've watched in the history of this podcsast but, if you look on the bright side, it makes every movie we've watched a little better in comparison.  So there's a silver lining in everything.  Stay tuned to the end where we make a startling political revelation.  Enjoy!

223: "Full Of Blackface" - SNL S11E18 - Anjelica Huston and Billy Martin / George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic

This week on Saturday Night Jive we're talking about the finale to Season 11 hosted by Anjelica Huston and Billy Martin.  This episode features the last hurrah for SNL superstars like Anthony Michael Hall, Robert Downey Jr, Joan Cusack, Danitra Vance, and Terry Sweeney who goes out in style by donning the blackest blackface we've seen so far digging into old episodes of SNL.  Along with the racism we also get sketches about second bananas, one legged joggers, drunks, lesbians, and of course we get a little Father Guido Sarducci.  We can't record a podcast without talking about Father Guido Sarducci.  Music by Parliament Funkadelic and a cliffhanger ending where Lorne sets the cast on fire.  We also address Jimmy Fallon's blackface controversy.  Enjoy.

222: "My Lasagna Wasn't Cheesy Enough" - SNL S09E09 - Father Guido Sarducci / Huey Lewis & The News

We picked Joe Piscopo out of the hat and we watched Bartleby a movie from 2001 starring David Paymer and Crispin Glover.  But then George didn't like that movie so we watched an episode of Saturday Night Live instead.  From Season 9, its an episode hosted by Father Guido Sarducci with musical guest Huey Lewis & The News.  This episode is a stinker.  It includes a call-in vote for the audience to pick their favorite democratic candidate, Julia Louis-Dreyfus pulling cigarettes out of her bra, Joe Piscopo revealing a dark family secret, Gary Kroeger translating for Buckwheat, Michael Jackson, and lots of people reading a list of phone numbers you can call to vote.  Plus we watched Bartleby.  Enjoy!

221: “You Fockin’ To Me?” - Little Fockers (2010)

It’s Benny Stills and Bobby Milk back again for Little Fockers.  Watch as a studio tries to squeeze every last dollar out of this franchise.  A lazy sequel featuring contractual obligation appearances from Dustin Hoffman and Barbra Streisand, this movie has boners, gay jokes, Jews and Rob Huebel.  Enjoy!

220: "Hold The Fart Phone" - Daddy Day Care (2003)

It's Eddie Murphy week on Saturday Night Jive and that means we are finally closing out Hollywood's most beloved trilogy with Daddy Day Care.  We started with Grand-Daddy Day Care then visited Cuba Gooding Jr. and Brian Doyle Murray in Daddy Day Camp.  Now we are watching the Favorite Fart nominated original.  Joined by SNL alums Kevin Nealon, Laura Kightlinger, and the exciting Siobhan Fallon this movie is basically a bunch of farts disguised as a movie.  But we had fun talking about it and pitching out the Daddy Day Care cinematic universe which includes Daddy Space Camp and Daddy Day Fart.  You're also never gonna find another podcast that digs so deep into Siobhan Fallon's career.

219: "It Just Doesn't Matter" - SNL Season 6 Episode 12 - Bill Murray / The Man Who Knew Too Little

We were supposed to watch The Man Who Knew Too Little but only half of us were able to fulfill that goal.  Turns out the movie is really boring anyway so we're not missing anything.  Instead, we called an audible and watched an old episode of Saturday Night Live.  This one comes from Season 6, hosted by Bill Murray and it is the last episode to feature the "new 1980 cast".  This is the last hurrah for Charles Rocket, Ann Risley, Gilbert Gottfried and producer Jean Doumanian.  This is arguably the best episode of the season but that doesn't mean it is without its faults.  Mostly an incredibly long drug trip with Walter Cronkite.  Enjoy!
