211: "Origin Of The Poo In The Jar" - The Ladies Man (2000)

Who ordered a Leon Phelps movie?  What, nobody?  Oh, well they made one anyway.  And we watched it.  It's called The Ladies Man starring SNL alum Tim Meadows reprising his classic recurring character.  Why did he need a backstory?  Why did he need a love interest?  This movie focuses on plot one scene and nonsense the next.  Also featuring SNL alums Will FerrellChris Parnell and Mark McKinney.

210: "All The Tits And Dicks Don't Make It Better" - The Dukes Of Hazzard (2005)

It's David Koechner week on Saturday Night Jive and who could forget his iconic role as Cooter in The Dukes Of Hazzard?  Who would ever want this movie?  For fans of the original TV series, we present to you Stifler and Jackass making dick jokes while Jessica Simpson runs around in short shorts.  We cover awkward familial relations, get working on the BJ And The Bear movie, and break down the logic of one of the stranger blooper credits we've seen.  Enjoy!

209: "Taylor Swift Has The Clap" - SNL Season 6 Episode 2 - Malcolm McDowell / Captain Beefheart

We have another SNL episode, this one from the dreaded season 6.  Lorne Michaels, Bill Murray, and Peter Aykroyd have all left the show so they got Gilbert Gottfried, Ann Risley and Charles Rocket.  This is the second episode from that season hosted by Malcolm McDowell and featuring Captain Beefheart as the musical guest.  This is a particularly notorious episode for a few reasons.  We get our first sighting of Eddie Murphy (although very briefly) and it makes liberal use of the N-word.  We also get the Leather Weather Report, a famously bad sketch, a commercial for milk brought to you by Alex DeLarge, sketches built on puns, and, in case I forgot to mention it, a sketch where Charles Rocket says the N-word.  This was a rough one to watch, even as a die hard SNL fan this was painful.

208: "Coincidence Atop Coincidence Atop Mistake" - Oscar (1991)

Just in time for Oscar night, we watched Oscar from 1991 starring Sylvester Stallone and SNL alum Harry Shearer.  What's better than a throwback to 1930's screwball comedies?  Answer, Sylvester Stallone and his terrible comic timing.  A very forgettable film that features a pleasant supporting cast but is completely hampered by poor direction, awkward editing, a plot too complicated for its own good, and most of all Sylvester Stallone.  Enjoy!
