216: "Social Distancing With Monkey Puns " - Space Chimps (2008)

It's Andy Samberg week on Saturday Night Jive and we are doing our civic duty by practicing social distancing so we recorded an episode over Skype.  Sorry if the sound quality isn't up to our usual standards but if there was anything we could do that was dumber than watching Space Chimps and talking about it for an hour it's watching Space Chimps and talking about it for an hour over Skype.  This animated tale from 2008 stars Andy Samberg, Cheryl Hines and Patrick Warburton as monkeys sent to space to track down a rover that has fallen into the hands of an evil alien voiced by Jeff Daniels.  It's a real stupid movie and way shittier than we ever expected.  The animation is gross to look at, the script consists almost entirely of monkey puns, and Kristen Chenowith voices a singing light bulb head alien who gets pooped out by a monster.  Also featuring SNL alum Kenan Thompson, this movie sucks almost as much as being quarantined with coronavirus. Enjoy!
