296: "Chekhov's Nazi Dildo" - A Fine Mess (1986)

It's a cheat week on Saturday Night Jive.  If you don't know our premise after almost 300 episodes, we usually watch movies featuring SNL alum but this week we dug into the barrel of film obscurity and pulled out A Fine Mess from 1986 starring one-time SNL host Ted Danson and Howie Mandel in a remake of a Laurel & Hardy short.  This Blake Edwards directed piece of shit is certainly an oddity but we're torn on whether it's an obscure artifact you should know about or if it ever should have existed in the first place.  Howie and Ted are two buddies who love fuckin'.  They're on the run from mafia goons, they accidentally buy a vintage piano, they run around a lot, Howie opens a racist restaurant, and... what else happens in this movie?  Oh yeah, there's a dildo made by Nazi Larry Storch that gets shoved up a horse's ass.  Said dildo then gets shoved up Richard Mulligan's ass and results in him gaining super speed powers.  It's a fine mess...of shit.  Enjoy!

295: "The Dustbin Of History" - Jane Austen's Mafia (1998)

We watched Jane Austen's Mafia from 1998 starring SNL alum Jay Mohr and featuring the last performance of the legendary Lloyd Bridges.  What a turd!  I guess we should have known that before we watched it, but we can now confirm that this movie blows.  A parody of The Godfather, which came out 26 years earlier, by the A in ZAZ Jim Abrahams.  A bunch of bad jokes, some puke, some farts, and an old man near the end of life being forced to fall down a lot.  Enjoy!

294: "I Was Cake The Whole Time?" - Problem Child (1990)

We lost the great Gilbert Gottfried recently so as a tribute we watched his performance in Problem Child from 1990.  This is a prequel to Problem Child 2, which we previously covered on this podcast starring John Ritter and Amy Yasbeck as two parents who adopt a red-headed piece of shit who causes a whole bunch of trouble.  Gilbert plays the adoption agent who barely factors into the film, but did make it to both sequels.  RIP Gilbert, those tsunami victims can make fun of you now.  If you listened to our last episode where we spun the wheel like 50 times to pick a movie and eventually landed on Spice World, sorry but we didn't know Gilbert would die and we have to do something for somebody who appeared on 12 episodes of SNL.

293: "Was That Tony Longo?" - Feds (1988)

We’re finally doing it.  We watched Feds starring SNL alum Mary Gross and it turned out to be a huge waste of time.  Tony Longo’s performance as the sailor aside, this movie was one of the most dull and pointless we’ve ever watched.  Was it meant to be a comedy?  How many pizzas can a man eat?  How many Tremors sequels are there?  Who the fuck is Tony Longo?  These questions and a lot of wheel spinning on this week’s episode of Saturday Night Jive.  Enjoy!
