319: "That's The Thing" - Brain Donors (1992) / Babylon (2022)

This week on Saturday Night Jive we're talking about the 1992 comedy Brain Donors.  There are no SNL alum in this film but it was directed by Dennis Dugan who after watching Problem Child, Beverly Hills Ninja, I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry, You Don't Mess With The Zohan, Grown Ups, Jack And Jill, and Grown Ups 2 feels like an honorary member of our family.  This is a "remake" of The Marx Brothers film A Night At The Opera (with a little bit of A Day At The Races thrown in) starring John Turturro, the guy who ran the torture machine in The Princess Bride, and some other dude as analogs for Groucho, Chico and Harpo.  It's an odd movie with a few decent gags but you're ultimately left with the feeling of "why didn't I just watch a Marx Brothers movie?".  If we didn't have enough to talk about with this oddity we also discuss Damien Chazelle's Babylon featuring SNL alum Chloe Fineman in a small role.  It's one of our favorite films of 2022 that has an ending that left us both stumped.  Enjoy!

318: "We Saved You With Farts" - K-911 (1999)

Ten years after K-9 took cinemas by storm, a direct-to-video sequel was made.  This week on Saturday Night Jive we're finally digging into this trilogy, of course we start with the second one, because we're dumb.  It's K-911 starring an old dog and SNL alum Jim Belushi.  A crazed author is out for revenge on the husband of the woman who rejected his manuscript (because he fell in love with the rejection letter, it's stupid, we talk about it).  Belushi must get a new partner, who has her own dog, and of course also has a crush on our hero, to solve the case.  For a direct to video sequel of a movie you probably didn't see 10 years ago, it's not that bad.  Not saying it's the greatest thing we've ever watched but there was some slight fun to be had in Jim Belushi working out with his dog, picking up dog poop, and of course smelling some doggy farts.  Does a silent-but-deadly count when it comes to Mr. Skids?  Don't worry, we get in to the legitimacy of dog farts.  Enjoy!

317: "But I Put It In My Mouth" - Zardoz (1974)

This week on Saturday Night Jive we're breaking format and doing another cheat pick.  It's Ben's favorite movie Zardoz from 1974 starring frequent SNL impersonation Sean Connery as a brutal who chases down a fake god living in a giant head (or something).  It's certainly a movie, and you can't say it isn't.  Enjoy!
