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!
