322: "He's A Big Fat Ugly Guy" - Bogus (1996)

This week on Saturday Night Jive we're doing another cheat pick.  There are no SNL alums in the 1996 film Bogus but we watched it anyway.  It does feature Andrea Martin who is related to SNL alum Martin Short and was offered a spot on Season 10 (according to rumors) so that counts, right?  This movie stars a pre-Sixth Sense Haley Joel Osment who creates an imaginary friend after his mother dies.  The imaginary friend is played by big fat Gerard DePardieu who is not funny, charming, or imaginative.  Whoopi Goldberg plays Haley's legal guardian who seems to detest children and wants nothing to do with the kid until she does a soft shoe routine with Bogus that turns her heart around (we guess).  It's a heartwarming family drama about a little orphan that they threw a big fat French guy in to hang around in the background of scenes.  Seriously, the imaginary friend aspect of this movie is way less of the plot than you would think.  Is Gerard DePardieu sexy?  We get into it.  Enjoy!

321: "Slapping On Condoms In A Dank Basement" - Trojan War (1997)

This week on Saturday Night Jive we're talking the Anthony Michael Hall classic from 1997 Trojan War.   This movie is most famous for at one time being the lowest grossing movie of all time, making a hefty $309 at the U.S. box office.  If you ask us, around 60 theater goers are owed a refund and we've started a class action suit to get their $4.59 back.  Will Friedle from Boy Meets World really wants to fuck Marley Shelton, there's just one problem.  He doesn't have a condom!  So he goes on an After Hours like trip through the city to obtain a precious Trojan.  AMH shows up as a crazy bus driver and he's the best part of the film, well him or the kung fu janitor.  Enjoy!

320: "Joey Baloney" - The Big Bus (1976)

This week on Saturday Night Jive we watched a film that parodies the disaster movie genre that was all the rage in the 1970s.  No, not Airplane!, it's The Big Bus from 1976 starring Stockard Channing, Joey Baloney, Richard Mulligan, the guy who played Richard Mulligan's partner in A Fine Mess, Rene Auberjonis, Sally Kellerman, Ned Beatty, Harold Gould, Larry Hagman, Murph from The Blues Brothers, and one-time oldest SNL host Ruth Gordon.  This movie came out 4 years before Airplane!, shares a lot of similarities with Airplane!, but is in no way connected to Airplane!.  The world's first nuclear powered bus is taking its maiden voyage, several accidents happen, and only Joey Baloney can drive it home safely.  It's an interesting movie that's pretty funny.  You may have read about it in Bus World magazine.  Enjoy!
