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!Full archive of all podcast episodes available at saturdaynightjive.blogspot.com
