326: "A Baby Is Not A Queef" - No Holds Barred (1989)

This week on Saturday Night Jive we watched the 1989 classic No Holds Barred otherwise known as the single greatest movie ever made.  Starring one-time SNL host Hulk Hogan (check out episode 206 of our podcast for a full rundown of his Season 10 episode) and written by Hulk and WWF president Vince McMahon, this movie is either accidentally brilliant or intentionally brilliant (we can't tell) but it is without a doubt the greatest movie in film history.  Hulk plays Rip, the most popular wrestler in the world, and he's being hounded by a rival network president who wants him to wrestle on his network.  Featuring an Academy Award performance from the great Kurt Fuller, this movie has everything.  Panties that go from navel to knee, dwarves that don't look like Peter Dinklage, readily available assassins, feet that look like either butts or balls, pie fights, shabbily made American shirts, Jacob from Lost in traction, and of course, dookie.

325: "Let Your Mom F**k Chevy Chase" - Man Of The House (1995)

This week on Saturday Night Jive we're talking about the 1995 family comedy Man Of The House starring SNL alum Chevy Chase.  After a string of flops (see our episodes on Nothing But Trouble and Cops And Robbersons) Chevy didn't want to do another film but eventually agreed to sign on because he liked the dramatic elements of the script.  One could argue that there shouldn't be dramatic elements in the script of a movie that has Chevy Chase and George Wendt doing a rain dance.  This is not the movie we expected.  We were looking forward to a crazy cat and mouse caper with a lot of Chevy falling down and Jonathan Taylor Thomas laying mousetraps all over the floor.  Instead we got a heartfelt family comedy about a kid learning to love his new stepdad with Enya on the soundtrack.  Of course there's a mafia subplot as well and we get Chevy Chase in a Native American headdress.  Should you talk about sex with your mommy?  What are the artistic values of Cirque du Soleil?  Why did George Wendt's character need to be played by a fat guy?  These questions and more on this week's episode of Saturday Night Jive.  Enjoy!

324: "Phantom Farts" - Second Sight (1989)

323: "An Orifice Of Your Choice" - Tremors 3 Back To Perfection (2001)

This week on Saturday Night Jive we're watching Tremors 3: Back To Perfection.  Why?  Because SNL alum Mary Gross plays Tourist Mom, probably the most respected role in her filmography.  This direct to DVD sequel has Michael Gross (brother to Mary) shooting graboids and ass blasters with the help of a plucky sidekick and a lady who runs a convenience store.  This is te first Tremors film for George while Ben has seen the entire film series and TV show.  The promise of tremors flying with the power of their farts was intriguing but lacked a little something in execution.  You can still listen to us talk about it and I hope you enjoyed the farts.  Enjoy!
