334: "You Can't Blame The Mustache" - Surf Ninjas (1993)

This week on Saturday Night Jive we take another dip in the Rob Schneider pool and watched Surf Ninjas from 1993.  The story of two young boys and their 30 year old friend who discover that they are actually the heirs to a kingdom on a magical ninja island.  Only one thing stands in their way, cyborg Leslie Nielsen.  With the help of a magical SEGA Game Gear and Tone Loc they complete their quest to reclaim their throne.  There's not much surfing and the ninja stuff is boring.  This is pretty much a huge waste of time other than Rob Schneider in a Hitler mustache.  Enjoy!

333: "Gags And Goofabouts" - Moving Violations (1985)

This week on Saturday Night Jive we watched a movie starring Bill Murray...'s brother, not the one you're thinking of.  No, not that one either.  It's the John Murray classic Moving Violations.  Also starring Stacy Keach's brother, Meg Tilly's sister and an Academy Award worthy performance from the 'Where's The Beef?' lady.  This movie has it all.  Car chases, montages, a puppet van crashing into a funeral home, Fred Willard inspecting a lady like an automobile, an old lady sitting on a urinal, sex in a space simulator, animated clothes getting it on, and more.  Where exactly was the beef?  And should we still be avoiding The Noid?  All this and more on this week's episode.  Enjoy!

332: "Harry Eats Seattle" - Harry And The Hendersons (1987)

This week on Saturday Night Jive we watched Harry And The Hendersons from 1987 starring 3-time SNL host John Lithgow and the immortal Kevin Peter Hall in a bigfoot costume.  This film left George in a world of wonder while Ben is too jaded and cynical to enjoy such whimsy.  Rick Baker won an Oscar for making a terrific character that for some reason the marketing department decided to hide from all advertisement.  You won't see Harry on the poster or in the trailers, you have to pay money to see this.  What happened?  The movie didn't do well commercially but it did inspire a TV sitcom that lasted 3 seasons (somehow) which we get into the weeds with.  Is John Lithgow our greatest living actor?  Did Harry just run out on his family?  These questions and more on this week's episode.  Enjoy!
