359: "Special Thanks To Elayne Boosler" - Meatballs Part 2 (1984)

This week on Saturday Night Jive We watched Meatballs Part 2 because Bill Murray was in the first Meatballs.  We've never seen the first Meatballs movie but that doesn't matter since this movie was never intended as a sequel to Meatballs.  It was just a movie that resembled Meatballs a lot (we suppose as we've never seen it) that featured a character named Meathead that they renamed Meatballs 2 after the fact.  Life's funny sometimes, but Meatballs 2 is not funny.  There's an alien in this movie, but that's not fun at all.  Richard Mulligan, Paul Reubens, and John Larroquette all waste their talent.  It's a real big bummer of a film but special thanks to Elayne Boosler for all you do.  Enjoy!

358: "Robin Duke Only Exists To Titillate Me Sexually" - SNL S08E06 - Robert Blake / Kenny Loggins

This week on Saturday Night Jive we watched the illusive episode of SNL hosted by alleged murderer Robert Blake.  Was it worth the wait?  Absolutely not.  But could it ever live up to our expectations?  Let's talk about it.  Also, how frigging hot is Mary Gross?  This episode has Robert Blake punching Julia Louis-Dreyfus, a Little Rascals reunion, homophobia in space, and Robin Duke with a saddle on her back.  So, that's the name of that tune and you can take that to the bank.  Enjoy!

357: "I Can't Wait To See G.E. Smith's Face" - SNL S16E16 - Jeremy Irons / Fishbone

This week Ben had the option to pick anything he wanted to watch and he chose the Jeremy Irons episode of Saturday Night Live with musical guest Fishbone.  Why did he do this?  Because he likes Fishbone.  So, what did we learn?  Maybe you shouldn't pick an old episode of SNL for the musical guest because this is one of the most forgettable episodes ever.  On the positive side we get some fun Deep Thoughts and two incredible performances from Fishbone, but nothing else brings the goods.  Jeremy Irons doesn't seem to want to be there, we get a bunch of recurring characters with visits from Wayne's World, Hans & Franz, and The Richmeister, not to mention a Dennis Miller Weekend Update, a cowboy song, a sketch where women love Jeremy's British accent, a sketch about Hannibal Lecter that doesn't mention cannibalism, and Sherlock Holmes's birthday party.  You'll be begging to see some G.E. Smith face.  Enjoy!
