367: "Father Guido Sarducci Never Breaks Character" - SNL S4E3 - Frank Zappa

By popular demand we watched a "classic" episode of SNL from Season 4 hosted by Frank Zappa.  This episode is notorious for being terrible and Zappa has been on many Worst Host Ever lists.  Turns out it's all true.  This sucked.  Zappa doesn't give a shit during the whole episode, every sketch is way too long, and it's a pretty dismal affair all around.  George defends Zappa a little (at least musically) but Ben hates this man's guts.  Take a trip up to Freak Mountain and hang with us as we don't do drugs.  Enjoy!

366: "Tinkerbell Is Dead" - Thomas And The Magic Railroad (2000)

This week on Saturday Night Jive we watched Thomas And The Magic Railroad from 2000 starring 17-time SNL host Alec Baldwin as Mr. Conductor.  So this was a huge mistake.  Turns out this movie isn't interested in helping you understand what the hell is going on so we spend the majority of the podcast simply confused by the lore of magical trains who don't move their mouths when they talk.  We also had no idea this was related to Shining Time Station starring George Carlin and Ringo Starr as Mr. Conductor, we thought that was a different thing.  It could be a totally different thing, this could have nothing to do with anything, we have no clue and the movie doesn't seem to either.  Help us construct this 1,000 shit puzzle as this is the most perplexing movie we've watched since Southland Tales.  Enjoy!

365: "Soak My Coark" - Jimmy Fallon Breaking - An SNL Recurring Character Study

And we're back with yet another installment of our award winning segment ...And We're Back! where we take a deep dive into an SNL recurring character and watch all their appearances.  This week we did something a little different.  Instead of watching a recurring character we watched a selection of SNL sketches where Jimmy Fallon adorably broke character and giggled.  We picked some doozies but surprisingly we don't put too much blame on Jimmy.  Don't get us wrong, he sucks and we don't like him, but these sketches were turds to begin with and Jimmy just turned them into giggly turds.  We got some recurring characters in the mix with Jeffrey's, The Leather Man, The Lovers, Debbie Downer, and of course his most recognizable impression Osama Bin Laden.  Hope you appreciate all we do for you.  Enjoy!

364: "A 2004 Burrito" - White Chicks (2004)

This week on Saturday Night Jive (actually almost a year ago on Saturday Night Jive) we watched the 2004 comedy White Chicks starring SNL alum Damon Wayans.....'s brothers Shawn and Marlon as horrifying creatures that we are expected to believe can pass as rich white women.  This was intended to be a "lost episode" of the podcast just because I thought the movie was bad, I didn't enjoy talking about it, and why should I spend my time putting together something I don't want to work on.  But at long last you can hear our thoughts on this film that probably shouldn't have been made in the first place.  A ludicrous premise handled poorly, there could possibly be a good movie hiding somewhere in here but we couldn't find it.  We do get another sighting of Lochlyn Munro though who pops up way too frequently on this podcast.  Enjoy!

363: "Give Me Some Funny Banjo" - Shana and Trina - An SNL Recurring Character Study

And we're back with yet another installment of our award winning segment ...And We're Back! where we take a deep dive into an SNL recurring character and watch all their appearances.  This week we watched two characters from the same performer.  Kristen Wiig is an absolute delight as Shana, the hot lady who does weird things but befuddles us as Trina, a different lady who does weird things.  For some, neither may work or both my work.  For us, we definitely enjoyed one more than the other.  It is fascinating that two characters from the same performer with basically the same premise can have such wildly different outcomes.  In both, Kristen enters a scene, grosses out or annoys the people in the scene and they react in a way of "Wow, can you believe how crazy and annoying that character is?".  So what makes them so different?  Is it just because we are more attracted to one?  We'll dive in and find out on this week's episode of Saturday Night Jive.  Enjoy!
