370: "The Big One Was His Ass" - Canadian Bacon (1995)

This week on Saturday Night Jive we're gearing up for the 2024 election by watching a political comedy from 1995.  Canadian Bacon is the only non-documentary directed by Michael Moore and it's a cold war satire about a fake conflict with our neighbors to the north.  It's fine.  It's the last movie released to feature John Candy's as he died the year before.  It's got Rhea Pearlman obsessed with a building that looks like a penis.  It's got Rip Torn yelling and grunting.  It's got a pretty fun cast also featuring Alan Alda and Kevin Pollak.  But most importantly it features cameos from two SNL alums in Jim Belushi and Dan Aykroyd.  This is our last podcast before the 2024 election but due to an uploading issue it's being released a week later so enjoy that brief moment of time where we still had some hope.  You can also watch this episode on YouTube (search Saturday Night Jive Podcast and you should be able to find it) as we recorded this live to YouTube when we thought we'd never be able to post a new podcast episode.  Anyway, Enjoy!
