68: "Is That Dave Matthews?" - I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry

Every now and then an issue comes along that only two straight guys can solve.  Adam Sandler and Kevin James play two boobs who decide a domestic partnership is the solution to all of their problems in "I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry".  We will pitch alternate versions of this story where one or both of them are actually gay, discuss why everyone in New York wants a little bit of Sandler's dick and why New York City is the most homophobic city in America.  We also get into the gratuitous Sandler cameos from Dave Matthews, David Spade, Dan Aykroyd, Steve Buscemi, Ving Rhames, Richard Chamberlain, Robert Smigel, Tila Tequila and the Mr. Yunioshi of our times Rob Schneider.  Did we mention that this movie was written by Alexander Payne?

67: "My Blue Eyed Angel" - Clifford (1994)/Normal, Ohio

Saturday Night Jive is back after an extended hiatus.  This week we are discussing the much maligned 1994 Martin Short vehicle "Clifford".  The movie leaves us with a few questions, mainly which came first a movie about a horrible 10 year old kid or a movie featuring a 40 year old man in short pants.  We also discuss our lack of viewing current SNL episodes, the justly cancelled John Goodman sitcom "Normal, Ohio" and a run in with George from the future.  Enjoy!

66: "Smarter Than The Average Hiccup" - Yogi Bear

This week on Saturday Night Jive we are discussing Academy Award nominated Dan Aykroyd's (lest we forget) voice work in Yogi Bear and God bless Andy Daly for saving it.  Why is Yogi Bear a secondary character in his own movie?  Why cast Justin Timberlake as an unrecognizable voice?  Why do we keep putting love stories in movies for children?  How do we save Jellystone National Park?  Why not the fact that it has a god damn talking bear?  Why do people still love fireworks?  We address all of this and more this week, including the Kentucky Fried Conspiracy.  Apologies for the audio quality (we are still figuring out the best way to record since moving) and also for Ben's hiccups.  Enjoy!

65: "Virgin Whore" - Crossroads (2002)

Oh folks!  It is that time again.  This week we are talking the acting debut of Britney Spears.  It's the 2002 film Crossroads featuring Dan Aykroyd and, occasionally, his southern accent.  This movie has it all: infidelity, driving, murder, miscarriages, mysterious blue bottles, karaoke competitions, Kool Moe Dee and time capsules.  Listen as Ben comes to terms with his feelings towards the sexualization of teenage girls, while George is just fine with it.  Get in your underwear, put on your pajamas and enjoy, in that order.

64: "Can A Bitch Get A Donut?" - Highway To Hell, Larry David, Melissa McCarthy

This week on Saturday Night Jive we discuss two episodes of SNL hosted by Larry David and Melissa McCarthy and then dissect a hidden gem from 1991 called "Highway To Hell" featuring two SNL alums; Ben Stiller and Gilbert Gottfried as Attila The Hun and Adolph Hitler, respectively.  Is this movie a comedy, a thriller, a horror, a love story between Satan and a young boy?  Nobody really knows.  Stay tuned after the show for "Maybe The Next Time", the baffling musical choice that ends the movie.

63: "Jeffrey Jones's Balls" - Houseguest

How did Sinbad get in that mailbox?  If you've seen the poster for the 1995 movie "Houseguest", that question has been on your mind for the past 21 years.  This week on Saturday Night Jive we will delve deep into that question and more as we discuss, sadly, one of Phil Hartman's few starring vehicles.  We also question the business model of the mafia, discuss the price of 1994 baseball cards, get to the bottom of Jeffrey Jones's sex offender convictions, get into some mediocre 90s stand-up comedians, pitch a remake of "The Parent Trap" and plan some insurance fraud.  Enjoy and stay tuned for some bizarre Christmas carol parodies performed by the stars of the film.

62: "Dog Satan" - Spooky Buddies

This week we are digging in (get it? like a dog) to another film in the Air Buddies franchise.  We're getting our fright on and talking Spooky Buddies.  This may be the final time we discuss a Buddies film as Ben wants to kill himself.  George feels that we go out on top with one of the better installments (that is until we get to Santa Buddies in December).  Does Harland Williams give a credible performance?  How long can you play Monster Mash?  How horrible are these dog owners?  Who gave a dog a license to run a business?  Is the director of these films making movies specifically for George?  These questions and more on this week's Saturday Night Jive.  Also, we know it's a cheat to watch this movie for the podcast as it features no SNL castmember, but the buddies are all offspring of a dog played by Molly Shannon so it is canon.  See you next time with more shit.
