It's Janeane Garofalo week on Saturday Night Jive and Chris Parnell is along for the ride as we watch "Labor Pains", the Lindsay Lohan movie that skipped it's theatrical release and premiered on ABC Family. This is the story of a horrible person who does a horrible thing and is then arbitrarily forgiven for it. Can you not fire pregnant women even if they suck at their jobs? How do publishing companies work? How do you market books? Neither us or the movie seem to know the answers to these questions. Also this is our first podcast in Donald Trump's America so we get a little political, don't worry we get back to the movie shortly afterwards.

87: "Bipartisan Coroner" - You Don't Mess With The Zohan (2008)
We picked Robert Smigel out of the hat and that means we are doing yet another Adam Sandler movie, "You Don't Mess With The Zohan". It's been a while since we've been divided on a film. George thinks that this movie is not worth watching for the few good jokes while Ben thinks the end justifies the means. Rob Schneider crosses Palestinian off the racist Bingo card that is his life and for some reason this movie also features Dave Matthews, John McEnroe and the 'Let's Get Ready To Runble' guy. We also get a little political as we are visited by Hillary supporters mid-podcast. Enjoy!

86: "Iron Lung Poon" - The Ex (2007)
We pulled Fred Armisen's name out of the hat and that means we are watching 'The Ex' a hidden gem from 2007 starring Zach Braff, Jason Bateman, Amanda Peet, Charles Grodin, Mia Farrow, Amy Poehler, Amy Adams, Paul Rudd, Donal Logue... Sheesh, who isn't in this movie? Oh yeah, anyone doing anything funny. An all star cast elicits no laughs in this story about a new dad moving his way up the corporate ladder who has to deal with a new nemesis, a guy in a wheelchair with a big old dick. Ben declares this as possibly the worst movie we've seen yet, so much so that he falls asleep during the podcast. Luckily, we are joined by special guest Nate to drown out his Zzzzzs. Enjoy!

85: "Mother Flipping Viking High Divers" - Airheads (1994)
We're here to talk about a movie featuring 3 SNL alums, Chris Farley, Adam Sandler and Michael McKean all star in 'Airheads' from 1994. This is one of the better movies we've covered on Saturday Night Jive. We assumed a movie we liked as kids would not hold up but we both really liked the characters and thought it was a fun and funny 90s film. Airheads is the story of 3 rockers who take a radio station hostage in order to get their demo played. It also stars Brendan Fraser, Steve Buscemi, Joe Mantegna, Ernie Hudson, Michael Richards and David Arquette, all giving good performances. Enjoy!

84: "Please Don't Send Me To The Cornfield, Ed" - Good Burger (1997)
We're back to discuss yet another Kenan Thompson film. It's Good Burger, the Kenan and Kel film from Nickelodeon Studios. In this cinema classic we follow a mentally challenged young man who gets screwed over and taken advantage of by his best friend. Ed, our favorite fast food employee, is obviously a stoner character but since this is a children's film we just say he's comically stupid. Unfortunately, since he is also a child, it is hard to join in on the fun when all we want to do is make sure he gets home okay. How does Good Burger stay in business when mental defectives run the cash register? Can you make a children's film with murder and cannibalism in it? Why do they send an adult woman to seduce a child? Is there a greater conspiracy involving Ed's wealthy and eccentric family? Who books the guests for Linda Richman's talk show? All these questions will be answered as well as a lot of Abe Vigoda love in this very un-PC episode of Saturday Night Jive. Enjoy!

83: "Troll A Good Novie" - Troll (1986)
It's Brad Hall week on Saturday Night Jive and we are talking about the 1986 classic, also featuring his wife and fellow SNL alum Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Troll. I think we were all a little surprised by how this movie is pretty good. Join us as we watch Harry Potter, Jr. discover that his little sister has been possessed by a troll and is trying to turn his entire apartment into a fantasy world. Enjoy!

82: "A 50 Dollar Bill In A Pile Of Turds" - Little Nicky (2000)
This week on Saturday Night Jive we are talking Adam Sandler's first outright bomb, the 2000 comedy Little Nicky. Here he plays the son of the devil who has to save hell from his evil brothers. It is filled with homophobia, goofy voices and plenty of product placement for Popeye's Chicken. We dance around talking about this movie because it really is a bummer to watch and talk about. We diverge into discussions about Hitler jokes, The Arquette family and insertion shots in porn. Stay tuned next week for a hopefully livelier discussion of a Brad Hall film and check out George's blog http://gabbyawards.blogspot.com/ to read some reviews of SNL from season 20 and his youtube page, "Georgebaileyactor" to see some short films we have made.
