102: "Testing The Jew Pants" - North (1994)

Rogert Ebert lived a long life and saw a lot of movies, this guy saw 'Caligula', 'Stop, Or My Mom Will Shoot", every movie we've seen for this podcast, but no movie filled him with so much hate other than Rob Reiner's North from 1994.  This is movie has a cavalcade of SNL alums including Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Jon Lovitz, Dan Aykroyd and Alan Zwiebel.  Does the movie deserve the scorn it got?  Yes and no, it's perfectly inoffensive but it does have its faults.  Why would you put a character named Mr. Fingers in a children's movie?  Why include a tired Bruce Willis as an unnecessary narrator?  Why so casually racist?  Who is gonna test those jew pants?  Does George have a blatant ignorance about eskimos?  What does Dan Aykroyd feed his ass?  All these questions and more in this weeks Saturday Night Jive.  Enjoy!

101: "Not Much, But I Did Take That Big Shit" - Wagons East (1994)

You didn't think a 1990s western comedy could be worse than 'Almost Heroes', did you?  Well we found some more scum at the bottom of that barrel that also features an SNL cast member.  'Wagons East' starring Richard Lewis and John Candy and featuring a pretty funny performance by Mr. I'm Gonna Say The F Word On Live TV Then Get Murdered In A Cornfield And Call It A Suicide himself, Charles Rocket.  What a coincidence that 2 famous overweight comedians died filming bad western comedies.  The most interesting part of this movie if trying to spot a dead man's stunt double.  We talk about whether or not John Candy was actually a comic actor or just an actor who appeared in comedies, because he's not that funny, ponder some more theories on Charles Rocket's death and make a stand for legal murder.  Enjoy!
Also, if you're interested the Charles Rocket as a robot TV pilot we mention is called 'Steel Collar Man' and you can watch some of it on YouTube, and it is insane.

100: "Oh, Me Gibbers" - Johnny Be Good (1988)

Happy 100th episode!  In honor of that milestone we have accidentally unearthed one of the most incomprehensible movies ever made.  It's Johnny Be Good starring SNL alums Anthony Michael Hall and Robert Downey, Jr.  AMH plays a high school football star who is courted by college recruiters in this slightly absurd but painfully uninteresting film.  If you like bad improv, RDJ mugging and screaming, kicks to the nuts and musicals about interracial romances then this is the movie for you.  We find out a new euphemism for penis, get introduced to Uma Thurman, listen to a horrible Judas Priest cover song and question why the fuck we are still doing this after 100 episodes.  Enjoy!

98: "Hey, That's My Robot" - The Experts (1989)

It's Brian Doyle-Murray week on Saturday Night Jive and we have unearthed an insanely fun 80s oddity, The Experts.  John Travolta and Arye Gross star as two dumbass 80s nightclub guys who get kidnapped and sent to a secret town in Russia to open a happening go-go American nightclub in order to teach Russian spies how to be hip like MTV.  SCTV's Dave Thomas directed this comedy that is so 80s it even features a cool 80s robot.  It's a 80s Hope and Crosby-esque Road movie complete with montages, long dance sequences, bad hair, a commentary on socialism vs. capitalism, old ladies getting dildos, disturbing sex scenes and did I mention cool 80s robots?  John Travolta met his wife on this film and we get to see them consummate their marriage.  Sorry for the political talk in the middle but a movie about Russian politics got us into a thing.  Definite recommendations on this one.  Check out The Experts and enjoy us talking about it and George's shitty John Travolta impression.

97: "Lips And Assholes" - The Great Outdoors (1988)

One more round of Dan Aykroyd as this week we are talking about The John Hughes penned The Great Outdoors.  This episodic comedy features a terrific performance from the Oscar winning Bart The Bear but is very light on gags.  We discuss the creepiness of twins, the shitiness of Nintendo games, Dan Aykroyd's dieting tips, swap stories about bats and raccoons, and the ridiculous lack of plot in this movie.  Does Robert Prosky have "Bear Shining"?  Why does a restaurant even have a 96 ounce steak in the freezer to serve to customers?  Was Robert Prosky planning a 'Weekend At Bernies' subplot?  Why is John Candy so mad at Dan Ayrkoyd when half of the time it is his own fault that he is having a miserable time?  All this and more on this weeks Saturday Night Jive.  Enjoy!

96: "Thanks For The Buttcheeks, Darwin" - Evolution (2001)

This week on Saturday Night Jive we're back to Big Fat Dan Aykroyd and his re-teaming with Ghostbusters director Ivan Reitman in the 2001 film Evolution.  Also featuring an appearance by SNL alum Sarah Silverman, this big budget sci-fi comedy is brought to you by insane product placement by Head & Shoulders shampoo.  What do you do with such a product?  Well, you can wash your hair with it, or shove it up your ass as this movie does.  There's a big alien asshole in this movie and we spend most of the time talking about that but also discuss George's invalid theories of evolution, squids with 5 buttholes, Orlando Jones's fascination with butts, Julianne Moore's over qualifications for this movie, David Duchovney's lack of charisma and much more.  Enjoy!
