165: "It's Like A Metaphor" - How Sweet It Is (2013)

Well, we finally did it.  We reached out our hands to George's DVD shelf and watched the obscure Joe Piscopo musical from 2013, How Sweet It Is.  What a surprise this was.  We liked it!  Piscopo turns in a good performance, the movie knew when to be absurd and when to be sweet.  6 years after buying this, we found that it was money well spent.  Enjoy!

164: "Urine Scenes And Facials" - Hollywood And Wine (2009)

 

This week we watched Hollywood And Wine featuring SNL alums Chris Kattan, Norm MacDonald, Horatio Sanz and David Spade.  Written and directed by the brothers of late great SNL giant Chris Farley, Kevin and John Farley.  This movie gives us the answer to the question, is comedy genetic?  Turns out, No.  This movie is pretty abysmal except for the brilliant performance of Norm as an old school porn director and the exuberance of Horatio as the main character's best friend who has a penchant for throwing food items.  We also talk a bit about the premiere of SNL season 44 and Kanye West's pro Trump outburst.  Enjoy!

162: "It's F**k Or Treasure Hunt" - Million Dollar Mystery (1987)

Oh man, oh man.  We just found my new favorite movie.  Million Dollar Mystery stars a cast of dozen C-level comedians in a straight rip-off of It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World...and it's awesome.  SNL alum Rich Hall co-stars as Vietnam vet Slaughter Buzzard so we watched it and it did not disappoint.  When it was funny it was funny, when it wasn't funny it was so bad it's good funny.  Tom Bosley dies from a bowl of chili and tells a room full of people about $4 million dollars he hid on 4 different bridges.  They chase after it but along the way they meet wrestlers in a motor home, Kevin Pollak doing impressions, guys eating toxic waster, film noir style private eyes, industrial size shredders, all the while Eddie Deezen is just trying to get his rocks off with his new bride.  I unabashedly loved this movie and there is also a bizarre piece of trivia about this film.  There was a tie-in promotion with Glad trash bags where you could win $1 million if you followed the clues.  Spoiler alert: The movie ends with a dude looking straight into camera and basically telling you to enter the contest.  It's weird, but also beautiful.  Watch this movie and listen to us talk about it.  Enjoy!

161: "If You Think It's Poop, Give It A Taste" - The Year Without A Santa Claus (2006)

Our final 5 timers club member John Goodman is our subject this week and did you know that in 2006 he starred as Santa in a live action television adaptation of The Year Without A Santa Claus?  Also featuring SNL alums Michael McKean as Snow Miser and Chris Kattan as Sparky the Elf, this film is cheap, horribly edited, nonsensical at most points but also has a charm all its own.  It's not a good film by any means but it's pleasant.  How does Santa make a profit?  Why is the magical telescope coin operated?  How many mottos can one man have?  Did Chris Kattan have pinkeye?  All these questions and more on this week's Saturday Night Jive.  Enjoy!

160: "I Shoulda Smoked Weed" - Rude Awakening (1989)

Welcome back to the show, man.  This week we watched a Buck Henry movie from 1989 starring Eric Roberts and Cheech Marin.  Rude Awakening is about two hippies who hide in the jungle for 20 years only to come back and find out that their friends have all sold out.  It starts off really good and then quickly becomes terrible.  Then it has a hilarious ending that made us question what exactly the movie was trying to say.  Are the hippies the good guys or the bad guys  Is Eric Roberts a narc?  Is that the fakest fake beard to exist in a film?  These questions and more on this week's episode of Saturday Night Jive.  Enjoy!

159: "Porn And Corn" - Going Ape (1981)/Twins (1988)

We pulled SNL 5-timers club member Danny DeVito out of the hat so we watched Going Ape from 1981 starring Tony Danza and a couple of monkeys.  20 minutes later, the file we were watching stopped working so we did what anybody would do.  We started watching Twins from 1988 starring DeVito and Arnold Schwarzenegger.  But we didn't want to waste any time so we started it 20 minutes in.  So this is a film where Tony Danza is forced to live with 3 chimpanzees and Danny DeVito.  Just as the mob is starting to get involved the movie jumps ahead 7 years and Danny is a small time hood who finds out he is the genetically inferior twin brother of a muscle bound Austrian.  It's weird.  Join in on the madness and enjoy!
