314: "I'm Gonna F**k This Dog Man" - Walk Like A Man (1987)

We watched Walk Like A Man starring Howie Mandel as Bobo, a man who was raised by wolves.  He's found by an anthropologist right before he's about to inherit millions of dollars from his rich and deceased father, but not if a very bored looking Christopher Lloyd has anything to do with it.  There are no SNL alums in this movie but it felt like a movie we should watch for the podcast.  But we do talk about Weird: The Al Yankovic Story featuring SNL alum Will Forte.  Enjoy!

313: "Farts, Farts, And More Farts" - Superhero Movie (2008)

We watched Superhero Movie from 2008 featuring SNL alum Tracy Morgan as Professor X, in a scene that was forced into the film by everyone's favorite sex magnet Harvey Weinstein.  We're surprisingly torn on this film.  George thinks it's hilarious and a diamond in the rough when it comes to spoof movies.  Ben thinks it's just an average comedy.  But the one thing we can all agree upon is that it's got one hell of a fart coming out of Marion Ross's ass.  So, Enjoy!

312: "Can We Stop Talking About The Try Guys?" - Taking Care Of Business (1990)

For some reason, in 1990 they remade the terrible film The Couch Trip.  Remember that movie we watched and didn't like starring Dan Aykroyd where he switched places with Charles Grodin and priest suits were involved?  Well, they did it again just a few years later with Jim Belushi taking over Grodin's life and they called it Taking Care Of Business.  We had high hopes for this one.  I mean, the poster has Belushi riding atop an automobile so how could that be a bad movie?  Turns out it's a big old turd of a movie.  Belushi breaks out of prison, steals Grodin's Filofax and uses his identity to bone a lady and see the Cubs win the World Series.  He does at one point pull a Mrs. Doubtfire to break back into prison (upsetting the evil warden played by, of course, Hector Elizondo) but that's not enough to save this movie where everything and anything will work out for our hero no matter how clueless he acts.  Enjoy!

311: "Cheap And Stupid" - Cabin Boy (1994)

We watched Cabin Boy from 1994 starring SNL alum Chris Elliott.  Both of us are big fans of most all of Elliott's work from Get A Life to Action Family to There's Something About Mary to his short lived stint on Saturday Night Live and Eagleheart as well as his novels.  Everything the man has ever done has been hilarious...except his only starring vehicle, Cabin Boy.  A critical and commercial failure originally intended as a directorial vehicle for Tim Burton.  Chris Elliott and his writing partner Adam Resnick wrote a script with a bunch of weird shit in it to appease the batshit crazy Burton.  Then when Burton left they made the movie anyway.  It failed and 25 years later we watched it for Saturday Night Jive.  It's a bit of a bummer but hope you enjoy listening to us talk about it.  Enjoy!

309: "Nobody's Favorite Movie Is Blankman" - Blankman (1994)

We watched Blankman from 1994 starring SNL alum Damon Wayans and if you pay close attention you'll see fellow SNL alum Gilbert Gottfried on the TV in the background of one scene.  This movie also has SNL hosts Jason Alexander and David Alan Grier (who should have been an SNL cast member) as well as Mike Tyson's girlfriend and Jon Polito.  This was originally intended to be a movie starring Howard Stern as his Fartman character but got retooled into a movie that is neither a good comedy nor is it a good superhero movie.  It's a big waste of time but we watched it and talked about it so Enjoy!

308: "Did You Think About The Daddys?" - Chairman Of The Board (1998)

Why did we watch Chairman Of The Board starring prop comic Carrot Top?  Many reasons, 1 - we're dumb and do dumb things, 2 - Norm MacDonald referenced it on a talk show once, 3 - It's got the great Larry Miller in it (who is kind of an honorary Saturday Night Jive alum at this point).  Carrot Top's big screen debut took the world by storm in 1998 and over 20 years later we watched it and talked about it.  Enjoy!
