345: "Fumble-rooni" - Necessary Roughness (1991)

We're digging into the Rob Schneider bucket once again this week as we watched Necessary Roughness from 1991 featuring the Robmeister calling plays for a football team full of underdogs.  Let me ask you a question.  If I said I found a movie that features Scott Bakula, Kathy Ireland, Larry Miller, Robert Loggia, Sinbad, Senator Fred Thompson and of course Hector Elizondo would you think that it would be the greatest movie ever?  So did we, but we found ourselves another thoroughly mediocre sports comedy.  Enjoy!

344: "A Disturbing Crush On Elizabeth Holmes" - Good Burger 2 (2023)

We're finally here.  A podcast years in the making  We're finally going back for another taste of Ed's special sauce with Good Burger 2 starring Kel Mitchell and Kenan Thompson and featuring a cavalcade of SNL cameos like Leslie Jones, Pete Davidson, Ego Nwodim, Molly Kearney, Michael Longfellow, Andy Samberg, Mikey Day, Bowen Yang, and Maya Rudolph.  We also get some cameos from All That alumni as well as some old lady who thinks she's got something on Abe Vigoda and apparently Sinbad (somewhere, I didn't see him).  Who wanted this, we do not know, but we got it.  Enjoy!

343: "Fountains Of Racist Jizz" - Mango Part One - An SNL Recurring Character Study

And we're back with another installment of our award winning segment ...And We're Back! where we take a deep dive into an SNL recurring character and watch all their appearances.  We're also back to doing episodes of Saturday Night Jive after a hiatus that is all Garry Marshall's fault.  This week we're talking Mango played by the inimitable Chris Kattan.  This character has more layers than we anticipated.  Since there are so many SNL appearances from Mango we decided to push ourselves to the limit and see how many we can watch before we tap out.  Surprisingly, we wanted to keep going but that would have resulted in a 4 hour podcast so consider this part 1 of the Mango saga.  We also track down the whereabouts of Chris Gaines and Greg from Dharma & Greg.  Enjoy!

Sketches Include
Mango - Season 23, Episode 14 hosted by Garth Brooks
Mango - Season 23, Episode 20 hosted by David Duchovny
Mango & Kiwi - Season 24, Episode 5 hosted by David Spade
Mango - Season 24, Episode 18 hosted by Cuba Gooding, Jr.
Mango - Season 25, Episode 4 hosted by Dylan McDermott
Garth Brooks Monologue - Season 25, Episode 5 hosted by Garth Brooks
Dressing Room - Season 25, Episode 5 hosted by Garth Brooks
Mango - Season 25, Episode 8 hosted by Danny DeVito

342: "Don't Worry Fat Kids" - Joe's Apartment (1996)

It's Ben's pick this week on Saturday Night Jive and since he's not bound by the rules of picking movies that relate to SNL we watched the Don Ho classic Joe's Apartment from 1996.  A beautiful love story about a kid in the big city fighting against corporate greed and trying to make his way in a world that doesn't understand him.  Also there's animated roaches that annoy and ruin every scene with their sped up voices.  This movie stars Jerry O'Connell, Robert Vaughn, and the amazing thespians Don Ho and Pepa.  MTV's first foray into feature films is a big old mess.  It's also not that interesting to talk about so we spend the majority of the podcast talking about George driving his wife to an emergency room through a tornado and playing a new game based on the website Common Sense Media.  Enjoy!

341: "Just The Times When It Really Stinks" - SNL S20E05 - Sarah Jessica Parker / R.E.M.

You like hearing people talk about an old ass episode of SNL?  Well, this is the podcast for you!  This week on Saturday Night Jive we watched Season 20 Episode 5 hosted by Sarah Jessica Parker with musical guest R.E.M..  It's one of the worst episodes in the show's history.  This was the week where Michael O'Donoghue died and the Republicans took control of congress and the whole show feels like a liberal wake.  We got some good old fashioned SNL racism with a sketch taking place in a Fortune Cookie Factory, bad Brooklyn accents, Adam Sandler and Michael McKean fighting over Sarah through song, some classic Norm MacDonald jokes, Robert Evans trying to rape young ladies, and quite possibly the worst SNL sketch ever in Munchkinland.  Enjoy!

340: "Gee, I Hope These Kids Bone" - Camp Nowhere (1994)

This week on Saturday Night Jive we watched another cheat pick.  Camp Nowhere from 1994 has no SNL alums in it but it does have Christopher Lloyd as a former drama teacher who lives in a van becoming the only adult supervision to a group of Lord Of The Flies wannabes.  A bunch of shitty kids decide to start their own summer camp with no rules.  It's the horniest movie starring children you'll ever watch (but you shouldn't watch it).  Also featuring Biff from Back To The Future, M. Emmett Walsh, the shy nun from Sister Act, and two kids who would later join weird sex cults.  Enjoy!

339: "Full Frontal Ray Romano" - Welcome To Mooseport (2004)

This week on Saturday Night Jive George's wet dreams become a reality as we finally watch Welcome To Mooseport starring two-time SNL host Ray Romano in his feature film debut and two-time Oscar winner Gene Hackman in his final time on screen.  This 2004 comedy follows a small town handyman who runs for mayor against the former President of the United States.  It's a Frank Capra-esque movie filled with colorful locals and one naked man.  It's not very funny, it's not very entertaining, it's not very memorable, but we watched it so now you have to listen to us talk about it as well as a deep dive discussion on soft-core pornography.  Enjoy!
