Get ready for the most magical time of your life as Academy Award winner Javier Bardem dances with a CGI crocodile voiced by Shawn Mendes in the delightful Lyle Lyle Crocodile also featuring SNL alum Ego Nwodim.  While George thinks this is a wonder of modern cinema (possibly due to a dangerous amount of psychedelic substances), Ben can't enjoy things because he's dead inside.  Take a look at us now and Enjoy!

352: "Six Seasons And A Movie" - SNL Failed Pilots

This week on Saturday Night Jive we're talking some television pilots that never got picked up to see a full season that feature some SNL alums.  We watched Norman's Corner starring the late, great Gilbert Gottfried and written by former SNL writer Larry David.  The also late and also great Charles Rocket stars as a spaceship captain in the sci-fi spoof Star Patrol.  There's also Supernerds starring Patton Oswalt, Brian Posehn, and one-season SNL alum Sarah Silverman.  We watched the practically flawless pilot for The Grubbs starring Randy Quaid and a pre-Arrested Development Michael Cera.  Then we cheated and watched Where's Rodney? starring one-time SNL host Rodney Dangerfield because we were enchanted by the theme song.  Should any of these shows have gotten the chance to entertain the masses?  We think two of them should, the other three are probably right at home in history's dustbin.  Enjoy!

351: "Give It To Mushnik" - SNL At The Oscars

It's Hollywood's biggest night and Saturday Night Jive is celebrating.  In honor of Robert Downey Jr. becoming the first SNL alum to win an Oscar we're talking about all the Saturday Night Live cast members who have ever been nominated for acting awards.  This gives us an opportunity to talk about some actually good movies that we would otherwise never cover on this show dedicated to the absolute worst of an actor's career.  We talk Oppenheimer, Chaplin, and Tropic Thunder for RDJ, Joan Cusack's two Oscar nominations with Working Girl and In & Out, Randy Quaid's early nomination for The Last Detail, Bill Murray in Lost In Translation, Dan Aykroyd bizarrely getting an Oscar nod for Driving Miss Daisy, Eddie Murphy losing for Dreamgirls to Alan Arkin, and SNL cast member for one episode only Laurie Metcalf in Lady Bird.  We also discuss the actual Oscar winners, the nominees, and who we would have voted for in each category.  Enjoy!

350: "I Need Ass Cream For My Ass" - The Jerky Boys The Movie (1995)

You know what's not fun?  Crank phone calls.  You know what's even less fun?  Staged crank phone calls.  Get out your ass cream and dust off your offensive accents, we watch The Jerky Boys: The Movie from 1995 starring The Jerky Boys, Alan Arkin, Big Pussy, William Hickey, and the guy from Frankenhooker.  No SNL alums this week, Ben picked some random shitty movie to watch, once again proving the truth that there are shitty movies that don't feature Rob Schneider.  Enjoy!

349: "Get A Look At Them Nubs" - SNL S9E16 - Michael Douglas / Deniece Williams

It's been said many times on this podcast, George loves him some Mary Gross.  For all you doubters out there, he proved why by forcing Ben to watch an episode of Saturday Night Live from Season 9 hosted by Michael Douglas.  Coffee infused blood, totally rad 80s music videos, busty 7 year olds, a town without feet, a host with an open headwound, and blackface.  This one has it all and we're in agreement that it's pretty solid.  You got a demonic Jim Belushi in an ice cream shop, Tim Kazurinsky blowing up cars, Gary Kroeger flying over desks, and a dude that looks kinda like Kenny Loggins.  Plus two bops from musical guest Deniece Williams.  Join us for a Mary Gross boner that you'll never forget.  Enjoy!

348: "Motorboating Bebe Neuwirth" - Wild Palms (1993)

Do you like Twin Peaks?  Then you'll be utterly confused by Wild Palms almost as confused as SNL alum James Belushi who apparently didn't understand the script so just showed up on set and read his lines.  Can't blame you, Jim.  This is an indecipherable piece of nonsense.  So the story is that ABC wanted to have another weird show to replace Twin Peaks after they ruined that show with studio meddling.  They came up with this miniseries about a guy who is looking for the lost kid of his ex-lover and also has nightmares about rhinos and Robert Loggia squealing like a pig.  There's also virtual reality where a shitty sitcom can beam to your couch.  It's produced by Oliver Stone (who makes a cameo), it takes place in the future (watch for subtle hints because they do nothing with the fact that it's in the future), and it's a big old mess.  While I doubt we'll watch any other episodes to see how this story pans out, we watched the 90 minute pilot which is available on YouTube and try to make sense of it.  Stay tuned for next week to answer the ultimate question, will Ben get a boner from Mary Gross?  Enjoy!

347: "Scarred-Up Burnt Sex" - Pay It Forward (2000)

You want Oscars?  Get two-time Academy Award winner Kevin Spacey on the phone.  Sweeten the deal with Academy Award winner Helen Hunt.  Throw in Academy Award nominee Haley Joel Osment.  But you really looking for Oscar gold?  Then you need Jon Bon Jovi and, more importantly, SNL alum Jay Mohr.  We watched Pay It Forward from 2000, a movie that is a failure on multiple levels.  Little Haley Joel Osment tries to change the world with kindness.  His mother's a drunk, his teacher has burns all over him, his best friend is a hobo junkie that looks like Jesus.  Jay Mohr is on the hunt for a big scoop.  Then most of the movie is devoted to trying to get Kevin Spacey and Helen Hunt to bone burn victim style.  Stay for the last 3 minutes if you want to see a kid get stabbed for no thematic reason.  Enjoy!
