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 partne...

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. This week we're covering a very divisive character from a very divisive human being. It's Carol! starring Horatio Sanz in a dress. She's a big, crude, loud woman who loves ordering off the menu, taking dumps, smoking blunts, and most especially alluring men with her wit and charm. Enjoy as we cover every Carol! sketch a...

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...

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!

Apparently Laraine Newman is in The Flintstones . I just watched the movie and I don't believe it. Supposedly she's on the TV in the background of a scene playing news reported Susan Rock, an exceptionally funny pun. We watched the live action adaptation of a cartoon nobody cares about starring 13 time SNL host John Goodman and the sexy and enchanting star of Exit To Eden, Rosie O'Donnell. It's a terROCKic conversation for a FLINTastic movie. Enjoy! Full archive of all podcast episodes available...

We're talking Clue this week on Saturday Night Jive . Starring an all star cast that includes Tim Curry, Christopher Lloyd, Madeline Kahn, Martin Mull, Colleen Camp's cleavage, Howard Hesseman, and SNL alum Michael McKean . Heralded as a cult classic, we found it to be a huge disappointment. The most interesting thing about this is the fact that it was released in theaters with three different endings. The home video release includes all three endings stitched together. A bizarre marketing gimmi...

This week on Saturday Night Jive we're watching another classic SNL episode from the notorious Season 6. Lorne Michaels leaves the show and takes the cast and writers with him. When the show comes back they've hired an all-star cast that includes Joe Piscopo, Gilbert Gottfried, Denny Dillon, Ann Risley, and of course, Charlie "Mutha-fuckin" Rocket. This is the episode where it all came screeching to a halt. Dallas star Charlene Tilton hosts with musical guests Todd Rundgren and "new talent" Prin...

We're cheating again on this week's episode of Saturday Night Jive , but do you call it cheating when we hate winning? We watched Disaster Movie from 2008 which features no SNL alums (but does reference SNL related movie You Don't Mess With The Zohan, along with every other movie that came out in 2008). A few years ago we watched Epic Movie featuring Darrell Hammond so we decided (for some dumb reason) to go back to the well of Friedberg and Seltzer for another scoop of fun. This movie sucks, bu...

Welcome back to Saturday Night Jive where we talk about Saturday Night Live and Saturday Night Live related movies. Except for this week, it's another freebie pick as we watched Collision Course starring Jay "Poopy Butt" Leno and Pat Morita. This movie has no SNL connections but just felt like a movie we should have watched by now. Jay and Pat are two buddy cops on the hunt for a stolen turbo charger and...some stuff happens. It's a 90 minute movie with 2 or 3 great scenes. Tom Noonan explodes i...

Welcome back to Saturday Night Jive. This week we're talking Death Wish from 1974 starring Charles Bronson and a young Christopher Guest (who was a cast member on SNL, look it up). This is a different type of movie than we normally cover, we usually don't deal with as many graphic rape scenes. So, this isn't the usual comedy cavalcade we routinely bring you, instead it's a dissection of a film that spawned violent sequels and real acts of violence. Should it still be watched in modern society? H...

Why did we watch A Billion For Boris ? Because we're dumb? Well, yeah. Because SNL alum Tim Kazurinsky is in it? I guess. Because George thought it was about a monkey who wins the lottery? Perhaps. Or is it just because this is Saturday Night Jive the podcast where we talk about random and obscure movies featuring cast members of Saturday Night Live and sometimes we land on a film nobody has ever heard of, will ever hear of, will ever watch, or will have any interest in whatsoever. Seth Green ma...

It's our 300th episode! And we're celebrating by doing this act of stupidity in person for the first time since 2020. We watched Brian De Palma's 1986 "comedy" Wise Guys starring SNL alum Joe Piscopo and 5-timers club member Danny DeVito as well as the feature film debut of Captain Lou Albano and his giant underpants. It was a piece of shit so we spend most of the episode talking about other crappy movies we've seen like Jurassic World: Dominion, Lightyear, and Elvis (featuring frequent SNL host...

Get ready for some Rodney Dangerfield impressions because we watched My Five Wives a Rodney comedy from 2000 featuring SNL alum Molly Shannon . It's fine. What more did you expect from one of the last movies starring a comedy legend? Rodney plays a very old man who buys land in a Utah town that comes with 3 wives. Then he gets married to 2 more ladies. If you're counting along at home, that makes 5 wives this guy has to have sex with constantly. Andrew Dice Clay plays a mobster (because of cours...

It's 3 episodes for the price of 1 this week on Saturday Night Jive as we watched some episodes of old sitcoms featuring SNL alums, all of which are available on YouTube. First, Dan Aykroyd stars in Soul Man as a widowed priest with too many kids who wants to fuck but can't because of his devotion to God. Then we talk about One Of The Boys starring old ass Mickey Rooney and a baby face Dana Carvey . Rooney plays a man who left the old folks home to move in with his grandson's college dorm. In th...

We watched Americathon from 1979 starring no SNL alum. It's another cheat week. We tried to watch King Ralph starring 13 time SNL host John Goodman but turns out it was hella boring so we watched this instead featuring host of the first episode of SNL George Carlin , former host Jay "Poopy Butt" Leno boxing his mother, notorious musical guest Elvis Costello , and one-time SNL musical guest Meat Loaf wrestling a car. It's a weird movie that tries to be a satire of how low we will sink in the far ...

It's a cheat week on Saturday Night Jive . If you don't know our premise after almost 300 episodes, we usually watch movies featuring SNL alum but this week we dug into the barrel of film obscurity and pulled out A Fine Mess from 1986 starring one-time SNL host Ted Danson and Howie Mandel in a remake of a Laurel & Hardy short. This Blake Edwards directed piece of shit is certainly an oddity but we're torn on whether it's an obscure artifact you should know about or if it ever should have exi...

We watched Jane Austen's Mafia from 1998 starring SNL alum Jay Mohr and featuring the last performance of the legendary Lloyd Bridges. What a turd! I guess we should have known that before we watched it, but we can now confirm that this movie blows. A parody of The Godfather, which came out 26 years earlier, by the A in ZAZ Jim Abrahams. A bunch of bad jokes, some puke, some farts, and an old man near the end of life being forced to fall down a lot. Enjoy! Full archive of all podcast episodes av...

We lost the great Gilbert Gottfried recently so as a tribute we watched his performance in Problem Child from 1990. This is a prequel to Problem Child 2, which we previously covered on this podcast starring John Ritter and Amy Yasbeck as two parents who adopt a red-headed piece of shit who causes a whole bunch of trouble. Gilbert plays the adoption agent who barely factors into the film, but did make it to both sequels. RIP Gilbert, those tsunami victims can make fun of you now. If you listened ...

We’re finally doing it. We watched Feds starring SNL alum Mary Gross and it turned out to be a huge waste of time. Tony Longo’s performance as the sailor aside, this movie was one of the most dull and pointless we’ve ever watched. Was it meant to be a comedy? How many pizzas can a man eat? How many Tremors sequels are there? Who the fuck is Tony Longo? These questions and a lot of wheel spinning on this week’s episode of Saturday Night Jive . Enjoy! Full archive of all podcast episodes available...

And we're back with another installment of our award winning segment And We're Back where we take a deep dive into the life of an SNL recurring character. This week we talk about Mickey The Dyke a short lived Cheri Oteri character who appeared in 5 sketches to the delight of millions. Watch her co-host a show with Chicken Lady, wait patiently for the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue, emcee a lesbian comedy night, come out to her family, and finally graduate to becoming the head of programming f...

We're dumb. We watched Police Academy 4: Citizens On Patrol . This is the first movie in the Police Academy series we've seen. We thought it would be funny to watch the 4th one, because it features SNL alums Tim Kazurinsky and David Spade . Turns out, they were really running out of steam by the time they got to this one. How dumb was America that people kept going to the theater year after year to see another Police Academy movie? Steve Guttenberg's final entry in the series has the group of pr...

It's a bare-knuckle debate over Corky Romano starring Chris Kattan . Is it, as Ben says, an awful piece of shit? Or, is it a comedy classic starring this era's Buster Keaton? Only you can decide as George and Ben are torn on this 2001 comedy that was ghost written by Paul Thomas Anderson on a 10 day coke bender. Kattan stars as the titular Corky, the son of a mobster, who infiltrates the FBI to recover evidence against his family. It's basically The Departed with a few more farts. Enjoy! Full ar...

Let's go get some whores with Dan Aykroyd and Kirk Douglas! We watched Diamonds from 1999 starring Kirk, about 3 years after having a severe stroke, as a man who has had a severe stroke and goes on a road trip with his son and grandson to find some diamonds he hid in his youth. Along the way they bond, crash cars, get mugged by hobos, gamble with John Landis, and spend about half the movie in Lauren Bacall's whore house. This is a pretty bad movie, but there is an extended sequence where Dan Ayk...

It's Horatio Sanz week on Saturday Night Jive and we watched Tomcats from 2001 starring SNL's favorite loverboy Horatio, Jerry O'Connell, Jake Busey, Shannon Elizabeth, and the Academy Award winning performance from Bill Maher as Carlos, the Las Vegas casino boss. It's a raunchy comedy from before we cared about other people's feelings. You want misogyny, homophobia, and David Ogden Stiers chowing down on a human testicle? Then this is the film for you. We learn that things we liked when we were...

In 2019 we watched Grown Ups 2. So it's about time we see where it all started with Grown Ups featuring a cavalcade of SNL alums dicking around for a weekend. You got Sandler, Spade, Schneider, Rock, Rudolph, Meadows, and Quinn. They're all here and they're all...doing nothing. It's like The Big Chill with more farts and bunions. Where did Schneider go between movies? Why are they all so mean to him? Is Grown Ups 2 a major improvement? Why was Norm MacDonald cut out of this movie? These question...

We watched Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star starring SNL alum David Spade as a guy who became famous on a sitcom when he was a kid. Now he's auditioning for a Rob Reiner movie but has to move in with a family and pretend to be their son because...it will make him a better actor? I dunno. This is one of the laziest movies we've ever watched with a stupid fucking plot that makes no sense. It's just sad all around, especially for poor Ian Gomez who is forced to deepthroat a Twinkie for laughs and ...

Oh, goodness. Welcome back to ...And We're Back the series in our podcast where we dive into an SNL recurring character and discuss everyone of their appearances. We watched all 3 Uncle Roy sketches and that turned out to be a big mistake. For the unfamiliar, Uncle Roy was a character played by Buck Henry and the gag is that he's a pedophile uncle who comes over to babysit the kids. We watch him take pictures of girls in their underwear, rub their private areas, and basically indulge in kiddy di...

And we're back with another installment of our award winning segment ...And We're Back where we dive into the history of an SNL recurring character. This week we're talking about Joey Mack , a Jimmy Fallon creation who's a one-man morning zoo crew with a cavalcade of problematic voices. We go on a journey through all 5 of his appearances and, surprisingly, grow to appreciate him. Speaking of problematic, we also watched the sketch where he played Chris Rock in blackface because why not? If that'...

We watched Mac & Me from 1988 about a tiny alien with a butthole mouth. Why? Because Christine Ebersole is in it, that's why. You think that's stupid? Well, listen to this.

We watched Harold from 2008 featuring SNL alums Chris Parnell , Rachel Dratch , Colin Quinn , and Jim Downey . Written and directed by former SNL writer T. Sean Shannon, this was based on a short film that aired on SNL and follows Spencer Breslin as a bald 13 year old who acts like an old man and gets fingers up his bum. This was a colossal waste of time but does include a solid performance from Cuba Gooding Jr, possibly our favorite that we've seen for the podcast (that is, until we watch the D...
