Saturday Night Jive Podcast Ben Bailey

Ummmm, this movie exists.  It's about a bigfoot who plays basketball.  Ben is insane and liked it.  George is realistic and thinks it's a crappy TV movie starring a guy in a cheap looking monkey suit.  You can check it out on YouTube, don't watch the whole thing, or any of it.  No SNL cast members in Big And Hairy from 1998 but Enjoy!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!
