Saturday Night Jive Podcast Ben Bailey

And we're back with yet 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 watched Goat Boy in all his glory.  As we established the last time we did this with Mango we are giving ourselves an out.  There are 10 SNL sketch appearances of Goat Boy and we're here to see how many we can stomach before calling it quits (spoiler alert, we don't make it to all 10).  We may one day revisit this one-note character from Jim Breuer but not today so sit back, relax, and listen to the madness that happens when two guys try to sit through 45 minutes of a man making goat noises for our amusement.  Enjoy! Sketches IncludeGoat Boy Sings Popular Songs From The 80's - Season 21, Episode 19 hosted by Christine BaranskiHey, Remember The 80's - Season 22, Episode 1 hosted by Tom HanksHey, Remember The 80's - Season 22, Episode 4 hosted by Dana CarveyA Christmas Greeting From Goat Boy - Season 22, Episode 9 hosted by Rosie O'DonnellCharlie Rose - Season 22, Episode 13 hosted by Chevy Chase Full archive of all podcast episodes available at saturdaynightjive.blogspot.comEmail us anything at saturdaynightjivepodcast@gmail.comDownload Here

The Other Sister directed by our good friend Garry Marshall and starring Juliette Lewis and Giovanni Ribisi as two mentally challenged adults who find love is a movie that shouldn't have been made.  We shouldn't have watched it.  In fact, this movie killed the podcast for a little bit as it sent George down an existential rabbit hole where he questioned all reality.  We recorded this episode a while ago but decided not to release it for a variety of reasons (don't worry, it's not like it's terribly offensive or anything but that should explain why we talk about the lead singer of Smash Mouth dying several months after it happened).  What was originally going to be a lost episode is now available for you to listen and judge us for picking a movie like this to watch and then realize that we can't mock it without sounding like dickheads.  Just remember, we're good people who made a mistake.  There's not even an SNL alum to justify this so we should learn from this and stick to only watching movies starring Dan Aykroyd or Tim Kazurinsky on Saturday Night Jive.  Enjoy!

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!
