    Check It Out: The Mandolorian And Grogu

    Back from the dead as if nursed back to health after a near-fatal poison bite from an aquatic snake dragon, we are here to wax semi-poetic about the return of STAR WARS to the big screen. While there will be no more SNL podcasts from us, there's a chance we might come back with one-off specials like this throughout 2026. If that's of interest to you, we highly recommend letting us know on our social media!  Logistics will follow once we gauge interest, but for now, we hope you enjoy this spoiler-filled review of the film.

    Saturday Night Live, Season 51 Episode 12: Alexander Skarsgård

A brief programming note: The show is on hiatus until after the 2026 Winter Olympics, but we will be putting out content on our Patreon throughout that time. That will include some writing by Ryan on the show as well as other pop culture artifacts such as the new MCU show "Wonder Man."

  8. Check It Out: Heated Rivalry

    Jan 30

    Check It Out: Heated Rivalry

    This was a previously Patreon-exclusive pod we are now releasing on the free feeds. We were both feeling left out by all the conversations surrounding this show, and wanted to see what we were missing.  As an example of how quickly time can go: between the time we decided to record this and actually recorded it, the idea was far less novel than it seemed. And a week later...who knows? But have a listen and find out, as we talk about all that in addition to a great show we both binged. If you want to hear content like this well before anyone else, you should subscribe to our Patreon! Link below as always. https://www.patreon.com/c/NotReadyForPrimetimeSNLPodcast
