That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)

One thing many new podcasts try to generate is chemistry that comes across (or acrosst) natural, whereas this AWESOME and EPIC display of friendship, does just that on this pod! Love these guys, and love how conflicted they are usual by the time the rate the ep. Been listening from the start, took a few years off and now I’m BACK binging; do yourself a favor, (if you love sketch comedy and friendship), give ‘em a shot! Peece!

I appreciate a podcast that goes deep into SNL episodes of yore. I also listen to Saturday Night Network and appreciate the variety of voices they have on each episode. I just listened to the Sarah Michelle Gellar/BSB episode and I have some comments to make regarding the boy band discussion. Max Martin and Swedish pop producers were responsible for the sound of BSB, NSYNC, and Britney, so the opinion that Backstreet Boys influenced Britney and other pop stars seemed blind spot-ish when they all worked with the same producers and writers. I understand this isn’t a boy band podcast, but I think certain discussions would benefit from more diverse viewpoints.

Ride or Die SNL fans may find some of the critiques to be harsh; but these guys take a thoughtful and respectful approach to de-constructing your favorite sketches and cast members. It’s very Norm of them, to continue castigating Norm, at a time when it’s in very poor taste ;-)

Great to relive the shows, however, these guys to often don’t get the jokes, and that comedy in its self. For instance, in one skit, they couldn’t figure out why Dana Carvey, as Jimmy Stewart was reading a poem about his dog. All the while, the skit was poking fun at Jimmy Stewart really doing this on the Johnny Carson show in the 70’s. Still a good podcast though. These clowns also complain about an episode, talk how stupid skits were, how they didn’t understand any of them, complain how offensive skits were, then give the show a 4.5 out of 5 rating….😂
