• 371: "Serving C*nt" - SNL S45E13 - RuPaul / Justin Bieber

  This week on Saturday Night Jive we're mourning democracy as we watch an episode of Saturday Night Live. It's Season 45, an era of the show that George doesn't even enjoy and Ben really hates. RuPaul hosts and Justin Bieber sings. Don't worry, you'll get to hear George's opinions about Kitty Scott Claus as well as Ben's pleas to hunt down all Trump supporters. This is not a good episode of SNL. It's not a terrible episode, it's just kinda boring. We get some Thirsty Cops, RuPaul reading some books, two random ladies screaming in a restaurant, two other random ladies sitting on a couch talking about shit, a family game of Charades going wrong, Chad gets dolled up like a drag queen, a debate cold open that Ben didn't even watch, and the immortal Beck Bennett ruining his life over a game of Boop-It (which is the only thing we liked in the whole episode). Enjoy!

• 370: "The Big One Was His Ass" - Canadian Bacon (1995)

  This week on Saturday Night Jive we're gearing up for the 2024 election by watching a political comedy from 1995. Canadian Bacon is the only non-documentary directed by Michael Moore and it's a cold war satire about a fake conflict with our neighbors to the north. It's fine. It's the last movie released to feature John Candy's as he died the year before. It's got Rhea Pearlman obsessed with a building that looks like a penis. It's got Rip Torn yelling and grunting. It's got a pretty fun cast also featuring Alan Alda and Kevin Pollak. But most importantly it features cameos from two SNL alums in Jim Belushi and Dan Aykroyd. This is our last podcast before the 2024 election but due to an uploading issue it's being released a week later so enjoy that brief moment of time where we still had some hope. You can also watch this episode on YouTube (search Saturday Night Jive Podcast and you should be able to find it) as we recorded this live to YouTube when we thought we'd never be able to post a new podcast episode.

• 369: "Right In Them Dimples" - Three To Tango (1999) and SNL's Hottest Cast Members

  This week on Saturday Night Jive we watched Three To Tango for some reason. A romantic comedy starring 3 one-time SNL hosts in Matthew Perry, Neve Campbell, and Dylan McDermott where Chandler Bing has to pretend he's gay to appease his boss while romancing his boss's mistress. We thought it would be more problematic than it turned out to be. So as a bonus to a conversation on a mediocre and forgettable movie we also rank the Hottest SNL Cast Member by fan request. So listen to us drool over some hunky and sexy Not Ready For Primetime Players then listen to us talk about Matthew Perry's hair.

• 368: "All Your Holes Are Filled" - SNL S7E4 - Donald Pleasence / Fear

  As you're gearing up for spooky season we watched the spookiest episode in Saturday Night Live history. It's the infamous Season 7 episode hosted by Donald Pleasence with musical guest Fear. This episode aired on Halloween night and the show took full advantage of that. We get a British soldier sawing his own leg off, a woman cleaning up the mess from her recently murdered husband through song, a pumpkin committing seppuku, a family sitting down to a sugar breakfast, a random John Belushi cameo, a talk show ending in murder, Brian DePalma ripping off Hitchcock, body horror with joggers, a Jekyll & Hyde Jerry Lewis, and most terrifying of all a musical version of MacBeth. This one's got a lot of blood, a lot of gore, and concludes in one of the most infamous musical performance of all time. Grab your smashing pumpkin and don't forget to vomit for luck . Enjoy!

• 367: "Father Guido Sarducci Never Breaks Character" - SNL S4E3 - Frank Zappa

  By popular demand we watched a "classic" episode of SNL from Season 4 hosted by Frank Zappa. This episode is notorious for being terrible and Zappa has been on many Worst Host Ever lists. Turns out it's all true. This sucked. Zappa doesn't give a shit during the whole episode, every sketch is way too long, and it's a pretty dismal affair all around. George defends Zappa a little (at least musically) but Ben hates this man's guts. Take a trip up to Freak Mountain and hang with us as we don't do drugs.
