Speaker 1: Welcome to Movie Crush, a production of I Heart Radio.
Speaker 1: Hey everybody, welcome to Mini Crush Monday with Noel and Chuck.
Speaker 1: How are you doing, Mr? E l? Oh my god.
Speaker 1: I was about to if you're if you're gonna spell
Speaker 1: it n o L? I was like, you do even
Speaker 1: know me? Do you even know that's that's no lay lay? Yeah,
Speaker 1: the accent goes over the mine doesn't have a room
Speaker 1: out over the e because I would make it no L.
Speaker 1: But I used to spell it that way for fun
Speaker 1: when I was like a brooding team, because I thought
Speaker 1: put at over because I thought it made it seem
Speaker 1: more cool, you know, but should be new, very interesting.
Speaker 1: Nol Uh. You know we're gonna do this week? No
Speaker 1: do tell. I think I might have done this before
Speaker 1: in the past, but I can't remember. We're going to
Speaker 1: do a Saturday Night Live special, one of my old
Speaker 1: favorite shows. No Al. I started watching Saturday Night Live
Speaker 1: um when I wasn't supposed to. As a child, I
Speaker 1: was not allowed to watch it. I would sneak it
Speaker 1: to irreverent yep, I would sneak it in the early
Speaker 1: days as a young child, and uh I watched it.
Speaker 1: Have have watched it consistently. I haven't watched every single
Speaker 1: season all the way through, but I've been a consistent
Speaker 1: fan since I was like nine years old, and UM
Speaker 1: been through all of the ups and downs. I think
Speaker 1: it's had a few dips here and there, but overall,
Speaker 1: I think a remarkably consistently funny show overall for sketch
Speaker 1: and sketch is tough. It's a hard medium, they think
Speaker 1: the UM. I kind of had my way of watching it,
Speaker 1: which is I will buzz through a sketch if it's
Speaker 1: not very funny. I don't sit there and waste my time.
Speaker 1: I will always watch the second to the or I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: the last sketch of the night, because that is the
Speaker 1: placeholder for the weird ones. I'm not sure if you
Speaker 1: knew that or not. It makes sense like that would
Speaker 1: be a where what's his face? My favorite guy on
Speaker 1: the on the newer seasons the weird guy. Who's the
Speaker 1: weird guy Davidson, No, the weirder guy. The guy is
Speaker 1: the really trippy one. He's got kind of long, stringy hair. Um.
Speaker 1: I'm not as acquainted with the names of this newer season,
Speaker 1: uh this late late latest season, because i've been a
Speaker 1: little more spotty the past couple of years. Are you
Speaker 1: talking about Oh my god, hold on Kyle Mooney. Kyle Mooney,
Speaker 1: Oh sure, he's he's a Scotch, he's he writes a
Speaker 1: lot of sketches and he's in him. But he had
Speaker 1: like a troop like in l a that he did
Speaker 1: all these crazy YouTube videos before he was even on SNL.
Speaker 1: And he also made a film called Briggsby Bear that
Speaker 1: I haven't seen because I don't think it's streaming anywhere.
Speaker 1: But it's pretty supposed to be like very Michelle Gondry
Speaker 1: ask and and like you know it trippy and and
Speaker 1: and and beautiful, and I just really like his sensibilities.
Speaker 1: But I was my My whole point was he he
Speaker 1: writes some of the weirdest, like off the Beaten Path
Speaker 1: sketches I think that are on SNL these days. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I like Beck Bennett. Uh, he's come around on me.
Speaker 1: I think he's very funny. Pete Davidson, I can take
Speaker 1: her leave, I think. Uh. The News has always been
Speaker 1: one of my favorite segments over the years, and they've
Speaker 1: gotten it right up most of the time, got it
Speaker 1: wrong sometimes. But I think Joast and Shay are pretty good. Uh,
Speaker 1: enjoy their new segments. Uh, and then that you know,
Speaker 1: it's that last sketch for me after the second musical
Speaker 1: appearance is always the fucking weird when you know I'm
Speaker 1: in love with Adie Bryant. Um. Kate McKinnon, of course
Speaker 1: is a legend already on that show. I think who
Speaker 1: else is on their knol Um? You know, I can't lie.
Speaker 1: I actually really don't watch it unless there's a clip
Speaker 1: that goes viral or if it's like, you know, one
Speaker 1: of these Kyle Mooney ones that's super weird that doesn't
Speaker 1: even make the cut, incessively strong. She's great. Back Bennett
Speaker 1: is was was Kyle Mooney's bro Like they were in
Speaker 1: that like weird l a sketch troop together in the
Speaker 1: YouTube days. That makes sense. Yeah, he's a good straight man.
Speaker 1: And he was on Adie Bryant show too, which was great. Uh.
Speaker 1: And of course Keenan Thompson, I mean he's a legend. God,
Speaker 1: he's just I've been I'm I've been following him since
Speaker 1: you know, Good Burger and all that. You know he's
Speaker 1: an Atlantic guy. I didn't know that he is. And
Speaker 1: he uh, he's got this great line from I was
Speaker 1: reading a big in depth article about SNL and being
Speaker 1: on the cast and how so many young cast members
Speaker 1: get really worked up about being on the show, you know,
Speaker 1: and when they're their sketches get cut, they get really
Speaker 1: upset and stuff like that. And Keenan Thompson was always
Speaker 1: just very very much the the zen master for these
Speaker 1: younger kids, and his line was, it's just sketches, man,
Speaker 1: It's just sketches, right, Like it's all come out in
Speaker 1: the wash to stick around. I think I might have
Speaker 1: mentioned to you that I've sort of become somewhat pally
Speaker 1: with Danny tam Barelli, who played Little Pete on the
Speaker 1: Adventures of Pete and Pete, which was a really iconic
Speaker 1: show for me personally. It was like it's definitely before
Speaker 1: after your time, but it was like it had a
Speaker 1: bunch of really interesting indie musicians on it, like um
Speaker 1: Iggy Pop played a regular on it, like he was
Speaker 1: one of the character's dad's and it was the first
Speaker 1: time I ever heard of who Iggy Pop was. And uh,
Speaker 1: like the dude from The Violent Thembs plays a substitute
Speaker 1: teacher and there's a lot of great cameos. But um
Speaker 1: I just kind of cold reached out to him about
Speaker 1: maybe you wanted to do something together, and we sort
Speaker 1: of hit it off and we sort of like text
Speaker 1: and chatter right now and then. But he he was
Speaker 1: on all that as well, which is like the kids
Speaker 1: sketch comedy show on Nickelodeon that Keenan Thompson was on. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I love it. So we're gonna go with uh, let's
Speaker 1: start out with this one favorite all time show character
Speaker 1: show Cadwell. I don't know if I can pick one.
Speaker 1: It's tough. Like the first thing I think of is
Speaker 1: everything that Kristen Wigg did, uh, you know, Target Lady
Speaker 1: to the little uh, the the one with the tiny hands,
Speaker 1: like I don't even know she had a name. I
Speaker 1: mean she she's just one of the iconic character creators
Speaker 1: on that show. I think um Will Ferrell, Tracy Morgan,
Speaker 1: Tracy Morgan doing the Brian Fellow. Bryan Fellow is one
Speaker 1: of my favorite characters of all time. I'm a big
Speaker 1: fan of the Old Prospector sketch with Will Ferrell where
Speaker 1: it's like the Army you know, meeting, I guess whatever
Speaker 1: you call that, like strategic meeting, and then he's the
Speaker 1: old prospector and he just you know, is this playing
Speaker 1: this old prospector and it's just a perfect device, Manu.
Speaker 1: It's just you know, wonderful fish out of water kind
Speaker 1: of situation. I like Stefen, the Bill Hayder character, that's
Speaker 1: a good one. Who was um diver of course, and
Speaker 1: that's it just a more recent like fifteen or twenty
Speaker 1: years and there if you want to go back to
Speaker 1: the old days with Martin short on that great season
Speaker 1: with Ed Grimley. Yeah, there's just so many. The Church Lady,
Speaker 1: of course, it's a little on the nose, but it
Speaker 1: was a great character. I think that was something that
Speaker 1: was I liked about it. I liked that it was
Speaker 1: on the nose because it was like, like I said,
Speaker 1: there was something that was sort of comforting about it,
Speaker 1: like you where it's like, okay, I know exactly what
Speaker 1: this is and he's doing. I will also like Linda Richmond,
Speaker 1: you know, also very on the nose, like of like
Speaker 1: coffee talk or whatever. But in Sandler had some great ones,
Speaker 1: you know, Operaman and I mean these are classic iconic characters.
Speaker 1: So we're gonna start off with Jim Jim Winepress says us,
Speaker 1: I know, it was just Halloween, but David S. Pumpkins's
Speaker 1: the Tom and the story behind that was like you know,
Speaker 1: classic SNL, like making it up as they go where
Speaker 1: I think they I don't remember exactly the details, but
Speaker 1: what ultimately ended up becoming the sketch was not what
Speaker 1: it was originally intended to be. That's all I can say.
Speaker 1: But it was you know, can you imagine the stress
Speaker 1: of working on the I mean, of course you can
Speaker 1: imagine it, but it's just like it's like a day
Speaker 1: or two days of you know, just brutal writing or more,
Speaker 1: and then no, it's a week and all week and
Speaker 1: then you rehearse leading up to it and then yeah,
Speaker 1: you're cutting things last minute and there's qu cards and
Speaker 1: the whole thing. It's just a yeah, man, I bet
Speaker 1: it's a rush, and then you party balls till the
Speaker 1: wee hours of the morning afterwards. It's probably true those
Speaker 1: legendary parties. Melissa Reynold says, anything Phil Hartman did, and
Speaker 1: most of Mike Myers characters, Simon Dieter, the skull Shop owner,
Speaker 1: and of course Wayne and Garth. What about Sprockets? Was
Speaker 1: that det was that in Sprockets? Yeah? Yeah, now is
Speaker 1: the time, Wheta. It's great, good stuff. Michael Fanks is
Speaker 1: justin Timberlake when he does the mascots for the various
Speaker 1: businesses Welcome to Omlettville. Yeah, those are funny, Robert, these
Speaker 1: are gonna be things I'm gonna have to check out, because,
Speaker 1: like I said, I'm very not not selective, like I'm
Speaker 1: a snob. I just some of this goes over my head.
Speaker 1: I just passes my under my radar. I hear you.
Speaker 1: Robin and Rona says Stephen hands down my favorite. Genevan Valen,
Speaker 1: one of World Friends, says love Linda Richmond. Yeah, that
Speaker 1: was a great character. I definitely use the klempt in
Speaker 1: my day to day, you know, quite a lot. Jonathan
Speaker 1: Cooley says theater from Sprockets, I kind of miss Mike Myers. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: apparently not the nicest of guys, but he definitely was
Speaker 1: iconic on that show. Matt WinChip says every character from
Speaker 1: Keenan Thompson, but especially his What's up with that? That's
Speaker 1: a good one. It's a good sketch. These all just
Speaker 1: make me laugh thinking about it. Uh. Taylor Harlow, Now
Speaker 1: this is one of the ones I don't remember the name,
Speaker 1: but uh it was one that Will Ferrell did with
Speaker 1: SHERRYO Terry where they were like passionate love makers and
Speaker 1: they got all gross in the hot tub and remember that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the waters on the surface class beneath that is a
Speaker 1: flurry of activity. There's there's the quote from Taylor Harlow.
Speaker 1: Uh says this then we made love was close to
Speaker 1: two pounds of roasted duck meat in our stomachs. Yes,
Speaker 1: it's very good. Uh, Gilly, this comes from Vanessa Cashman,
Speaker 1: that great Kristin winning character. Gilly. She did that little
Speaker 1: funny dance Kristin. Glenn Kiss, one of her old pal says,
Speaker 1: still loved The Ladies Man. Out of date and inappropriate,
Speaker 1: but love hearing Tim Meadows voice, That's right. I love
Speaker 1: The Ladies Man too. He was on it. He was
Speaker 1: on it like historically a long time. Like I mean,
Speaker 1: I know, I know Keenan is now you know, definitely
Speaker 1: takes the cake for that, but I believe that dose
Speaker 1: was on it for quite a long time. Yeah, he was.
Speaker 1: He used to work out at the Hollywood y m
Speaker 1: c A. When I would go, we had the same schedule,
Speaker 1: so I would see Tom Meadows like three days a week. Uh.
Speaker 1: Edwin Forest Glenn says, I understand that it wasn't actually funny,
Speaker 1: but the Falconer always cracked me up, loved me some fote. Dude.
Speaker 1: Will Forte was by far the weirdest best character ever
Speaker 1: on that show as far as doing really, really truly
Speaker 1: weird stuff. He had one recently that I want rewatched.
Speaker 1: Uh ship, what was the sketch? It was him and uh,
Speaker 1: oh god, who's the Sadakis? Jason and Sadekas was applying
Speaker 1: for a job and Forte had like a I played
Speaker 1: a bowl of potato chips or something that he didn't
Speaker 1: want him to eat. It was You'll just have to
Speaker 1: check it out. It's really weird. Like Will Forte was
Speaker 1: so strange. I'm so glad I got to meet that
Speaker 1: guy Tom Well, what was that like? Was he like
Speaker 1: pretty chill? Like? Later? Dude? He was amazing And it
Speaker 1: was a wedding of friends, so it was like party time.
Speaker 1: He was he was. He was great. He was kind
Speaker 1: and funny and fun as hell to get drunk with
Speaker 1: and hang out with for one night. I may have
Speaker 1: mentioned on the show before that I have a buddy
Speaker 1: who went to college with Chris parnell Um and I've
Speaker 1: had I had had dinner with him once and he
Speaker 1: was just the most lovely guy, just super humble and gracious.
Speaker 1: And I was like playing in the band at the
Speaker 1: time and we played at this little restaurant that my
Speaker 1: friend owned where we were having dinner, and he was
Speaker 1: just like so complimentary to the point of like like
Speaker 1: really like it was I mean, he was very sincere.
Speaker 1: It was clear that he was very sincere. But he
Speaker 1: just really enjoyed it and was so kind about it.
Speaker 1: So that was cool. That's awesome. Yeah, it's it's just
Speaker 1: called the Potato Chip Sketch. Will Forte just it's six
Speaker 1: minutes long. Watch it. When he got were Enemies to
Speaker 1: my list, uh and out there in podcast land, it's um,
Speaker 1: check out the Potato Chips Sketch. It's so weird. So
Speaker 1: Dacas was great. He was a really solid character too,
Speaker 1: or solid actor on that show. Zack Pointer goes old
Speaker 1: school with the Blues Brothers. Of course, what's their whole deal?
Speaker 1: They they blow everything up, right, like everywhere they go.
Speaker 1: There's like yeah, like in the movie anyway, right, isn't
Speaker 1: there Like there's always like mass chaos and annihilation never
Speaker 1: where they go or is it that's just really I mean,
Speaker 1: it's just you know, it's just sort of high jinks
Speaker 1: and adventures and things like that. Classic good movie. Check
Speaker 1: it out. Yeah, Brian Fellow, we got meg Um Boss
Speaker 1: Karan with Brian Fellow, one of the great great characters,
Speaker 1: the danger of and Gail Kun says Sean Connery on
Speaker 1: Jeopardy Forever and Always. Yeah, those are great. He he
Speaker 1: was a legend, did so many great character voices, the rapist,
Speaker 1: that's therapist will Well. Ferrell didn't get enough credit in
Speaker 1: those for being the straight man as Alex Trebeck. Oh, totally, totally,
Speaker 1: because he's so rarely is the straight man kind of right,
Speaker 1: He's more known as b Ing, the the non straight man,
Speaker 1: the weird guy. Yeah, I think so so. Yeah, he
Speaker 1: did a great tribecc uh. Mary beth Ward mcdonnald says,
Speaker 1: I feel like Jimmy Fallon does not get enough SNL
Speaker 1: love the Boston Kids with him and Rachel Jatch with
Speaker 1: my favorite Noma. Yeah that was a fun sketch. I mean, listen, Fallon,
Speaker 1: Fallon gets by on charm. He was never the best
Speaker 1: SNL cast member but he was charming and likable, and
Speaker 1: he cracked up a lot, and that's really kind of
Speaker 1: gets people going. He was known for laughing within the sketch,
Speaker 1: and you know, people like seeing that stuff because it
Speaker 1: means they're having a good time. But I'm not a
Speaker 1: fallon guy overall. Like, I think he's nice enough and fine,
Speaker 1: but I never thought he was like the funniest dude.
Speaker 1: But that's just me. Well, he's he's always he's like
Speaker 1: notorious for breaking character right and like like cracking up
Speaker 1: or whatever. But I think he's a fine late night host.
Speaker 1: I think he's definitely more suited for that than he
Speaker 1: was for like sketch because he's just don't watch it,
Speaker 1: but yeah, it's I don't. I'm not a late night
Speaker 1: guy either way, except for Cone and I always love
Speaker 1: Conan and now it's nice to see him like doing
Speaker 1: something a little different except piece horning in on our
Speaker 1: podcast business. That's fair. Let me see here, Liz Hill says,
Speaker 1: drunk uncle. I think that was Bobby moynihan. That was
Speaker 1: pretty good, Hans and Franz. Kyle Mooney is baby Yoda
Speaker 1: that I love Baby Yoda and I love Kyle Mooney
Speaker 1: I need to see this Debbie Downer that comes from
Speaker 1: Jim Spencer and the great Rachel Dretch and then the
Speaker 1: Chippendale audition. Of course, Matt Foley's getting a lot of
Speaker 1: love here, Joshua Hill. You know, Matt Foley, motivational speaker,
Speaker 1: living in a band down by the river and totally
Speaker 1: classic stuff. Let me see, we'll finish up this one
Speaker 1: with two Erica. Sam says Will Ferrell's Harry carry that
Speaker 1: was really funny. He was a great Harry Carry Matt
Speaker 1: Frederick from stuff that he wants you to know. And
Speaker 1: you know, just Podcast World at Large does a fabulous
Speaker 1: impression of the Will Ferrell Harry carring. He really does.
Speaker 1: He really does have to get Maddie to do that.
Speaker 1: And then finally Justin writes his Kate McKinnon as Ruth
Speaker 1: Bader Ginsburg always made me laugh out loud. Yeah, Kate
Speaker 1: McKinnon is great, immense, immense talents. Noll. All right, No,
Speaker 1: so the next thing we're gonna move to is uh
Speaker 1: favorite movie starring a former cast member? You got one
Speaker 1: off the Dome. I just like Wayne's World a lot,
Speaker 1: but I think no, that's a different category. That's SNL characters.
Speaker 1: This is favorite movie starring a former cast member, so
Speaker 1: I could say in translation, Okay, well yeah, yeah, that's okay,
Speaker 1: good point. Um, that's funny you should say that. That
Speaker 1: is kind of one of my favorite movies. Uh okay,
Speaker 1: you scooped me on that. I hate to put words
Speaker 1: in your mouth. That's where they belong in my mouth. Uh.
Speaker 1: David the Old Gooch says this wouldn't say favorite, but
Speaker 1: Jenny Slate's Obvious Child was incredible. Yeah, she's great. Was
Speaker 1: she had it was? She was? She on S and L.
Speaker 1: I didn't even know that she was. She was on
Speaker 1: very briefly. She very famously dropped an accidental F bomb,
Speaker 1: and I think that was kind of the end of
Speaker 1: hers as it goes. Yeah, yeah, I can't do that. Nope.
Speaker 1: Becca Loo says elf not a big Will Ferrell fan,
Speaker 1: but that movie and his performance are perfect. Well, Becca,
Speaker 1: we're gonna forgive you for that, because Will Ferrell's the best.
Speaker 1: Um let me see here. Kelly Ferris Marks is tough one.
Speaker 1: But Bride'smaids, Anchorman, Stripes, and Beverly Hills Cop. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: many great movies and all from these actors. I really
Speaker 1: liked Beverly Hills cop. I know they're sort of like
Speaker 1: maybe a little heavily eighties, but maybe you don't know
Speaker 1: a little dated. But I really enjoyed that movie. First,
Speaker 1: it holds up. I think let me see Her Saw.
Speaker 1: Mc farland says, hands down. Christmas Vacation, all right, good movie.
Speaker 1: I'll go with the original Vacation over that one. But
Speaker 1: it's good. Zok do say hello, Zach, great name, Welcome
Speaker 1: to the show, oh Man. Favorite Bill Murray movie. I guess.
Speaker 1: Then the Ghostbusters versus Groundhog Day versus Rushmore. I guess Rushmore. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Rushmore is great. Yeah, I'm just a sap. And that's
Speaker 1: something about lost in translation of the soundtrack and just
Speaker 1: the cinematography and the everything about that movie just does
Speaker 1: it for me totally. Uh Schlump Karen Schlump. Hugh says
Speaker 1: Animal House was constant rotation in the early days of HBO,
Speaker 1: and I would watch it every time. We gotta vote
Speaker 1: for step Brothers from Courtney Hoover with Will Ferrell. Stepbrothers
Speaker 1: is great. One of the funnier movies. Scott Theolds has
Speaker 1: Talladega Nights, the Ballot of Ricky Bobby by far the
Speaker 1: greatest movie ever made by an SNL alumnus. Okay, that's
Speaker 1: the that's the high praise. I do love the rivalry
Speaker 1: with his character and the Sasha Baron Cohen like you
Speaker 1: just kind of generically European race car driver, you know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's fun. Vanessa Cashman says Bridesmaids hilarious, so many quotable lines.
Speaker 1: Kristen wigg And she has that gift of her on
Speaker 1: the plane, I'm ready to party. So great. That whole
Speaker 1: plane scene, I mean that that made the movie. The
Speaker 1: whole movie is funny, but you could just cherry pick
Speaker 1: the plane scene and it would be some of the
Speaker 1: greatest comedy ever. Doesn't she get like does she take
Speaker 1: like a valium or something, takes a pill? He gets drunk.
Speaker 1: She tries to sneak into first class. Oh it's so funny. God,
Speaker 1: she's great. That's very good. I mean, one of my
Speaker 1: favorites of all time. Kristen wigg Let me see. Laura
Speaker 1: Bjorkland says uncut gems maybe, ah, yeah, I don't even
Speaker 1: think about that. Yeah, yeah, it's amazing. Steve Debrees stays
Speaker 1: with Sandler with the wedding singers and also mentions stripes.
Speaker 1: Kelly Conklin, how I married an X murderer and she
Speaker 1: has the gift of hid move good movie did you
Speaker 1: see that one? I love the part where he's like
Speaker 1: doing the beat poetry kind of like the she was
Speaker 1: like what like she was my wife? Something that that
Speaker 1: that that that that that that that. I can't remember
Speaker 1: the the lyrics though, Yeah, it was very good. Alan
Speaker 1: Casey is a Blues Brothers fan. Pretty classic. Leah Bush says,
Speaker 1: mean Girls with Tina Fey. Yeah, I mean Girls is awesome,
Speaker 1: very funny movie. My friend saw the musical before Broadway
Speaker 1: got you know, canceled. Uh was that gonna debut? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know he saw it in previews maybe, but it was.
Speaker 1: It was fantastic. And I think, uh, Tina Fey's husband
Speaker 1: as a composer and he did the music, so it's
Speaker 1: actually it's not just like some passed off, you know, adaptation,
Speaker 1: like it's very much in the in the family. Yeah, totally. Uh, Ethan,
Speaker 1: you haven't her old friend, Ethan, you have? And Forrest
Speaker 1: says coming to America hands down, And on that note,
Speaker 1: nol coming to America. The sequel, I believe has just
Speaker 1: moved to Amazon from their previous studio. So I think
Speaker 1: this December that will be coming on your television set.
Speaker 1: I can't wait. I don't have high hopes and I
Speaker 1: think it's not a great idea, but part there's a
Speaker 1: ten percent part of me that's like, oh, please be great,
Speaker 1: Please be great. Wasn't it tho? Wasn't there a scene
Speaker 1: in Uncut Gems where like the dude from Coming to
Speaker 1: America was like shared a floor with Sandler's character and
Speaker 1: he tries to get his kid to be able to
Speaker 1: use his bathroom and he's answered the door really briefly
Speaker 1: and it's like funk off, but it's the dude from
Speaker 1: Coming to America and he introduces him as that is
Speaker 1: it comedic? Genius? Is it so and so from Coming
Speaker 1: to America? And what what movie is that? In Uncut
Speaker 1: Gems there's a scene where like, you know, he's trying
Speaker 1: to sneak into his apartment because he thinks his girlfriend
Speaker 1: is like killed herself or something, you know, and then
Speaker 1: like you know, he's trying to get his kid to
Speaker 1: use his neighbor's bathroom and it's the dude who was
Speaker 1: like remember the Dougal's guy, like he ran the brush, Yes, totally.
Speaker 1: I Uh, I haven't seen and cut Jim since it
Speaker 1: came out, but yes, now I remember, so I guess
Speaker 1: he was playing himself. He was playing himself and he
Speaker 1: was kind of a that's exactly right. But it was
Speaker 1: just funny that he like, his whole purpose there was
Speaker 1: to like kind of a dick and not let him
Speaker 1: use the bathroom and then look shut the door. Yeah,
Speaker 1: John Amos, look at me, and he's got a great face.
Speaker 1: He was. Of course, I grew up with him on
Speaker 1: good times. That is where I know him. That's right.
Speaker 1: It wasn't good time, wasn't it. Yeah, he was a dad.
Speaker 1: All right. Now we're gonna finish up our SNL special
Speaker 1: with this what's your favorite movie based on an SNL character?
Speaker 1: So this is kind of what you were thinking about
Speaker 1: Wayne's World. For me, that's the one that I just
Speaker 1: I watched it with my kid recently, and the absurdest
Speaker 1: comedy of it sort of translates to this generation, you know,
Speaker 1: if you know what I mean? Yeah, you know. Here's
Speaker 1: the deal with SNL character movies is they're not many
Speaker 1: great ones. Uh, there are a lot of missteps because
Speaker 1: sketch they're meant for sketches. Yeah, it's tough. It's tough
Speaker 1: to translate that into a feature film. Um. I was
Speaker 1: always medium cool on Wayne's World. I didn't like dislike it,
Speaker 1: but I get it and I get why people love
Speaker 1: those characters so much in that movie. I was always
Speaker 1: just sort of like, they're okay, they didn't really I
Speaker 1: think what their deal is is Wayne's World. The sketch,
Speaker 1: it was charming, but it never made me really laugh
Speaker 1: out loud a lot. I didn't think it was like
Speaker 1: a drop dead funny but it was. It was okay.
Speaker 1: I like the characters. I feel you, um, but just medium.
Speaker 1: I think for me, it hit me just the right time.
Speaker 1: It was what ninety three or something like that, or
Speaker 1: ninety four, like I was, you know, I don't know,
Speaker 1: because it is. It's not laugh out loud funny all
Speaker 1: the time, but like that Bohemian rapsody sequence is so
Speaker 1: iconic and probably if you're one line is like if
Speaker 1: you have to spew, spew into this, you know, there's
Speaker 1: just like some funny little lines that are repeatable and
Speaker 1: then it's just like kind of warmed its way into
Speaker 1: my psyche. Yeah, I mean, Garth was very fun. You
Speaker 1: just kind of love that character. Uh, and Rushelle Jones
Speaker 1: says or Rachel, I don't know which one that is,
Speaker 1: says Wayne's World A gun rack? You bought me a
Speaker 1: gun rack. I don't even own a gun, let alone
Speaker 1: mini guns, which would necessitate an entire gun rack. Well,
Speaker 1: see that's where the delivery is everything. Check us, He says,
Speaker 1: I don't even own a gun let alone many guns
Speaker 1: to necessitate an entire rack. Are you mental? You know
Speaker 1: gun a gun? Yeah, that's a little I know that movie.
Speaker 1: You know my brother worked on the sequel. Yeah, ways,
Speaker 1: we'll do less good. But we watched him back to
Speaker 1: back and I still found it enjoyable. Yeah, and his
Speaker 1: reporting of Mike Myers and Dana Carvey was two thumbs up.
Speaker 1: They're both very nice guys, very cool. I would hope
Speaker 1: that about data. I think I think Mike has maybe
Speaker 1: got a little crotchety in his Shrek ears. Um so
Speaker 1: I've heard, but whatever, who knows? Who knows what? People? Uh,
Speaker 1: let me see here, Um superstar that comes from Jennifer Dalci,
Speaker 1: you know what. I love that character, but I never
Speaker 1: saw that movie. Yeah, it's a good I mean, she's
Speaker 1: one of my favorite Molly Shannon is just there's a
Speaker 1: place in my heart for her and only for her,
Speaker 1: and I did love that character. But for some reason,
Speaker 1: that movie I had a bad feeling about. I knew
Speaker 1: it wasn't gonna be It's Pat. You like, it's bad,
Speaker 1: legendarily bad movie. Weans in it though, that's what I heard.
Speaker 1: I think I've seen that scene on YouTube and that's it.
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's pat not good and you know, not
Speaker 1: a sketch that holds up. No, no, that's a that's
Speaker 1: a rough one. Yes, yes, yes, let me see here.
Speaker 1: Well Brett Brett Matthew Warwick says, I have a special
Speaker 1: place in my heart devoted to It's hat for introducing
Speaker 1: me to Ween. But it's really a toss up between
Speaker 1: Wayne's World and the Blues Brothers. Blues Brothers is getting
Speaker 1: a lot of love. I think it's because it's one
Speaker 1: of the only sort of really legendary SNL movies. Maybe
Speaker 1: Wayne's World is up there, but Blues Brothers was. You know,
Speaker 1: it was a big, big hit, oh for sure, And
Speaker 1: then it wasn't there Blues Brothers two thousand, Yeah, no,
Speaker 1: not so good. I mean, BELI died. You know what
Speaker 1: are you gonna do what you're gonna Kee're gonna make
Speaker 1: the movie is what you're gonna do. John Goodman, I
Speaker 1: think came back for that. I love John Goodman, but
Speaker 1: just leave that one alone. Leonard Countryman says, A Night
Speaker 1: at the Roxbury is still as as funny as it
Speaker 1: was twenty two as it was twenty two years ago. Wow,
Speaker 1: good sketch. I didn't see the movie. I haven't seen
Speaker 1: the movie either, and like, I don't know, I didn't
Speaker 1: even think it was a good sketch. I thought it
Speaker 1: was a good like bit, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: Like with the the joke is I guess they're on
Speaker 1: lots of cocaine because they're always like sniffling and like
Speaker 1: doing their noses or whatever. Noxious but you know, clueless.
Speaker 1: And I think what they try to do a lot
Speaker 1: of times with those movies where you have these characters
Speaker 1: that are really um, not particularly likable, is they they
Speaker 1: like go deeper and they try to find like, you know, oh,
Speaker 1: I in this way because something happened to me, and
Speaker 1: then and some dumb kind of like heartwarming backstory and
Speaker 1: then they end up getting the girl and and all
Speaker 1: that stuff. You know. I heard a thing, and this
Speaker 1: came up on Ridiculous History and Casey confirmed it. Apparently,
Speaker 1: Lauren Michaels, there's a thing where like every poster for
Speaker 1: every Lauren Michael's SNL character movie has to have the
Speaker 1: characters disembodied heads or bodies floating in front of a
Speaker 1: cloudy background. What what do you mean the movie post
Speaker 1: movie poster like Wayne's World is Wayne and Garth like
Speaker 1: with the clouds in the background, cone heads in the background.
Speaker 1: What other movies? I don't know. I mean, this is
Speaker 1: just the thing that I ever heard. I mean, Lauren,
Speaker 1: it's Casey sent a s sent a tweet Lauren Michael's
Speaker 1: clouds pat movie poster. No, that didn't. Okay, well let's
Speaker 1: just see. Um. I'm reading Chris Katan's biography and he
Speaker 1: reveals something I find absolutely fascinating. Lauren Michaels had a
Speaker 1: rule that the poster for any movie he produced had
Speaker 1: to have the character in front of a blue sky
Speaker 1: with fluffy white clouds. So Superstar is uh Sunsetti, but
Speaker 1: there are clouds? Black Sheep? Does Tommy Boys? Wait? What
Speaker 1: were those Lauren Michael produced movies Black Sheep? Oh my god, Noel,
Speaker 1: are we onto something. You know. This this is in
Speaker 1: Chris Gatan's autobiography. So as we're just you know, we're
Speaker 1: just reporting it, we discovered that I would love that
Speaker 1: three Amigos, two Dude, three amigos, cloudy background with cactus
Speaker 1: and the three characters, and that was Lauren Michael. Yeah,
Speaker 1: superstar cloudy backgrounds. What did the actual fun? That is?
Speaker 1: Weird ladies man? Cloudy background city escape, Now this is crazy.
Speaker 1: Does he think that that sells? Oh my god, this
Speaker 1: is like the best Internet conspiracy ever. It's pretty good.
Speaker 1: Does he think clouds like just sell? I don't know,
Speaker 1: you know what, it looks good. Here's the thing, Chuck,
Speaker 1: I think you and I both have interacted with producer types,
Speaker 1: you know, and we've had to play that role ourselves
Speaker 1: from time to time. And one thing you start to
Speaker 1: realize is producers like to make things dirt simple for people.
Speaker 1: Let's just put it the characters in front of clouds.
Speaker 1: People will understand exactly what it is, you know, and
Speaker 1: let's call it the thing. You know what I mean,
Speaker 1: the name of the idea really like spell it out? Uh?
Speaker 1: And I think that's what Lauren Michael is really weird, man.
Speaker 1: I think he's just trying to really just spell it
Speaker 1: out for the people, and having money and the clouds
Speaker 1: just mean it's not going to be that like challenging.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be like, you know, it's gonna be chill.
Speaker 1: You're gonna have a good time at the movies. Very strange.
Speaker 1: I'm so glad you pointed this out. Let's finish up
Speaker 1: here with a few more of these. We got a
Speaker 1: few cone Headers in here. I never liked the cone Heads.
Speaker 1: That is a sketch I didn't get and I didn't like.
Speaker 1: I never thought it was funny at all. I just
Speaker 1: don't get it. But Anton Vander Mirror liked cone Heads,
Speaker 1: Erica Renee Bossart liked cone Heads, Brian Buckley loved cone Heads. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I just never got it. Did you ever see the
Speaker 1: original sketch? Yeah? I just remember a week I'm from France.
Speaker 1: That's all I get it. I didn't get it. I
Speaker 1: remember liking the movie though, and it had a good soundtrack.
Speaker 1: It had that that that one good Chili Peppers song
Speaker 1: that was like soul to squeeze. I like that song,
Speaker 1: and it was on the cone Heads soundtrack. Alright, we're
Speaker 1: gonna finish up with this last great comment. Uh, Rick Opinger,
Speaker 1: welcome to the show. Rick. I'm sorry, Rich, I'm still
Speaker 1: waiting on a Brian Fellows movie. I don't know this came. Rich.
Speaker 1: Can you describe this character to me just ever so slightly.
Speaker 1: Tracy Morgan was a nature guy sort of like uh
Speaker 1: Jackanah that comes on the Tonight show with like the
Speaker 1: baboon and the you know, the monkey on his arm
Speaker 1: and stuff. So he's a wildlife natured guy. Uh, he
Speaker 1: was just weird. I'm Brian Fellow and he didn't know
Speaker 1: anything about animals. Like it was really really funny. It's funny.
Speaker 1: Brian Fellows does sound like the name of like a
Speaker 1: really run of the mill like news anchor or something
Speaker 1: like Brian Fellows, so funny. Alright, No, well that's all
Speaker 1: the time we have because you've got a skiedaddle. Thanks
Speaker 1: to everyone for participating in the SNL special, even if
Speaker 1: we've done it before. One of the great, great legendary
Speaker 1: shows on TV, despite its ups and downs, So thank you. Noel. Yeah, man,
Speaker 1: I mean they'll look, look, we gotta give it props
Speaker 1: for just they just don't stop and it's like yeah,
Speaker 1: for sure, but like it's gonna have some hits and
Speaker 1: misses and some slumps because it's just like, let's just
Speaker 1: throw everything at the wall. And I really respect the uh,
Speaker 1: just the work ethic of the whole thing. Like it's
Speaker 1: just such an insane um to be able to pull
Speaker 1: it off like that week after week. It's it's pretty
Speaker 1: quite an accomplishment. That's off to you. Mr Lauren Michaels,
Speaker 1: go stand in front of some cloud. So we'll make
Speaker 1: a movie about it. Yes, So thanks for listening and
Speaker 1: we will see you all through your ear holes next week.
