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

After covering the entirety of season 21 last year, we've finally decided to dip our toes into season 22. What we find is a whole bunch of Heavens Gate and Ellen coming out as gay material, sprinkled with some dead bodies, Goth Talk, misogyny in game show form, further battles with Norm and Robert De Niro's best guest appearance!

Dead Heat is a masterpiece of B-movie proportions. This little action/sci-fi/horror/comedy stars Joe Piscopo and Treat Williams and it's just a blast. A revenge film with slowly decomposing super-powered zombies and even a little bit of Vincent Price! You just can't go wrong.

With the recent news that Kenan Thompson will producing a new reboot of All That, we've decided to go back to one of it's earliest episodes to see where it all began. What we find is Kenan's first outing as Cosby, the debut of Good Burger, plenty of Lynchian nightmare fuel and even a few good laughs.

This week, we're exploring one of the most idiosyncratic episodes the show has ever done! Our host is George Wendt but the real star attraction is Francis Ford Coppola as this episode's "Guest director". It all adds up to one of the few times the show has completely broken format to allow an episode-length story to be told and by god, we love it.

We've covered some bizarre, chaotic episodes of SNL before but nothing in our experience comes close to this one. Not only does this show include the first of the Buckwheat Is Dead trilogy but all sorts of other goodies like suicide, incest, racism, mental health issues and more! And somehow, in the middle of all this, we manage to talk a bit about Harlem Nights.

In 1986, Al Franken and Tom Davis wrote and starred in a small, slice-of-life film about a bunch of people in a small Midwestern town trying to get laid on a Saturday night. Nobody saw it and it faded into obscurity. This week, we're digging it back up from the forgotten realm and exploring it as best we can before the delirium claims us.

This week, we're looking back at a classic and seeing how it how holds up. Featuring one of the most famous Wayne's World sketches ever! Inexplicably this leads to Trump discussion, Russians, Chris Hansen, bizarro commercials from 1990 and more!!

We're heading back to Ebersol Land to complete the Halloween trifecta with Jamie Lee Curtis and The Fixx! Within we discuss more Belushi theories, Joel Hodgson, an impromptu review of Halloween 2018 and more!

In 1979, former head writer Michael O'Donoghue was tasked with creating a show that could potentially run during SNL's off weeks. What he came up with was Mr. Mike's Mondo Video, an avant-garde kaleidoscope of near incomprehensible madness. We attempt to make sense of it all.

Few hosts are as hard to get a bead on as Jason Patric is. Is he uninterested in hosting the show? Is it all a big put on? Is it somewhere in the middle? Join us as we attempt to unravel the mystery.
