SUPPORT THE SHOW AT ko-fi.com/prollyshoulda "Be careful what you podcast - children will listen." Such is the wisdom of this trash adaptation of Stephen Sondheim's famous 1987 extended musical metaphor for the AIDS crisis, re-cast with an A-List team delivering the least charismatic or interesting performances in movie musical history, as they cram all of those Sondheim-y syllables into those Sondheim-y diminished chords.

SUPPORT THE SHOW AT ko-fi.com/prollyshoulda Be true to yourself. You don't need to be popular to be happy. Power and prestige isn't everything. These are all great messages for a child to see in movies, but in 2001 Garry Marshall directed a hit family comedy that said the opposite of all of those things. Nadia and Tony work through some stuff as they realize that delightful performances from Anne Hathaway and Julie Andrews are papering over some very unsettling messages.

SUPPORT THE SHOW AT ko-fi.com/prollyshoulda Tony and Nadia are back for a new season focused on the low-tier live-action Disney family comedies of the 90s and 2000s, starting with a Jonathan Taylor Thomas vehicle where Chevy Chase guests as a U.S. Attorney prosecuting the mob but also trying to sleep with Farrah Fawcett and impress her son by joining a cringey Native-American-themed father/son camping group. So basically we don't expect to run out of material this season. Nadia covers the history of indigenous representation in films (it's bad). Tony introduces the new segment "Are There Sequels???"

Both Tony and Nadia speak Spanish during the episode and Nadia does a better job. We explore Chevy Chase's career and look at some of the more surprising people who openly hate him. Our theme song is "S K A D R E A M" by Jeff Rosenstock; Jeff's music is distributed under a Creative Commons license and available at quoteunquoterecords.com . This week's outro music is Randy Newman's "My Little Buttercup" as covered by Mims Ukes.

This Will Ferrell/Chris Kattan vehicle has some delightful moments, kicked off a streak of decent SNL movies with the very strong late-90s cast, and happens to have the most fucked history of any SNL movie, one that points to a horrifying and toxic workplace that has now been running for five decades and continues to generate unsettling stories today, and one that starts us talking about the endgame of the season and the endgame of SNL. Our theme song is "S K A D R E A M" by Jeff Rosenstock; Jeff's music is distributed under a Creative Commons license and available at quoteunquoterecords.com .

How would you follow up the success of Wayne's World? SNL decided to dust off a sketch that hadn't been on the air for 14 years and go with their first draft of the script. We were both bored out of our minds watching this, so our conversation Tokyo Drifts into a lot of tangents, and that may seem like an unnecessary reference to the Fast & Furious franchise, but don't worry we tie it all together in the episode.

We discuss memorable sketches and characters over SNL's history, that time Chevy Chase hit Cheri Oteri, the most under-rated and accurately-rated female cast members, Nadia's SNL intern stories, the Betty White episode, and how bad Abby Elliott is. Tony's sound is shit on this episode, but that's because he's a good feminist ally who's letting the women speak and not because he had a bad internet connection.

Nothing can prepare you for the most cursed Lorne Michaels production of all time, which started with a 45-page screenplay, cost Fred Wolf his job, partially blinded David Spade, started a feud between Lorne and Penelope Spheeris, triggered Chris Farley's relapse, and oh yeah predicted the January 6th Capitol insurrection in surprising detail, 25 years before it happened.

Since we started the podcast 3 years ago, we were always destined to do Mel Brooks' most infamous comedy. Is it, as the AFI believes, the sixth funniest movie ever made? Is it, as every reviewer on Amazon believes, a movie for sticking it to the SJW Cancel Culture Snowflakes? Is it, as Mel Brooks believes, something that could never get made today? Nadia and Tony investigate, and the truth is a lot messier than either of them anticipated.

The “comedy juggernaut” season inevitably arrives at the nihilistic kids movies of early-2000s Dreamworks SKG.
