On November 22nd, 1980, actor Malcolm McDowell hosted "Saturday Night Live," and to put it kindly, it was a disaster. The episode started with a lousy Cold Open, followed by an uninspired monologue (which you will hear), a brutal bit involving an S&M "Leather Weather" report, many sight gags that bombed HARD, and a sketch featuring McDowell and Gilbert Gottfried in drag. To top it off, the talent-free Charles Rocket appeared as a stripping/flashing Prince Charles. These elements combined to create what many consider the worst SNL episode of all time—a claim that is arguable but the episode remains a train-wreck of biblical proportions. It all culminates in one of the most offensive, least funny, and ill-timed sketches ever aired on the show: "Commie Hunting Season." In this sketch, not only is the "n" word freely used by cast member Rocket, but murder, mayhem, and shock value are emphasized instead of satire. You will hear this jaw-droppingly awful sketch in its entirety, learn how it got on air (and BOMBED to a deadly silent crowd), and how it, along with two other horrible sketches, contributed to this nightmare. This episode marked the first chink in Executive Producer Jean Doumanian's armor, eventually leading to her inevitable firing. While many painfully unfunny sketches exist in SNL history, could this be the worst? You be the judge. [Ep79]

This week on Saturday Night Jive we're talking some television pilots that never got picked up to see a full season that feature some SNL alums.  We watched Norman's Corner starring the late, great Gilbert Gottfried and written by former SNL writer Larry David.  The also late and also great Charles Rocket stars as a spaceship captain in the sci-fi spoof Star Patrol.  There's also Supernerds starring Patton Oswalt, Brian Posehn, and one-season SNL alum Sarah Silverman.  We watched the practically flawless pilot for The Grubbs starring Randy Quaid and a pre-Arrested Development Michael Cera.  Then we cheated and watched Where's Rodney? starring one-time SNL host Rodney Dangerfield because we were enchanted by the theme song.  Should any of these shows have gotten the chance to entertain the masses?  We think two of them should, the other three are probably right at home in history's dustbin.  Enjoy!Full archive of all podcast episodes available at saturdaynightjive.blogspot.comEmail us anything at saturdaynightjivepodcast@gmail.comDownload Here

Another week another weird ass movie! This week we Talk about Earth girls are easy from 1988! Our creator profile this week is the equally as odd Jeff Goldblum! https://twitter.com/bonsai_crewhttps://www.tiktok.com/@thebonsaimoviecrewhttps://discord.gg/8jCPe8T2kT

Earth Girls Are Easy is a 1988 science fiction comedy film directed by famed music video director Julien Temple, and written by comedian/singer Julie Brown. Based off of a song previously released by Brown, the action follows a trio of space aliens landing upon Earth, and finding themselves under the care of a lovelorn manicurist in California. The film follows the group's efforts to blend in with the rest of humanity and eventually fix their crashed spaceship. It featured acting roles from Geena Davis, Jeff Goldblum, Charles Rocket, Michael McKean, Julie Brown herself, and early performances from Jim Carrey and Damon Wayans, while also featuring music by legendary disco musician Nile Rodgers. Though not a major commercial success, the film has developed a devoted cult following over the years.On a new episode of Hell Is A Musical, Lilz and Scott welcome back all-star guest Ashley Rogers to the program for a screening of Earth Girls Are Easy. (Which we're only kinda sure counts as a musical in the first place?) Join them as Scott expounds upon the film's connection of golden age movie musicals, Ashley draws paralells between the film and the works of Bertol Brecht, and Lilz is thoroughly confused by whatever Angelyne's whole deal was....with Lilz and Scott!

This week, we finish our three part episode on the 1980s distribution company Vestron Pictures. ----more---- The movies discussed on this week's episode are: The Adventures of a Gnome Named Gnorm (1990, Stan Winston) Big Man on Campus (1989, Jeremy Paul Kagan) Dream a Little Dream (1989, Marc Rocco) Earth Girls Are Easy (1989, Julien Temple) Far From Home (1989, Meiert Avis) Paperhouse (1989, Bernard Rose) Parents (1989, Bob Balaban) The Rainbow (1989, Ken Russell) Wonderland (1989, Philip Saville)   TRANSCRIPT From Los Angeles, California, the Entertainment Capital of the World, it's The 80s Movies Podcast. I am your host, Edward Havens. Thank you for listening today.   At the end of the previous episode, Vestron Pictures was starting to experience the turbulence a number of independent distributors faced when they had a successful film too soon out of the gate, and the direction of the company seemingly changes to go chasing more waterfalls instead of sticking to the rivers and the lakes they were used to.   Welcome to Part Three of our miniseries.   As we enter 1989, Vestron is seriously in trouble. More money has gone out then has come back in. It seems that they needed one more hit to keep going for a while longer. But if you were to look at their release schedule for the year, which included a pickup from the recently bankrupt DeLaurentiis Entertainment Group, there wasn't really anything that felt like it could be a Dirty Dancing-like break out, except for maybe the pickup from the recently bankrupt DeLaurentiis Entertainment Group.    But we'll get there in a moment.   Their first film from 1989 is a certifiable cult film if there ever was one, but the problem with this label is that the film tagged as so was not a success upon its initial theatrical release. Bob Balaban, the beloved character actor who had been regularly seen on screen since his memorable debut in Midnight Cowboy twenty years earlier, would make his directorial debut with the black comedy horror film Parents.   Bryan Madorsky stars as Michael Laemle, a ten year old boy living in the California suburbs in the 1950s, who starts to suspect mom and dad, played by Mary Beth Hurt and Randy Quaid, might be cannibals. It's a strange but fun little movie, and even Ken Russell would compare it favorably over David Lynch's Blue Velvet during one contemporary interview, but sadly, it would take far more time for the film to find its audience than Vestron could afford.   Opening in 94 theatres on January 27th, the $3m Parents could not overcome a series of negative reviews from critics, and it would only gross $278k in its first three days. Vestron would not strike any additional prints of the film, and would cycle the ones they did have around the country for several months, but after four months, the film could only attract $870k in box office receipts. But it would become something of a cult hit on video later in the year.   In 1992, British filmmaker Bernard Rose would make his American directing debut with an all-time banger, Candyman. But he wouldn't gotten Candyman if it wasn't for his 1989 film Paperhouse, an inventive story about a young girl whose drawings seem to manifest into reality. British actor Ben Cross from Chariots of Fire and American actress Glenne Headly from Dirty Rotten Scoundrels plays the young girl's parents.   Outside of Gene Siskel, who would give the film a thumbs down on his movie review show with Roger Ebert despite acknowledging Rose's talent as a filmmaker and being fascinated by the first two-thirds of the movie, the critical consensus was extraordinary. But it appears Siskel may have never actually written a review of the film for the Chicago Tribune, as the film still has a 100% Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. But the film would only earn $6,700 from its single screen playdate at the Carnegie Hall Cinemas when it opened on February 17th, and the film would get little support from Vestron after that. More single playdates in major cities that added up to a $241k box office tally after fourteen weeks in release.   Marc Rocco's Dream a Little Dream would be the third film in The Two Coreys Cinematic Universe. Corey Feldman plays a high school student who, through one of the strangest plot twists in the whole body switching genre, finds himself switching places with two time Academy Award-winner Jason Robards, playing a professor who is looking for immortality through entering a meditative alpha state. Meredith Salinger and Piper Laurie also find themselves switching bodies as well, while Corey Haim plays the goofball best friend with not a whole lot to do. The supporting cast also includes veteran character actors Harry Dean Stanton and Alex Rocco, the latter who agreed to do the film because it was directed by his son.   When the film opened on March 3rd, it would be Vestron's second widest release, opening on more than 1,000 theatres. But just like the previous year's License to Drive, the pairing of Corey Haim and Corey Feldman did not set the box office on fire, opening in fifth place with $2.57m in ticket sales, compared to the #1 film of the week, the Morgan Freeman drama Lean on Me, which would gross twice as much as Dream a Little Dream while playing in 125 fewer theatres. In its second week, the film would lose 56 theatres and 52% of its opening weekend audience, falling all the way to 13th place with a gross of only $1.25m. By week three, the movie would move to dollar houses, and trudge along for several more months, until it closed in the middle of summer with only $5.55m in the till.   In the late 1970s and early 1980s, writer/director Jeremy Paul Kagan had directed and occasionally written several big ticket movies, including the 1977 Henry Winkler drama Heroes, which also starred Sally Field and, in his first post-Star Wars movie, Harrison Ford, and the 1985 Meredith Salinger/John Cusack adventure film The Journey of Natty Gann. Which makes his Natty Gann follow up, Big Man on Campus, such a head scratcher.   A modern adaptation of The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Big Man on Campus was written by Allan Katz, who had been working in television for nearly twenty years writing for and producing shows like All in the Family, Sanford and Son, The Mary Tyler Moore Show and MASH. Katz would also star in the movie as the titular hunchback, even though he had never once acted on any of his shows. But at least he had a good cast supporting him, including Gerrit Graham, Melora Hardin, Jessica Harper, Tom Skerritt, and Cindy Williams.   I can only find one playdate for the film ever, in Los Angeles at the American Cinematheque in March 1989, so while this mostly qualifies as a direct to video release, I feel compelled to at least give it a token mention here.   Have you ever heard of a movie called The Fruit Machine? Of course you haven't, because that's a horrible name for a movie, no matter what it's about. When Vestron acquired this British drama about young gay men who go on the run after they witness a murder, the first thing they did was change the title to Wonderland. Not that Wonderland gives you any more of an idea of what the movie is about than The Fruit Machine. But, whatever.   Today, the movie has two things going for it. One, an early role for Robbie Coltrane, playing a transvestite who operates a nightclub for gay men and transvestites called, you guessed it, The Fruit Machine. Second, the musical score was written by Hans Zimmer, in one of his earliest film jobs. Ironically, Wonderland would be the the third movie scored by Hans Zimmer to be released by Vestron in a four month period, after Burning Secret and Paperhouse.   Wonderland would open at the Quad Cinemas in New York City on April 28th, to poor reviews but a decent $11,500 opening weekend. But the film would not be able to maintain much of an audience, and after five weeks, Wonderland was out of the Quad Cinemas, never to play another theatre in America, with just $50k in the till.   Ken Russell's third and final film in his contract with Vestron was The Rainbow, an adaptation of a 1915 novel by D.H. Lawrence, whose 1920 novel Women in Love had been adapted by Russell in 1969. Glenda Jackson, who had won the Academy Award for her role in Women in Love, here plays the mother of the character she played in the other film. Here, she co-stars with Sammi Davis as Ursala, the younger sister of Jackson's Women in Love character, who finds herself attracted to Anton, a young man in town, as well as her gym teacher Winifred.   As one would expect from Ken Russell, the supporting cast is top notch, including future Eighth Doctor Paul McGann, regular Russell collaborator Christopher Gable, and Blowup star David Hemmings. The film would open at the Paris Theatre in New York City on May 5th, where it would gross a very good $22k, spurred on by great reviews from most of the city's major critics, several of which noted the film to be Russell's best in a number of years. So it would be sad that the film would end up being the lowest grossing of the three films he'd make with Vestron, only earning a total of $444k after three months in mostly single playdates in major markets.   In 1985, Geena Davis and Jeff Goldblum would work together on a forgettable horror comedy film called Transylvania 6-5000, whose name was a pun on a popular 1940 song recorded by Glenn Miller. In 1986, the pair would work together again in David Cronenberg's amazing remake of the cheesy 1950s horror film The Fly. In late 1987, shortly after the pair married, they would work together for a third time, on another comedy, and on a movie that was this time based on an actual song.    Earth Girls Are Easy was the name of a song that appeared on comedian Julie Brown's 1984 EP Goddess in Progress, and was originally developed as a movie at Warner Brothers Studio. The studio would get cold feet when Absolute Beginners, the big British musical directed by music video director Julien Temple, failed big time everywhere in the world except for the UK. Temple was slated to direct Earth Girls Are Easy, and Brown, as the co-writer and co-star of the film, was committed to the filmmaker, even if it meant Warners putting the film into turnaround.   Which they did, in 1986.   It would take nearly a year to get the project back on track, after being rejected by every other major studio and production company in Hollywood, until the French banking giant Credit Lyonnais agree to finance the film, provided they could cut the budget from $14m to $10m, and if the filmmakers could make a distribution deal with the bank's preferred distributor, the then newly-formed DeLaurentiis Entertainment Group.   The film, about a manicurist in Los Angeles who helps three aliens blend into human culture after they accidentally crash land their spaceship into her pool, would begin production in Los Angeles in October 1987. Davis played the manicurist, and Goldblum one of the aliens, alongside Damon Wayans and Jim Carrey, while the remaining cast would include a number of great comedic actors like MASH's Larry Linville, Michael McKean, Rick Overton, and Charles Rocket, as well as Los Angeles media personality Angelyne as basically herself.   While the film was nearing completion in early 1988, the DeLaurentiis Entertainment Group would go out of business, leaving Credit Lyonnais in need of a new distributor for their investment. But after Temple turned in his first cut of the film, Credit Lyonnais would send Temple back into his editing bay, where he and his team would spend nearly another five months  winnowing out various scenes and completely excising a big and expensive musical number based on one of the other songs on Brown's 1984 EP, I Like ‘Em Big and Stupid, because it just didn't work for the film. Additional scenes would be shot, and the budget would end up being $11m.    The film would have its premiere at the Toronto Film Festival in September 1988, and attract attention from a number of distributors including MGM/UA, New World Pictures and Twentieth Century-Fox, but Vestron would end up putting in the winning bid.   The film would originally be set for a February 1989 release, but would get delayed until May 12th. When it finally opened on 317 screens in Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, Philly, San Francisco, Toronto and Washington DC, the film would gross $893k, putting in twelfth place for the weekend, but its per screen average would be the fourth best amongst the films in the top twenty. The film would fall one place in its second week,  losing 35% of its opening weekend audience, grossing $577k. The film would slowly hemorrhage theatres and box office until the plug was pulled in mid-July with only $3.9m in tickets sold.   The sole lasting legacy of the film is that Damon Wayans enjoyed working so much with Jim Carrey that when Damon's brother Kenan Ivory Wayans was putting together a new comedy television show together thanks to the success of his movie I'm Gonna Get You Sucka, Damon would get his brother to give Carrey a chance. In Living Color would make Carrey and the Wayans Brothers stars, and would change the course of comedy. So there's that…   In late June, the Lightning Pictures imprint would release their first movie in nearly two years, Far From Home. The film starred the then-fourteen year old Drew Barrymore as a young girl traveling cross country with her father, who get stuck in a small desert town in Nevada on their way to back to Los Angeles, who must deal with some very strange characters in the trailer park they're staying in, as they slowly discover nothing is as it's supposed to be. Matt Frewer, Max Headroom himself, plays the dad, who must protect his daughter while he figures out how to get the hell out of town alive.   Truth be told, the movie sucks, and it's really creepy in how it sexualizes Barrymore, but there's one hell of a great supporting cast doing their best to keep the joint from totally stinking the place up. Richard Masur, Academy Award nominee Susan Tyrell, Anthony Rapp from Adventures in Babysitting, Jennifer Tilly, and beloved character actor Dick Miller. When Vestron opened the film in four theatres in third-tier regions on June 30th, it was little surprise the film got some very bad notices, although one unnamed reviewer for Variety felt the need to note that Barrymore, who again was only fourteen at the time, had “a baby face, dreamy eyes and a playboy model's body.” The film would gross just $3,763 in its first and only weekend in theatres.   But that wasn't even the worst news of the week for Vestron.   On the same day as they opened Far From Home, Vestron had been informed by Security Pacific Bank in Los Angeles that the $100 million line of credit the company had with them was being terminated. 140 of the approximately 300 Vestron staff members, mostly from the Los Angeles office, were let go, including the President of Production, the Senior Vice President of Marketing and Distribution, and the Vice President of Publicity and Promotion. While Vestron Video would continue for a while, in large part thanks to a $15.7m payoff during a dispute over home video ownership rights to the 1986 Best Picture winner Platoon, the theatrical distribution unit was effectively dead. Some movies, including the Fred Savage/Howie Mandel comedy Little Monsters, the Harry Dean Stanton-led comedy Twister, and the Kathryn Bigelow-directed action thriller Blue Steel with Jamie Lee Curtis, would be sold off to other companies, but the titles left behind would see their planned theatrical releases cancelled and eventually be released direct to video.   Thanks to some of the legacy titles in their video catalog, including Dirty Dancing, Vestron would be able to stave off the inevitable, but in January 1991, the company would file for bankruptcy, their final film being the Stan Winston-directed fantasy buddy comedy The Adventures of a Gnome named Gnorm. Filmed in 1988 as Upward, the film featured Anthony Michael Hall as an Los Angeles Police Detective who has to team up with a gnome, a puppet created by Winston, the effects wizard who also directed the film, to solve a murder. For Winston, it was deja vu all over again, as his previous directorial effort, Pumpkinhead, found itself in limbo for a while when its distributor, the DeLaurentiis Entertainment Group, filed for bankruptcy in 1987 before they could release that film.   In bankruptcy court, Live Entertainment, partially owned by 1990s mega movie production company Carolco Pictures, would purchase all of Vestron's assets for $24m. Live used the assets as collateral to secure a line of credit from industry friendly banks, so they could start their own production and distribution company, of which their only moment of note was helping to finance Reservoir Dogs when no one else would.   Eventually, Live Entertainment would be sold off to Bain Capital, a private investment firm co-founded by Mitt Romney, in 1997, and they would rebrand Live as Artisan Entertainment. Artisan today is best known as the little independent distributor of The Blair Witch Project, but they also would enter into an agreement with Marvel Comics to make movies for 15 of their characters, including Ant-Man, Black Panther, Deadpool, Iron Fist, Longshot, Morbius, Mort the Dead Teenager, and the Power Pack.   Artisan would produce two movies based on Marvel characters, Man-Thing and The Punisher, although neither of those films would be released by Artisan. Artisan would declare bankruptcy in 2003, and Marvel would be one of the companies to place a bid for them. Lionsgate would end up becoming the winning bidder for Artisan's assets, which is how the vast majority of Vestron titles are now owned by a company that didn't even exist when Vestron closed shop.   Today, Lionsgate is the owner of the assets of a number of the companies we've spoken about on this podcast in the past, and will be talking about in the future, including Crown International, the DeLaurentiis Entertainment Group, Embassy Pictures, and New World Pictures. And it's also a major reason why so many of the movies we discuss in these episodes looking back at past companies are completely unknown today. As big as Lionsgate is, with nearly $3.6 billion in revenue in 2022, they aren't going to be able to keep up with the chain of ownership for every movies from every company they've purchased, and they're not going to put the money in to the movies that are barely remembered today. The Film Foundation, the non-profit organization co-founded by Woody Allen, Francis Ford Coppola, Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg, which is dedicated to film preservation, estimates the average cost to do a photochemical restoration of a color feature with sound to between $80,000 to $450,000 dollars, not including the cost of a 2k or 4k digital scan. I'm going to have a link in the show notes on our website at The80sMoviePodcast.com to a November 2018 article from the Science History Institute about the process of restoring films. It's not a long read, but it's a fascinating read. I hope you'll check it out.   So there you have it, the end of the line for Vestron Pictures, and many of the movies they helped to make and distribute, most of which you cannot find today in any form.   Thank you for listening.   We'll talk again next week when Episode 105, on the 1985 teen comedy O.C. and Stiggs, directed by Robert Altman, will be discussed.   Remember to visit this episode's page on our website, The80sMoviePodcast.com, for extra materials about the movies we covered this episode.   The 80s Movies Podcast has been researched, written, narrated and edited by Edward Havens for Idiosyncratic Entertainment.   Thank you again.   Good night.

This week, we finish our three part episode on the 1980s distribution company Vestron Pictures. ----more---- The movies discussed on this week's episode are: The Adventures of a Gnome Named Gnorm (1990, Stan Winston) Big Man on Campus (1989, Jeremy Paul Kagan) Dream a Little Dream (1989, Marc Rocco) Earth Girls Are Easy (1989, Julien Temple) Far From Home (1989, Meiert Avis) Paperhouse (1989, Bernard Rose) Parents (1989, Bob Balaban) The Rainbow (1989, Ken Russell) Wonderland (1989, Philip Saville)   TRANSCRIPT From Los Angeles, California, the Entertainment Capital of the World, it's The 80s Movies Podcast. I am your host, Edward Havens. Thank you for listening today.   At the end of the previous episode, Vestron Pictures was starting to experience the turbulence a number of independent distributors faced when they had a successful film too soon out of the gate, and the direction of the company seemingly changes to go chasing more waterfalls instead of sticking to the rivers and the lakes they were used to.   Welcome to Part Three of our miniseries.   As we enter 1989, Vestron is seriously in trouble. More money has gone out then has come back in. It seems that they needed one more hit to keep going for a while longer. But if you were to look at their release schedule for the year, which included a pickup from the recently bankrupt DeLaurentiis Entertainment Group, there wasn't really anything that felt like it could be a Dirty Dancing-like break out, except for maybe the pickup from the recently bankrupt DeLaurentiis Entertainment Group.    But we'll get there in a moment.   Their first film from 1989 is a certifiable cult film if there ever was one, but the problem with this label is that the film tagged as so was not a success upon its initial theatrical release. Bob Balaban, the beloved character actor who had been regularly seen on screen since his memorable debut in Midnight Cowboy twenty years earlier, would make his directorial debut with the black comedy horror film Parents.   Bryan Madorsky stars as Michael Laemle, a ten year old boy living in the California suburbs in the 1950s, who starts to suspect mom and dad, played by Mary Beth Hurt and Randy Quaid, might be cannibals. It's a strange but fun little movie, and even Ken Russell would compare it favorably over David Lynch's Blue Velvet during one contemporary interview, but sadly, it would take far more time for the film to find its audience than Vestron could afford.   Opening in 94 theatres on January 27th, the $3m Parents could not overcome a series of negative reviews from critics, and it would only gross $278k in its first three days. Vestron would not strike any additional prints of the film, and would cycle the ones they did have around the country for several months, but after four months, the film could only attract $870k in box office receipts. But it would become something of a cult hit on video later in the year.   In 1992, British filmmaker Bernard Rose would make his American directing debut with an all-time banger, Candyman. But he wouldn't gotten Candyman if it wasn't for his 1989 film Paperhouse, an inventive story about a young girl whose drawings seem to manifest into reality. British actor Ben Cross from Chariots of Fire and American actress Glenne Headly from Dirty Rotten Scoundrels plays the young girl's parents.   Outside of Gene Siskel, who would give the film a thumbs down on his movie review show with Roger Ebert despite acknowledging Rose's talent as a filmmaker and being fascinated by the first two-thirds of the movie, the critical consensus was extraordinary. But it appears Siskel may have never actually written a review of the film for the Chicago Tribune, as the film still has a 100% Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. But the film would only earn $6,700 from its single screen playdate at the Carnegie Hall Cinemas when it opened on February 17th, and the film would get little support from Vestron after that. More single playdates in major cities that added up to a $241k box office tally after fourteen weeks in release.   Marc Rocco's Dream a Little Dream would be the third film in The Two Coreys Cinematic Universe. Corey Feldman plays a high school student who, through one of the strangest plot twists in the whole body switching genre, finds himself switching places with two time Academy Award-winner Jason Robards, playing a professor who is looking for immortality through entering a meditative alpha state. Meredith Salinger and Piper Laurie also find themselves switching bodies as well, while Corey Haim plays the goofball best friend with not a whole lot to do. The supporting cast also includes veteran character actors Harry Dean Stanton and Alex Rocco, the latter who agreed to do the film because it was directed by his son.   When the film opened on March 3rd, it would be Vestron's second widest release, opening on more than 1,000 theatres. But just like the previous year's License to Drive, the pairing of Corey Haim and Corey Feldman did not set the box office on fire, opening in fifth place with $2.57m in ticket sales, compared to the #1 film of the week, the Morgan Freeman drama Lean on Me, which would gross twice as much as Dream a Little Dream while playing in 125 fewer theatres. In its second week, the film would lose 56 theatres and 52% of its opening weekend audience, falling all the way to 13th place with a gross of only $1.25m. By week three, the movie would move to dollar houses, and trudge along for several more months, until it closed in the middle of summer with only $5.55m in the till.   In the late 1970s and early 1980s, writer/director Jeremy Paul Kagan had directed and occasionally written several big ticket movies, including the 1977 Henry Winkler drama Heroes, which also starred Sally Field and, in his first post-Star Wars movie, Harrison Ford, and the 1985 Meredith Salinger/John Cusack adventure film The Journey of Natty Gann. Which makes his Natty Gann follow up, Big Man on Campus, such a head scratcher.   A modern adaptation of The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Big Man on Campus was written by Allan Katz, who had been working in television for nearly twenty years writing for and producing shows like All in the Family, Sanford and Son, The Mary Tyler Moore Show and MASH. Katz would also star in the movie as the titular hunchback, even though he had never once acted on any of his shows. But at least he had a good cast supporting him, including Gerrit Graham, Melora Hardin, Jessica Harper, Tom Skerritt, and Cindy Williams.   I can only find one playdate for the film ever, in Los Angeles at the American Cinematheque in March 1989, so while this mostly qualifies as a direct to video release, I feel compelled to at least give it a token mention here.   Have you ever heard of a movie called The Fruit Machine? Of course you haven't, because that's a horrible name for a movie, no matter what it's about. When Vestron acquired this British drama about young gay men who go on the run after they witness a murder, the first thing they did was change the title to Wonderland. Not that Wonderland gives you any more of an idea of what the movie is about than The Fruit Machine. But, whatever.   Today, the movie has two things going for it. One, an early role for Robbie Coltrane, playing a transvestite who operates a nightclub for gay men and transvestites called, you guessed it, The Fruit Machine. Second, the musical score was written by Hans Zimmer, in one of his earliest film jobs. Ironically, Wonderland would be the the third movie scored by Hans Zimmer to be released by Vestron in a four month period, after Burning Secret and Paperhouse.   Wonderland would open at the Quad Cinemas in New York City on April 28th, to poor reviews but a decent $11,500 opening weekend. But the film would not be able to maintain much of an audience, and after five weeks, Wonderland was out of the Quad Cinemas, never to play another theatre in America, with just $50k in the till.   Ken Russell's third and final film in his contract with Vestron was The Rainbow, an adaptation of a 1915 novel by D.H. Lawrence, whose 1920 novel Women in Love had been adapted by Russell in 1969. Glenda Jackson, who had won the Academy Award for her role in Women in Love, here plays the mother of the character she played in the other film. Here, she co-stars with Sammi Davis as Ursala, the younger sister of Jackson's Women in Love character, who finds herself attracted to Anton, a young man in town, as well as her gym teacher Winifred.   As one would expect from Ken Russell, the supporting cast is top notch, including future Eighth Doctor Paul McGann, regular Russell collaborator Christopher Gable, and Blowup star David Hemmings. The film would open at the Paris Theatre in New York City on May 5th, where it would gross a very good $22k, spurred on by great reviews from most of the city's major critics, several of which noted the film to be Russell's best in a number of years. So it would be sad that the film would end up being the lowest grossing of the three films he'd make with Vestron, only earning a total of $444k after three months in mostly single playdates in major markets.   In 1985, Geena Davis and Jeff Goldblum would work together on a forgettable horror comedy film called Transylvania 6-5000, whose name was a pun on a popular 1940 song recorded by Glenn Miller. In 1986, the pair would work together again in David Cronenberg's amazing remake of the cheesy 1950s horror film The Fly. In late 1987, shortly after the pair married, they would work together for a third time, on another comedy, and on a movie that was this time based on an actual song.    Earth Girls Are Easy was the name of a song that appeared on comedian Julie Brown's 1984 EP Goddess in Progress, and was originally developed as a movie at Warner Brothers Studio. The studio would get cold feet when Absolute Beginners, the big British musical directed by music video director Julien Temple, failed big time everywhere in the world except for the UK. Temple was slated to direct Earth Girls Are Easy, and Brown, as the co-writer and co-star of the film, was committed to the filmmaker, even if it meant Warners putting the film into turnaround.   Which they did, in 1986.   It would take nearly a year to get the project back on track, after being rejected by every other major studio and production company in Hollywood, until the French banking giant Credit Lyonnais agree to finance the film, provided they could cut the budget from $14m to $10m, and if the filmmakers could make a distribution deal with the bank's preferred distributor, the then newly-formed DeLaurentiis Entertainment Group.   The film, about a manicurist in Los Angeles who helps three aliens blend into human culture after they accidentally crash land their spaceship into her pool, would begin production in Los Angeles in October 1987. Davis played the manicurist, and Goldblum one of the aliens, alongside Damon Wayans and Jim Carrey, while the remaining cast would include a number of great comedic actors like MASH's Larry Linville, Michael McKean, Rick Overton, and Charles Rocket, as well as Los Angeles media personality Angelyne as basically herself.   While the film was nearing completion in early 1988, the DeLaurentiis Entertainment Group would go out of business, leaving Credit Lyonnais in need of a new distributor for their investment. But after Temple turned in his first cut of the film, Credit Lyonnais would send Temple back into his editing bay, where he and his team would spend nearly another five months  winnowing out various scenes and completely excising a big and expensive musical number based on one of the other songs on Brown's 1984 EP, I Like ‘Em Big and Stupid, because it just didn't work for the film. Additional scenes would be shot, and the budget would end up being $11m.    The film would have its premiere at the Toronto Film Festival in September 1988, and attract attention from a number of distributors including MGM/UA, New World Pictures and Twentieth Century-Fox, but Vestron would end up putting in the winning bid.   The film would originally be set for a February 1989 release, but would get delayed until May 12th. When it finally opened on 317 screens in Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, Philly, San Francisco, Toronto and Washington DC, the film would gross $893k, putting in twelfth place for the weekend, but its per screen average would be the fourth best amongst the films in the top twenty. The film would fall one place in its second week,  losing 35% of its opening weekend audience, grossing $577k. The film would slowly hemorrhage theatres and box office until the plug was pulled in mid-July with only $3.9m in tickets sold.   The sole lasting legacy of the film is that Damon Wayans enjoyed working so much with Jim Carrey that when Damon's brother Kenan Ivory Wayans was putting together a new comedy television show together thanks to the success of his movie I'm Gonna Get You Sucka, Damon would get his brother to give Carrey a chance. In Living Color would make Carrey and the Wayans Brothers stars, and would change the course of comedy. So there's that…   In late June, the Lightning Pictures imprint would release their first movie in nearly two years, Far From Home.

This week on Saturday Night Jive we're watching another classic SNL episode from the notorious Season 6.  Lorne Michaels leaves the show and takes the cast and writers with him.  When the show comes back they've hired an all-star cast that includes Joe Piscopo, Gilbert Gottfried, Denny Dillon, Ann Risley, and of course, Charlie "Mutha-fuckin" Rocket.  This is the episode where it all came screeching to a halt.  Dallas star Charlene Tilton hosts with musical guests Todd Rundgren and "new talent" Prince.  Things are going as good as Season 6 goes, meaning the show is pretty terrible, and then all of a sudden during the Goodnights, Charles Rocket says one of the 7 words you can never say on television.  The cast reaction to the four letter word is one of my personal favorite SNL moments of all time.  Unfortunately the episode leading up to that glorious "fuck" is truly horrendous (minus the debut of Mister Robinson's Neighborhood).  Shortly after this incident the producer and entire cast were fired (with the exception of Joe Piscopo and Eddie Murphy) and they went back to the drawing board to re-tool the show a second time.  Sketches include Mister Robinson's Neighborhood, Pork Parade, Women Behind Bars, Submissive Sugar Daddies, Stevie Wonder in Fiddler On The Roof, a Rocket Report from the subway, and puppet boxing from Marc Weiner.  We're still trying to solve the mystery of Charles Rocket's murder and we're also on the lookout for the whereabouts of Yvonne Hudson.  Enjoy!Full archive of all podcast episodes available at saturdaynightjive.blogspot.comEmail us anything at saturdaynightjivepodcast@gmail.comDownload Here

Last week.. We discussed Season 6 of Saturday Night Live which was Eddie Murphy's debut on national television. It was a rocky season. SNL hired an all new cast that the crittics hated. This season resulted in the firing of the whole cast except Eddie Murphy and Joe Piscopo. I had mentioned that I would love to know more about that season. Luck would have it that one of the listeners of the podcast knew a writer from that season. That writer's name is FERRIS BUTLER (SNL 1980-1981). In this episode... We talk about how he came to be a writer on this infamous season; How Eddie Murphy got on the show; His relationship with Gilbert Gotfried & much more. Most importantly.. We find out about how he was the inspiration for "FERRIS BUELLER'S DAY OFF".Support the show

Prepare to crash land in a backyard pool and shave off all your candy-colored fur so we can have a Close Encounter of the Sex Romp kind with 1988's Earth Girls Are Easy. Why would Geena Davis ever pick Charles Rocket's Dr Love over actual Adonis Jeff Goldblum? Did you know Damon Wayans could tear up a dance floor? And why did Jim Carrey not spend his career being a hot blond guy? Was this movie just a feature-length vehicle for Julie Brown's excellent Cuz I'm A Blond music video? (We're ok with that.) Or was it a subversive comment on gender norms and sexual mores? (Even more ok with that.) We'd like to answer you, but we can't spell that good. Read Randall's full episode notes at yourenofun.com.And follow us on Instagram , Facebook and Twitter.

On October 7, 2005, Charles Rocket was found dead with two self inflicted stab wounds to the throat. How did we get here? This week on Death in Entertainment. 

Kevin, Mike, and Liam are back to discuss season two of the classic 80s detective comedy Moonlighting! This time out: David Addison's brother Richie (played by guest star Charles Rocket) arrives into town with a crush on Maddie and a briefcase full of found drug money! The boys discuss the show's return, the characters breaking the fourth wall for the very first time, and go on various tangents: Charles Rocket's place in the Providence underground scene, the Matrix, Burger Chef, etc. We're back!

"Don't let me die alone!!!" Picked by our Patreon members, the Cannon Bros (Frank and Geoff) dip our toes back in the scuzzy waters of Michael Winner with 1983's THE WICKED LADY! A movie the Cannon Bros are very conflicted about (but passes the "Pluto TV" test). In this episode, we talk about how much the "Razzies" suck, how the movie benefits from Faye Dunaway's gloriously unhinged and elated performance and of course- Cannon obligatory sex scenes. We also ask, could this be a camp classic? Would you buy a “Winner Winner, Bronson dinner!” shirt? Do we write an episode of Charles Rocket-era SNL with Michael Winner or Charles Bronson hosting? And THAT'S Commander Troi?! What else...what else…oh yeah...WHIP FIGHT!!! It's a 2 for 1 podcast because within this episode of The Cannon Canon you also get our "Talkin' Genesis" podcast.

When he asks for directions, she tells him in an Austrian accent, which he confuses with Australian (SOUND 1). We then see that he's the limo driver. As he drives around the city, we meet Harry driving the dog van giving the dogs food, speeding, and tossing the dogs all over the van. Lloyd arrives at a large house, and annoyingly knocks on the door, Mary answers, and Lloyd is struck. He awkwardly chats with Mary in the limo. Harry arrives to deliver the dogs, and they're covered in ketchup and mustard. Mary tries to tip Lloyd, which he turns down, and he VERY awkwardly hugs her. He tries to hold it together. As Mary walks, shes followed by two nefarious looking characters and they discuss picking up the drop. Mary puts a briefcase down, and Lloyd swoops in and grabs it before the two bad guys can. Harry and Lloyd meet at an apartment building, both looking very defeated, and being followed by the two people from the air port. Harry and Lloyd talk about their days (SOUND 2), lloyd calls Harry a loser for losing his job. The two henchmen knock on the door, and they think it's the gas man, so they bail. The bad guys want to send them a message, so he kills their bird. Lloyd goes to the store, to get the essentials, and ends up getting robbed by an old lady in a scooter(SOUND 3). Back at the apartment they're depressed, and the birds head fell off. Lloyd suggest they go to Aspen. They argue, and Lloyd has a heartfelt moment of being sick and tired of not having anyone. Harry agrees to go, causing Lloyd to cry. The trip begins.  S:-My main issue with this whole movie and the premise is I find it hard to believe there are people ACTUALLY this dumb in the world. I get there are dumb people, but this level of willful ignorance is hard to imagine.-Why didn't the hench people just kick down the door. To get the briefcase, i would have.  On the road, Lloyd tells Harry he made some extra money by selling some of their stuff, including Petey the headless bird... Which we see the head has been taped back on, as the henchmen walk past. They find a note on the door addressed to the "gas man" which enrages them, and they assume Harry and Lloyd are pros and could've been trailing them for weeks to know he's got gas. Harry and Lloyd are eating at a diner when they give a waitress a hard time. Harry then spills some salt, who Lloyd advises to throw some salt over his shoulder, which hits Sea Bass, (SOUND 4) Who then hocks a loogie on his burger. Lloyd hatches a plan, goes to talk to Sea Bass and offers to buy them drinks. He then approaches the waitress and tells her Sea Bass is offering to pay for their bill. When she checks to confirm this, he waves at her, confirming. They take off, and Sea Bass comes running out pissed off. Lloyd tells Harry how he came up with the idea from a movie...and in the movie, they're caught and their throats are slit. Lloyd then has to pee, and finds relief using beer bottles. He fills up 4 four when they pass a cop, who unlike Tucker, is doing his job, and they're pulled over... Harry tells him its a cardigan, but appreciates it anyway. So they stop. The officer asks if they've been drinking, citing the bottles in the floor. He demands they give him one, and he takes a big swig... causing him to spasm, and tells them to leave. A large house in aspen, Mary and her parents, and Nick, a family friend, are discussing how her husband has been kidnapped, and the dropped briefcase was a money drop for the kidnappers. They advise she act normal, go skiing and go to parties. Lloyd has a fantasy, about him and Mary, a cheeky first meeting, Lloyd telling stories with friends, he defends her honor in a restaurant fight, and they kiss next to a fire, as Mary takes off her top, Lloyd sees the headlights of a truck and breaks his fantasy. They stop at a scummy hourly motel, where they're both in a heart shaped tub, and can hear the neighbors banging it out. Lloyd tells Harry if he has some "knockers" he'd be banging him already. It gets a little weird for Harry. Harry tells Lloyd about an ex, Freda Feltcher...and his heartbreak when she left, and he suspected she was seeing someone else. Which Lloyd acts very guilty. The hench-dude is on the phone, in a phone booth, with Nick, discussing who Harry and Lloyd could be and how he wants his money. S:-I remember the first time I saw this when I was younger and didn't know what a boilermaker was. Ha.-I wonder how many times people have tried this trick since this movie came out. It is pretty genius.-Peeing into a beer bottle while sitting has to be REALLY hard.  Joe the henchman hatches his own plan, posing like his car died, and is picked up by Harry and Lloyd. He immediately sees how moronic they are with them playing the "it" game across him and making up rules. I imagine this what it was like for Chris growing up, before they invented Tv and radio. Lloyd then makes the most annoying sound in the world(SOUND 5). They start singing the mockingbird song, as Joe is about to pull his gun and shoot them, when they pull over to pick a hispanic family up, they all sing along. They all stop at another diner, when they share a hot candy and have a severe reaction. Joe calls Nick and mentions he's going to put rat poison in their drinks. When he returns, Harry and Lloyd are shown putting the hot candies on Joes burger. He realizes they don't even know Mary, as he takes a bite of the burger. He has a very bad reaction because of his ulcer. He tells them to get his pills,(SOUND 6) Harry gets what turns out to be the rat poison. He realizes what it is, and dies. Movie investigators who are obviously doing a better job than Tucker are investigating. Harry and Lloyd stop to get gas; Harry chats up a woman also getting gas. Lloyd, using the bathroom sees a note on the bathroom wall, "For Manly Love, be here on March 25th at 2:15am" in Tuckers handwriting... Lloyd looks at his watch as it hits 2:15, someone enters. Lloyd tries to hide, but the door is busted open and he screams as Sea Bass is standing there. Harry keeps hitting on the girl, and accidentally sets himself on fire. As Sea Bass advances to sexually assault Lloyd, Harry barges in, knocking Sea Bass out, and puts his foot out in the toilet, saving Lloyd. Back on the road, Harry is making fun of Lloyd, and Lloyd does not like it. As Lloyd drives, he takes a wrong turn and heads back east towards Nebraska. We see Harry sitting in a field, angry that Lloyd has gone the wrong way. They argue and Harry starts walking home. As he walks, Lloyd comes riding up on a tiny motorcycle the same size as Tuckers old one. He tells Harry he traded in the van for it, straight up, and gets 70 miles per gallon, we get Harrys response: (SOUND 7). A musical montage of them. on the bike as they make it to Aspen. They walk around Aspen, and after trying to look up her name, Lloyd can't remember her last name. They argue and fight, as Harry tries to get rid of the briefcase, and throws it, it pops open and they see it's full of cash. They discuss getting reasonable accommodations and paying it all back with IOUs... They're then shown in the presidential suite, which they take, and pull up in a Lamborghini, full of boxes, and all new clothes. S:-All the smoking in the movie... Very 90's.-The whole bathroom/gay meet up thing and Harry making fun of him afterwards... I'm surprised this movie hasn't gotten canceled yet.-I still to this day will say to myself "woah, jeez... look at the butt on that..." In the hotel room, Lloyd finds a newspaper article about Mary, and that she'll be at a Gala the next day. Que another music montage a-la Pretty Woman, as they are prepped for the gala. They arrive in a horse drawn carriage in now classic orange and blue tuxes, top hats, canes, and ruffled shirts. As they enter, the lady henchman recognizes them and alerts Nick. They continuously make weird scenes, and Harry goes to introduce himself and try to buildup Lloyd and get Mary interested and prepped (SOUND 8). As they chat, Marys step-mom invites Harry to go skiing with Mary, and he doesn't get a chance to tell her about Lloyd. Harry tells him he's got him a date with her tomorrow, and to celebrate, they open a bottle of champagne; which the cork kills one of the owls. Harry is getting ready to go skiing with Mary, having told Lloyd she said she would meet him in the hotel bar. Harry makes an awkward entrance as Lloyd waits at the bar. Harry on the lift, gets his tongue stuck to some frost... obviously he never watched A Christmas Story. Lloyd is in the bar and a woman sits next to him, complaining about her ex-boyfriend. Harry and Mary make a snow man, and have an intense snow fight. Lloyd finds out where Mary lives, AND that we landed on the moon. Chris, what was that day like? Lloyd sees Harry drops off Mary... spawning one of the best gag gifs/memes of all time. At the hotel, Harry and Lloyd chat, and Lloyd makes Harry a laxative drink. At Marys house, it all hits explosively, (SOUND 9) when Mary tells him the toilet doesn't work. Lloyd shows up and tells her he has her briefcase. They go to the hotel to give her the briefcase back, but Nick and the female henchman are in the lobby. S:-How much do you think was in the briefcase to afford the presidential suite, clothes, and the Lambo?-If you found a briefcase full of money, what would you do with it? Depending on how much was in it? Lloyd practices what he wants to say to Mary, but he can't get the words out right (SOUND 10)... like Tucker, desperately wants to make love to a school boy...and we support you and your lifestyle. Mary shoots Lloyd down, but he sees a shimmer of hope (SOUND 11). When Nick knocks on the door and pulls a gun. Harry comes through the lobby, and we see the gas station woman, who calls out to him. Nick orders Lloyd to open the briefcase, revealing all the IOUs, and he's enraged. Harry comes in and Nick holds them at gunpoint. Harry and Lloyd argue and decide to end their friendship. Nick shoots Harry, but hes not hurt and he pulls a gun, and shoots at Nick, but doesn't hit him. Just then the FBI breaks in, arresting Nick and the henchwoman. Marys husband Bobby arrives, and they're introduced. He thanks them and cut to Harry and Lloyd walking, saying the police confiscated everything, when the Hawaiian Tropic bus stops saying they're looking for some oil boys, and Harry and Lloyd very helpfully send them to another town to find some guys to help oil them up. They walk down the road playing the it game, as the credits roll. S:-I like that nick is using a Walther PPK.-The whole FBI using Harry, giving him a gun, bullshit. What if he had killed Nick? Is he a murderer? Why would they give him a gun?  Web: https://theguysreview.simplecast.com/EM: theguysreviewpod@gmail.comIG: @TheGuysReviewPodTW: @The_GuysReviewFB: https://facebook.com/TheGuysReviewPod/ Please, rate and review us wherever you get your podcasts from!! Thank you,-The Guys

Poor Charles Rocket, gone too soon.  We watched Delirious from 1991 and, once again, he is the best part of a bad movie we watched.  This movie stars John Candy as a soap opera writer who gets sucked into his own show.  He discovers (almost immediately) that he can control the universe with his magic typewriter.  Lucky for him there exists a magic typewriter repairman in this fictional universe in case he wants to break it for no discernable reason.  This movie has a good concept but does little with it.  We pitch a better movie with the same concept, come closer to solving Charles Rocket's murder, and discover that George is pro Hitler.  Enjoy!Full archive of all podcast episodes available at saturdaynightjive@blogspot.comEmail us anything at saturdaynightjivepodcast@gmail.comDownload Here

We were supposed to watch The Man Who Knew Too Little but only half of us were able to fulfill that goal.  Turns out the movie is really boring anyway so we're not missing anything.  Instead, we called an audible and watched an old episode of Saturday Night Live.  This one comes from Season 6, hosted by Bill Murray and it is the last episode to feature the "new 1980 cast".  This is the last hurrah for Charles Rocket, Ann Risley, Gilbert Gottfried and producer Jean Doumanian.  This is arguably the best episode of the season but that doesn't mean it is without its faults.  Mostly an incredibly long drug trip with Walter Cronkite.  Enjoy!Download Here

Tysto joins me once again but this time to chat about the Dave Thomas written spoof, Steel Collar Man, starring Charles Rocket. It's basically an episode of "Jimmy explains what's going on to Tysto". Enjoy!

We have another SNL episode, this one from the dreaded season 6.  Lorne Michaels, Bill Murray, and Peter Aykroyd have all left the show so they got Gilbert Gottfried, Ann Risley and Charles Rocket.  This is the second episode from that season hosted by Malcolm McDowell and featuring Captain Beefheart as the musical guest.  This is a particularly notorious episode for a few reasons.  We get our first sighting of Eddie Murphy (although very briefly) and it makes liberal use of the N-word.  We also get the Leather Weather Report, a famously bad sketch, a commercial for milk brought to you by Alex DeLarge, sketches built on puns, and, in case I forgot to mention it, a sketch where Charles Rocket says the N-word.  This was a rough one to watch, even as a die hard SNL fan this was painful.Download Here 

Things are about to get stupid! Senior Writer Aaron Sarnecky and Editor-in-Chief Bill Bodkin sit down to talk about Dumb and Dumber, which marks its 25th anniversary this week. The 1994 hit comedy stars Jim Carrey, Jeff Daniels, Lauren Holly, Mike Starr, Karen Duffy, Charles Rocket, and Teri Garr. It was directed by Peter Farrelly, who also co-wrote the film with his brother Bobby Farrelly and Bennett Yellin. Aaron and Bill discuss when they each first saw the film, the performances, their favorite gags, and Carrey and Daniels' careers. Aaron and Bill also reflect on how the movie is a product of its time and where Dumb and Dumber ranks among other Jim Carrey comedies.

An underachieving, obsessive stalker needs to convince an audience that he’s not a complete screw up in 86-minutes.

Weird to think that Disney went a little Mark Twain crazy in the 90s, isn't it? But they went whole-hog on film adaptations of quite a few of his novels, and this week on We Want The D we tackle TOM AND HUCK, their take on The Adventures of Tom Sawyer starring a couple Tiger Beat cover regulars. Yup, JayTayToe is back and he's brought tragic victim of how Hollywood treats child actors Brad Renfro with him for all sorts of 1840s era adventures. You know, classic old timey stuff like almost drowning, psychologically torturing your cousin, and witnessing a vicious graveyard murder that nearly results in an innocent man being lynched. But somehow between subject matter and the innate sadness of a movie featuring Brad Renfro and Charles Rocket, we still manage to have some fun with this one.

We are joined by returning guest Russ Feder, of the Mad About Mad About You podcast. CW this week for some discussion of suicide, as we have a SECOND episode featuring actor Charles Rocket playing a DIFFERENT CHARACTER than we saw him portray in Leap For Lisa. This week's ep is quite possibly the new favorite version of A Christmas Carol for all of us, and hands down features one of the best Al outfits ever created. Did you know that Dawn's grandpa, Red Grey, got to pick his own name? And Russ has an uncle Red Redd! What's everyone's favorite chromatic name? Let us know! Let's hear everyone's elaborate explanations about how Sam drove across New York City via the Golden Gate Bridge! That's some pretty sloppy stock footage there, Quantum Leap. Special shoutout to Charles Dickens, who shockingly didn't even get a story credit for this script. You'll make it one day, Charlie. Keep at it.
