Originally Released: March 22, 2017 It's time to root for the bad guys—just this once. This week's Throwback Thursday is part of a special crossover event put together by The 80s League, a collaborative effort started by Dave from 80s Reboot Overdrive. The League brought together several blogs and podcasts (including Return to the '80s) to celebrate all things retro—and this month's theme is '80s Movie Villains! In this episode: Paul reviews the 2016 Ghostbusters reboot (Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, and crew). Robert and Paul discuss Robert's then-controversial article, In Defense of Journey Without Steve Perry, released after Journey was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and Neal Schon was being bombarded with questions about Perry's return. A brand new Play This, Not That segment featuring Survivor—because they're more than just “Eye of the Tiger”! And finally, a deep dive into our favorite 80s villains—from Biff Tannen and Hans Gruber to The Kurgan and The Fratellis.

Submit your film or screenplay to the WILDsound Festival today: https://filmfreeway.com/WILDsoundFilmandWritingFestival What is a Screwball Comedy? A comedy that is characterized by fast-paced, witty dialogue, farcical situations, and romantic storylines that often involve a battle of the sexes. They emerged in the 1930s and became popular in the 1940s. How is it different than a straight up romantic comedy? Screwball is a genre that focuses less the romantic courtship between two people, and more on the battle of the sexes. It always has a strong female protagonist, and usually a male protagonist trying to keep up with her. It puts the emphasis on the spoofing of love, rather than the "will they get together" plot. Where did the term "screwball" come from? It gets its name from the baseball pitch "the screwball". For those unfamiliar with baseball, it's a pitch a pitcher throws to a batter that moves in the opposite direction than a typical baseball pitch like a fastball, curveball, or slider. A screwball is an oddball pitch, like the female leads in the 1930s comedy films where they played the "opposite" of your typical female stereotype that were back in the day. Instead of wanting to find a husband, birth a few babies and be a homemaker - the female leads in the "screwball comedy" are strong, independent from men, and want to focus their life on their passions. They are attracted to men, but will only begin a courtship of any kind if it was on their terms - not the mans. Famous screwball comedy films? It Happened One Night (1934) Directed by Frank Capra. Starred Clark Gable & Claudette Colbert Bringing Up Baby (1938) Directed by Howard Hawks. Starred Katharine Hepburn & Cary Grant The Philadelphia Story (1940). Directed by George Cukor. Also Starred Katharine Hepburn, Cary Grant. With James Stewart added to the mix. The brand declined in popularity through the years, but it still shows up in its style. The Coen Brothers have made a few with "Intolerable Cruelty", "The Hudsucker Proxy", and "Hail Caeser" Bridesmaids (2011), written and starring Kristen Wiig is considered a screwball comedy. Is any one a fan of Amy Sherman-Palladino TV shows?: Gilmore Girls. The Marvelous Mr. Maisel. Étoile. Those television shows are more definitely classic Screwball Comedies. From the characters. plot points. fast paced dialogue. Even the way the shows are directed - are classic screwball! Enjoy the past, present, and future of the Screwball Comedy!

“Macgrubie don't play like homie, and homie don't play like that.” We've reached the explosive finale of “May They Rest in Peace” Month, and we're paying tribute to a true Hollywood icon — Val Kilmer — by revisiting one of his most underrated and outrageous roles. This week, Henrique and David head to New Mexico for a deep dive into the chaotic, raunchy, and wildly misunderstood cult comedy: 2010's “MacGruber”! A former special operative is pulled back into action to stop his arch-nemesis, Dieter Von Cunth, from launching a nuclear warhead at Washington, D.C. It flopped in theaters, spawned a hit TV revival a decade later, and features Val Kilmer at his villainous best.

Nick shines a light on Shia LaBeouf's two turns as Saturday Night Live host—both surprisingly strong, both likely his last. Packed with standout sketches and offbeat moments, the episodes featured Shia as a bizarrely delightful version of magician Doug Henning on a twisted Match Game, and as one half of a duo of underage knuckleheads scheming to score beer with Andy Samberg. There's also a nod to Indiana Jones and a solid lineup of SNL regulars including Bill Hader, Kristen Wiig, Kenan Thompson, Maya Rudolph, and Fred Armisen. Nick shares behind-the-scenes stories from the tapings and wraps things up with Shia's wild retelling of his late-night Walgreens arrest on The Late Show with David Letterman. A look back at a talented, unpredictable host who nailed it—and probably won't be back. [EP 124]

Nick takes a hilarious stroll down memory lane to the night Peyton Manning traded his helmet for a hosting gig on Saturday Night Live. From Maya Rudolph and Amy Poehler dishing it out as the "Bronx Beat" ladies, to Andy Samberg's wild take on Sanjaya and a surprise visit from Dan Aykroyd, the show was packed with standout moments. Things get especially weird (and wonderful) when Manning joins Kristin Wiig for a late-night sketch that goes completely off the rails. But the real showstoppers? That infamous United Way spoof where Manning's tough love with a bunch of kids turns into comic gold, and Will Forte's unforgettable dance-floor meltdown in the Locker Room sketch—one he still calls a personal favorite. With clips, commentary, and memories from both Manning and Forte, this one's a winning highlight reel from a surprisingly game host. [EP 123]

MUSIC Incubus have titled their ninth album Something in the Water. The family of late Slipknot drummer Joey Jordison has launched a Kickstarter campaign to finish and release the only album Jordison's band Vimic recorded, Open Your Omen. Vimic released four singles in 2016 and 2017 but never completed the full album.   Is Diddy innocent because he was WASTED when he horrifically abused people both physically and sexually?  That's what his defense hopes to argue.   Happy birthday to Willie Nelson, who turns 92 today. He just put out his 77th solo album this week, so he's still rockin' even in his 90's.  Some people would have you think otherwise though.      TV The trial for the 2016 armed robbery of Kim Kardashian in Paris began on Monday, with ten defendants—dubbed the "grandpa robbers" due to their ages—facing charges including armed robbery and kidnapping, NBC News reports.      Mercedes' much-discussed Formula One driver change is the focus of The Seat, a documentary set for release on Netflix next month.   Andor alert … Episodes 4, 5, and 6 of the Star Wars series Andor will be released on Disney+ at 8p tonight, which has fans of the series freaking out. The reaction to the first three episodes was overwhelmingly positive, with some critics calling it "a masterpiece" and "Star Wars at its best." And it's become the highest rated Star Wars project on Rotten Tomatoes in the 48-year history of the franchise  Tiffani Thiessen is partnering with Chili's to debut a specialty cocktail — one that's '90s themed.

Upon its release on April 28, 2011, Judd Apatow's Bridesmaids became a commercial and critical smash.

That script, by Kristen Wiig and Annie Mumolo, is a big part of the film's success, a hilarious yet insightful exploration of women's friendships, class divides, and mid-life crises.

The central theme of JJ, Alec and Mattson's discourse revolves around the cinematic work "Bridesmaids," a film that has elicited a spectrum of opinions from us regarding its merits and shortcomings. Throughout this episode, we engage in a meticulous examination of the film, which, while possessing certain comedic elements, is ultimately perceived as excessively prolonged and replete with moments that fail to achieve the desired comedic impact. The dialogue traverses the performances of the cast, notably Kristen Wiig and Melissa McCarthy, as we delve into the nuances of their portrayals and the overall chemistry that either enhances or detracts from the narrative. Furthermore, we express our collective sentiments regarding the film's structure, asserting that its attempts at humor frequently exceed acceptable bounds, leading to a dilution of its potential wit. As we conclude our analysis, we offer our ratings, reflecting a consensus that, despite some redeeming qualities, "Bridesmaids" ultimately falls short of the standards expected from a contemporary comedy.Support us:https://www.patreon.com/whatsourverdictEmail us: hosts@whatsourverdict.comFollow us:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/whatsourverdictTwitter: @whatsourverdictInstagram: @whatsourverdictYouTube: https://youtube.com/channel/UC-K_E-ofs3b85BnoU4R6liAVisit us:www.whatsourverdict.com

Nick looks back at Season 45 of Saturday Night Live, a season that started off strong with Woody Harrelson hosting and Billie Eilish as the musical guest. Everything felt business as usual—until it wasn't. No one could have predicted that the season would end early, transformed into a series of prerecorded, at-home episodes due to the onset of a global pandemic. Nick analyzes the season episode by episode, revisiting standout sketches and memorable moments. Along the way, he reflects on how COVID-19 not only changed the world but also forced SNL to rethink how comedy could be created and delivered under lockdown conditions. Highlights include appearances by Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Will Ferrell, Daniel Craig, Brad Pitt, Kristen Wiig, and Eddie Murphy, whose long-awaited and Emmy-winning return as host was a major high point—just before the world came to a halt.

They may have gotten laughs at the table read or killed during rehearsal, but for some reason, these sketches completely tanked on live television. On this episode of That Show…, Nick looks back at five Saturday Night Live sketches that bombed in front of a national audience. You'll hear those disastrous moments, the stories behind them, and a breakdown of what went wrong—some of them are actually pretty funny! Talented performers like Christina Applegate, Dakota Johnson, John Goodman, Sarah Sherman, Kenan Thompson, Bobby Moynihan, and Mary Gross all played a part in these infamous misfires. Also featured are insights from comedy legends like Conan O'Brien, Kristen Wiig, Tom Hanks, and Seth Meyers as they share their own experiences of bombing on SNL. [Ep 114]

It's hard to believe that it was 50 years ago this year that Saturday Night Live made its debut on television. A four-part docuseries is coming out this week on Peacock, SNL 50: Beyond Saturday Night, which will give fans a look inside the show's making. Who knew that The Interview was so timely? I am doing the same in this week's episode. It was such a delight to sit down with 7-time Emmy Winner, Lindsay Shookus. For over twenty years, Lindsay worked in and became head of the talent department at SNL. Not only did she have one of the most exciting and, as she would say, ‘pinch me' careers that exist in entertainment (managing, booking, and discovering the talent for one of the greatest and longest-running comedy shows ever on television), but she learned so many important life lessons along the way. After leaving SNL in 2023, Lindsay has gone on to speak to thousands of people about the wisdom she gained during her time on the show and the importance of cultivating relationships with people during your career. Lindsay is also the Co-Founder of ‘Women Work F***ing Hard' – a group connecting and boosting women. In this conversation, Lindsay gives us a behind-the-scenes look at the production of SNL. She shares so many stories and experiences from her time there: from getting Snickers bars and vodka for the amazing Betty White to discovering Kristen Wiig on a tape, to getting a boost to her career from Alec Baldwin.   Lindsay and I also talked about what it's like to work in that high-energy, 24/7 environment and incorporate that type of all-encompassing work with being a mother. We explore the important lessons learned from her time on SNL and how she approaches her life and work today. I loved taping this episode with Lindsay – she is down to earth, hilarious, and incredibly wise. I know you'll love listening to her amazing stories about life behind the scenes at SNL and the lessons she learned along the way. If you enjoy the show, please rate and review. Be sure to follow us on Instagram @TheInterviewWithLeslie. A new podcast is released every Wednesday.

Nick welcomes film critic Steve Prokopy to the podcast to share how his love for Saturday Night Live was inspired by his father's obsession with George Carlin, carried through his high school years during the Eddie Murphy era, and now includes a deep appreciation for the Digital Shorts from The Lonely Island.

Steve's Top 5 Favorite Sketches are revealed, featuring classics like Debbie Downer, Black Jeopardy, Massive Headwound Harry, and an unforgettable appearance from Stefon. It's a great conversation filled with SNL nostalgia and behind-the-scenes insights!  [Ep106]

Welcome to the Munsons at the Movies podcast. Each episode we delve into the filmography of a randomly selected actor. In this episode of Munsons at the Movies, the crew dives into the life and career of the endlessly talented Kristen Wiig.

They discuss the power of her “mirror on the wall” moments that reveal her depth as a performer and why Cori dubs her the ultimate Hollywood cool girl. Whether stealing scenes in sketch comedy or shining on the silver screen, Kristen Wiig proves she's a star who defies easy categorization. How does she rank on the Munson Meter? Listen to find out.

Road trips — and road trip movies — are as American as apple pie. And now, currently streaming on Netflix, we have director Josh Greenbaum's poignant and very funny documentary “Will & Harper,” which tags along on a cross country road trip with close friends Will Ferrell and Harper Steele as the two navigate Harper's recent transition as a woman. Since meeting during their first week on staff together at “Saturday Night Love,” they've been tight ever since. But when Harper sends Will an email coming out as a trans woman, she can't be sure how her famous comedian friend will react. In short order, Will proposes a road trip so that they can ask all those questions that arise after such a big change.   Director Josh Greenbaum joins Ken on the pod to discuss all the joys and bumps on the road that transpired over the course of Will and Harper's epic 16-day journey to such noted tourist destinations as the Grand Canyon… and a dive bar in Meeker, Oklahoma. Along the way, the two tackle such questions as, “What are the new ground rules for the friendship, if any?” “Can Harper still feel safe and comfortable in the same kind of places she used to visit as a man?” And “How are your boobs??” The laughs and the tears come in equal measure. Buckle up and enjoy the ride.   “Will & Harper” has recently been named to the Oscar Shortlist for Best Documentary Feature, and “Harper and Will Go West,” the theme song for the trip written by Kristin Wiig, has been named to the Oscar Shortlist for Best Original Song.   Hidden Gem: “Anvil! The Story of Anvil”   Follow: @josh.greenbaum on Instagram @topdocspod on Instagram and X    The Presenting Sponsor of "Top Docs" is Netflix.

The Spin Chagrin, a concept that finds Frank having to watch a movie he's never seen before based on the random spin of a wheel filled with off-the-wall genres, continues into its third year; the twist this year is that all the categories are quotables from Frank himself. In this episode, Frank's category was "Bad Mouth Feel.” For this category, he watched and reviewed only one movie: the 2016 animated movie Sausage Party with voice work by Seth Rogen, Michael Cera, Kristen Wiig, Paul Rudd, Danny McBride, Bill Hader, Craig Robinson, and others.

Impressions have been a cornerstone of Saturday Night Live since its inception, showcasing the cast's incredible comedic and mimicry skills. In this episode of That Show…, Nick highlights some of his favorite SNL impressions from over the years. Included are Kristen Wiig's hilariously over-the-top impersonation of Jamie Lee Curtis promoting Activia Yogurt, Emma Stone's spot-on portrayal of Lindsay Lohan, and Vanessa Bayer's uncanny Jennifer Aniston impression—delivered while the real Jennifer Aniston sits right next to her. You'll also hear Melissa Villaseñor sneaking her Dolly Parton and Lady Gaga impressions into Weekend Update, and Taran Killam's biting takedown of Bravo's Andy Cohen. Nick also shares behind-the-scenes stories about these bits and impressions and features a classic sketch where at least a dozen incredible impressions are showcased during “auditions” for Jurassic Park. This episode is all about making a great impression—and you'll laugh the whole way through.  [Ep100]

In the latest That Show..., Nick revisits a standout episode of Saturday Night Live that aired on November 21, 2009, when actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt hosted for the first time. This episode is legendary for containing what many consider one of the best opening monologues in SNL history. Gordon-Levitt wowed audiences by recreating Donald O'Connor's iconic "Make 'Em Laugh" number from the classic musical Singin' in the Rain, delivering the routine with incredible skill and energy. It's breathtaking to watch and remains one of the all-time greatest monologues. Alongside this unforgettable performance, Nick highlights some of the best sketches from that night, including a riotous edition of What's Up With That?, the debut of Secret Word featuring Kristen Wiig's hilarious Mindy Grayson, and a talk show parody with Andy Samberg, Bill Hader, Gordon-Levitt, and a spot-on David Matthews as Ozzy Osbourne. All of this fantastic comedy leads up to that unbelievable opening monologue that left audiences speechless. [Ep98]
