Tara Erickson & John Humphrey react to Ghostbusters (2016), the high-energy supernatural comedy reboot directed by Paul Feig (Bridesmaids, Spy) that reimagines the beloved franchise with a hilarious all-female team of paranormal investigators. Combining sharp humor, wild ghost action, and nostalgic callbacks to the 1984 classic, this reboot brings new life (and slime) to a fan-favorite world. The film stars Kristen Wiig (Bridesmaids, The Martian) as Dr. Erin Gilbert, a physicist determined to establish her credibility when her old paranormal book resurfaces. She reunites with her eccentric former colleague Abby Yates, played by Melissa McCarthy (Spy, The Heat), who continues to research the supernatural alongside brilliant engineer Jillian Holtzmann, played by Kate McKinnon (Saturday Night Live, Barbie). Rounding out the team is Leslie Jones (Coming 2 America, SNL) as Patty Tolan, a NYC subway worker with an encyclopedic knowledge of the city. Chris Hemsworth (Thor, Extraction) joins the cast as their clueless yet lovable receptionist Kevin. With witty banter, colorful visuals, and a spirit of chaotic fun, Ghostbusters (2016) celebrates the power of friendship, science, and not being afraid of any ghost.

That Show Hasn't Been Funny In Years: an SNL podcast on Radio Misfits

Nick takes a look back at Saturday Night Live Season 37, a strong and steady run marked by some unforgettable first-time hosts who went on to iconic status, including Melissa McCarthy, Maya Rudolph, and Mick Jagger. It was also a season of change, as Kristen Wiig and Andy Samberg said their goodbyes, and John Mulaney stepped into his first year as head writer and producer. The episode revisits standout sketches like Alec Baldwin's spot-on Tony Bennett, a bridal shower derailed by a delightfully creepy Emma Stone, and Zooey Deschanel turning quirky into an art form on a talk show parody. Nick also highlights the final outing of the beloved soap opera spoof The Californians, packed with the full cast and a cameo from Steve Martin. Along the way, you'll hear great moments from hosts like Ben Stiller and Channing Tatum, plus some behind-the-scenes stories that make Season 37 a fan favorite worth remembering. [Ep 145]

Send us a textWhat happens when you trade a boardroom for a black box theater and decide to start from scratch in your 50s? We sit down with actor and stand-up comic Sheri Gill Dixon for a fearless, funny, and deeply human conversation about falling in love with movies as a teenage usher threading reels, discovering Meisner training in Virginia Beach, and building a comedy voice that lives or dies by instant feedback. Sheri takes us behind the scenes of big sets like Tammy—where she held her boundaries without apology—and shares why watching Melissa McCarthy and Kathy Bates work reminded her that kindness and professionalism scale.The heart of this conversation lives on stage. Sheri breaks down how she moved from the safety of scripts to the risk of stand-up, why writing often happens mid-set, and how crowd work can surface sharper material than any quiet desk session. We talk influence and range—Joan Rivers and Moms Mabley opening doors; Richard Pryor, Bernie Mac, Dave Chappelle shaping storytelling; Seinfeld's polish and Miss Pat's punch; Thea Vidale's relatable grit—and how those threads weave into a voice that's unmistakably her own. We also get real about women in comedy: the scarcity baked into flyers, the myth of one chair, and how the Ladies of Comedy pack flips the script through collaboration, shared opportunities, and relentless support.Beyond the mic, Sheri opens up about motivation that isn't Instagram-ready. Working in transit surfaced daily inequities; the George Floyd era pushed her toward doctoral work and sharpened her belief that art can ease what policy cannot. Comedy becomes the pressure valve and the bridge: a room that laughs together, even for an hour, carries less weight home. We swap notes on good rooms and cold crowds, choosing where to spend your energy, and the quiet power of a stranger saying your set made their night worth the babysitter.If you're navigating a late start, eyeing a pivot from acting to stand-up, or building a creative crew that resists gatekeeping, this one's for you. Hit follow, share this with a friend who needs the nudge, and drop a review with the moment that stuck with you—what leap are you ready to take next?Support the show

Nick dives into a BuzzFeed survey rounding up some of the most beloved Saturday Night Live sketches of all time, as voted on by fans. From outrageous characters to iconic moments, these picks span generations—and the people definitely have good taste. Highlights include Will Ferrell, Jimmy Fallon, and Sean Hayes battling fashion snobbery (and microscopic cell phones) in “Jeffrey's,” Christopher Walken's unforgettable turn as the ever-creepy “Continental,” and Cecily Strong getting way too emotional over dog food alongside Seth Rogen. Melissa McCarthy wrangles some unruly animal balloons, and the legendary “Sinatra Group” sketch makes a triumphant return, with Phil Hartman channeling Ol' Blue Eyes, Jan Hooks as a brooding Sinead O'Connor, and Sting nailing a punked-out Billy Idol. Nick caps things off with a behind-the-scenes gem from Seth Meyers and a revisit to Taylor Swift's clever “Monologue Song.” It's a celebration of fan favorites, iconic chaos, and the sketches that left a mark. [EP 128]

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

Ben Falcone isn't exactly known for making kid-friendly projects. His films with wife and frequent collaborator Melissa McCarthy are "R-rated quite often, but I do think there's a certain sweetness that we usually try to hit." And it's that sweetness he's bringing to his first kids' book, What's Scarier Than Thunder? "My secret goal is that it's something that kids will think is funny, but that parents will, too." The story follows Claire, who is afraid of thunderstorms. For future stories, Falcone sees many other things to be scared of: "Heights, first day of school, remember that one? Meeting someone new, auditions..." Another story he's actively involved with is the podcast Hildy the Barback and the Lake of Fire, which he created with McCarthy and Steve Mallory. "There's going to be a season two, so we're excited." And even though "the industry is clearly changing," Falcone says he believes in comedy. "Melissa and I, our big goal is to try to be a very small part of the bigger push to get comedies back in the theaters. I think it's so good for people to get together and laugh."See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
