BFG Podcast #170: 'Saturday Night,' "English Teacher,' and 'Megalopolis'

Book and Film Globe Podcast by Book and Film Globe

Episode notes

Art the Clown from 'Terrifier' three could not join host Neal Pollack for this week's BFG podcast because of various disgusting commitments, but Stephen Garrett is always available. He stops by the Pod Dome to talk about 'Saturday Night,' Jason Reitman's ode to the opening night of Saturday Night Live. Stephen liked the film, he enjoyed its ramshackle "let's put on a show" vibe and has warm, fuzzy memories of the early days of watching the program. Neal found the movie twitchy and annoying and overly reverential, though he did admire some of the celebrity impersonations and loved the cheap shots at Milton Berle. It's a film that celebrates something that doesn't really need to be celebrated.
