#135 - Best Classic SNL Cast Member with Dave Thomas Sep 27, 2017

Show notes

On October 11, 1975 television sketch comedy experienced a seismic shift as NBC's Saturday Night made its premiere. Over the course of it's first five seasons, characters were created and stars were made, kicking off a cycle that continues over 40 years later. Looking back at that original five years, which of the comedy legends in that cast was the best?

While Mark and Hal are huge SNL nerds, it made sense to get someone with inside information. Enter Dave Thomas, a comedy legend in his own right, who was often there visiting his friends and would later work with Lorne Michaels himself. I'm going to stop writing this now because you just need to listen.

#133 - Best Superpower (redo) with Scott Adsit LIVE from DragonCon Sep 13, 2017

Show notes

Last year, we got Best Super Power wrong. At least that's what our listeners decided when we gave them the opportunity to overrule one of our episodes. Recorded live at DragonCon 2017, we recruited Scott Adsit (Big Hero 6, 30 Rock, Moral Orel, Mr. Show) to help us relitigate the topic live, and now we can definitively say that we got it right!

As we enter the dog days of summer, nothing feels more refreshing than a swim; but is it better to hop in the pool, or stride into the ocean? Mark and Hal are joined by Laser Webber, one half of The Doubleclicks (whose new album Love Problems is available now!), as they discuss swimming, almost drowning, octopi, the cast of Cocoon, and more! Also, lakes are RIGHT OUT.
