Ep. 302: Saturday Night / The Apprentice

Two origin stories set in New York in the 1970s are in theaters now, and we have some thoughts on both! First up, SATURDAY NIGHT, depicting the tension-filled first night of NBC's legendary sketch comedy. Does director Jason Reitman's love letter to a TV institution come off like a well-oiled machine -- like SNL circa 1978? Or fall apart under the weight of a faulty premise -- like SNL circa 1994? Listen in for our thoughts! After that, it's the Donald Trump parable THE APPRENTICE, starring Sebastian Stan in the title role and Jeremy Strong as his lawyer/mentor Roy Cohn. We have plenty to say about this one so don't miss it! Plus: The MCU's BLADE reboot hits rough waters, Brian revisits M. Night Shyamalan's SIGNS, Listener Letters, and much more!
