Check It Out: Indiana Jones And the Dial Of Destiny
The Not Ready For Primetime SNL Podcast
"Check It Out" is our catch-all title for non-SNL topics that we discuss periodically. Movies, TV, music...it's all under that umbrella. In this one, Mike found out Ryan hadn't watched this movie, insisted he did, and then they both talked about it! (If you're like Ryan, and haven't, you should: The last 30 minutes are some of the most bananas stuff you'll see, and isn't that better than films that play it safe?) As with many of our podcasts this summer, we are publishing this a few days after initially posting on our Patreon. We once again want to highlight our summer promotion...

We are keeping a special $3/month rate throughout the summer, so if you'd like to get first listen to episodes like this, we've tried to make it even more affordable. There's roughly a month left on this deal, so make sure to take advantage before it goes...

The Fantastic Four: First Steps

"Check It Out" is our catch-all title for non-SNL topics that we discuss periodically. Movies, TV, music...it's all under that umbrella. As with our "Superman" podcast, we are publishing this simultaneously with our Patreon feed, rather than a few days after posting there first. Once again: We also wanted to highlight our summer promotion over on Patreon!

Check It Out: Superman
The Not Ready For Primetime SNL Podcast
"Check It Out" is our catch-all title for non-SNL topics that we discuss periodically. Movies, TV, music...it's all under that umbrella. This week: we are actually dropping our review of James Gunn's "Superman" simultaneously with our Patreon feed, rather than a few days after posting there first. Given the attention around the movie, this made sense. But we also wanted to highlight our summer promotion over on Patreon! We are keeping a special $3/month rate throughout the summer, so if you'd like to get first listen to our episodes this summer, we've tried to make it even more...

Enjoy!

"Check It Out" is our catch-all title for non-SNL topics that we discuss periodically. Movies, TV, music...it's all under that umbrella. This is an episode we posted on our Patreon last week, and are sharing here now. In this episode at least both of us eventually dub "freewheeling," we cover a lot of topics around 2025 movies that have already been released, just about to release, or those we're excited about watching later this year. Films covered include (but are not limited to) · 28 Years Later · Sinners...

Check It Out: Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning
The Not Ready For Primetime SNL Podcast
"Check It Out" is our catch-all title for non-SNL topics that we discuss periodically. Movies, TV, music...it's all under that umbrella. We published this immediately after it premiered on our Patreon, but we are sharing it now here on the free feed. We go deep on our thoughts on the final (?) installment of this long-running franchise. After a brief break, we'll be back soon producing episodes over there (with a new, cheaper entry level for new subscribers) on a more regular basis throughout the summer. "Check It Out" will be the umbrella under which we talk about lots of things...

We released this to our Patreon subscribers yesterday, but making it available for all of you now. If you seek content like this earlier, join the others that have already subscribed to our Patreon! In the meantime, we will continue to drop SNL episodic recaps here the day after each episode airs and Patreon content on a staggered...

Saturday Night Live: Season 50, Episode 19: Walton Goggins
The Not Ready For Primetime SNL Podcast
Ryan and Mike are back with a look at the second-to-last episode of the season. This was a strong, silly episode that among other things showed that SNL has finally cracked how to cover the current President after almost a decade. Also, Ryan gets approximately 35 names wrong in this episode, so enjoy the journey. If you seek additional entertainment, join the others that have already subscribed to our Patreon! We will be dropping reviews of the final six episodes of ANDOR over there this week, and will be continually posting content there after the SNL season ends.
