“SNL? You still watch that? SNL hasn’t been funny since Farley and Sandler left….Dude have you listened to the Verve yet?”
– My older brother, 1997.
“SNL? You still watch that? Even you admit SNL hasn’t been funny since Ferrell left…..Dude, start watching LOST. I have no idea how they’re going to end this thing, but it’s going to be awesome.”
– My best friend from high school, 2004.
“SNL? You still watch that? SNL hasn’t been funny since Fallon and Fey left….No, Matt, I’m not going to disconnect the Wii so we can play Mario Kart on Super Nintendo. You’re 26, not 80. What the hell is a Genesis?”
– My younger, ignorant sister, 2011.
As roughly 30,000 hours of DVD box sets and VH1 retrospectives can attest, Saturday Night Live occupies a truly unique space in the American comedic landscape. Since the show debuted in 1975 with John Belushi offering to boil wolverines, SNL has served as a generational touchstone with a comedic staying power unlike anything else of its kind.

[“If your Momy’s acting strange and going through some kind of change…”]
Even for adults, it might be hard to figure out if a loved one is turning into some kind of crazed monster, or just going through something Jeanie Linders might write a musical about. The issue would be compounded were a parent to get bitten by the zombie bug before their offspring were old enough to understand the facts of life and the undead.
Fortunately Matt Mogk, the Founder & Head Researcher of the Zombie Research Society, has written an invaluable educational guide to help prepare children for the coming plague. That’s Not Your Mommy Anymore is a beautifully illustrated and fun to read book which helps kids spot the early warning signs of zombism.

“You could say this is a mainstream film if an alien’s saying it”
– Greg Mottola
Our favorite Simon Pegg and Nick Frost projects were directed by Edgar Wright. That’s Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and the BBC series Spaced. While Wright made Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World, Pegg and Frost wrote a script for the comedy Paul, and Greg Mottola got to direct them.
In Paul, Frost and Pegg play aspiring sci-fi authors and fans who begin a road trip at San Diego Comic-Con. After a montage of Comic-Con adventures, they take to the road again to visit America’s alien sites. Soon they meet a real alien, Paul (Seth Rogen), and have to help him get home.

Matt Stone and Trey Parker are best known as the creators of the irreverent and extreme Comedy Central series South Park, which has been running for 14 seasons now. On it, the pair have tackled numerous subjects that other TV shows would deem untouchable. Their humor often takes aim at cultural icons like Michael Jackson and Tom Cruise, but their favorite anvil to hammer is organized religion.
It’s that love of religion that led Stone and Parker to write and produce their latest work, The Book of Mormon, which opened last week at the Eugene O’Neill theater in New York, and has thus far received rave reviews. Stone and Parker describe their musical as “an atheist’s love letter to religion.” It’s an interesting line to walk, but while both are non-believers, they admit to being fans of religion in general.
