SATURDAY NIGHT - 8½ Minute Extended Preview

[@moredumbtoit5325]

Just an incredible movie, great job Reitman and my biggest respect getting people who look as close as possible without being impersonators or going for big name actors

[@droz1000]

The Billy Crystal guy really has the voice, and the Chevy chase guy is stone cold.

[@originalshock7063]

But the Andy have the voice of Adam Sandler... 😅

[@michaellucejr.6374]

Cory Michael Smith is so good as a young Chevy Chase and he was so iconic as young Edward Nygma /The Riddler on Gotham.

[@nms7872]

he kind of looks like christain bale

[@ashleybrooke2087]

He's having so much fun with this role too. Probably even more than the actual Chevy Chase did.

[@Cursed_Mark]

"Ya lookin sharp, Patches."

[@tracy_748]

he was the best part of the movie for me tbh

[@yako9256]

To those who don’t like this movie because it was “inaccurate,” that is to be expected from movies based on true stories. Some of Saturday Night wasn’t true to what happened that premiere night, some of it happened in later shows. Jason Reitman researched and spoke to the people involved that night, including Lorne Michaels. Reitman calls the movie “authentic”. In the sense, made or done in a way that faithfully resembles an original. The thing with these kinds of movies, is you have to realize, that they’re movies. It’s an art form. Not a documentary. You have to think about them as a painting, and not a photograph.

[@Hai_Lello]

Yeah, that’s me. You don’t have to put “inaccurate” in quotations, that’s exactly what it is. Just because that’s to be “expected” doesn’t make it right. It’s BS and studios need to stop doing it. Don’t tell me I’m watching the story of what happened if it didn’t happen. If the story isn’t good enough on its own, either don’t tell it or call it fiction. It’s that simple. Otherwise, what’s the point? Why have people walk away thinking they know the story of your life (or in this case, show) when 90% of it isn’t true? That’s why the world is full of rumors and misinformation now. I’m not gonna make a movie about myself as an only child, struggling to make it in the mean streets of the city if I had 8 siblings and lived in a mansion in the Hamptons. It makes no sense and nobody asked for it. They even made a big deal, the whole movie, of Lorne’s then-wife deciding whether or not she wanted to use his last name or her maiden name for the credits that night. At the end, she chooses her maiden name. In actuality, she used Michaels. What is the point in that? Why have people walk away thinking and saying that’s what happened when it didn’t? It’s pointless. Expect more.

[@JohnSmith-i3z8v]

@@Hai_Lello So films should be 100 percent accurate or it shouldn’t be made? Thank god you’re not calling the shots in any filmmaking position. If I wanted that, I’d watch a documentary or read a book, not a narrative film. Plus, I think I’ll take Dan Aykroyd’s word over yours regarding the film’s accuracy.

[@Pwilly07]

​@@Hai_Lello bro you're crazy if you think a real life story is gonna perfectly follow a 3 act structure with rising action and a climax. You can't be 100% accurate in a movie cuz it would fucking suck

[@claudiocorleone7856]

I am sorry but you can make them ‘’accurate’’ and still be entertaining. Any art form that is not authentic is a ……..fake.

[@eddierascalhaskell4954]

Translation: The book 'Live from New York' has the details from the people who were there and helps as a companion piece to this film if gaps need to be filled, and well worth the read.

[@PhuccjooMann]

The casting director knocked it out the park with this one!

[@philippemorin7634]

WOW! Crackling with energy and you get to be a fly on the wall and see it all. I love the long take style

[@WarlordRising]

I can't imagine an environment more electric than being in the same building as John Belushi on a cocaine binge. It took SNL 11 years to replace that energy. That's when they signed on Chris Farley.

[@WalterHull-dj6qk]

The doomed are hilarious.

[@EliasWolf77]

Looks phenomenal, huge SNL fan, I auditioned as Belushi but didn't get it, oh well, I'll still check it out looks fantastic

[@Freddie.Colton]

You never know, they might call you back!

[@RachaelMortician]

I also auditioned, but as Gilda! The roles that are meant for us will come back! On to the next :)

[@ramirezproductions0826]

That movie was freaking incredible in every way possible. Practically EVERYONE in the cast was ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL; with my favorite ones being Gabriel Labelle, Dylan O’Brien, Ella Hunt, Cory Micheal Smith, Nicholas Podany, Andrew Barth Feldman and Lamorne Morris. I swear, if this movie doesn’t win an Oscar, I’m definitely gonna lose my mind! 😊

[@Dellaluna13]

So excited for this! I like many of Reitman’s films and am a big fan of SNL’s history.

[@streetrat48]

People calling this inaccurate, I'm pretty sure I'll take the words of the creator of the show who is still alive to give insight for the film over random internet people lmao

[@thefilmseeker]

Sure, because the people involved would never want to fudge up the facts in order to make themselves look better or anything like that... Not that historical accuracy is what makes a movie good or bad, but this is a dumb point to bring up in its favour.

This film was really good. The cast, direction, the frantic pacing was all top notch.

[@live2groove]

I gotta say, if anyone nailed their character, it was the guy playing Billy Crystal.

[@jeffwachtman588]

That Billy Crystal was spot on

[@sammoony9687]

[@mayam7752]

Haha, wow, I never even heard of this. The impressions are pretty good!

[@archangel1of7]

This was in and out of my local theater so fast that I didn't get into get to see it in time. I was and still am very excited about it though. Hopefully it comes to peacock soon

[@likecrazyhorse]

That back-and-forth in the elevator could just be a wide shot and have the same if not more tension without making me want to vomit.

Michael O Donahue is such a legend. Doesn’t get enough praise. I’m so happy the clip ended with him.

[@randolphveale9198]

[@dinarahm8589]

I just felt transported back in time which I was not expecting. Cant wait to watch

[@CringeMaster-jt1el]

I wish more people would talk about this movie :(

[@hmtechsvc]

I think it's a POS movie about a POS show that embraces a bias that promotes the absurd idea that there's more than two genders. I will be glad (likely one day soon) when the show is finally cancelled. Happier now? I am... have a nice day.

[@lisacraze1]

I'm glad you posted this. I was a kid when I watched the first episode, live in my basement with my mom. I was absolutely glued to the TV. Never seen anything like it and I didn't miss an episode for years. So, where can I rent this?

[@arcadeoutpost]

Great movie, everyone did such a great job

[@annrodriguez2891]

Greg from Succession as Andy Kaufman..❤❤❤

[@jondoe8889]

My wife and I (25) watched the first show, and were mystified! I don't think we laughed once. My older brother called the next day and asked my opinion. He was also questioning what he saw. I thought I was pretty funny and hip, but this??? By the 3rd week, we were getting the concept. I guess we weren't used to this kind of humor. Quickly, it was on-demand viewing for us. Now 75, I've gone back to watching it, with the political opening. But not live. I watch Weekend Update. The skits? Sometimes. The musical guests? Never. And way back then, the show was only on 3 nights a month. The 4rd weekend was another odd show with two people who later found fame. And I'll never forget the interview where Lorne said that the music would be unknowns, like you'd find in NYC. I don't think that ideal lasted very long! But for better or worse - long live SNL!

[@AlexandraLovesActing]

Saw it twice...for the Q & A's only...for that "pal" only...there. I said it 😂.

[@skimaniac86]

Probably an explicit poster. Notice they'd cut out a couple words too. Probably edited it for KZbin

[@trewhite7903]

[@PersonalityOrder]

Already watched it three times. I love it. Although, I didn’t like the Milton Berle scene. I mean, I didn’t enjoy it. I wonder if he was that horrible. I know he was a bad host, but that terrible… it was something else. That’s what makes it a great scene. Doesn’t matter if I enjoyed it or not. It was so real that it made me question everything I thought I knew.

Chevy Chase is never spoken of with anything but contempt. Im sure there is a reason for that. Of course Ive slso heard bad things about Bill Murray. My guess is there was plenty of ego to go around.

[@eddierascalhaskell4954]

The movie lowkey shows how Chevy, already having an ego, was hyped as being possibly the next Johnny Carson; but then humbled in the scene with Milton Berle. Its pretty much his supervillain origin story unfolding.

[@danielchoquette5371]

Why is the actor playing Andy Kaufman doing the Latka voice. He didn’t talk like that in reality.

@@morgandavis6788 I never knew Andy was that tall. His "Foreign man" character looked small. Maybe he stooped? Maybe just an illusion because of his soft voice. I just didn't realize. Thanks for the info.

[@mattbarnett4210]

The problem with most period movies, like this one, trying to replicate the 70s, is that it looks like a modern film trying to look like a 70s film, rather than just being a 70s movie. Look at any 70s movie and just do that.

[@AsterionH]

MadTV > SNL

[@autofocus4556]

Looks mid.

[@spindriftdrinker]

Lots of stale tropes and cliches. "You're my executive assistant". Because the screenwriters feel the audience needs to know that kid in the shirt and tie is young Lorne's assistant. "Hi I'm Batman and the kid in the tights is Robin. That guy over there is the Joker !" Then we need to know that the girl in the makeup chair is Gilda Radner "Gilda ! can you come over here !" Frantic running script girl "Belushi hasn't signed his contract". Camera alights about a dozen times on a guy who looks and dresses just like Andy Kauffman, but they still feel the need to throw in a "Come on Andy!". How bout either trust that we already know who Andy Kaufman is or don't worry so much about whether we do? Next "I'm Al Franken and this is Tom Davis". And Garrett Morris has to say "Garrett don't do voodoo" - because of course he always referred to himself in the third person. How bout trust that fans already know who the only black cast member was ? Imagine if they could hold your interest without the incessant name-dropping? Or just save us these cliches and line up everyone in a row so they can introduce themselves in alphabetical order? Lots of bad acting too.
