Can’t Have Nuthin Nice
This past weekend was 7-11’s “bring your own container” promotional event, where for a $1.50 you could fill up your own container with your favorite slurpee flavor(s). Due to what some dumbasses did last year, 7-11 had to change the rules on what type of container you could bring in. This Daily Fail article apparently used Twitter & Instagram photos from last year because just about all of the containers would not fit the 2016 guidelines (the condom one, although gross, was ingenious)…

Sunday Cinema – “The Last Leprechaun”
What I initially thought was a Hallmark or ABC Family Original movie, turned out to be an actual theater-released picture from 2001.
Starring David Warner (of “Waxwork”, “Star Trek V: The Undiscovered Country”, & “Titanic” fame), a pair of siblings travel to Ireland to spend time with their new stepmother. What they find is an evil power-hungry witch that hates anything green. The character has been compared to Disney’s “Cruella Deville”, let us know what you think…

5 Worst
This week MattyV was flying solo due to circumstances beyond the gang’s control. A short one this week, MattyV shares (in no particular order) his list of the 5 worst movies based on Saturday Night Live skits. In short doses these characters tickled America’s funny bone, but taking a one-joke character and trying to expand it into a feature-length movie is challenging. These failed miserably…
1) “It’s Pat” (1994) – I think this was the least-released SNL movie (came out to 33 theaters) and the box office receipts show it. A quick Google search didn’t reveal the budget, but going off a $6 million budget like the next movie on the list – it grossed only 1/100th of that ($60,000)
2) “Stuart Saves His Family” (1995) – Al Franken was a legendary writer on SNL for many years and along with Tom Davis was a great stand-up comedian. This movie was not only based on the sketches, but also the parody book that was released. With a $6 million budget, it grossed a little over $900,000. Ouch.
3) “A Night At The Roxbury” (1998) – Chris Kattan & Will Ferrell are comedic geniuses and seeing the multitude of sketches on SNL, it was almost guaranteed that they would make a great movie together. Wrong, so wrong. But this 90 minute sketch almost doubled its budget by the end of 1998, bring in just a hair over $30 million.
4) “Superstar” (1999) – Molly Shannon was an amazing character actor on SNL with many physically-intensive personas. Mary Catherine Gallagher was one such character. This one shocked me, it brought in over $30 million at the box office (double its budget).
5) “The Ladies Man” (2000) – Tim Meadows lispy character who is a sort-of “love guru” on the hunt for that one woman. Surprisingly it grossed about $2 million more than the budget, so it actually made a little money…
That’s Matty’s list. Are there worse SNL movies that should be on here? Are there ones that you feel shouldn’t be? Tweet us or post it on our Facebook page!

Sunday Cinema – Bonanza’s “Hoss and the Leprechauns”
Was never a huge western fan, so when shows like Bonanza & the like came on television back in the early 1980’s I ended up going outside.
This episode finds Hoss locating a strongbox of gold dust that was buried by “little green men”. The whole town ends up with “leprechaun fever” when a newly-arrived professor affirms the existence of leprechauns.
Hope you enjoy this episode with a nice plate of corned beef & cabbage!

Sunday Cinema – “Leprechaun’s Revenge” aka “Red Clover”
At only a few years old, this original SyFy feature changed names at some point within that time period. A woman accidentally unleashes a crazed leprechaun and unearths her small town’s tainted past.
The only actor of note would be William Devane, a character actor that you may have seen in many films and television shows over the years.
This copy is apparently the original airing of the movie, the title of “Leprechaun’s Revenge” had not changed…

Sunday Cinema – “Kids Incorporated – The Leprechaun Kid”
“Kids Incorporated” was a weekly kid’s show that I guess you could equate to a live-action “Kidz Bop”. The show followed a group of young singers (“Kids Incorporated”) and the wacky adventures they get into while not performing the day’s popular radio hits. A few stars were borne out of the show, Martika (best known for her late-80’s hit, “Toy Soldiers”), Stacy Ferguson, aka “Fergie” of the Black-Eyed Peas, Mario Lopez, Eric Balfour, & Jennifer Love-Hewitt!
This episode revolves around Kid (Rasaan Patterson) & Stacy (Stacy Ferguson) finding a trunk backstage that contains a leprechaun (John Franklin, best known as the child preacher Isaac of “Children of the Corn”) who wishes to become a famous rock & roll star.
Hits from Michael Jackson, Lionel Ritchie, & several other artists make their appearance in this St. Patrick’s Day episode. And no, that isn’t John Franklin singing – it’s Jerry Sharell (“Mickey”) with an altered voice.
Someone posted this episode on YouTube for all of us to enjoy!
