325: "Let Your Mom F**k Chevy Chase" - Man Of The House (1995)
Listen now
Description
This week on Saturday Night Jive we're talking about the 1995 family comedy Man Of The House starring SNL alum Chevy Chase.  After a string of flops (see our episodes on Nothing But Trouble and Cops And Robbersons) Chevy didn't want to do another film but eventually agreed to sign on because he liked the dramatic elements of the script.  One could argue that there shouldn't be dramatic elements in the script of a movie that has Chevy Chase and George Wendt doing a rain dance.  This is not the movie we expected.  We were looking forward to a crazy cat and mouse caper with a lot of Chevy falling down and Jonathan Taylor Thomas laying mousetraps all over the floor.  Instead we got a heartfelt family comedy about a kid learning to love his new stepdad with Enya on the soundtrack.  Of course there's a mafia subplot as well and we get Chevy Chase in a Native American headdress.  Should you talk about sex with your mommy?  What are the artistic values of Cirque du Soleil?  Why did George Wendt's character need to be played by a fat guy?  These questions and more on this week's episode of Saturday Night Jive.  Enjoy!
