The Inside Scoop
Saturday Night Live, the iconic comedy show that has been entertaining audiences for over half a century, has a backstory that is just as hilarious as the sketches themselves. The new comedy drama "Saturday Night" takes us behind the scenes to unravel the chaos and comedy that unfolded before the cameras started rolling.
The Characters
The film follows Lorne Michaels, played by Gabriel LaBelle, who not only produces the show but also juggles the egos of comedy legends like John Belushi and Chevy Chase. With sketches piling up and not enough time, Lorne must navigate the challenges of live television while dealing with NBC executives and stoned staff members.
The Laughs
Featuring brilliant cameos and a ticking clock element that adds tension, "Saturday Night" offers more laughs than a recent episode hosted by Timothee Chalamet. The story behind the comedy show proves to be even funnier than the sketches themselves, making this film a must-watch for comedy fans.
Hard Truths
On the flip side, "Hard Truths" presents a character study that delves into the anger and frustrations of a woman named Pansy. Director Mike Leigh's latest film captures the raw emotions and stresses of post-Covid Britain through the lens of a deeply depressed protagonist, offering a stark contrast to the comedy of Saturday Night Live.
Companion: A Bloody Comedy
For those looking for a dark comedy with a twist, "Companion" delivers a bloody good time. With a plot that takes unexpected turns and a hammy performance from Rupert Friend, this film offers plenty of laughs and cartoonish deaths. Director Drew Hancock invites viewers to unplug their brains and enjoy the absurdity of it all.
