I’ve been listening to this show for several years, and it’s now the only SNL podcast that I listen to. One thing that I’ve noticed though is that John ends up disliking some sketches because he is oblivious to a lot of pop culture references, even ones that are decades old. Also, Darin often changes or softens his opinion on sketches based on what John says. Overall, I really like this podcast because the hosts know a lot about SNL, and they make each episode a lot of fun.
Very much appreciate the effort these hosts put in. Very enjoyable listen
The hosts cannot help themselves, and make stupid political quips that distract from the podcast.
I disagree with a lot of their opinions/taste, and one of the dudes seems like he doesn’t even want to be there… but quality SNL pods with hosts who are actual, knowledgeable fans are hard to come by. So I keep coming back.
Tapping out. Can’t take an hour plus of non stop starting every sentence with “yeah I mean, yeah yeah, I mean, yeah I mean, I mean...I mean, yeah no, yeah I mean, yeah no, yeah I mean, I mean, yeah yeah, I mean”. UPDATE 10/4/22, thought I’d give the podcast another chance with the SNL (train-wreck) season premiere. Nope. These 2 still can’t speak a sentence without an “I mean” (106 times this ep) or a “yeah”. Typical sentence… “Yeah no, I mean yeah it wasn’t a great sketch. I mean it had its mom... more

Two New Jersey–based hosts dissect Saturday Night Live through episode-by-episode breakdowns, live reactions, and thoughtful critique. Across recent seasons they weigh cold opens, monologues, sketches, and guest appearances, often weaving in behind-the-scenes trivia and broader pop-culture context. The show tends to favor sharp analysis, long-form discussion of pacing and writing, and a warm, bantering chemistry between the hosts. Noteworthy is the mix of nostalgia with current-season commentary, along with occasional guests from the SNL ecosystem and related entertainment spheres that add authoritative perspective to the conversation.
