Garth’s severed-hand project is confusing and unfunny to one viewer; the defense links it to his mad-scientist and satellite skills.

Young metal fans having coffee and donuts instead of alcohol before a concert feels implausible.
The absence of visible marijuana surprises viewers who assumed they were stoners; leaving it implicit may be more charming.
Firing the host in the middle of a live show after one segment is implausible; the show would finish first.

Loved it despite missing references; Garth less effective

In the discussion (5)

Approx. transcript time · 01:39:09Read transcript

The first-time movie viewer enjoys its ambition, likable cast and Myers’s charm despite missing many references; datedness becomes part of its appeal.
Unexpectedly intellectual jokes such as Alice Cooper’s speech are favorites, compared with an Aerosmith sketch about communism.
Garth is the dissent: stronger in short sketches and insufficiently competent across a film. The hosts defend his abandoned-show Not joke.
Wayne’s World is preferred to Blues Brothers, which felt bloated and quieter on first viewing but funnier in discussion.
The Laverne and Shirley reference was unrecognized but still respected.
