As a flimsy tie-in to the Netflix movie “A Futile and Stupid Gesture” about Doug Kenney, co-founder of National Lampoon, Jacques and Joe seize the opportunity to butcher their favorite skits from the National Lampoon Radio Hour, which aired in the years just before the debut of Saturday Night Live and served as a launching pad for many of its writers and performers. (How’s THAT for a run-on sentence?)
Chevy Chase, John Belushi, Bill Murray, Gilda Radner, Christopher Guest: all are shamefully impersonated and misquoted in this giddy, self-indulgent, unfunny look back on a cult comedy-nerd classic!

Biff tries—TRIES—to educate Jacques and Joe about his native country of Japan and its culture, answering all their dumb, burning questions: What is J-pop? Is baseball more popular there than sumo wrestling? Could Godzilla beat up a Transformer? And what’s with the used-underwear vending machines?

To celebrate… no, honor… no… just because there’s a new Star Wars movie and it’s the holidays, Jacques and Joe get into the Star Wars Holiday Special, the infamous 1978 sin against the gods. Han, Chewy, Luke, Leia, R2-D2, C-3PO, Vader, they’re all here! Sort of. Add the likes of Chewy’s family (Mala, Lumpy, and Itchy), Beatrice Arthur, Art Carney, and Harvey Korman, and that’s still not enough! Musical guests Diahann Carroll, Jefferson Starship, and… yes, Bea Arthur, round out the fun. Plus that crappy Boba Fett cartoon. Now you got a Life Day you wish you could forget!
