Episode Synopsis

Hey Film Friends! I’m Nick Furman, and this is Furman on Film—your go-to podcast for in-depth movie discussions, sharp critiques, and maybe a metaphor or two that barely hold up.
Today, we’re diving into Jason Reitman’s Saturday Night—a film that attempts to capture the chaos, genius, and ambition behind the very first episode of Saturday Night Live. But does it actually pull it off? Or is it just a hyper-stylized re-enactment that tells us what we already know?
🔹 What We Cover in This Episode:✅ The film’s high-energy style vs. its lack of depth✅ Standout performances that nail the essence of their real-life counterparts✅ Jason Reitman’s direction—ambitious but maybe too polished?✅ Jon Batiste’s amazing score and its impact on the film ✅ The BIG question: Who is this movie actually for?
If you’re an SNL history buff, you might love this one. But if you’re looking for something fresh and revelatory, you may walk away wanting more.
Listen now, and let’s keep the conversation going! Do you think Saturday Night does justice to SNL’s legacy? Drop your thoughts in the comments or hit me up on socials!
