I remember watching Saturday Night Live back in the mid  ‘70s.  It was a go to show that you and your crew would make sure not to miss. A 12 pack of beer and a bag of chips and you were ready to settle into comedy like you had never seen before.  That’s why I knew I had to see this new movie, also called Saturday Night Live, that takes a look back at what it was like to be on set with cast and crew.

As I slumped into my seat for a viewing on the big screen, I approached this new film with a mix of nostalgia and skepticism. But what a roller coaster it turned out to be! Fast-paced and packed with energy, it captured the chaos and excitement of what those early days had to be like. The story, set just hours before the first episode was to air live, gave a behind-the-scenes look at the craziness that transpired. Without seeming like cheap imitations, the actors portraying the original cast members were spot-on, from their mannerisms to their delivery. It felt like I was right back in 1975, watching history unfold. Much like the Beetles revolutionized the music world, Saturday Night Live transformed the landscape of late-night television.
