Get set to crack up as we take you on a tour of the hilarious yet underappreciated "Popstar: Never Stop, Never Stopping." Our affection for The Lonely Island goes way back, and it’s time to celebrate Andy Samberg and his crew’s masterpiece that didn’t get the love it deserved at the box office. We'll reminisce about their SNL antics, viral hits, and spill some little-known facts, like how they managed to film concert scenes at actual One Direction gigs. If you've ever had to stifle a laugh in public thanks to "Jizz in My Pants" or "I'm on a Boat," this episode will resonate with your funny bone.
Strap yourselves in for a musical mockumentary that hits every comedic note perfectly. From the laugh-inducing "Donkey Roll" to the spot-on satire of the music biz, our chat is a tribute to the film's humorous take on boy band phenomena and the ridiculousness of Andy Samberg's Connor. We’ll also highlight SNL’s current comedy keepers, "Please Don't Destroy," and debate whether "Popstar" could be the ultimate compatibility test for your partner's humor. The spotlight is on the Style Boyz' tumultuous relationship and the absurdly catchy music that The Lonely Island is known for, making this chapter a vibrant blend of SNL skit breakdowns and musical mockumentary magic.
Wrap up your headphones and prepare for laughter as we touch on the outlandish aspects of celebrity culture. Experience Connor's cringe-worthy yet hilarious marketing stunts gone wrong, his publicity-driven relationship, and the star-studded cameos, including Emma Stone’s delightful turn. Plus, don't miss the hysterical CMZ segment where Mike Birbiglia, Chelsea Peretti, and a slew of other comedians offer a satirical skewering of fame. We're here to share the comedic chaos from Connor's bee debacle to the endearing antics of Zippy the cameraman - this episode is a laugh track you won't want to miss!
