Review:

A busy and thoroughly stacked film, if you were ever wondering how crazy producing an episode of SNL could be, look no further. Attempting to show a behind-the-scenes biopic, Saturday Night takes its viewers through the first Saturday Night Live episode, all with the chaos and mayhem that went on behind it. With a cast that has heavy amounts of friction amongst themselves, panic attacks, censor boards and a general air of discouragement from executives, the film is equal parts hilarious and anxiety-inducing. A thrilling ride with a hilarious cast (Succession’s Nicholas Braun plays a double role), prepare yourself for a thoroughly entertaining experience.
