'Saturday Night' and the Excitement of the New

Plus: Are influencers the new A-Listers?
2

On this week’s episode, Sonny Bunch (The Bulwark), Alyssa Rosenberg (The Washington Post), and Peter Suderman (Reason) ask if social media influencers are the new Hollywood A-Listers. (Spoiler: they’re not. They’re something older and potentially much lamer but also maybe more interesting.) Then they review Saturday Night, a movie that revels in the excitement of The New. Make sure to swing by Bulwark+ for a bonus episode on SNL movies! And if you enjoyed this episode, share it with a friend.

None of these Tik Tok, Twitch, or Tube, You, twerps can open a film. The Not Ready For Time Time Players might’ve been young, but a lot of them could open a film. They ended up defining culture for decades.

They had cross over cultural appeal. The same can’t be said for even Mr. Beast. Speaking of Mr. Beast, my now 17 year-old nephew says he has fallen out of favor.
