I don't really agree with this I mean people still watch Stranger Things and know about big movies coming up. I get the point and slightly agree but I still think there are touchstones that are impacting people like even Avatar 2 and any of the marvel movies
Lol same here. First thing I did was Google it, hoping it hadn't been that long. But with the amount of tv I watch I still felt old, having trouble thinking of 5 semi recent movies.
One thing this sketch really nails is how we've entered an era where, there being so many streaming platforms putting out content, people don't all see the same movies or shows anymore. Kids are going to have different childhoods just because they're not all watching the same channels!
I feel like tv shows have replaced movies now a days in terms of being the cultural focus. If this sketch had been about TV shows i feel like a lot more people would know the answers
@@lucydonohue4919 Yeah, the big watched-by-many tv shows tend to be way more similar, and people don't really watch movies anymore. I know at least from my experience that barely anyone talks about what movies they watched now, it's way more about tv shows.
Harrison Ford was everyone's cranky uncle when he was young. "Great, kid! Don't get cocky." His roles in the reboots of Star Wars and Blade Runner have cemented him into that cranky but loveable grandfather position.
I think he's the next Mandy Patinkin, except not reportedly difficult to work with. That may just be because I would slap a nun to get The Princess Bride remade with Pedro as The Spaniard.

@monilein3302 - Quit watching cable ... And pick 2-3 of the big movie/tv streaming services. You'll pay less and still get a lot of the good stuff! : )
This sketch is SO on point. Everybody remembers the finale of MASH and All About Eve, but we don't share those experiences as a society anymore. Not when there's hundreds of streaming choices on dozens of platforms anybody can watch anytime. Everything is so diffused. Probably the last shared experience America had was how much we all hated the movie version of "Cats."
As someone who remembers when MASH episodes were still coming out…this one made me laugh so hard it hurt. Maybe it just hurt. They nailed this one. This sketch wasn’t just about Hollywood, or entertainment. It used them with painful precision to represent something many of us are feeling, which may not be clearly put into words until enough time has passed that it has become our history, but, this sketch is close to being the haiku version of that history. Hilarious! And, ouch.
I recently ran out of shows and I'd heard that Sam Jackson was in something and I googled "new Sam Jackson movie or TV show" to find it. What's worse is I just binged it and still didn't know the Ptitle
@@dreamquesttv Yep, she's been acting in film and television since 2005. She was in such films as Oblivion (opposite Tom Cruise), Birdman (which won four Oscars), and Nocturnal Animals (which was also Oscar nominated) and played the title role in Mandy (opposite Nicholas Cage).
OMG this sketch is so on point. The variety of platforms the mix of movies from traditional and TV sources or originals from streaming services is overwhelming. I can binge a series, watch a couple of new theater released and made for streaming platform movies, and first season new series and yet can not answer what did you watch this week?
I laughed so hard 💀Yeah, although her performance was good, the way she got nominated was actually kinda whack: Despite "To Leslie" being a small independent film that only made $27,322 during its run, the director's well-connected wife, Frances Fisher, rallied her A-list friends, mainly rich white actresses, to vote for Andrea Riseborough at the last hour of Oscar nomination voting. Even sadder, someone from Andrea's campaign consistently described Danielle Deadwyler [Till] (another unknown actress) and Viola Davis [The Woman King] as nomination 'lock ins' even though they clearly weren't. It was so high school and reeked of 'women who brunch'. What's even more eye-rolling is that it seems like this shady campaign strategy has always happened behind closed doors, but because it was done openly, the Academy is publically clutching their pearls, acting like this hasn't happened in the past and to a much greater degree with Harvey Weinstein.

@@phatdog45 Pretty much. Streaming services advertise their own shows mostly, and the places you used to get ads for movies, tv and cinemas, are mostly dying. Heck, pre-covid, I used to semi-regularly check out what movies were coming out in theatres. But now? Nah.

I rewatched Juno the other day and instantly remembered seeing and debating so many of the movies that came out that year (No Country for Old Men, There Will Be Blood, Dark Knight, Sweeney Todd, Ratatouille) and then when this year’s nominees were announced, I had only seen Maverick of the best picture nominees and everything else was I meant to see that but didn’t or I don’t know if I I know that one. Life comes at you fast.
Not only all of that, but movies and shows come out so fast now, movies straight to streaming, and there’s a ton of different shows to watch on so many platforms. Just too much! lol

That last speedround would have also been funny if Pedro guessed the same movies from 89 and won. 2 were remade in the 2020s. Batman would have counted. The Little Mermaid is a month too early but is technically 2020 too. His 1st answer, Top Gun, fits the theme too. Originally from 80s, with a sequel in the 2020s.
I'm in my 40's and always wonder if everything is becoming super niche and there's no monoculture, or if I'm just old and don't know what's hip. This sketch leaves me feeling semi-validated.
Tv show wise, yeah there's too many shows to know what's popular. Movie wise, you're just old. It's not difficult to know which movies are popular these days, there's not that many
This kind of reminded me of the Celebrity Jeopardy skits they would do, with Will Ferrell as Alex Trebek. Which made me think that Pedro Pascal would do an amazing Burt Reynolds.
Not only are they real but that actress they didn’t recognize (Andrea) had to be investigated by the academy awards because they too were confused as to how she was even nominated for best actress in the first place since no one’s even heard of her or her movie 😭😂
I love this sketch. But surely I can't be the only person who noticed that Pedro Pascal only named two correct movies in the final round that required him to name three.
@@usagi907 So he could be "like" an argentinian Burt Reynolds. (Given that an 'argentibe Burt Reynolds' would at least kiiiiinda look like the actual Burt Reynolds, as does Pedro )
I feel exactly like these contestants. Couldn't tell you wth is going on these days with "movies," new actors/actresses, new streaming releases. Love d Pedro Pascal in this SNL episode!!
Even the academy awards were confused by Andreas oscar nomination that they had to launch an investigation since no one’s even heard of her or her movie 😂
This hits HARD!!!! We are so oversaturated with crap that I was right there with the contestants! 😆 🤣 😂 I can name 3 movies from the last five years, though, because that's the exact number I went to the theater to see! *Black Panther in 2018. Spider-Man: No Way Home in 2021. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever in 2022.*
Ooh, burn. To the 2020s. But also smartly played in promoting those films! Brilliant. And way to go, Bowen! Wonderful musical singing and hosting voice 😁
As someone who is twenty two, I had almost the exact same answers as them. The first two were easy, but apparently I have no idea what is happening these days.
Pedro consistently saying "Wednesday" as an answer is just hilarious. Great skit.

Tv show wise, yeah there's too many shows to know what's popular. Movie wise, you're just old. It's not difficult to know which movies are popular these days, there's not that many
Pedro Pascal is such a massive fan of Wednesday!
This sketch is so accurate. That’s what makes it great.
Go Pedro ✨
I love when Bowen gets to be the host in any game show. 😄
Its appropriate Pedro answers like a dad would... that's why we call him daddy 😏😏
thats enough
THAT'S why??
Possibly the most brilliant sketch ever. And Bowen nails it as usual!
80 for Brady was what popped into my mind the second before he said it.
Movie looks so shit
This kind of reminded me of the Celebrity Jeopardy skits they would do, with Will Ferrell as Alex Trebek. Which made me think that Pedro Pascal would do an amazing Burt Reynolds.
I had to check if these shows and movies were actually real😂
Not only are they real but that actress they didn’t recognize (Andrea) had to be investigated by the academy awards because they too were confused as to how she was even nominated for best actress in the first place since no one’s even heard of her or her movie 😭😂
And most shockingly, the movie did really earn just over $27000
This sketch is so relatable 😂
bowen was amazing tonight ‼
I love this sketch. But surely I can't be the only person who noticed that Pedro Pascal only named two correct movies in the final round that required him to name three.
As a film buff myself, happy to say I knew the answers to the ‘past’ media questions and the 2020s questions
Good job 👏
feel free to enlighten us with gems we may have missed.
what even is this - and i’m a film buff
Did not know a single 2020 question, but got all the rest 😅
"Career?" 🤣🤣🤣
I love how everyone knew instantly at 2:16 the laughing is priceless😭
Ego Nwodim is so good. She's one of my favorite cast members now.
That was an appropriate reaction to “it’s a podcast”.
A podcast is just a "radio morning show" but online and anyone can make one.
@@johnd5931ye, which is what makes it less impressive
The irony is I had no idea who Pedro was until this episode of SNL. I’ve liked what I see so far, though
Pedro is like an Argentinian Burt Reynolds lol. I love it.
Update: Chilean
He's Chilean lol
@@usagi907 so a _Chilean_ Burt Reynolds. 👍
One of the directors, PP worked with, recounted saying, “Who is that Burt Reynolds guy?” when he first saw him in a film. 😅
Chilean Turd Ferguson, you mean
@@usagi907 So he could be "like" an argentinian Burt Reynolds.
(Given that an 'argentibe Burt Reynolds' would at least kiiiiinda look like the actual Burt Reynolds, as does Pedro )
I feel exactly like these contestants. Couldn't tell you wth is going on these days with "movies," new actors/actresses, new streaming releases. Love d Pedro Pascal in this SNL episode!!
Damn, To Leslie has made just $27,322 as of taping.
It's actually a beautiful little film....
Even the academy awards were confused by Andreas oscar nomination that they had to launch an investigation since no one’s even heard of her or her movie 😂
@@barryallen1070 They will know who she is.
Maybe not this film though.
This hits HARD!!!! We are so oversaturated with crap that I was right there with the contestants! 😆 🤣 😂 I can name 3 movies from the last five years, though, because that's the exact number I went to the theater to see! *Black Panther in 2018. Spider-Man: No Way Home in 2021. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever in 2022.*
They're all Marvel, of course. Those are pretty much the only movies that everyone knows!
This is one of the funniest skits they’ve done in a while. Jon Lovett did a whole bit on To Leslie today. It’s directed by a Breaking Bad creator.
Lovitz.
Where did he do the bit? On his podcast?
No, Breaking Bad creator is Vince Gilligan, Michael Morris directed 5 episodes of Better Call Saul only.
As a gen z myself, I didn’t even know the answer to most of the 2020’s questions 😭
@3:08 that was my exact reaction too
I love Bowen! And Pedro was fantastic in all his skits!
This self-drag with Riseborough lmao 😂 Pedro posted it too, but I bet he hasn't watched it either
I'm in my late 20s and I got the first two questions and I also just guessed 80 for Brady because it's the only movie I could think of 😂
YES PEDRO PASCALLL
Ooh, burn. To the 2020s. But also smartly played in promoting those films! Brilliant. And way to go, Bowen! Wonderful musical singing and hosting voice 😁
As someone who is twenty two, I had almost the exact same answers as them. The first two were easy, but apparently I have no idea what is happening these days.
"Career??👀" KILLED ME 🤣
"Ginny and juice"😄 be-yatch!!!
