They nailed O' Donoghue, he WAS that guy. But I always hated how these movies portray Belushi as a wild animal that required handlers in order to perform. Between this and Wired, he still hasn't been done justice onscreen.
@@ActuallyHoudini I get he was volatile but he didn't end up holding up the show like the movie depicted. There's gotta be a way we can get a grey morality Belushi on screen. Chiklis was amazing but his movie was so bad.
@mrmusickhimself he did hold up filming and for a very a good reason (contract negotiations). he was a wild guy and whilst i agree he wasn't as wild as some portrayels show him to be, he was still wild.
This film shows you the things they do in broadcasting before as well as now with light and other very high quality lighting. In what we see on television.
Interesting. I know someone who went to 12 Step Programs who was not a big Comedian when I first met him. He wasn't very nice to me and I never found him funny at least at the Meetings. I was a lot funnier than he was at Meeting, but I never became a Professional Comeidan. He was not very nice to me. He is now, very, very big, but I wont say who he is. I have to respect the Principle of Anonymity. LIke that old Hebrew National Commercial used to say- I have to answer to a Higher Authority.
@@HoldenNY22why tell the story then? It’s like those people who “whistleblow” on celebrities who they say commit crimes but never name anyone. You’re not believable.
Yeah he was a real misogynist...he didn't want any women in the cast. He's overrated too, I don't understand why people think he was some comedic genius.
Michael O'Donoghue was a notorious savage. To say he invented dark humor might be a stretch but not by much. Vietnamese baby war wounds as childhood keepsakes-- junior's first napalm burn... Everybody was scared of him. Too smart, too quick...except Eddie Murphy. Murphy gave as good as he got and O'Donoghue liked Murphy a great deal. He didn't like most cast members at all. Dennis Miller quipped that when Mike got engaged, he registered with Black and Decker.
M O'D was a boring poser in my opinion. And his "dark" comedy wasn't funny, it was just shock for the sake of it, such as throwing a cat into a swimming pool and videotaping it swimming for its life or hanging a framed portrait of Richard Speck on his office wall.
They failed miserably with both the Radner and Belushi interpretations, yet they nailed Chase and Aykroyd. What were they thinking with Belushi though?
I mean, i think it's interesting to see behind the scenes of what was 1 of the 1st major pop-culture phenomenon, showcasing what all these iconic, beloved personalities were _really_ like, & instead of glorifying them as these larger than life, always _✌🏻on✌🏻_ consummate professional comedic geniuses like Hollywood normally would in a semi-biographical film, this was at-least a (for the most part) honest portrayal... IRL When egos this big clash it makes for drama & chaos that seems like it could never work but somehow it not only worked but launched most of their careers into the stratosphere. Somehow Lorn was able to wrangle them up & put them in-fromt of a camera, & despite most of them being addicts, narcissistists, &/or even dangerously mentally unstable, SNL was 1 of the 1st major pop-culture phenomenon & is still going strong, same general formula, now on its (iirc) 46th season. So yea, it's fascinating & I'm intrigued by the idea of getting to look behind the curtain, whether it's considered _fictional_ or not, there's probably a great deal of realism tying into actual events that took place on set. I think if you grew up watching Chevy Chase, Dan Akroyd, Eddie Murphy, Gilda Radner, Martin Short, Steve Martin, Jim Belushi's (etc.) movies, it's fun to see these young actors attempt to slip into those infamous personalities. Very big shoes to fill, but most of the casts' performances were A+ IMO. In any case, if none of that interests you, then *why* are you here...? 🤷🏼♂️
Are you sure YOU’RE not the one with a TBI? It’s obviously a scene from the new SNL movie based on the events of the start of SNL. Do you understand what a MOVIE is? And that ACTORS play other people in MOVIES and those people are the characters in the movie? Therefore, obviously the title is referring to the CHARACTERS, who yes were real people, the ACTORS are playing, which are Gilda Radner and John Belushi, that’s called a biopic, which is when ACTORS portray REAL PEOPLE but aren’t actually them. Hope this cleared up this extremely simple concept for you.
SNL was always garbage sketchy comedy...this is now vintage garbage for a new generation. The movie made the point that they were making up sketch comedy...but it was very common on tv live shows like snl. Weird that such an old concept was sold as a new thing. The writing on the show was always god horrible from the start and most premises were stolen from real comedians all the time for the show.
"I know what blue balls are"
"You don't say..."
O'Donoghue is a savage.
"I don't know, guys, it was kind of exciting. Probably good luck." Gilda, we lost you too soon.
Ella was amazing
Ackroyd in this scene is 100 IRL Danny with his on-spectrum detail to attention.
They nailed O' Donoghue, he WAS that guy.
But I always hated how these movies portray Belushi as a wild animal that required handlers in order to perform. Between this and Wired, he still hasn't been done justice onscreen.
Agree big time. I definitely recommend the documentary Belushi if you haven’t seen it yet. His wife, Dan, etc were all involved.
in his early career, he was very much like that guy. he mellowed out later on, around the time the blues brothers first debuted in 8H

Belushi's portrayl MAYBE wasn't perfect, but I don't think that Wood's performance was bad.
Dude Matt Woods Looks good as Belushi!!!!❤❤❤❤ did the best job! I've ever seen.
This film shows you the things they do in broadcasting before as well as now with light and other very high quality lighting.
In what we see on television.
That guy has Garrett Morris' speech and mannerisms down
It’s cool seeing Robert Wuhl. I really liked that show Arliss, and I liked him in the first Tim Burton Batman movie.
It's like the Final Destination movies. John and Gilda were still the first two cast members that died anyway.
Holy shit! Robert freaking Whul!
They made Belushi look really violent in this.
Its a realistic reaction, some people get like this when thay are nearly injured or killed, jars people and they dont like it.
@@brandonhall9959 He also attacks Chevy Chase in another scene. They hinted he was sniffing cocaine.
VERY SURPRISING AARON SORKIN HAD NO INVOLVEMENT IN THIS MOVIE.
Did he write that Steve Jobs movie? This reminded me of that in some ways
@@keithmichael112 Yeah he did Steve Jobs, West Wing, Money Ball, and most recently that Lucy and Desi movie with Nicole Kidman.
at 3:37 3:38 akroyd actor looks up anticipating the light fall
I see that he does look up for a second but he knew it was going fall.
If they ever do a “Fridays” biopic, Matt Wood should be Larry David.
Dude sounds exactly like Dan Aykroyd.
Matt Wood would be perfect for a comic accurate Wolverine!
I knew someone who went to high school with Belushi. She said that he was a mean spirited asshole 😢

He also got along with Bill Murray. O'Donoghue co-wrote "Scrooged" with Mitch Glazer.
They do any Vietcong jokes? Those guys were super chill.

The freedom that doesn't exist no more
Looks great 😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Knox?! Is that you?!!
How come every clip I see of him Belushi is an asshole in the film. Yet every interview about him said he was the kindest person. I'm so confused
Jane Curtin didn't have good things to say about him. I guess he was quite the misogynist jerk.
Is that seriously supposed to be Gilda Radner.. 😒
So Gilda is a manic pixie dream girl now?
They failed miserably with both the Radner and Belushi interpretations, yet they nailed Chase and Aykroyd. What were they thinking with Belushi though?
There was only ever one "Bleushi" and any criticism of him (AKA reality) in what he was actually like in those days would be objected to by everyone?
@@Mourtzouphlos240True and I like the Gilda Radner character!
Belushi is not bad - Radner, though, is nothing.
Yeah Cory Smith was surprisingly good as Chevy Chase
The reason Garrett didn't get any lines is because he wasn't funny.
Feel free to let me know when my expectations surpass your ability. Rofl
Does anyone care about this movie?

They made Belushi look like a monster. And Chevy was played like Ted Bundy. This movie is so wacked out
The score to this movie is fucking annoying.
