Anyway, yes this week we’re partying down with a major comedy from the 90’s, a movie so meta it’s basically one big meta. What’s a meta? Why, it’s where the cows graze, thank you! We’re here all week! Tip your waitresses! “Wayne’s World,” one of only two successful movies based on ANYTHING from Saturday Night Live. Born out of a time when SNL was . . . what’s the word I’m looking for . . . right on the tip of my tongue . . . oh yeah, “funny.” Remember those days? No? Not surprising.

Wow, that joke has just has not aged well. . .

I never got Wayne’s World, on the show nor in the movies. There was no escaping it’s influence though! I did watch a lot of local cable access. I even made a doc about one of the hosts of one who spent a couple hours in a cage one day. Dr Nancy was her name. My sister and I were obsessed over a sewing show called “Sew What’s New!” With this old queen named Patrice that would make the most awful 60s and 70s clothes imaginable!
