Description

Marina and Madalyn talk about the SNL episode hosted by Amy Poehler on 10/11/25. Some highlights include...

- Why this cold open was so effective. (A CLEAR Unusual Thing, and great specifics to match!)

- The different ways some of the later sketches ran into trouble with justifications.

- A discussion of where that delivering-a-baby-at-the-office sketch ran into some trouble.

- A totally goofy sketch that was the delight of the night!

All in all: a meaty episode to watch from a teaching perspective (and joyful, too!). Great performances, and the stuff that didn't work was reallllly juicy to talk about in terms of craft.
