As a gamer who’s lived through decades of pop culture and witnessed the rise and fall of countless entertainment juggernauts, I must say that the upcoming movie “Saturday Night” has piqued my interest significantly. The poster alone evokes a sense of nostalgia for the golden age of television comedy, a time when Saturday Night Live first burst onto our screens and changed the game forever.
A freshly unveiled poster for this coming Saturday’s event evokes the vibrant essence of Saturday Night Live’s debut in the 1970s, almost half a century later.
You can check out the poster below, which features the cast in caricature form.
