Saturday Night (2024)

This film has just had a very successful showing at TIFF (Toronto International Film Festival). And it will be in theatres on the 49th anniversary of the very first episode. The action looks crazy, but is far more compulsive viewing that the first 90 minutes show.

Here’s narrative of that very first season:

Here’s the event chart for episode one:

The Cosmic Cross (Sun, Moon, Jupiter, Ascendant) may be the reason it has lasted so long, even though the early episodes weren’t brilliant. And having the Moon in the 7th House (of Open Enemies) may help to explain why John Belushi had an antagonistic relationship with Chevy Chase. Bill Murray ended up replacing Chase in subsequent seasons. (Personally, I never watched Chevy Chase on Saturday Night Live.)

Hmm.
