SNL: Coneheads (1993)

ATH Presents: Behind the Hype

Greetings Earthlings. We come to you from the planet Remulak to provide mass quantities of discourse around the film known as Coneheads, starring Dan Aykroyd, Jane Curtin, and a myriad of fun SNL cameos. It's a movie that's held up remarkably well, and has in fact gotten better as the years have progressed. There's an earnestness to the absurdity that becomes endearing and it's hard not to fall in love with this picture as you watch it. Can you believe that people didn't care for this movie when it came out? We're a bit surprised, too.

For our Where Have They Been Doing segment we go back and watch a few of the original Conehead sketches to get a sense of the movie's origins, and we gotta say that the movie did a great job adapting to the big screen.
