One thing’s for certain: This sketch will give you Saturday Night LIFE. Eww, sorry.
An otherwise rather lackluster episode of SNL featured one immediately standout and introduced us to what we hope is a recurring character.

Heidi Gardner plays teen film critic Bailey Gismert, a popular YouTuber who reviews films on her channel called “Bailey at the Movies.”
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Here, she barely makes it through reviews for The Shape Of Water, Three Billboards, and Call me By Your Name. The end result is so, so random.

RACIST.

Racist? You’re saying they’re racist against Siamese people?

You guys didn’t miss anything! Trust me. The biggest waste of 4 minutes I think I’ve ever seen. Nothing but a whining teenager pulling on her hair. Was no review o “Call me by your name.”

No, it has nothing to do with race since all people in your country are affected, regardless of race. It’s about money, not race. I have Youtube videos excerpted from US shows that are only blocked in the US. I was going to upload this SNL skit to Youtube for you, removing copyright identifiers. Then I watched it. Trust me, it’s not worth your time — or my efforts. I didn’t even crack a smile.

The others are correct. It was a total waste of time. There were no references to the movie other than the title. None of the “jokes” were based on the movie and a mention of Armie Hammer went nowhere. My guess is that only fans of Youtube movie critic, Bailey Gismert, would get anything out of the skit.
If you really must watch the skit, use a VPN to block Youtube from identifying your location. Or use one of these methods

This was, like, so weird.

That was a pathetic attempt at humor! It was below juvenile. I don’t know how Lorne Michaels lets this stuff get on the air. SNL today is nothing but a shadow of itself as compared to the early years. Almost every character on the show now makes me puke. Pitiful, I tell ya . . . just pitiful!
And why did Queerty hype this up as if there would be a comedic review of “Call me . . . “?

But everything is racist today. EVERYTHING. RACIST. And if you deny it…YOU RACIST!!!

This is not a character I want to see again. No review at all, just an actress pretending to be an awkward teen. What’s the point? What’s funny about it?
