B Movies Blog

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping the work of Steve Martin into the ol’ VCR. 

Steve Martin was a staple in my household. From Father of the Bride to Three Amigos, I grew up with his comedy and his movies. 

Now, before we go any further, I’m going to give a disclaimer. I am FULLY aware that some of his jokes/work didn’t age well and is racist/sexist. I don’t condone it at all. 

I digress. 

Steve Martin has continued to be a big part of my life through works like Only Murders in the Building, the Cheaper by the Dozen remakes, and his guest spot in Oh, Hello Broadway, the Too Much Tuna special.

I don’t know what it is about Steve, but I really enjoy all of his work. 

Much like Robert Rodriguez, it would be impossible for me to sit here and choose my favorite Steve Martin movies. 

Father of the Bride and Father of the Bride 2 hold warm and fuzzy childhood memories for me.

I watched The Jerk, The Man with Two Brains, and Three Amigos! alongside the likes of Young Frankenstein and Monty Python and the Holy Grail in my adolescence. 

His episode of 30 Rock is one of my all-time faves. 

I even have his and Bernadette Peters’ duet of “Tonight You Belong To Me” from The Jerk on a couple of playlists.

Call it nostalgia or being a creature of habit, but Steve Martin is just a comfort celebrity for me. 

Unless he gets canceled.
