Watch Pete Davidson and Gunna take aim at “long-ass” movies on ‘SNL’
Gunna teamed up last night (April 2) for a Saturday Night Live sketch about the unnecessary length of certain movies – watch the clip below.The pair – along with Chris Redd and Simon Rex – collaborated in a sketch titled ‘Short-Ass Movies’ about how movies that exceed runtimes of 100 minutes are not suitable for late night viewing.Taking aim at films such as The Batman, Amadeus, Heat and Once Upon A Time In America for their extended runtimes, Davidson says he can’t handle any more long movies because he’s “a simple man with no attention span”.“Night after night, there’s only one kind of movie I’m always looking for, and that’s a short-ass movie/ A really short movie, like at most an hour 40/ Gimme a short-ass movie,” Davidson raps in the sketch.Gunna, who was this week’s SNL musical guest, shares Davidson’s distaste for lengthy films, joining the sketch to list off a number of shorter features he prefers: The Lion King, Bad Moms and “all three Austin Powers” films.Elsewhere in the sketch, Davidson reveals that he “pissed himself twice” while watching The Batman because “it was longer than The Hobbit“, and Simon Rex (aka “Dirt Nasty” in the music world) celebrates the short runtime of eight Ernest movies and how “a true thing of beauty is the three-minute short before every Pixar movie”.Davidson also jokes about the runtime of his own movie, The King Of Staten Island, which has a runtime of 2hr 17mins.

I really needed the money."But I'll be on food stamps before I do that."Following his decision to not take the money, Mr Rex said he received a letter from Meghan thanking him for turning down the offer.It is unknown how Meghan found out about the offers or if Mr Rex told her himself.Mr Rex added that the letter is now framed and kept at his home in Joshua Tree, California.He added: "She said: 'It's nice to know there are still good people’.” Meanwhile, Prince Harry has said he will not return to the UK this month for the memorial service of his grandfather Prince Philip as he continues his legal battle with the Home Office over police protection.
