Imagine if Janet Snakehole from Parks and Recreation took over Aubrey Plaza's body. Well, that's basically what happened on Saturday Night Live. Plaza was hosting with musical guest Sam Smith and while she knocked every single sketch out of the park, it was intriguing to see a character described as a "black widow" appear in the film noir sketch and not have it just be Janet Snakehole from Parks and Recreation back in the flesh.
In the sketch, Plaza's Black Widow is a woman who just likes an older man leading to five dead husbands. Jack Raughley is trying to figure out how this case works when Plaza comes in and she tries to convince him of her innocence, revealing how all her husbands die of natural causes because she marries old men. In the process, she starts to hit on Rally until her mother, played by Sharon Stone, comes in.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Stone was on SNL as part of Smith's performance of the song "Gloria" and while many were confused as to why, it is because Stone appeared in the 1999 film Gloria, a remake of John Cassavetes' 1980 film of the same name. We also were gifted with Plaza recreating Stone's iconic Basic Instinct look for one of her promo pictures. What's more, this was the perfect sketch to include Stone who is a noir icon in her own right.
The sketch also revealed Stone and Plaza as a dynamic duo and honestly, we're not opposed to an entire femme fatale movie franchise with the two as a mother and daughter duo. The sketch also made Stone's inclusion in the Smith performance even more laudable. Perhaps it's time to get Plaza in a film noir.
