Pete Davidson returned to Saturday Night Live on April 2 for a rap video alongside Gunna about loving “short a– movies.” In the comical musical sketch, Davidson complains about the lengthy run times of movies like the nearly three-hour The Batman, starring Robert Pattison, while praising such shorter flicks as Liar Liar and The Evil Dead.
“These days, when I sit down to watch a movie, I can find just about anything in the world. But night after night, there’s only one kind of movie I’m always looking for, and that’s a short a– movie,” Davidson raps while scrolling through Netflix. “A really short movie, like at most an hour, forty.”
The SNL star has been noticeably absent from the NBC sketch comedy show in recent weeks amid online attacks from Kanye West, who now goes by Ye. It’s been reported that Davidson, who is dating the rapper’s ex-wife Kim Kardashian, has missed previous episodes because he’s been busy filming a new movie.
Later in the pre-recorded skit, Davidson is joined by SNL musical guest Gunna, who also prefers films under 100 minutes. “I’m not pushin’ p unless it’s under two hours, like Lion King or Bad Moms or all three Austin Powers,” the Atlanta rapper says, referencing his popular DS4Ever track with Future and Young Thug.
