Early Access - Watching Every Adam Sandler Movie
Added 2024-08-30 01:54:45 +0000 UTCHey everyone, here's a special unplanned episode that we decided to put together. For some insane reason, I ended up watching a whopping 16 Adam Sandler movies this past month (all Happy Madison flicks). Ryan joins me for a special discussion as I rank them from worst to best. Ryan also watched Uncut Gems for the first time and we talk about that as well.
I will be continuing my pilgrimage and finish the remaining Sandler films next month so stay tuned for that. Let us know if you'd like to see more ranking episodes like this and be sure to tell us your favorite Sandler movies in the comments!

A lot memories while listening to this one. I remember seeing Billy Madison in the theater for a friend’s birthday party, and those (not-safe-for-SNL) comedy albums are somewhat legendary. The Wedding Singer is hands-down my favorite, but I’m realizing that I haven’t seen MOST Sandler-starring vehicles. Airheads deserves its own episode. I was definitely going to recommend it at some point. I don’t really consider it a “Sandler movie.” Good double-feature with Wayne’s World. I really liked the format of this episode. Perhaps try this again with Police Academy. I’ve always been a fan (outside of the 7th film). Admittedly, there’s a big nostalgia factor there.

2024-09-08 04:34:27 +0000 UTCGoing to watch Punch Drunk Love to find out why it’s one of the 52 1/2 films in Ryan’s Top Ten. It’s on Criterion streaming.

2024-09-01 22:24:39 +0000 UTCI’m pretty sure Josh Gad is backed by Disney and that’s why he’s so connected snd “in.” And to the ‘funny fat guy’ point, the only other mainstream one (I can think of) for a while was James Corden and he seems way more polarizing. Now there’s the guy on The Bear and the guy that’s going to play Chris Farley for a little more variety.

2024-09-01 11:22:02 +0000 UTCI don’t know if it’s just the sort of stuff Steve and I gravitate toward or what but Blake Clark seems to pop up everywhere. He’s also the current voice of Slinky in Toy Story! As a former ‘punk girl’ I have a soft spot for Little Nicky. It’s dumb as hell but my gang of friends and I watched it a lot the summer after it came out. Also, to the ‘why is he bagging bombshells’ point: Patricia Arquette is beautiful but she’s a good ‘believable beauty’ for Sandler IMO. There’s also a lot of decent makeup in Little Nicky. Some of the special effects are rough but at least they’ve got the makeup going for ‘em. (One last Little Nicky thing: Recently we were watching old SNL and there’s this music reviewer character Sandler did on Weekend Update that we’re pretty sure is the origin for the Little Nicky voice. So if you can’t get enough (🤭) look up Gil Graham.)

2024-09-01 11:06:08 +0000 UTCYea, why is that fat hog employed? Definitely one of those cases where if he was a gentile, we'd have never heard of him

2024-08-31 17:54:58 +0000 UTCGod, I hate Adam Sandler. And Uncut Gems is just another annoying trope of the gambling addict. Where you are forced to sit there and watch somebody self destruct and cant wrap your brain around their addiction. The other thing about Uncut Gems, I could barely stand how ugly most of the people in that film were. Not to sound antisemitic, but half those actors looked like caricatures you'd see on some antisemitic nazi poster in the 1930's.
Louie Caponecchia
2024-08-31 17:52:09 +0000 UTCCritically analyzing Adam Sandler's ouvre seems similar to like those people who go to 50 Chili's in 50 days on youtube. It may be strangely interesting, but also why? Why do you want to do dat?
Thomas Bishop
2024-08-30 22:52:06 +0000 UTCEven if you don’t do all the Happy Madison films that Sandler didn’t star in at least watch DEUCE BIGELOW: EUROPEAN GIGOLO. Not good as a movie but the scene of Norm at the Gigolo Union meeting is one of the funnier things you will see in life.

2024-08-30 22:42:46 +0000 UTCThat one backwoods guy from Sandler’s crew was good as the fella trying to “date” Uma Thurman in KILL BILL.

2024-08-30 19:41:25 +0000 UTCFun fact about Big Daddy, one of my childhood favorite sitcoms, Suite Life of Zack and Cody, the kid in Big Daddy is played by the same actors of Zack and Cody

2024-08-30 06:45:36 +0000 UTCI will say the other comedy Sandler movie I love is anger management because of Nicholson

2024-08-30 04:04:37 +0000 UTCArnold was one of my action heroes growing up alsoBruce Willis rewatched Die Hard 3 would be good to do a retrospective on Bruce Willis (sad what happened to him he has dementia I believe)

Lux Anatis
2024-08-30 02:24:28 +0000 UTCBilly Madison is a mediocre movie that has great scenes and payoffs
Luke Gordnier
2024-08-30 02:18:22 +0000 UTCIn terms of Sandler: happy gillmore is his best comedy movie and Punch Drunk Love is his best drama
Luke Gordnier
2024-08-30 02:17:57 +0000 UTCSpeaking of no such thing as a bad movie, I’m excited to see Joe talk about nothing but trouble at some point on that pod.
