We dig into the film's 1930s origins, Sandler as traditional Nice Guy, the movie's attitude to excess wealth, how much Steve McQueen's "Widows" slaps, and the box office of Summer 2002.

Lucien and Shane go deep on Noah Baumbach's Wikipedia page "Personal Life" section to dissect his 2010 dramedy starring Ben Stiller and Baumbach's two wives: Jennifer Jason Leigh and Greta Gerwig. Oops! We chat about the work of Dave Franco, Rhys Ifans and - unrelated to this film - Joseph Gordon Levitt, why this movie doesn't quite work and why it's kinda Ben Stiller's fault.
-
Shane and Lucien enter a medically-induced time loop to discuss Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore's amnesiac rom-com 50 First Dates. How depressing is the premise of this movie? How does Rob Schneider's racist performance compare to his others? Is this the platonic ideal of the modern rom-com so many people are crying out for?
-
Lucien and Shane dig into what is arguably Adam Sandler's best comedy ever - 2006's high concept Click, the movie about a universal remote that controls the user's life. We talk about the film's heartbreaking climax, the sincerity of Sandler's tribute to his own father, the chronology of the Fast & Furious movies and the wild box office of Summer 2006.
-
Lucien and Shane are back for the new year to discuss what is perhaps Ben Stiller's most iconic film... and its abysmal sequel. We chat about Will Ferrell's career, the time when Neil Patrick Harris dated Ben Stiller's wife and discovered he was gay, David Bowie and Justin Bieber's cameos in these movies and how Stiller thought it was acceptable to release a film as bad as Zoolander 2 into the world.
-
Lucien and Shane discuss one of Ben Stiller's most successful films, the Farrelly Brothers' hit gross-out comedy There's Something About Mary. We dig into Cameron Diaz's wild career, the time Lucien met Matt Dillon in New York, and how this movie influenced the next decade of US comedies.
-
Lucien and Shane discuss the worst Adam Sandler film we'll ever discuss... 2000's son of Satan comedy Little Nicky, a film that can only be described as Extremely Ugly in every sense. We dig into why Patricia Arquette would possibly have agreed to be in this movie, the weird early 00s Kevin Smith/South Park influence, the film's Gameboy tie-in and whether this was Sandler's biggest blank check bounce ever.
-

-
Shane and Lucien are joined by long-time friends and podcast collaborators Eoghan and Michael to discuss one of the most iconic and controversial movies we'll ever cover... 2008's TROPIC THUNDER, directed by and starring Ben Stiller! We dig into Robert Downey Jr, Tom Cruise, Jay Baruchel and Matthew McConaughey's careers before and after this movie, how its provocative/offensive elements have aged, and whether it's actually a pretty boring war comedy underneath the all meta meme stuff.
-
Turn up the Kangaroo Song cause it's Big Daddy time! We dive into one of Sandler's best early comedies, the influence of Friends on it, Jon Stewart's role in pop culture, and the different UK and US voice casts for 2005's The Magic Roundabout (thanks, Weinstein!).
-
What's sadder than being the last mimzy? Well, losing your wife and kids in 9/11, of course, which provides the setup for the utterly miserable 2007 drama Reign Over Me starring Adam Sandler and Dan Cheadle. Turn up the Springsteen, it's time to get... super depressed!
