Stockholm Cinema Podcast

This week Spencer & Zach get touched by Adam Sandler in the moving family comedy Big Daddy! How convenient are all these plot points? Why don't we get more Jon Stewart in this movie? Who is the superior Sprouse? Join us as we watch the film that elevated Sandler to a full blown New York icon!

While this is our week off, in honour of #internationalpodcastday, we're taking the opportunity to reupload our long lost (thanks SoundCloud) first episode, Going Overboard!  Did Adam Sandler think anyone would ever see this movie? How much of this budget was blown on tomato juice? How bad do you feel for Billy Bob Thornton while watching this? This film is truly out to sea.

This week, we get bored on the bayou with special guest Jordan Stovra and the 1998 football comedy The Waterboy! Could another actor have saved this premise? Can one single player save a whole sports team? Can Spencer & Zach come to terms with reality vs. nostalgia? Tune in to hear our medulla oblongatas take over as we sack this Cajun nightmare of a film! 

This week, in (partial?) honour of Adam Sandler's 50th birthday, we check out 1998's The Wedding Singer! Does Sandler work as a romantic lead? Where does this land on the spectrum? Can Allen Covert give it up already? Tune in to hear our take on the movie that earned Adam Sandler a non-nomination for a Razzie Award!

This week, we go overboard with the 1996 action-comedy Bulletproof! Did anyone have high hopes for this movie? Would Sandler even stand to be billed as co-star in a film after this? Is flying an airplane hard? All this and more in our angriest episode yet!    You can find us on iTunes, Libsyn, Stitcher, and Google Play; ratings and reviews are appreciated wherever we can get them!

This week we tee up with 1996's Happy Gilmore! How did Adam Sandler up his game so dramatically from one film to another? Does product placement ever get more egregious? Who'd win in a fight, Bob Barker or an alligator? Join us in an exploration of the Adam Sandler movie even your parents find funny!

This week we laugh and yell and talk for entirely too long about the 1995 classic Billy Madison! How do any of the characters get on board with the plot of this movie? Has Adam Sandler ever actually had a real conversation with a woman in his life? Is conditioner better? All these questions answered, plus a surprise guest appearance by an ACTUAL CAST MEMBER (no bullshit)! Editor's note: After listening to this episode back we've learned our lesson about not hitting the table — we promise.

This week we rock out after breakfast with special guest Skot Hamilton and 1994's Airheads! Did the screenwriter know the difference between metal and grunge music? What is up with the pseudo-commentary on race relations in this movie? How does Zach forget so much of the plot of a movie he watched three times in the last week? Spencer & Zach would like to thank Davis Baker for production aid.
