Mixed Nuts & We're Back!
After a long, unexpected hiatus, the GOS duo is back to discuss 1994's Mixed Nuts, the Steve Martin-starring adaptation of a French film called "Santa Claus is a Stinker". Yes, really. We discuss the sentimentality of holiday films, trying to find a steady plot, and what it really means to be a "Golden Retriever Boy". Adam Sandler may be playing his purest role yet in this early 90s Christmas-turned serial killer thriller, that may very well have been filmed in front of a disappointed laughless studio audience.

Zookeeper & A New Low?
We've reached double-digits, baby! Listen as the GOS gruesome twosome recount the events of the Kevin James-led Zookeeper. Not *The* Zookeeper, that's a different movie. An ensemble cast voices a slew of zoo animals in what is basically Paul Blart Goes to the Zoo. Adam Sandler plays a monkey in this movie, and he really wants you to know that he has THUMBS. Joe Rogan, the dung beetle of podcasting is also in this film. Unfortunately, he doesn't play a dung beetle. Connections are made to the Eliza Thornberry-esque trend of people communicating with animals in a common tongue, and worlds within worlds are revealed. Also, RIP Don Rickles, and the giraffe that sacrificed its life for this pile of shit

Bulletproof & Hey, Adam Sandler Was Kinda Hot
Unavoidable bad joke incoming:
THIS TIME BABY, WE'RE BULLETPROOF! We watched 1996's Bulletproof. It was....kind of a movie? It began and ended faster than we could remark on babyfaced Sandler's antics. We're in stereo this time to give you the full GOS experience, like you're there in the video call with us! Micah doesn't love the Wayans Bros., Mackenzie found a bunch of DVDs at a thrift store, and...oh yeah, the movie. It isn't good. Did you want a sweet crime drama featuring the Sandman selling drugs and committing murder? Did you want to see a really sexy physical therapy montage? A car chase through the Arizona..forest(?) perhaps? No? Us either. We have fun here.

Coneheads & Seinfields of Grain
Okay, so we watched 1994's Coneheads. Twice. Technical difficulties plague us yet again, and there's no doubt in our mind that this is the work of the Callahan Institute itself. Special guest Matt Rossi (This is Nothing Podcast, Matty Daddy Vintage) joins us for a conversation that has almost nothing to do with the actual film, Coneheads. Adam Sandler is in it, though! For. One. Scene. A minute and a half of Sandroid exposure is certainly enough for us to speculate on, amongst other topics. Including, but not limited to: "What if Adam Sandler was in a hardcore band, and if so, would that band be BANE?", "Did you have a 'Suit Guy' at your High School?", and most importantly "Why is the Seinfeld universe blending into this film?!". It's no Zohan, but please believe us when we say, we are looking forward to never watching Coneheads (1994) ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever again.
Look out for Matt Rossi's podcast, 'This is Nothing', premiering soon on all podcatchers!

You Don't Mess With the Zohan & Neither Do We
Did you ever wonder what Edward Scissorhands would be like if Edward was a superhuman pervert? Look no further than 2008's You Don't Mess With the Zohan. We can't sugarcoat it, this is the worst film that we have watched for the podcast to date. Listen as Micah & Mackenzie navigate the wildly offensive, bumpy-roaded attempt at a commentary on the Israel-Palestine conflict as best as they can, while connecting several crucial threads. Does this take place in the same world as Jack & Jill, or outside of the rest of the films entirely? Is our protagonist a Child, a Liar, or a...Zohan? Will Trisha Paytas ever give us her purchased outfits from this film for further study? TUNE IN (but don't watch the movie, for the love of all that is holy please do not watch this movie)

Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation & Flubber (from the movie: Flubber)
We have fully gone off the deep end, and are diving in to the half-billion-dollar-grossing animated film, Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation. No, we have not seen either of the prior Hotel Transylvania films. We speculate on the origins of the (by now) classic characters of the film, discuss movie-universe crossovers. Universal meets Lovecraft meets...Flubber? Yes please. Is this a movie within a movie? Why does Van Helsing look like MODOK? This episode is complete and utter nonsense. Please enjoy.
