People love to hate Adam Sandler. Is it fair? Is it just? We don't know yet.

In "They're All Going to Laugh at Him," we watch every single Sandler related movie (in a row, 1 per day) and discuss the artistic merit, the meta-Sandlerverse, and the message behind the movies.

Jess uses her skills and experience as an English teacher to explain the movies through literary critique, particularly through the lens of feminist and queer theory.

Alex laughs when people fall down.

    Spaceman

    Episode Notes
    Jess and Alex travel to the suburbs to catch an early showing of Spaceman. It's an A24 movie. That is pretty wild right? Paul Dano made us cry.

    Alex read the novel its based on.

    Jess didn't live reactions.

    Episode Notes
    Look at that, its a family friendly comedy based on a novel that is generally well done.

    Sorry this is late. I think we might have lost our minds!

    (Note from Alex: I did not add in the part that says the rating, time or genre to the title. What weird AI shit are they doing to me? I will find them and destroy them.)

    and...

    It's a bad movie with Kevin James.

    Weird right wing propaganda about how to be a bad dad. Also a pretty bad football coach.

    Really not good tbh. don't know what else to say.

Top notch

A much deeper dive than the lazy reviews Sandler typically gets with mainstream film critics
