Stockholm Cinema Podcast

This week we cooled our heels and took a break from recording in order to bring you the second half of our Funny People discussion with Dan and Kyle from The Second Viewing! This is basically an entire episode of closing thoughts so we probably actually talk about the movie on this half. Thanks again to the lads for coming on and we hope you enjoy!

This week on Hey, Let's Adapt That, we discuss a current TV phenomenon and pay a spoilerific visit to the town known as #Riverdale! Is this show too steamy to be about everyone's favourite pals 'n' gals? Has Luke Perry aged well? Has one season of this program single-handedly revived a septuagenarian franchise? Join us at the Chock'lit Shoppe to hear our thoughts!

Time flies when you're not discussing Funny People! This week we got chatty with our pals and brothers in podcasting, Kyle and Dan from The Second Viewing. And boy did we have a time. Is this an important film compared to the rest of Sandler's filmography or is it just another time up at bat? How much of this is meant to actually be autobiographical and how much are we overly reading into it? What's that movie where Aziz Ansari is the voice of a slug? In the first half of this special two-part episode we also discuss Drillbit Taylor, Beverly Hills Chihuahua, Iron Man 2, 50 Shades Darker and more! Join us for part two of this discussion on June 8th!

This week we discuss the 2002 film Scooby-Doo! Jinkies. How does a film based on such timeless source material seem so dated already? Will Pam Anderson show up in any other kids movies we discuss? Fuck, marry, kill: Scooby-Doo, Scooby-Dum, Scrappy-Doo? Join us as we talk trash about the celebrities our older cousins all had crushes on!

This week Spencer explains the entire plot of 2008's Bedtime Stories because Zach can't remember it. Is this actually a film for children? Are we finally realizing why people say Adam Sandler isn't funny anymore? Is there any justification for anything that happens in this? Join us as we huff and puff our way through the only Disney-Happy Madison co-production known to man!

This week on Hey, Let's Adapt That, we grab some 'za with the live-action TMNT movies! Do either of these movies do justice to the cartoons? In which iteration do the turtles look creepier? What does Will Arnett bring to the table? Join us as we catch a wave with everyone's favourite renaissance shellheads!

This week, in honour of Adam Sandler's latest Netflix release, we skip chronology to talk about 2017's Sandy Wexler! Is this Sandler's funniest movie in years? Does this film address all of our complaints about his career? Did Pauly Shore get paid to be in this? Join us as we gush about the Sandman's latest project!

This week, on the first episode of Hey Let's Adapt That, we get rock hard discussing the Flintstones cinematic universe. Do either of these movies contribute anything to the world of film? Did Steven Spielrock jump ship after the first film? Whatever happened to these sets? Join us as we launch our new show with vigour! Major thanks to Braden Bessel for the delightful show music.

This week, in honour (shame?) of our 20th episode, we speak negatively of the positively wretched Happy Madison production Strange Wilderness! Has anyone in this movie been in anything worse? Does Steve Zahn pull off leading man duties? Is this sporadically funny or utterly devoid of laughs? Join us as we discuss a film David Spade almost certainly declined to star in! Editor's Note: Apologies for some additional background noise on this one. We hope you still enjoy the episode as much as we did.

This week we pivot to everything from the Addams Family to punk rock to avoid talking about 2008's You Don't Mess With the Zohan! Is this film less politically correct than Chuck & Larry? Who exactly is "he who must not be named?" Why is an Adam Sandler movie trying to get all political on us? Join us as we accidentally but inevitably offend someone while trying to daintily handle this subject matter!

This week we cringe too hard to be funny with 2007's I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry! How does Sandler manage not to kiss a man in this movie? Why couldn't the Kevin James part be played by literally anyone else? Has anyone involved in this movie ever even met a gay person OR a lawyer? Join us as we sound off like disappointed parents about one of the worst films we've sat through yet! We'd also like to thank Paige Sutherland for the brand spanking new show logo.

This week we got the funk and crack each other up with 2006's Click! Is this Sandler at his best or simply a minor recovery after a string of flops? Does this count as a genuinely moving film? What the hell is going on with Christopher Walken? Join us as we fast forward through one of Sandler's most fiercely contested titles! We'd like to thank Davis Baker of The East for providing our brand new big shiny theme tune. You can hear and learn more about The East at https://www.facebook.com/TheEastSaskatoon/

This week we tackle 2005's The Longest Yard with the help of special returning guest Jordan Stovra! How dare they do Chris Rock like this? Is this even supposed to be considered a comedy? How much of this sidetracked mess of an episode hit the cutting room floor? Join us as we wave goodbye to the Peter Segal years of Sandler!

This week we Spam out on 2004's 50 First Dates! Does the science of this movie make any sense to anyone? Does Drew Barrymore's performance work in this film? Why oh why Rob Schneider? Join us as we usher in Sandler's vacation-era of movies! Editor's Note: There were some difficulties exporting the edited episode so there are two brief audio cut-outs in the first minute or so of the show but from what I can tell that's the extent of the damage.

This week we say hello to 2017 with 2003's infuriatingly bad Anger Management! What damage does this do to Jack Nicholson's overall credibility as an actor? Does anything happen organically in this movie? Why is Covert allowed to have dignity for once? Join us as we try to make sense out of one of our worst experiences yet!

This week we celebrate Chanukah and call a technical foul on the criminally rotten 2002 animated feature(?) Eight Crazy Nights! Could they not get anyone better than Rob Schneider to narrate this film? Is the animation style a strength or weakness regarding the overall quality of the movie? How do we manage to make so many jokes about killing ourselves in our Chanukah episode? Join us as we kvetch over a holiday movie like no other! We thank you for your support and listenership in 2016, wish you a happy and safe holiday cycle, and promise to continue to entertain and enlighten you in 2017.  

This week, we get knocked out cold by Paul Thomas Anderson's 2002 rom-com classic Punch-Drunk Love! Is Sandler's performance one of the strengths of this movie? Is this comedy a laugh out loud experience? Do you think Philip Seymour Hoffman resented being in this film? Join us as we review the film nominated for an MTV Movie Award for Best Kiss!

This week, we have a rich time discussing 2002's Mr. Deeds! Is this a Sandler comeback? Has product placement ever been more transparent? Does the United Negro College Fund get a raw deal at the end of this film? Join Spencer and Zach as they gush over one of Adam's best!

This week, in celebration of our 10th episode, we deviate from Sandler starring roles and talk about what is barely a movie with the 1999 Happy Madison production Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo! How is Rob Schneider this bad in a movie he wrote himself? Is this the most mean spirited film we've covered so far? Could Sandler have saved this premise? Join us as we get it on with one of the worst movies we've ever seen!

This week we have a devil of a good time with 2000's Little Nicky!  What's the deal with this cast? Does this plot have any basis in real religion? Popeye's Chicken is fucking awesome. Join Zach and Spencer as they discuss the film Roger Ebert called Sandler's best yet! Also be sure to vote on our Facebook or Twitter to determine what Happy Madison film we review to celebrate our 10th episode milestone, Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo or Joe Dirt!
