Season 4: The Buffs Learn To Love: A Rom Com Summer

Episode 2: Barrymore More More

Hosts: Matt and Joe

Guest: Jarrett

Movie: 50 First Dates (2004)

This week, the Buffs are joined by special guest Jarrett for a deep dive into 50 First Dates, the tropical rom-com that asks: can love survive amnesia, Rob Schneider in dreadlocks, and Sean Astin’s mesh tank tops?

We talk Drew Barrymore’s charm, Adam Sandler’s subtle sincerity, and whether this movie is sweet, sad, or slightly sinister. And yes, we’re aware we used the backup audio again—thank you for loving us through it. 💽
