  • The Sandman's Filmography with Jeremy Torres, Skyler Neri, & Noah Monagle: Living A Stream #029

    In this episode, Josh and Eric are joined by guests Jeremy Torres, Skylar Neri, and Noah Monagle for a Living A Stream segment explore the wide-ranging filmography and lasting influence of Adam Sandler. 


    They use the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Jimmy V 1993 ESPY Speech⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ – Did it hold them in thought, make them laugh, and move their emotions to tears — while interweaving the movie's narratives with their life narratives.

They compare his impact on the comedy genre and discuss other notable actors such as Robert Pattinson, Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, Will Ferrell, and Jim Carrey. The episode delves into the emotional resonance of Sandler's movies, the evolution of comedy, and the legacy Sandler leaves in popular culture. And lastly, asking the question: Does the Sandman have a full movie in his filmography?
