Jess & Alex watch Spanglish and talk about the pride of the working class, the scariest sex scene in movie history, and the difference in communication between people, classes, gender, and everything else.

Also, man is that fucking egg sandwich good looking. Holy shit.

Jess & Alex watch 50 First Dates and talk about how racism is a systematic issue not just something your one shitty friend does, how memory is like the Ship of Thesues, and how dang good the penguin looked in a shirt (and how that too is colonialism). After we rate the first 20 movies and talk about the first 1/3 of the filmography.

Also we dub this the end of the teenage explosive masculinity era for Sandler.

Content Warning: We talk about sexual assault in this episode.

Jess & Alex watch Dickie Roberts and try to find out why it was ever made, what the movie originally was before edits, and are producers movie land lords? This movie has interesting feature where it's actually two obviously disjointed movies smashed together in a weird way.

Also, Alex rejoices in the meta script of a fictional movie which supports an argument no one ever heard.

Jess & Alex watch Anger Management and discuss when it's appropriate to have a public marriage proposal, why this movie is bad Fight Club, how this movie might be an indictment of the industrial prison industry, but is probably just about masculine anger and how not to handle it.

Also, someone please tell us what is up with that absolutely wild and dangerous parking garage. Those can't exist right?

Alex & Jess watch The Hot Chick and.... like it? We discuss the positive portrayal of trans images, the portrayal of women in a positive manor, and how men and women perceive their bodies differently. We also celebrate the role of parents in this movie, the queer message of the film, and how this movie actually passes the Bechdel test. We also talk about the BIG swing and a miss on the race message in this movie. Pretty big oof there.

Also, we talk about how pretending you have a 6th sense about what media is good or bad is problematic.

Jess & Alex invite Maggie Herskowitz to watch 8 Crazy Nights. We discuss how grieving without a support system leads to bad stuff, Maggie absolutely roasts Jess on her pronunciation of "Seder", and how racism and anti-Semitism have prevented people from being in touch with their culture and how this has slowed or whitewashed a lot of authentic stories from minorities.

Also, Alex laughed 23 times and forgot to mention it. Most laughs were at the weird dance at the end.

Jess, Alex and special guest Jackie (Jess's sister) watch Master of Disguise. Jess and Jackie had fond memories of watching this movie when they were kids... Turns out, kids aren't that smart.

Believe it or not, we had less to say about this movie than about Deuce Bigalow. Instead of discussing the artistic merit or meaning of this movie we discuss how bad it is and how it could be salvaged (with or without a total rewrite). We are so outraged that we forget to talk about Adam Sandler. I can not fathom a worse movie than this. We do cover (kinda) how racist and sexist this movie is.

Also, single mother Dracula/Sean Connery takes Christopher Walken's order at a restaurant.

Jess & Alex watch Mr.Deeds and are horrified by the critique rating of the movie. Then they recover and talk about how it it glamorizes capitalism, has some weirdness about the perception of masculinity and romance, and generally Fox news is harmful garbage a Rupert Murdoch is fucking evil.

Also Alex defends a creepy fictional billionaire based entirely on Sherlockian logic. (Alex writes these, its a self-own chill out.)

Jess & Alex watch Punch Drunk Love and discuss the deconstruction of a Happy Madison film, how masculinity evolves through the years, and how this movie reminds us of Catcher in the Rye.

Also Alex talks about the problem with the "superman" theory and generally too much about super heroes.

Jess & Alex watch The Animal and discuss police in America, why they are bad, why this movie is almost a horror, and why this movie could have been good in several ways and fell flat.

Also, this write up is hard because this movie wasn't very good. Except the car crash scene.
