What the Hell Happened to Them?

He also, entirely unsurprisingly, gives up on the podcast. Tune in next week to learn who Joe's new co-host will be.

Podcast for a deep examination into the career and life choices of Adam Sandler. Listen as Patrick, Joe, and Lev are amazed at the global box office for this Sandler smash hit.

Podcast for a deep examination into the career and life choices of Adam Sandler. Come see the okay movie that inspired the hit musical. Sandler moves forward in proving that the entire decade of the 80's was just a cruel joke. He probably also falls in love with someone who is already taken, but wins her heart anyway because the other guy is a secret jerk and she's the most trusting person ever. And if that's not enough to tickle your funny bone, Joe will exhaustively describe the full 'Look Who's Talking' trilogy.

Podcast for a deep examination into the career and life choices of Adam Sandler. Sandler didn't realize his career was about to take off and so took a supporting role in this two-hander about fake best friends who become real best friends, but then become mad at each other only to learn the value of best-friendship. There's typical cop and drug stuff in there too. Meanwhile Joe reveals this movie's cause of a traumatic moment from his past. Listen and good luck will find you.

Podcast for a deep examination into the career and life choices of Adam Sandler.

Also Patrick refuses to believe that Julie Bowen is actually in this movie. Listen to find out who wins in a fight between Patrick and IMDB?

Podcast for a deep examination into the career and life choices of Adam Sandler. Not even sure where to begin here. There is something about a company... maybe a father son thing.

Follow-up podcast for a deep examination into the career and life choices of Adam Sandler. Behold the low-tier rock super-group, the Lone Rangers. Headed by Brendan Fraser (don't worry, Sandler's here too [along with Steve Buschemi]), they hold a radio station hostage to get there crappy demo taped played on the air. But they will have to contend with a Squiggy-less Michael McKean and an oddly ninja-esque Michael Richards. SPOILERS: there is no candy in this movie. There is also no Patrick McGoohan.
