Speaker 1 (00:11):
How's it going everyone? Welcome to another sports movie review today.
Hank and I will be doing nineteen ninety six is
Happy Gilmore. For those keeping track, it is our second
Adam Saylor movie in a row, which is why Hank
is back for this. When we have a third one planned.
We'll get to that one later.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
But I think I think we have four planned total.
We figured were there are four Sandler sports movies, right.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
This one came out. We were planning to do this
either way. But funny enough, we're recording this today after
Christmas over when had a good holiday out there, and
on Christmas, the first teaser trailer dropped for Happy Gilmour two,
which will be coming out in July of twenty twenty five.
So this is very you know, very relevant to put
out now. And then obviously I'm sure we'll want to
(00:57):
see the one in July. So it's nice to do
Happy Gilmour now. This is right in the middle based
on our last one. This is in the Sandler Can't
Miss era. This came out before water Boy. It's just
two years before water Boy, so this might have really
started that run where everything.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
This was this his is this his second one? This
was this was was this after Billy Madison. Billy Madison
was first, well actually actually gone overboard with First, But
Adam Sandler does not recognize that as even being a
movie that he was in, even though he was the
(01:34):
main character, because the movie is such trash.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Have you ever Watchedliar?
Speaker 2 (01:42):
If you ever sch the movie going Overboard, just don't,
okay unless you like want to be bored for two hours.
It's really bad. Adam Sandler like he's made some whoppers,
and he's like, yeah, this is a great whopper. This
one was just like a like he wants to like
burn every copy that exists in the whole entire world.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Well it works for me because I had never actually
heard of that movie. So whatever he's doing to keep
it buried worked from my perspective. So this is another
This movie's ninety three minutes. It's another hour and a
half banger that he was just dropping like it was
his job during this timeframe. And this one, unlike water Boy,
even though this came out later, I was saying, like,
I don't remember the first time I saw that movie.
(02:26):
That movie was just ingrained in my brain from the
time I had like conscious thought, I already knew what
the water Boy was this. I actually weirdly remember my
cousin renting this from our local video store back when
you did such things, and he just shows me it,
and I know Adam Saylor, but I'm like, who wants
to watch a golf movie?
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Like?
Speaker 1 (02:45):
That was my I remember that being my interies thought
we were not golf people, like I don't you know,
we're maybe like ten at the time. Whatever. Well, yeah,
by the time I saw it, maybe we're ten. So
I'm like, who wants to watch a golf And we
watch it. Obviously we loved it, but I remember initially
dismissing it just because seeing like a golf I'm like,
how do you make a golf movie interesting? And that
answer is you basically make golf the least important thing
(03:07):
in the movie.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
I can one hundred percent agree with that sentiment. I
remember the first time my dad told me I should
watch or told me we should watch the movie Caddy Shack.
My response was, who wants to watch a golf movie? Like?
Who wants to watch a golf movie? I think again,
like you were ten years old. I was ten years
(03:29):
old the first time I saw Caddy Shack, but just
the characters that movie just made it the same thing
with this movie. If the if the characters are good
in a movie about a sport that you don't care about,
then it's not gonna matter. If they can keep you
entertained in that movie, the sport doesn't even matter. Like
you don't even need to know anything about golf in
(03:52):
order to even watch this movie or even like this movie.
It's just entertaining.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
And I would venture to guess that if you're not
a football person, the magic applies to like water Boy
as well, so it just carries over for something like this.
And I know, like I don't know what your relationship
is with golf now, Like I've gone golfing once in
my life. I like mini golf. I'll do that any
day of the week, and I see the appeal of it,
but I know it's just not something that's gonna be
(04:19):
Like I'm not gonna be the golf dad. I'll find
the You know, once you become like a parent, you
can attest it. You get like one of like five hobbies,
and golf is one of them. I don't think that's
gonna be mine. Crazier things have happened, I guess but
I just it doesn't click with me. However, this movie
absolutely does. It's it's timeless.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Yeah, I'm not very good at golf. All my shots
go either left or right, they like never go straight.
I think there's one shot I ever made in golf
where it went in. It was like a par three
and it went in and I went crazy, and I
never hit a shot as good again in my life.
I mean, I'm one of those guys who throughout time,
(04:59):
I I've almost hit windows. Just don't go golfing with
me because I need to learn how to do it better.
But I mean, my grandfather's golfing, some of my friends golf,
my in law's golf. My my dad used to golf
and then he didn't.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
My brother in law is really into it. That's who
I went with, and I enjoyed it. I had a
great time. I'm not saying I wouldn't go again, but
I know it's not going to be a consistent thing
with me. But you know, it's millions and billions of people.
That's almost not an exaggeration play it, so they can't
all be wrong, I guess. So you know it's for
some people, not for me, not for us. But this
movie is for us, so we'll start with what's the
(05:43):
overall theme in this movie? In your opinion, the.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Overall theme in this movie is something that is said
by by Happy Gilmore's grandma throughout the entire like end
of the movie. It is about being happy because well,
his name is Happy Gilmore, but he is not a
happy person throughout much of this movie. I mean, there
(06:11):
are numerous times in this movie where someone says something
foul in his general direction and he just wants to
whack the living crap at. Like, there are so many
scenes in this movie of Adam Sandler either saying he
was going to beat someone up. At one point he
breaks a beer bottle like to try to slit Shooter
(06:35):
McGavin's throat. He gets in a fight with Bob Barker.
It's just he just can't let anything go if someone
insults him, he's just going crazy because you know, I'm
a former hockey player and that's what hockey players do,
and he just it's one of those things where when
his grandma says, just be happy, just go to your
(06:58):
happy place, and he just is able to like sink
the most difficult putt anyone's ever saw it and then
he like wins. Not to spoil the ending for anybody,
but I think the theme of the movie is about
being happy, and that's what that's what Adam Sandler's character,
(07:21):
ironically named Happy Gilmore has to learn throughout the movie.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
I kinda so I almost had the same description, but
I gave it another word. I think like families the
overlining theme, because like, he doesn't care about being the
best golfer. If he could finish dead last in every
tournament but still make the money to save his grandma's house,
he'd be totally fine with that. So like I to me,
it's it's family mixed with teaching an old dog Nutrix,
(07:48):
because the first quarter of the movie is it's like,
I don't go I'm a hockey player. Like he doesn't
even fathom that he could learn golf because he has
a natural ability for at least one aspect of it.
And you know, so it's something to like when you
hit a certain age, you feel like you're locked into
that person and you can't grow and expand. And he
finds out that he has this whole other side to
himself that he never thought was possible.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
It is rather interesting that throughout that movie, most of
the tournaments that he plays in he gets like either
like bottom five or like dead last, like twelve thousand,
twenty thousand, thirty thousand or something like that. When his
bribes made it to the mid it to the like
(08:31):
the putting. You know what I'm saying, You've got to
like it. Just puts it in your head. You've got
to be all at putting. All of your shots made
it through fifty yards four hundred yards like he should
have gotten like eagles or or or pars or I
(08:56):
forget what the one between par and eagle is. Yes, yes,
but for the life and you don't understand how he
was how he could drive so far and still consistently
get last place, because.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
You'd assume like from the green, because that's you know,
the gimmick of this movie is he has this insanely
inanatability to drive the long ball, and then when actual
like golfing skill comes in, he just he falls apart.
So you could almost take like what would take a
normal golfer two maybe the guys that are you know,
(09:35):
on the back end of driving three shots to get
to the green, he's doing it in one and in
one case, he actually gets a hole in one, making
one of the one of the funnier quotes in this
movie is like, that was so much easier than putting.
I should just get it on the first try every time. Yeah,
dubs is like good plan, which more on Chubbs here
in a minute. But yeah, but no, that's a great
(09:56):
like plot point two of like that shows you how
bad and really what it comes down to is like
the patience it takes to put properly. He just does
not possess. Like he said, he's got this anger in
him and even as he like calms down as the
movie goes on. This could like when he later made
the movie Anger Management, he could have made it a
(10:17):
Happy Gilmore like spinoff, Like he could have just played
Happy Gilmore, you know, five years later in that movie,
because it's the same like Anger Management type situation. But
he gets to the point where he's like, man, I
really wish I could beat the crap out of that
guy right now, but I can't.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Oh well, I feel like in Anger Management, I feel
like in Happy Gilmore it was clear that he knew
that he had a problem with just and I like,
I guess this is like a fictional universe where like
the law never never happens. We could get more into that,
but like if you beat somebody up, you're probably going
(10:51):
to get arrested and have like multiple felties on your record.
But I felt like in Happy Gilmore, he kind of
knew he had a problem, but he just didn't didn't
do anything about it because there are no laws, there
are no rules in this universe. But in like in
anger Management, I felt like he kind of knew that
(11:14):
he had an issue, which is why he had an
anker management therapist, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
So yeah, So with this too, I think like we
live in a world where we saw a golfer get
arrested the morning of a tournament, the number one golfer
in the world, Skoty Scheffler, and he still made his
like tea off time, So like maybe maybe the laws
are a little funny.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Well, but he didn't, he didn't really do anything. Like
that was an instance. There was an instance where like
the police officer was just he was he took his
bob a little too seriously. Like this is an instance
where like like a guy falls out a window and
(12:03):
there isn't like a long period of time in which
happy Gilmour is getting investigated because in real life, like
we see what actually happened. He didn't push Chubbs out
the window. But it's like in the real world you'd
have like a flat out, like a flat investigation of like, yo,
what happened? And if we remember there is one character,
(12:29):
wasn't there one character who witnessed him falling out of
the window. Wasn't it the guy who shakes his head?
Speaker 1 (12:37):
I think so?
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Yeah, So like there was actually a witness to a
potential crime. We know that a crime didn't actually take place, Yeah,
but like but that could have been like, oh, you
can't play on the door because you're being investigated for
a possible crime, you know.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
I do think it's funny how they shamelessly like the
missed PGA guy that they use for this, like he admits,
like he does a lot of things wrong and if
anyone else did half these things, we'd kick him out.
But our ratings are better as they've ever been ninety
this guy, which really aged really well because that happens
with all sports leagues. Now, if you're if you're a
(13:17):
needle mover like you are guy, you know, so that
that age is that age pretty well. When we talk
characters here, there's a lot of like this is one
of the more fleshed out, like even the little side characters,
you feel like you know a lot about them. So
like for for favorite and least favorite character, excluding Happy Gilmore,
of course, it's hard to not go with Chubbs because
(13:37):
he kind of puts this whole movie in motion for me.
That for me favorite, that's an easy one. But what's yours?
Speaker 2 (13:45):
My favorite character in this movie. I forget his name is,
but it's it's Ben Stiller's character. Yep, the uh, the
guy who works in the old Folks home and eats
them all. Like there's this one scene where they're they're
like knitting. They're like knitting stuff for him that I
(14:08):
guess possibly he's going to try to sell this is
arts and crafts class or something like that. But he's
like treating them like they're like sweatshot workers. Yeah, and
he's like if any of them like get out of line,
like threaten death upon them. Like there's the one scene
(14:29):
where the grandma is like, can I borrow you for
some warm milk? And he's like, you bothered you for
a glass of shut the hell up, you know what
I'm saying. And then she's like she's like she's like,
it's time for your nap, but she's like, well, I'm
not tired. And he's like, well, if you do not
(14:50):
go to sleep, I will put you to sleep.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
That's exactly where I was going with that. That's the
best quote. If you don't go to sleep, I will
put you to sleep. And that's yeah, that's in there
for sure.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
But like the families of the client, he's like super nice.
He's like, oh yeah, I can't accept that twenty dollars,
Like I will take care of your grandma from the
for the the goodness of my heart. And then when
he shows up for like to see her again, she's
like looking uneasy. He's like, what's wrong? Grandma is like
(15:23):
from behind, he's like he's like, I'm gonna kill you
if you like squeal like mmmm. But like and then
there's like when they come to the old Folks Home,
there's like a woman who's like she's like it's like
trying to kill her, So she's like throwing herself out
in front of the car so that they're getting out
of here. Yeah, but like I totally agree, like this
(15:47):
movie is has such a plethora of great characters. I mean,
Shooter McGavin is just probably the greatest Adam Sendler villain.
Because you could almost because you know how like the
Karate Kid. A lot of people have come out with
(16:09):
theories that Daniel is actually the villain of the movie
because he provokes so much. There could actually be a
theory that Happy Gilmore is the villain of this movie,
because yes, sure, Juter McGavin has all of the villain qualities,
Like he's just a he's a huge jerk, and he
(16:32):
is mean, and he tries to buy the Grandma's house
at the very end of the movie and wants to
turn his room into a trophy room or his former room.
And then he's like but at the same time, it's like,
this guy trained his whole life to be this great
golfer and you know, win a gold jacket, and he's
(16:54):
the favorite to win that gold jacket, and here comes
this this new guy who's kind of like rash and
punches people and threatens people, and it didn't work at
all for what he had until like the last part
of the movie. You could honestly say that Seuter McGavin
(17:17):
outside of him being like his personality being like trash personality,
could it be considered like the good guy in the movie.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Yeah, because in his mind, he's like protecting the sanctity
of his sport, right, and he sees this this new
guy come come around that like really has none of
this skilled Like the first tournament they're in together, he
wins the thing and someone asks him about you know,
him him getting the hole and Woolan on the par four,
and he's like, oh, how do you do today? Oh
that's right, dead last. Yeah, he had a good day though, thanks,
(17:50):
Like he tries to dimit him as much as possible.
So yeah, in his head, like he is, you know,
everybody's the hero of their own story. He feels that
he is protecting his sport that he's worked his whole
life for, like you mentioned from this guy that's like
anti everything, you know, because golf, you know, this is
maybe relaxed more nowadays, but like it's seen as like
(18:11):
for the elites and it's more of an upbity like
upper echelon of people play it. And he's, you know,
this is his moment and his moment's getting taken from
him and really it comes to a head in that
last round where they're going back and forth and back
and forth and I'm happy we'll break the tension. Was saying,
you know what's crazy, though, You've been playing golf your
whole life and I just started and we're both like
(18:32):
neck and neck, and it's like that really must get
to you, especially when you have a fragile ego like his.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
Yeah, and it really like the only thing that makes
him the true villain is like him like just being
a jerk and the sabotage in the movie where he
hires the asshole or jackass guy to like run him
over with his car.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
So I had the Ben Stiller guy as like a
quote unquote side character because he's only in like three
scenes and if you add up his screen time, he's
probably probably in it for like three maybe four minutes.
So as a for a least favorite, true full blown character,
I actually have the jackass Guy, not because of what
he's doing, but like it's one thing if he was
(19:20):
actually Shooter's friend, but he's like a megafan that's just
driving all over the country. Like this guy has like
a pretty sad existence, right, Like he just wants to
like hang out at Red Lobster with Shooter and he
keeps like, you know, oh maybe next time, man, but
he's still doing it. So this guy is like no backbone.
He's clearly just like a super stalker fan. So it's like,
(19:41):
I wouldn't hang out with that guy. It's not so
much what he's it's only if like it was his
cousin or you know, one of his people that's getting
paid to do all these things. But no, it's just
this like kind of sad existence guy.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
Well doesn't he does pay him, He does pay him,
but he's not like but but he like he he
would for if he could, he hang out with Shooter
McGavin at Red Lobster exactly. The only thing that kills
me about that, that makes me not like that character
as much is the fact that he just says jackass.
(20:16):
You know, like like you can think of like all
of the hecklers at golfing events, like the mash Potato
guy and the light the candle guy. Yeah, there's like
he could have said other things instead of like.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
A jazz and after like maybe the third time, you
think they kicked that guy out anyway.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Yeah, but there's but there's no rules in in this
universe outside of the rules of golf right, and the
rules of government too, like repossessing people's unpaid taxes. The
grandma the only person who ever gets in trouble by
the law in the whole movie, if you think of it.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
And which is crazy to me, because Happy he had
a rock solid defense for his grandma, just like she
can't pay her taxes. She's too old, You're.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Honest, old, she's just looking at her.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
She's too old.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
The guy's like, it's screw old people. They suck.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
We could have done, we could have turned. You know.
I have this this script that I try to stick
with when we review movies. We could have just done
a March Madness style, sixty four different quotes from this movie,
and figure out what is the true best quote in
I think I give it to you go to sleep
or I will put you to sleep, because everybody has
said that. But what I have. I've limited my list
(21:35):
to three, and it's ones that either I say in
my daily life or people say in their daily life,
and they may not even know they're from this movie.
So the first one this happens. I use this a
lot when I'm playing beer pong and my SHOT's not
fallen when he just goes is that goal regulation size
or what? So people will say that, you know when
they're when they're missing stuff. This one, I'm convinced people
(21:59):
don't know from this movie, Like you see people like
Espn' like Lamar Jackson went for seven hundred yards and
dah dah dah, And then the top common will be
is that good? And it'll be like people use that
all the time. And I'm pretty sure it came from
this because you know when he's when they're moving the
stuff out of Grandma's house and the movers are playing
golf and he hits it four hundred yards away, He's like,
(22:21):
is that good? And then he hits the lady again
four hundre yards away. You hit that guy? He shouldn't
have been standing there? So is that good? Three words?
Very simple, but it lasts a legacy. And then my
favorite one friends listened to Edgeless Love in the Dark.
They do that's yeah, that's up there for me. So
that's my three that I feel like I've said the
(22:42):
most in my life. But what about you?
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Okay, So the obvious one, tap it in, yep, tap
it in? Because he's like he's really failing at putting,
and he's like, happy, here's what you gotta do. You
just gotta tap it in just taping it, just tapping it.
And he's like he's kind of like mocking the taping
(23:05):
it tap.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
And then he actually done, what else you got? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (23:15):
The other one is the obvious is okay, if I
wear on here, we already have go for it.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Uh, the pieces of ship like you for breakfast. It's
like like it's not just the I or no, no,
it's eight ship like you for is it? I ship
like you for okay? Pieces of ship like you for breakfast,
And just the next quote it's just like you.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Eat ship for breakfast? No, No, I don't. Yeah, great
come back that that that one, that's one A lot
of people they looks like the reverse Uno card on
the on the playground. People are like, you know, any
even pieces of crap. It's like because they kind of
used that in Sandlot too, you know, yeah, it's great,
great comeback. You know, he's not considered a smart guy
(24:02):
in this, but he's he's quick witted on his feet
for sure.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
And then I would say the final one is when
he's he sees he goes to his grandma's house and
she's like, what happened to that? This girl? Uh, whatever
her name was, And he's like.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
How how is she doing?
Speaker 2 (24:20):
Is she's dead?
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Grandma? She's just like car.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
It's like like, that's just these are just things that like,
you know, like when you're talking to your mom and
you know, you up with your girlfriend, you know, and you.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
Don't want to give her the whole story. Yeah, like
with the lady, he's like, oh my girlfriend fell off
a cliff, you know, Like he just tries to get
it out there real quick. So yeah, that's definitely a
way to get out of having to give, like your
mom or whoever, the whole story.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
She dead.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
She's dead. So favorite and least favorite scenes I would
try to. I deep dived a little for the favorite
scene one, the whole mini golf thing right that you're
gonna die clown and he smacks his nose off, and
then this hits home for me because so like my mom.
Speaking of parents, he has worked at a bank her
(25:13):
entire life, right, thirty five plus years working at a bank,
and I always wonder, like, Mom, do people come in
with big checks like you see on TV to cash them,
and she explained to me that no, those are for
show and they bring up but in this movie, even
though they're worthless. Happy he's just putting the big checks
in the back his r and just hanging on to
(25:34):
him for his receipts or whatever. And because he's like, oh,
write me one of those big ones. I don't care,
and like those are good for anything. But it was
just makes me chuckle. But he's just got a stack
big ass checks in there.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
It was really funny because like the guy wings gets
that is the only one to get the check and
he's like, hey, where's my check. He's like, only the
winner gets it. We haven't made the ones for the ones.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
Yeah, we mail him out in a week or something.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Nail him out in a week. He's like that's not
fair and he just leaves him all in his car
and it's like.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
Yeah, he's not cashing him either. He just wanted to,
I think so he can like manually like keep track
of how much he's made or something, because he's still
he still has not been given the money. It's just
he feels better about it.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
He could just you could just write down on a
piece of paper.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
You know, yeah, you'd much rather have the you know,
have the thing go so favor for you. Then what
do you what do you got?
Speaker 2 (26:28):
I would say my favorite scene in the movie, I
think I would say that it that it's the one
where the I forget what the guy's name is. He's
the guy, the the Fuckenstein looking guy who plays Jaws
in James Bond, who has the thing in his head.
(26:50):
And it's really funny because when Happy Giler sees him
on four because the guy at the beginning of the movie,
like Happy Gilmore causes him to have the giant, yeah,
the nail in his head and then like he's like,
I've forgiven you Happy, like I'm here to support you.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
It's like I actually like hard.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
All these all these people I would say, like I
would say, like people who you probably expect to be
like like stereotypical like w W E slash NASCAR fans
show up because he's just so exciting and he's just
like he's just like I forgive you. But that's that's
(27:32):
not my favorite scene. It's the scene where Shooter McGavin
he hits like his first like really bad drive of
the movie and it ends up in the in the
woods and it ends up on the guys like sneaker
his like his foot his shoot and he's, I guess
this is another like really good quote. Guys like, uh,
(27:57):
I forget, I forget what the guy says. But he's
like like he's like, uh taunting, like taunting shooter McGavin
as he has to hit this ball off of his shoe,
and he's like, I'll see you in the parking lot.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Yeah, and then his third shot or something, so he's like,
that's three, Shooter, and he goes, congrats, you can count
He goes, and you can count on me. He waiting
for you in the parking lot, and then he bends
his driver or whatever. He just snaps it.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
He just scares the guy. But the quote is that
at the very end of the movie, when the like
the tower thing falls and you can't you can't get
to the the whole, you have to play it as
it lies. In the Shooter, McGavin is like, that's not fair.
I had to hit a ball of Frankenstein's foot. You
(28:53):
will play it as it.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
Lies, which, like he said, he played Frankenstein, which made
it even better. So, yeah, right off of Frankenstein his
fat foot and then he and then.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
He steal at the end of I know I'm going
too far, but like the jacket at the end of
the movie, and and like he's chasing him like, oh,
that belongs to the mister Gilmore.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
And then he he's just like it's a funny thing,
real quick. Not to cut you off though, because you
mentioned the gold jackets. Obviously that's the pinnacle of golf.
Did you know this? And I'll thank rich Eisen for this.
When you are a golfer and you win a gold jacket,
if you win multiple gold jackets, you don't physically get
(29:32):
more gold jackets, like like, uh, I don't name a
name a really successful golfer. He doesn't just have a
closet full of gold jackets. They only give you one.
That's a little disappointing to me. I feel like people
should have you win five majors, you should have a
closet with five jackets in it. But that was weird
to me. I wanted to pass.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
Maybe it's maybe it's something where they like they put
like pin, maybe like put on a pin on our
jacket or something like that for each one that they
each one is that don't have to give them another one,
so it's just like, yeah, like this is me.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
I don't know, yeah, but I remember that was weird
when I found that out. Uh, what do you got
for a least favorite scene.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
I would say that my least it's this is so difficult.
I would say my least favorite scene was. I'm I'm
not really big on the the the scene where they
go on they finally go on their date. Mhm, that one.
(30:38):
I yeah, I mean I listened to that part, but
when they're just like skating, I'm just like, I don't.
I don't know. Like when watching Adam Samer movie, I'm
not really looking for like super sappy scenes.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
It kind of reminds me of Rocky a little bit
when him and Adriane go on the first date, except
that they both have skates where and now when Rocky's
just like jogging alongside her, But it doesn't mean that.
But no, I agree, like I could do without that,
Like this movie didn't need a love interest, but like fine,
like give her, won't give one.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
If you do have time later, I do want to
share gripe with the love interests in this movie as
it's well spoilerd is my least favorite character in the movie.
But we can talk about that later.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
I guess, yeah, I have. I have a plot holes
questions in facts sections so you can you can bring
it up in that least favorite scene. I'm gonna go
out and say it. Chubbs didn't need to die. And
I have figured out how you can still have the
situation where he's not there to help him in the
final thing. You can still have him fall out the window.
But here's what you do. You have him land on
(31:54):
his arm and it breaks his other hand. Now he
has a cast on one hand and no hand on another.
It would be funny. Maybe he's laid up in the hospital.
Think like Major League two when when the manager gets
a heart attack, so he's not there for the playoffs,
like do something like that. But Chubbs didn't need to die. Man,
that's every every time I watch this movie and I
(32:14):
forget about the like you know, he wrestles with the alligator,
he gets his head and you know he opened. Yeah,
I always, I almost always forget that it happens. Didn't
need to happen that way. I think it's funny if
he breaks his arm and he's got a cast in
a no hand, or he.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
Just spends he said, he spends all the last few
things in the hospital. Yeah, and maybe he gives Happy
a pep talk right before the last shot or something
like that.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
Right, right, that's that is the scene I could have
done without for sure. All Right, what piece of memorabilia
would you most want from this movie?
Speaker 2 (32:48):
I would say the cracker that cakes up at the
like to he basically, the guy puts his ball like
he he uses. He uses a cracker as a as
the baseholder.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
For the ball. Is that it's mostly a coin. First,
the guy steals the coin because steals yeah, yeah, and
then for some reason because now he knows that he's
learning that homeless man's learning to be a caddy on
the fly here, so he's like, oh, I need something
to market, and he has a cracker apparently.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
Would you have Adam Sandler signed the cracker or the
guy that plays the homeless.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
The guy the guy who plays the homeless guy, because
if you remember, he is the only Adam Sandler regular
who is in that movie. Yeah, he's the guy who
plays the main character in Grandma's Boy. Yep, he's funny
Devin Allen or something like that.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
I forget you mentioned the theory with like was it
a karate kid, where like, who's a real bad guy?
There is a rumor or a fan theory that the
person that happy is matched with in the first round,
the just be on the carousel, put in the corn,
go up down in a round. That guy is so
like you know, hippie Dippy and like he becomes mister
(34:08):
cheesel and Grandma's boy, where he's just like the zen
Master video game owner because he has the money from
playing professional golf and he's like, oh, I'm gonna start
a I'm gonna start a video game studio. So that's
another fan theory.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
With that interesting.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
But no, the Cracker's good. I think he's gonna be
stale as hell by now. I hope you haven't so
that like you know, anstone get to it or whatever.
I thought a lot about this. I thought, like, I'm
not a Bruins fan, but like the Bruins hatter jersey
obviously is Chubb's hand. I think it is too easy,
So I'm not even the gator heead two pretty common, right,
I'm going with the construction hat with the nail in
(34:44):
it and have it by the guy because Obviously at
some point they cut the hat out because the nails
still in nail comes out next week apparently. But yeah,
if there was a version of it where it was
the hat and the nail in it, I would want that.
That's what I would want for sure. So when people
talk happy Gilmore, what is the scene you think they
(35:07):
immediately go to, what is the most memorable scene in
this movie?
Speaker 2 (35:15):
I would say, I would say it's I would say
it's him his happy place, one of those scenes where
he's in his happy place and you know, the love
interest is in like fishnets and she's given him beer
and the grandma is like she's like she's gambling and
she gets all the money and for some reason a shooter.
(35:37):
Gavin is being chased by a little person riding like
a wooden horse dressed up as a cowboy and Chubs
playing the piano and he's like, your their eyes are
not DV you happy? I have my handback and he's like, sang,
it's only just begun on.
Speaker 1 (35:57):
The piano and his hand up in the music. It's
still playing. It didn't affect the music playing.
Speaker 2 (36:04):
Yeah, I don't mean say that would be this that
I mean, I know that's not one scene. There are
a bunch of different scenes, Like there's occurring thing Shooter
McGavin starts making out with the love interest to get
her name escapes me because she didn't matter that much,
or she shouldn't. She's my least favorite character in the movie.
Speaker 1 (36:25):
Her name is Virginia Vennett or Julie. Yeah, I think
that's it. I'm looking out to cast right now. Yeah,
so mine. I think when most people think that it
ropes back into like the Jackass guy. But I think
it's the Adam Sandlor fight with Bob Barker. That's what
most people are gonna think of with this movie. And
it's like Bob Barker only agreed to do this movie
(36:48):
if he didn't have a stunt double for that. So
that's really him rolling around and all that stuff.
Speaker 2 (36:54):
So that's interesting because when Bob Barker died, there was
a filmed between Adam Sandler and Bob Barker in the hospital.
Sandler was beating and Bob Barker were beating each other
up in the hospital.
Speaker 1 (37:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (37:13):
And also the weird thing is the fact that when
Bob Barker died, he was like in his nineties which
we mean when this movie came out, he was like
in his late sixties. My parents are in the mid
sixties and they don't look as old as Bob bark looked.
(37:33):
So it's kind of weird. Maybe he's just like.
Speaker 1 (37:35):
You, let's see. Yeah, you know, so the with with him,
uh you know, the joke is like, oh, you probably
deal with people that know all you want. Let's make
a deal. And it's like, it's the price is right, happy,
the price the price, and the price is wrong, bitch.
Of course that's the quote in there for sure. But
you know the point of price is right is as
close as you can get without going over. Bob Barker
(37:57):
left us at ninety nine years old, so is as
close as he could get without going over. So r
I p there the big Bob plot holes, questions, facts,
you can give your your disdain for for the love
interest character. I want to throw this out there. The
next movie we're doing, it's in the Adam Sandler trilogy.
We're gonna do The Longest Yard. And I imagine when
(38:18):
this movie came out, Adam Sandler didn't know he was
gonna ultimately start in the remake of the Longest Yard
but with Richard Keel mister Larson, the big guy with
the nail and his head. He is in the original
Longest Yard. He's the great colleague character in the in
the original one, and when he first when before you
meet Shooter and the limo pulls up, Adam Sandler is like, Oh,
(38:40):
it must be Burt Reynolds here or something. Yeah, he
plays reynolds role in the remake. And then Burt Reynolds
plays the old man role. So there's like Longest Yard
foreshadowing uh twice in this movie that like the way
they could have they could have planned that.
Speaker 2 (38:55):
Yeah, I'll go over. Is Virginia Virginia?
Speaker 1 (39:01):
What?
Speaker 2 (39:02):
Oh, Virginia something Virginia Virginia.
Speaker 1 (39:07):
The gripe that I have Virginia villain.
Speaker 2 (39:11):
The ripe that I have with this character is in
in every major Adam Sandler movie where there is a
love interest. She's hot and she has like some weird
thing going on with her, you know what I'm saying,
Like Vicky Valancourt is hot, but she's also a criminal.
(39:34):
You know, the teacher from Billy Madison, She's hot, but
she's also a teacher, you know what I'm saying. And
his teacher, his teacher, right, the love interest from mister Deed's.
Speaker 1 (39:50):
She's hot and she's.
Speaker 2 (39:51):
Also a hot reporter, you know exactly in what's the
movie Big Daddy. She's hot, but her voice is also
really annoying, you know what I'm saying, Like.
Speaker 1 (40:07):
She can't remember him.
Speaker 2 (40:09):
She can't remember anything, right. This character is just hot
that she doesn't really have any other like certain character are.
Besides the fact that she's good looking.
Speaker 1 (40:23):
Well, she the thing they have to get over is
she won't date golfers. And his responses, well, I'm not high,
but I will say this, I'm not I would in
no way call her not an attractive woman. But the
haircut she has in this movie does not do her
any favors. She's got that that was a very nineties
hair I know, before we knew what the Karen haircut was.
She kind of has a Karen haircut. But but yeah, really,
(40:44):
the only thing they have to go over is like, oh,
I don't date you know, I I don't think golfers.
Speaker 2 (40:50):
But obviously she ended updating a golfer because.
Speaker 1 (40:53):
He was a golf champions.
Speaker 2 (40:55):
He's a liar. She's a liar too, so but like
her character doesn't have any depth at all, Like she
like you said, she could be there, she could not
be there, and the story would I guess the only
thing that she really does if she goes to bat
for him. Yeah, and even though he should have been
(41:18):
kicked off the torah a long time agough, she's like, well,
everyone likes him and and he's bringing some new fans
into the sport of golf. Otherwise, nothing's really going on
with this character. And I feel like they could have
done without her or not. I feel like maybe if
(41:41):
she was just like maybe if she was a golfer
two that have been something that saved her character that.
Speaker 1 (41:51):
Or maybe another Not that I would really lobby for
more of her in this movie, but like another scene
or two where she's like fighting for him behind the scenes,
just so it really walks in like the only reason
he the only reason you still hear is Chubbs trained
him and because she's you know, bailing him out left
and right.
Speaker 2 (42:08):
Maybe maybe he's like his attorney or something like that,
and she's like mildly annoyed with him and his all
his escapades and all the the weird things that he
does and all those any things that he does, and
like maybe there's like a scene where like he gets
(42:29):
he he gets arrested for the whole Chubb's thing, and
she's the one who's like, I believe exactly exactly that's true.
That's and that's what allows him to go back onto
the tour.
Speaker 1 (42:42):
I'll say this too, what if, like the so he
gets about halfway through the movie, he gets a Subway sponsorship, right,
that's what kind of keeps him. God, yeah, he could
have if he didn't get in with Shooter too bad
to where he like thought to go to the place
and buy it out from under him. He could have like,
can I just sign a really creative Subway sponsorship and
buy the buy the thing with that money, and then
(43:04):
I can just be this crazy guy that you guys
wanna h market. You know, like that Subway could have
just flipped the bill for this whole thing. If he's
making them a lot of money, he's doing those commercials
and stuff, so that could have worked.
Speaker 2 (43:15):
Yeah, that's I could say. That's that's a plot hole. Yeah,
speaking of that is a huge plot hole in the movie.
Speaker 1 (43:22):
So, so here is my before we get out of here.
At the end, we're gonna give like our I haven't
even seen the trailer for Happy Gilmore too. I know
it's out, but I watched. I watched you give a
little insight. Then that's cool. But before we get to that,
because that'll be our closing thing, what would the version
of Happy Gilmore skill set be in other sports? Like
(43:44):
in this one he has a legendary driver, but he
can't put for shiit So is that like if he's
a quarterback, is he Tim Tebow? Like you can run
all over the field, but like can't complete a slant
route for the most part.
Speaker 2 (43:59):
Maybe it was like maybe it's like a remember in
that when the National League pitchers hit or something like
that could be a situation where like he's an amazing pitcher,
like he he does great pitching, like he's a perfect pitcher,
but when it comes to hitting, he like strikes out
(44:21):
every time.
Speaker 1 (44:22):
Yeah, he's like a cy young level pitcher, but he's like,
oh for forever, that's a one.
Speaker 2 (44:28):
Yeah, there were pictures who could hit home runs. I
mean we have, we have Otani, but that he's kind
of like he's kind of different in which he pitchess
because he can. Maybe it's one of those things where
it's like you're a tennis player and you can make
all of the routine hits, but you or no, maybe
(44:51):
it's you can make all the spectacular hits, but you
can't make the routine hits.
Speaker 1 (44:56):
It's like the guy in Major League two, the new
catcher they bring in. He like he can gun somebody
out second, but he can't throw the first for some reason.
Speaker 2 (45:05):
In basketball, you can you can make every shot that
isn't a free throw, but shack Shack can do a
three point.
Speaker 1 (45:17):
Like sha, but can't hit free throws.
Speaker 2 (45:20):
Or you could like any shot that you shot went in,
but you can't hit a free throw. So the obvious,
the obvious strategy by the other team is just to
foul you because you can't hit a free throw.
Speaker 1 (45:36):
Yeah, so a couple couple of different versions of that. Basically,
like you dominate in one aspect and then I guess
the other equivalent maybe is uh in the replacements, right,
uh uh Richard Franklin, I think it is his name
they got. He's like fast as all get out, but
can't catch anything.
Speaker 2 (45:54):
You can't catch the ball.
Speaker 1 (45:55):
Yeah, yeah, something like that could be the case. So, yeah,
a couple of different variations of of the hat Gilmore.
The he does this, but he can't do this combination
that we figured out there. So again, we couldn't have
done this at a better time, because less than twenty
four hours ago at the time of recording the Happy
Gilmore two trailer, I've seen screenshots. I've known this was
coming for two reasons. One, you know, I'm a wrestling fan.
(46:17):
Everybody knows that the watches this show. The wrestler Maxwell
Jacob Friedman, he's an aw who's a former world champion,
has a role in this movie. I don't know what
that role is yet, but he's in the movie. That's
why he's not been on Wrestling TV for the past
couple months because he's been filming that. And then I
watched the Rich Eisen Show a lot, and he also
has a role in that. I don't know if he
plays a character or this is gonna be like a
(46:37):
Rich Eisen segment in Happy Gilmore too, but he has
been the guy that's like it is filming. I went
and filmed my scenes over in this weekend. We shot
in this place in Georgia. Like he's been giving you
a little nuggets about it. So that's the only reason
I knew this movie was really happening and it wasn't
just a rumor.
Speaker 2 (46:55):
Well speaking hold on, speaking of Rich Eisen, you do
remember who the sports the commentator is in this movie is?
Speaker 1 (47:04):
It wasn't him in that in this one too, No,
it was Vern Lunquist.
Speaker 2 (47:08):
The famous CBS the guy who used to do the
CBS college football games.
Speaker 1 (47:14):
Okay, but.
Speaker 2 (47:16):
The jolly old dude like that comb over, right he is,
Because Kelly, it's that Verne Lunkquist is like a It's
like she she just thinks that he's like one of
those jolly old men who just likes it there, like
has that he kind of like that that that uh
jim Ant's voice, you know right, he.
Speaker 1 (47:38):
Does definitely has a very iconic voice. Thinking back, like
I wouldn't have known him by name, by Picho like
that voice, you know, you've heard a bunch and it's
like in you know, back to water Boy again, like
it's like a young Kirk Kirk Street. And then in
the Longest Yard remake they have Chris Berman and that
he could just be the new announcer. That's true, that
could be his role. I don't know that for sure,
(47:59):
so like I haven't seen the trailer you have, what
do you make of it? Like this movie it's been
it's been twenty nine years since this movie came out,
which is just blows my mind to stand or will
be by twenty twenty five. I would have been okay
if we never got a sequel, Like the movie is
just enjoyed and it is so to have it. What
is the general plot? Do we get that much? Or
(48:20):
is it just a teaser? Like is he training somebody
knew what's to do?
Speaker 2 (48:24):
It was from what I remember, it was a teaser.
I mean I remember he would like come out with
like these fake Happy Gilmore trailers or like these pump
up things with guy who plays Shooter McGavin all the time.
But this one, like you said, is the only Like
it's Netflix, Like how are you gonna fake? How are
(48:46):
you gonna fake that? But from what I remember, there's
a scene where Adam where Happy Gilmore does the you know,
like the rides, the rides the golf club. That's like
the opening thing on there. There's a scene where Shooter
McGavin is in a is in a is in a
cemetery and he's right in front of somebody's grave and
(49:09):
I don't. I wasn't able to see who's grave it was.
Speaker 1 (49:12):
I would think maybe Chubbs or Grandma to be.
Speaker 2 (49:15):
Chubbs maybe, but I don't know why, why would it be?
But he's in the cemetery's jums is the worst part.
Maybe it's one of those situations where like after Happy
Gilmore Shouter McGavin's life just went down the tubes, like
maybe he was. And then there's a scene where he
(49:36):
I think, I think Happy Gilmour gets married to Virginia
what's her face? Uh? This is don't care about this character,
but I guess they get married. There's a scene where
they're like in rocking chairs and they're like making out.
That's like, can really I saw it when you when
(49:58):
you send it to me, that is when I watched
it and watched it once.
Speaker 1 (50:03):
And your your reaction to it was what most people's were,
which was like is this real? Like, yes, this one
is actutely real. This is I didn't realize it was
gonna be a Netflix project. I assume it would go
in theaters like anything else.
Speaker 2 (50:14):
No, No, it's a Netflix project because Adam Sandler has
made a deal with Netflix.
Speaker 1 (50:21):
Yeah, like because he made they made they got to
watch movies with them.
Speaker 2 (50:25):
That Hub Halloween or whatever. He made it with Netflix
in twenty twenty. So he's got a bunch of Netflix.
He's got a deal with Netflix. I think he made
those mystery movies. Yeah, using Netflix, So there's a deal
that he has with that, and.
Speaker 1 (50:42):
That that hustle that basketball movie too, So that it
makes sense. I just like originally didn't think like when
this one became an idea, I don't know if that
was it's I think it's better. I think more people.
Not that I wouldn't have seen it in theaters. I
probably would have, but it's a no brainer to watch
it on Netflix, So I think that probably probably the
better move. So any any lasting thought obviously July twenty
(51:04):
twenty five, Well, well it'll be great because we can
like review with the same week it comes to coubs
right there on Netflix. That'll be great. So between now
and then we have we're gonna do Longest Yard in
the next month or two. And then before we get
out of your hank, you want to let people know
what we're doing on your second channel here coming up.
Speaker 2 (51:21):
So on my second channel, we are going so and
Phil wrote a comment on that last video and he
spoke nothing but facts, okay, and my wife and co
sign this whole thing.
Speaker 1 (51:40):
Yeah, to give more detail to that last part that
fifth I think he cut that last video into five parts,
and he uploaded the last part today. And the best
part about it being a year and a half later
is I forgot what we talked about. So I got
to like watch it for the first time and I
couldn't help, but like I wasn't trying to be a
dick or anything, but I thought it was fine.
Speaker 2 (52:00):
It's fun. There's nothing but facts.
Speaker 1 (52:02):
Because at the end of the video he goes, I'm
going to get these out a SAP, and I'm like, Hank,
I'm gonna put this out a sap. You know, Hank
from twenty twenty three. So it took a whole year
to do. So the stream is a great idea that
we can just it'll be raw and uncut and we'll
just get to talk Power Rangers. This one goes smooth.
We have aspirations to do the Turbo movie, maybe the
one from twenty seventeen. There's a rumor that they're going
(52:24):
to take another bite at the Apple and another Power
Rangers movie. So I will put Hank really yeah, we'll
talk more about that on your stream. That'll give it.
I'll send you the articles and stuff, so I'll be
putting Hank's regular channel and his secondary channel in the description,
so you guys. Well, and not to.
Speaker 2 (52:41):
Forget, we're also going to be reviewing the new Power
Rangers game, Rita's Rewind, which I will say is probably
the most difficult button mashing game I have ever played
in my life and still having still with it.
Speaker 1 (53:00):
Well, the problem with that is the game is meant
to be played. It's like an old school arcade game.
You're supposed to play with multiple players. We got it
on the Switch because that's the console that we both have,
and the online element to it hasn't been released yet.
It comes out in a couple of weeks, so it'll
be much easier when you have backups. So that will
another Well, we will either maybe try to just record
some gameplay and we can talk over it where we're
(53:21):
still figuring out we're doing that. But yes, on top
of the movies, Power Injurer game that just came out,
we just rewind, we do you plan to do some
stuff on that? So, like I said, all the all
of Hags both his channels. I'll put in the description
for this. Look out for his regular stuff on his
main channel, and then a lot of Power Ranger stuff
coming up too. So anything else said before we get
out of here, just be happy, be happy.
Speaker 2 (53:44):
If I can, If I can quote Bob Marley, don't worry,
be happy.
Speaker 1 (53:48):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (53:49):
Except sometimes sometimes if you don't want to be happy,
you have to I guess.
Speaker 1 (53:53):
Yeah, And sometimes you got to break up your bottle
on someone's head or punch him. You got to grab
the guys back of his jersey and punch him straight
through his own T shirt. Yeah, that's just a happy
Gilmour punch that he had there. But this has gone
out long enough. I want to thank Hank for being here.
I'm really looking forward to reviewing those Power Ranger movies
here and the game in the future. Again. Hope everyone
had a great Christmas. Hank, I promise this will be
(54:16):
up as soon as possible, hopefully within twenty four hours.
You have my word. So thank you guys for listening
and watching, and we'll see you next time. You Take
care
How's it going everyone? Welcome to another sports movie review today.
Hank and I will be doing nineteen ninety six is
Happy Gilmore. For those keeping track, it is our second
Adam Saylor movie in a row, which is why Hank
is back for this. When we have a third one planned.
We'll get to that one later.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
But I think I think we have four planned total.
We figured were there are four Sandler sports movies, right.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
This one came out. We were planning to do this
either way. But funny enough, we're recording this today after
Christmas over when had a good holiday out there, and
on Christmas, the first teaser trailer dropped for Happy Gilmour two,
which will be coming out in July of twenty twenty five.
So this is very you know, very relevant to put
out now. And then obviously I'm sure we'll want to
(00:57):
see the one in July. So it's nice to do
Happy Gilmour now. This is right in the middle based
on our last one. This is in the Sandler Can't
Miss era. This came out before water Boy. It's just
two years before water Boy, so this might have really
started that run where everything.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
This was this his is this his second one? This
was this was was this after Billy Madison. Billy Madison
was first, well actually actually gone overboard with First, But
Adam Sandler does not recognize that as even being a
movie that he was in, even though he was the
(01:34):
main character, because the movie is such trash.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Have you ever Watchedliar?
Speaker 2 (01:42):
If you ever sch the movie going Overboard, just don't,
okay unless you like want to be bored for two hours.
It's really bad. Adam Sandler like he's made some whoppers,
and he's like, yeah, this is a great whopper. This
one was just like a like he wants to like
burn every copy that exists in the whole entire world.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Well it works for me because I had never actually
heard of that movie. So whatever he's doing to keep
it buried worked from my perspective. So this is another
This movie's ninety three minutes. It's another hour and a
half banger that he was just dropping like it was
his job during this timeframe. And this one, unlike water Boy,
even though this came out later, I was saying, like,
I don't remember the first time I saw that movie.
(02:26):
That movie was just ingrained in my brain from the
time I had like conscious thought, I already knew what
the water Boy was this. I actually weirdly remember my
cousin renting this from our local video store back when
you did such things, and he just shows me it,
and I know Adam Saylor, but I'm like, who wants
to watch a golf movie?
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Like?
Speaker 1 (02:45):
That was my I remember that being my interies thought
we were not golf people, like I don't you know,
we're maybe like ten at the time. Whatever. Well, yeah,
by the time I saw it, maybe we're ten. So
I'm like, who wants to watch a golf And we
watch it. Obviously we loved it, but I remember initially
dismissing it just because seeing like a golf I'm like,
how do you make a golf movie interesting? And that
answer is you basically make golf the least important thing
(03:07):
in the movie.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
I can one hundred percent agree with that sentiment. I
remember the first time my dad told me I should
watch or told me we should watch the movie Caddy Shack.
My response was, who wants to watch a golf movie? Like?
Who wants to watch a golf movie? I think again,
like you were ten years old. I was ten years
(03:29):
old the first time I saw Caddy Shack, but just
the characters that movie just made it the same thing
with this movie. If the if the characters are good
in a movie about a sport that you don't care about,
then it's not gonna matter. If they can keep you
entertained in that movie, the sport doesn't even matter. Like
you don't even need to know anything about golf in
(03:52):
order to even watch this movie or even like this movie.
It's just entertaining.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
And I would venture to guess that if you're not
a football person, the magic applies to like water Boy
as well, so it just carries over for something like this.
And I know, like I don't know what your relationship
is with golf now, Like I've gone golfing once in
my life. I like mini golf. I'll do that any
day of the week, and I see the appeal of it,
but I know it's just not something that's gonna be
(04:19):
Like I'm not gonna be the golf dad. I'll find
the You know, once you become like a parent, you
can attest it. You get like one of like five hobbies,
and golf is one of them. I don't think that's
gonna be mine. Crazier things have happened, I guess but
I just it doesn't click with me. However, this movie
absolutely does. It's it's timeless.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Yeah, I'm not very good at golf. All my shots
go either left or right, they like never go straight.
I think there's one shot I ever made in golf
where it went in. It was like a par three
and it went in and I went crazy, and I
never hit a shot as good again in my life.
I mean, I'm one of those guys who throughout time,
(04:59):
I I've almost hit windows. Just don't go golfing with
me because I need to learn how to do it better.
But I mean, my grandfather's golfing, some of my friends golf,
my in law's golf. My my dad used to golf
and then he didn't.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
My brother in law is really into it. That's who
I went with, and I enjoyed it. I had a
great time. I'm not saying I wouldn't go again, but
I know it's not going to be a consistent thing
with me. But you know, it's millions and billions of people.
That's almost not an exaggeration play it, so they can't
all be wrong, I guess. So you know it's for
some people, not for me, not for us. But this
movie is for us, so we'll start with what's the
(05:43):
overall theme in this movie? In your opinion, the.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Overall theme in this movie is something that is said
by by Happy Gilmore's grandma throughout the entire like end
of the movie. It is about being happy because well,
his name is Happy Gilmore, but he is not a
happy person throughout much of this movie. I mean, there
(06:11):
are numerous times in this movie where someone says something
foul in his general direction and he just wants to
whack the living crap at. Like, there are so many
scenes in this movie of Adam Sandler either saying he
was going to beat someone up. At one point he
breaks a beer bottle like to try to slit Shooter
(06:35):
McGavin's throat. He gets in a fight with Bob Barker.
It's just he just can't let anything go if someone
insults him, he's just going crazy because you know, I'm
a former hockey player and that's what hockey players do,
and he just it's one of those things where when
his grandma says, just be happy, just go to your
(06:58):
happy place, and he just is able to like sink
the most difficult putt anyone's ever saw it and then
he like wins. Not to spoil the ending for anybody,
but I think the theme of the movie is about
being happy, and that's what that's what Adam Sandler's character,
(07:21):
ironically named Happy Gilmore has to learn throughout the movie.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
I kinda so I almost had the same description, but
I gave it another word. I think like families the
overlining theme, because like, he doesn't care about being the
best golfer. If he could finish dead last in every
tournament but still make the money to save his grandma's house,
he'd be totally fine with that. So like I to me,
it's it's family mixed with teaching an old dog Nutrix,
(07:48):
because the first quarter of the movie is it's like,
I don't go I'm a hockey player. Like he doesn't
even fathom that he could learn golf because he has
a natural ability for at least one aspect of it.
And you know, so it's something to like when you
hit a certain age, you feel like you're locked into
that person and you can't grow and expand. And he
finds out that he has this whole other side to
himself that he never thought was possible.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
It is rather interesting that throughout that movie, most of
the tournaments that he plays in he gets like either
like bottom five or like dead last, like twelve thousand,
twenty thousand, thirty thousand or something like that. When his
bribes made it to the mid it to the like
(08:31):
the putting. You know what I'm saying, You've got to
like it. Just puts it in your head. You've got
to be all at putting. All of your shots made
it through fifty yards four hundred yards like he should
have gotten like eagles or or or pars or I
(08:56):
forget what the one between par and eagle is. Yes, yes,
but for the life and you don't understand how he
was how he could drive so far and still consistently
get last place, because.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
You'd assume like from the green, because that's you know,
the gimmick of this movie is he has this insanely
inanatability to drive the long ball, and then when actual
like golfing skill comes in, he just he falls apart.
So you could almost take like what would take a
normal golfer two maybe the guys that are you know,
(09:35):
on the back end of driving three shots to get
to the green, he's doing it in one and in
one case, he actually gets a hole in one, making
one of the one of the funnier quotes in this
movie is like, that was so much easier than putting.
I should just get it on the first try every time. Yeah,
dubs is like good plan, which more on Chubbs here
in a minute. But yeah, but no, that's a great
(09:56):
like plot point two of like that shows you how
bad and really what it comes down to is like
the patience it takes to put properly. He just does
not possess. Like he said, he's got this anger in
him and even as he like calms down as the
movie goes on. This could like when he later made
the movie Anger Management, he could have made it a
(10:17):
Happy Gilmore like spinoff, Like he could have just played
Happy Gilmore, you know, five years later in that movie,
because it's the same like Anger Management type situation. But
he gets to the point where he's like, man, I
really wish I could beat the crap out of that
guy right now, but I can't.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Oh well, I feel like in Anger Management, I feel
like in Happy Gilmore it was clear that he knew
that he had a problem with just and I like,
I guess this is like a fictional universe where like
the law never never happens. We could get more into that,
but like if you beat somebody up, you're probably going
(10:51):
to get arrested and have like multiple felties on your record.
But I felt like in Happy Gilmore, he kind of
knew he had a problem, but he just didn't didn't
do anything about it because there are no laws, there
are no rules in this universe. But in like in
anger Management, I felt like he kind of knew that
(11:14):
he had an issue, which is why he had an
anker management therapist, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
So yeah, So with this too, I think like we
live in a world where we saw a golfer get
arrested the morning of a tournament, the number one golfer
in the world, Skoty Scheffler, and he still made his
like tea off time, So like maybe maybe the laws
are a little funny.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Well, but he didn't, he didn't really do anything. Like
that was an instance. There was an instance where like
the police officer was just he was he took his
bob a little too seriously. Like this is an instance
where like like a guy falls out a window and
(12:03):
there isn't like a long period of time in which
happy Gilmour is getting investigated because in real life, like
we see what actually happened. He didn't push Chubbs out
the window. But it's like in the real world you'd
have like a flat out, like a flat investigation of like, yo,
what happened? And if we remember there is one character,
(12:29):
wasn't there one character who witnessed him falling out of
the window. Wasn't it the guy who shakes his head?
Speaker 1 (12:37):
I think so?
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Yeah, So like there was actually a witness to a
potential crime. We know that a crime didn't actually take place, Yeah,
but like but that could have been like, oh, you
can't play on the door because you're being investigated for
a possible crime, you know.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
I do think it's funny how they shamelessly like the
missed PGA guy that they use for this, like he admits,
like he does a lot of things wrong and if
anyone else did half these things, we'd kick him out.
But our ratings are better as they've ever been ninety
this guy, which really aged really well because that happens
with all sports leagues. Now, if you're if you're a
(13:17):
needle mover like you are guy, you know, so that
that age is that age pretty well. When we talk
characters here, there's a lot of like this is one
of the more fleshed out, like even the little side characters,
you feel like you know a lot about them. So
like for for favorite and least favorite character, excluding Happy Gilmore,
of course, it's hard to not go with Chubbs because
(13:37):
he kind of puts this whole movie in motion for me.
That for me favorite, that's an easy one. But what's yours?
Speaker 2 (13:45):
My favorite character in this movie. I forget his name is,
but it's it's Ben Stiller's character. Yep, the uh, the
guy who works in the old Folks home and eats
them all. Like there's this one scene where they're they're
like knitting. They're like knitting stuff for him that I
(14:08):
guess possibly he's going to try to sell this is
arts and crafts class or something like that. But he's
like treating them like they're like sweatshot workers. Yeah, and
he's like if any of them like get out of line,
like threaten death upon them. Like there's the one scene
(14:29):
where the grandma is like, can I borrow you for
some warm milk? And he's like, you bothered you for
a glass of shut the hell up, you know what
I'm saying. And then she's like she's like she's like,
it's time for your nap, but she's like, well, I'm
not tired. And he's like, well, if you do not
(14:50):
go to sleep, I will put you to sleep.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
That's exactly where I was going with that. That's the
best quote. If you don't go to sleep, I will
put you to sleep. And that's yeah, that's in there
for sure.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
But like the families of the client, he's like super nice.
He's like, oh yeah, I can't accept that twenty dollars,
Like I will take care of your grandma from the
for the the goodness of my heart. And then when
he shows up for like to see her again, she's
like looking uneasy. He's like, what's wrong? Grandma is like
(15:23):
from behind, he's like he's like, I'm gonna kill you
if you like squeal like mmmm. But like and then
there's like when they come to the old Folks Home,
there's like a woman who's like she's like it's like
trying to kill her, So she's like throwing herself out
in front of the car so that they're getting out
of here. Yeah, but like I totally agree, like this
(15:47):
movie is has such a plethora of great characters. I mean,
Shooter McGavin is just probably the greatest Adam Sendler villain.
Because you could almost because you know how like the
Karate Kid. A lot of people have come out with
(16:09):
theories that Daniel is actually the villain of the movie
because he provokes so much. There could actually be a
theory that Happy Gilmore is the villain of this movie,
because yes, sure, Juter McGavin has all of the villain qualities,
Like he's just a he's a huge jerk, and he
(16:32):
is mean, and he tries to buy the Grandma's house
at the very end of the movie and wants to
turn his room into a trophy room or his former room.
And then he's like but at the same time, it's like,
this guy trained his whole life to be this great
golfer and you know, win a gold jacket, and he's
(16:54):
the favorite to win that gold jacket, and here comes
this this new guy who's kind of like rash and
punches people and threatens people, and it didn't work at
all for what he had until like the last part
of the movie. You could honestly say that Seuter McGavin
(17:17):
outside of him being like his personality being like trash personality,
could it be considered like the good guy in the movie.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Yeah, because in his mind, he's like protecting the sanctity
of his sport, right, and he sees this this new
guy come come around that like really has none of
this skilled Like the first tournament they're in together, he
wins the thing and someone asks him about you know,
him him getting the hole and Woolan on the par four,
and he's like, oh, how do you do today? Oh
that's right, dead last. Yeah, he had a good day though, thanks,
(17:50):
Like he tries to dimit him as much as possible.
So yeah, in his head, like he is, you know,
everybody's the hero of their own story. He feels that
he is protecting his sport that he's worked his whole
life for, like you mentioned from this guy that's like
anti everything, you know, because golf, you know, this is
maybe relaxed more nowadays, but like it's seen as like
(18:11):
for the elites and it's more of an upbity like
upper echelon of people play it. And he's, you know,
this is his moment and his moment's getting taken from
him and really it comes to a head in that
last round where they're going back and forth and back
and forth and I'm happy we'll break the tension. Was saying,
you know what's crazy, though, You've been playing golf your
whole life and I just started and we're both like
(18:32):
neck and neck, and it's like that really must get
to you, especially when you have a fragile ego like his.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
Yeah, and it really like the only thing that makes
him the true villain is like him like just being
a jerk and the sabotage in the movie where he
hires the asshole or jackass guy to like run him
over with his car.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
So I had the Ben Stiller guy as like a
quote unquote side character because he's only in like three
scenes and if you add up his screen time, he's
probably probably in it for like three maybe four minutes.
So as a for a least favorite, true full blown character,
I actually have the jackass Guy, not because of what
he's doing, but like it's one thing if he was
(19:20):
actually Shooter's friend, but he's like a megafan that's just
driving all over the country. Like this guy has like
a pretty sad existence, right, Like he just wants to
like hang out at Red Lobster with Shooter and he
keeps like, you know, oh maybe next time, man, but
he's still doing it. So this guy is like no backbone.
He's clearly just like a super stalker fan. So it's like,
(19:41):
I wouldn't hang out with that guy. It's not so
much what he's it's only if like it was his
cousin or you know, one of his people that's getting
paid to do all these things. But no, it's just
this like kind of sad existence guy.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
Well doesn't he does pay him, He does pay him,
but he's not like but but he like he he
would for if he could, he hang out with Shooter
McGavin at Red Lobster exactly. The only thing that kills
me about that, that makes me not like that character
as much is the fact that he just says jackass.
(20:16):
You know, like like you can think of like all
of the hecklers at golfing events, like the mash Potato
guy and the light the candle guy. Yeah, there's like
he could have said other things instead of like.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
A jazz and after like maybe the third time, you
think they kicked that guy out anyway.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Yeah, but there's but there's no rules in in this
universe outside of the rules of golf right, and the
rules of government too, like repossessing people's unpaid taxes. The
grandma the only person who ever gets in trouble by
the law in the whole movie, if you think of it.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
And which is crazy to me, because Happy he had
a rock solid defense for his grandma, just like she
can't pay her taxes. She's too old, You're.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Honest, old, she's just looking at her.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
She's too old.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
The guy's like, it's screw old people. They suck.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
We could have done, we could have turned. You know.
I have this this script that I try to stick
with when we review movies. We could have just done
a March Madness style, sixty four different quotes from this movie,
and figure out what is the true best quote in
I think I give it to you go to sleep
or I will put you to sleep, because everybody has
said that. But what I have. I've limited my list
(21:35):
to three, and it's ones that either I say in
my daily life or people say in their daily life,
and they may not even know they're from this movie.
So the first one this happens. I use this a
lot when I'm playing beer pong and my SHOT's not
fallen when he just goes is that goal regulation size
or what? So people will say that, you know when
they're when they're missing stuff. This one, I'm convinced people
(21:59):
don't know from this movie, Like you see people like
Espn' like Lamar Jackson went for seven hundred yards and
dah dah dah, And then the top common will be
is that good? And it'll be like people use that
all the time. And I'm pretty sure it came from
this because you know when he's when they're moving the
stuff out of Grandma's house and the movers are playing
golf and he hits it four hundred yards away, He's like,
(22:21):
is that good? And then he hits the lady again
four hundre yards away. You hit that guy? He shouldn't
have been standing there? So is that good? Three words?
Very simple, but it lasts a legacy. And then my
favorite one friends listened to Edgeless Love in the Dark.
They do that's yeah, that's up there for me. So
that's my three that I feel like I've said the
(22:42):
most in my life. But what about you?
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Okay, So the obvious one, tap it in, yep, tap
it in? Because he's like he's really failing at putting,
and he's like, happy, here's what you gotta do. You
just gotta tap it in just taping it, just tapping it.
And he's like he's kind of like mocking the taping
(23:05):
it tap.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
And then he actually done, what else you got? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (23:15):
The other one is the obvious is okay, if I
wear on here, we already have go for it.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Uh, the pieces of ship like you for breakfast. It's
like like it's not just the I or no, no,
it's eight ship like you for is it? I ship
like you for okay? Pieces of ship like you for breakfast,
And just the next quote it's just like you.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Eat ship for breakfast? No, No, I don't. Yeah, great
come back that that that one, that's one A lot
of people they looks like the reverse Uno card on
the on the playground. People are like, you know, any
even pieces of crap. It's like because they kind of
used that in Sandlot too, you know, yeah, it's great,
great comeback. You know, he's not considered a smart guy
(24:02):
in this, but he's he's quick witted on his feet
for sure.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
And then I would say the final one is when
he's he sees he goes to his grandma's house and
she's like, what happened to that? This girl? Uh, whatever
her name was, And he's like.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
How how is she doing?
Speaker 2 (24:20):
Is she's dead?
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Grandma? She's just like car.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
It's like like, that's just these are just things that like,
you know, like when you're talking to your mom and
you know, you up with your girlfriend, you know, and you.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
Don't want to give her the whole story. Yeah, like
with the lady, he's like, oh my girlfriend fell off
a cliff, you know, Like he just tries to get
it out there real quick. So yeah, that's definitely a
way to get out of having to give, like your
mom or whoever, the whole story.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
She dead.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
She's dead. So favorite and least favorite scenes I would
try to. I deep dived a little for the favorite
scene one, the whole mini golf thing right that you're
gonna die clown and he smacks his nose off, and
then this hits home for me because so like my mom.
Speaking of parents, he has worked at a bank her
(25:13):
entire life, right, thirty five plus years working at a bank,
and I always wonder, like, Mom, do people come in
with big checks like you see on TV to cash them,
and she explained to me that no, those are for
show and they bring up but in this movie, even
though they're worthless. Happy he's just putting the big checks
in the back his r and just hanging on to
(25:34):
him for his receipts or whatever. And because he's like, oh,
write me one of those big ones. I don't care,
and like those are good for anything. But it was
just makes me chuckle. But he's just got a stack
big ass checks in there.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
It was really funny because like the guy wings gets
that is the only one to get the check and
he's like, hey, where's my check. He's like, only the
winner gets it. We haven't made the ones for the ones.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
Yeah, we mail him out in a week or something.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Nail him out in a week. He's like that's not
fair and he just leaves him all in his car
and it's like.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
Yeah, he's not cashing him either. He just wanted to,
I think so he can like manually like keep track
of how much he's made or something, because he's still
he still has not been given the money. It's just
he feels better about it.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
He could just you could just write down on a
piece of paper.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
You know, yeah, you'd much rather have the you know,
have the thing go so favor for you. Then what
do you what do you got?
Speaker 2 (26:28):
I would say my favorite scene in the movie, I
think I would say that it that it's the one
where the I forget what the guy's name is. He's
the guy, the the Fuckenstein looking guy who plays Jaws
in James Bond, who has the thing in his head.
(26:50):
And it's really funny because when Happy Giler sees him
on four because the guy at the beginning of the movie,
like Happy Gilmore causes him to have the giant, yeah,
the nail in his head and then like he's like,
I've forgiven you Happy, like I'm here to support you.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
It's like I actually like hard.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
All these all these people I would say, like I
would say, like people who you probably expect to be
like like stereotypical like w W E slash NASCAR fans
show up because he's just so exciting and he's just
like he's just like I forgive you. But that's that's
(27:32):
not my favorite scene. It's the scene where Shooter McGavin
he hits like his first like really bad drive of
the movie and it ends up in the in the
woods and it ends up on the guys like sneaker
his like his foot his shoot and he's, I guess
this is another like really good quote. Guys like, uh,
(27:57):
I forget, I forget what the guy says. But he's
like like he's like, uh taunting, like taunting shooter McGavin
as he has to hit this ball off of his shoe,
and he's like, I'll see you in the parking lot.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Yeah, and then his third shot or something, so he's like,
that's three, Shooter, and he goes, congrats, you can count
He goes, and you can count on me. He waiting
for you in the parking lot, and then he bends
his driver or whatever. He just snaps it.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
He just scares the guy. But the quote is that
at the very end of the movie, when the like
the tower thing falls and you can't you can't get
to the the whole, you have to play it as
it lies. In the Shooter, McGavin is like, that's not fair.
I had to hit a ball of Frankenstein's foot. You
(28:53):
will play it as it.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
Lies, which, like he said, he played Frankenstein, which made
it even better. So, yeah, right off of Frankenstein his
fat foot and then he and then.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
He steal at the end of I know I'm going
too far, but like the jacket at the end of
the movie, and and like he's chasing him like, oh,
that belongs to the mister Gilmore.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
And then he he's just like it's a funny thing,
real quick. Not to cut you off though, because you
mentioned the gold jackets. Obviously that's the pinnacle of golf.
Did you know this? And I'll thank rich Eisen for this.
When you are a golfer and you win a gold jacket,
if you win multiple gold jackets, you don't physically get
(29:32):
more gold jackets, like like, uh, I don't name a
name a really successful golfer. He doesn't just have a
closet full of gold jackets. They only give you one.
That's a little disappointing to me. I feel like people
should have you win five majors, you should have a
closet with five jackets in it. But that was weird
to me. I wanted to pass.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
Maybe it's maybe it's something where they like they put
like pin, maybe like put on a pin on our
jacket or something like that for each one that they
each one is that don't have to give them another one,
so it's just like, yeah, like this is me.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
I don't know, yeah, but I remember that was weird
when I found that out. Uh, what do you got
for a least favorite scene.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
I would say that my least it's this is so difficult.
I would say my least favorite scene was. I'm I'm
not really big on the the the scene where they
go on they finally go on their date. Mhm, that one.
(30:38):
I yeah, I mean I listened to that part, but
when they're just like skating, I'm just like, I don't.
I don't know. Like when watching Adam Samer movie, I'm
not really looking for like super sappy scenes.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
It kind of reminds me of Rocky a little bit
when him and Adriane go on the first date, except
that they both have skates where and now when Rocky's
just like jogging alongside her, But it doesn't mean that.
But no, I agree, like I could do without that,
Like this movie didn't need a love interest, but like fine,
like give her, won't give one.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
If you do have time later, I do want to
share gripe with the love interests in this movie as
it's well spoilerd is my least favorite character in the movie.
But we can talk about that later.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
I guess, yeah, I have. I have a plot holes
questions in facts sections so you can you can bring
it up in that least favorite scene. I'm gonna go
out and say it. Chubbs didn't need to die. And
I have figured out how you can still have the
situation where he's not there to help him in the
final thing. You can still have him fall out the window.
But here's what you do. You have him land on
(31:54):
his arm and it breaks his other hand. Now he
has a cast on one hand and no hand on another.
It would be funny. Maybe he's laid up in the hospital.
Think like Major League two when when the manager gets
a heart attack, so he's not there for the playoffs,
like do something like that. But Chubbs didn't need to die. Man,
that's every every time I watch this movie and I
(32:14):
forget about the like you know, he wrestles with the alligator,
he gets his head and you know he opened. Yeah,
I always, I almost always forget that it happens. Didn't
need to happen that way. I think it's funny if
he breaks his arm and he's got a cast in
a no hand, or he.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
Just spends he said, he spends all the last few
things in the hospital. Yeah, and maybe he gives Happy
a pep talk right before the last shot or something
like that.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
Right, right, that's that is the scene I could have
done without for sure. All Right, what piece of memorabilia
would you most want from this movie?
Speaker 2 (32:48):
I would say the cracker that cakes up at the
like to he basically, the guy puts his ball like
he he uses. He uses a cracker as a as
the baseholder.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
For the ball. Is that it's mostly a coin. First,
the guy steals the coin because steals yeah, yeah, and
then for some reason because now he knows that he's
learning that homeless man's learning to be a caddy on
the fly here, so he's like, oh, I need something
to market, and he has a cracker apparently.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
Would you have Adam Sandler signed the cracker or the
guy that plays the homeless.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
The guy the guy who plays the homeless guy, because
if you remember, he is the only Adam Sandler regular
who is in that movie. Yeah, he's the guy who
plays the main character in Grandma's Boy. Yep, he's funny
Devin Allen or something like that.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
I forget you mentioned the theory with like was it
a karate kid, where like, who's a real bad guy?
There is a rumor or a fan theory that the
person that happy is matched with in the first round,
the just be on the carousel, put in the corn,
go up down in a round. That guy is so
like you know, hippie Dippy and like he becomes mister
(34:08):
cheesel and Grandma's boy, where he's just like the zen
Master video game owner because he has the money from
playing professional golf and he's like, oh, I'm gonna start
a I'm gonna start a video game studio. So that's
another fan theory.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
With that interesting.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
But no, the Cracker's good. I think he's gonna be
stale as hell by now. I hope you haven't so
that like you know, anstone get to it or whatever.
I thought a lot about this. I thought, like, I'm
not a Bruins fan, but like the Bruins hatter jersey
obviously is Chubb's hand. I think it is too easy,
So I'm not even the gator heead two pretty common, right,
I'm going with the construction hat with the nail in
(34:44):
it and have it by the guy because Obviously at
some point they cut the hat out because the nails
still in nail comes out next week apparently. But yeah,
if there was a version of it where it was
the hat and the nail in it, I would want that.
That's what I would want for sure. So when people
talk happy Gilmore, what is the scene you think they
(35:07):
immediately go to, what is the most memorable scene in
this movie?
Speaker 2 (35:15):
I would say, I would say it's I would say
it's him his happy place, one of those scenes where
he's in his happy place and you know, the love
interest is in like fishnets and she's given him beer
and the grandma is like she's like she's gambling and
she gets all the money and for some reason a shooter.
(35:37):
Gavin is being chased by a little person riding like
a wooden horse dressed up as a cowboy and Chubs
playing the piano and he's like, your their eyes are
not DV you happy? I have my handback and he's like, sang,
it's only just begun on.
Speaker 1 (35:57):
The piano and his hand up in the music. It's
still playing. It didn't affect the music playing.
Speaker 2 (36:04):
Yeah, I don't mean say that would be this that
I mean, I know that's not one scene. There are
a bunch of different scenes, Like there's occurring thing Shooter
McGavin starts making out with the love interest to get
her name escapes me because she didn't matter that much,
or she shouldn't. She's my least favorite character in the movie.
Speaker 1 (36:25):
Her name is Virginia Vennett or Julie. Yeah, I think
that's it. I'm looking out to cast right now. Yeah,
so mine. I think when most people think that it
ropes back into like the Jackass guy. But I think
it's the Adam Sandlor fight with Bob Barker. That's what
most people are gonna think of with this movie. And
it's like Bob Barker only agreed to do this movie
(36:48):
if he didn't have a stunt double for that. So
that's really him rolling around and all that stuff.
Speaker 2 (36:54):
So that's interesting because when Bob Barker died, there was
a filmed between Adam Sandler and Bob Barker in the hospital.
Sandler was beating and Bob Barker were beating each other
up in the hospital.
Speaker 1 (37:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (37:13):
And also the weird thing is the fact that when
Bob Barker died, he was like in his nineties which
we mean when this movie came out, he was like
in his late sixties. My parents are in the mid
sixties and they don't look as old as Bob bark looked.
(37:33):
So it's kind of weird. Maybe he's just like.
Speaker 1 (37:35):
You, let's see. Yeah, you know, so the with with him,
uh you know, the joke is like, oh, you probably
deal with people that know all you want. Let's make
a deal. And it's like, it's the price is right, happy,
the price the price, and the price is wrong, bitch.
Of course that's the quote in there for sure. But
you know the point of price is right is as
close as you can get without going over. Bob Barker
(37:57):
left us at ninety nine years old, so is as
close as he could get without going over. So r
I p there the big Bob plot holes, questions, facts,
you can give your your disdain for for the love
interest character. I want to throw this out there. The
next movie we're doing, it's in the Adam Sandler trilogy.
We're gonna do The Longest Yard. And I imagine when
(38:18):
this movie came out, Adam Sandler didn't know he was
gonna ultimately start in the remake of the Longest Yard
but with Richard Keel mister Larson, the big guy with
the nail and his head. He is in the original
Longest Yard. He's the great colleague character in the in
the original one, and when he first when before you
meet Shooter and the limo pulls up, Adam Sandler is like, Oh,
(38:40):
it must be Burt Reynolds here or something. Yeah, he
plays reynolds role in the remake. And then Burt Reynolds
plays the old man role. So there's like Longest Yard
foreshadowing uh twice in this movie that like the way
they could have they could have planned that.
Speaker 2 (38:55):
Yeah, I'll go over. Is Virginia Virginia?
Speaker 1 (39:01):
What?
Speaker 2 (39:02):
Oh, Virginia something Virginia Virginia.
Speaker 1 (39:07):
The gripe that I have Virginia villain.
Speaker 2 (39:11):
The ripe that I have with this character is in
in every major Adam Sandler movie where there is a
love interest. She's hot and she has like some weird
thing going on with her, you know what I'm saying,
Like Vicky Valancourt is hot, but she's also a criminal.
(39:34):
You know, the teacher from Billy Madison, She's hot, but
she's also a teacher, you know what I'm saying. And
his teacher, his teacher, right, the love interest from mister Deed's.
Speaker 1 (39:50):
She's hot and she's.
Speaker 2 (39:51):
Also a hot reporter, you know exactly in what's the
movie Big Daddy. She's hot, but her voice is also
really annoying, you know what I'm saying, Like.
Speaker 1 (40:07):
She can't remember him.
Speaker 2 (40:09):
She can't remember anything, right. This character is just hot
that she doesn't really have any other like certain character are.
Besides the fact that she's good looking.
Speaker 1 (40:23):
Well, she the thing they have to get over is
she won't date golfers. And his responses, well, I'm not high,
but I will say this, I'm not I would in
no way call her not an attractive woman. But the
haircut she has in this movie does not do her
any favors. She's got that that was a very nineties
hair I know, before we knew what the Karen haircut was.
She kind of has a Karen haircut. But but yeah, really,
(40:44):
the only thing they have to go over is like, oh,
I don't date you know, I I don't think golfers.
Speaker 2 (40:50):
But obviously she ended updating a golfer because.
Speaker 1 (40:53):
He was a golf champions.
Speaker 2 (40:55):
He's a liar. She's a liar too, so but like
her character doesn't have any depth at all, Like she
like you said, she could be there, she could not
be there, and the story would I guess the only
thing that she really does if she goes to bat
for him. Yeah, and even though he should have been
(41:18):
kicked off the torah a long time agough, she's like, well,
everyone likes him and and he's bringing some new fans
into the sport of golf. Otherwise, nothing's really going on
with this character. And I feel like they could have
done without her or not. I feel like maybe if
(41:41):
she was just like maybe if she was a golfer
two that have been something that saved her character that.
Speaker 1 (41:51):
Or maybe another Not that I would really lobby for
more of her in this movie, but like another scene
or two where she's like fighting for him behind the scenes,
just so it really walks in like the only reason
he the only reason you still hear is Chubbs trained
him and because she's you know, bailing him out left
and right.
Speaker 2 (42:08):
Maybe maybe he's like his attorney or something like that,
and she's like mildly annoyed with him and his all
his escapades and all the the weird things that he
does and all those any things that he does, and
like maybe there's like a scene where like he gets
(42:29):
he he gets arrested for the whole Chubb's thing, and
she's the one who's like, I believe exactly exactly that's true.
That's and that's what allows him to go back onto
the tour.
Speaker 1 (42:42):
I'll say this too, what if, like the so he
gets about halfway through the movie, he gets a Subway sponsorship, right,
that's what kind of keeps him. God, yeah, he could
have if he didn't get in with Shooter too bad
to where he like thought to go to the place
and buy it out from under him. He could have like,
can I just sign a really creative Subway sponsorship and
buy the buy the thing with that money, and then
(43:04):
I can just be this crazy guy that you guys
wanna h market. You know, like that Subway could have
just flipped the bill for this whole thing. If he's
making them a lot of money, he's doing those commercials
and stuff, so that could have worked.
Speaker 2 (43:15):
Yeah, that's I could say. That's that's a plot hole. Yeah,
speaking of that is a huge plot hole in the movie.
Speaker 1 (43:22):
So, so here is my before we get out of here.
At the end, we're gonna give like our I haven't
even seen the trailer for Happy Gilmore too. I know
it's out, but I watched. I watched you give a
little insight. Then that's cool. But before we get to that,
because that'll be our closing thing, what would the version
of Happy Gilmore skill set be in other sports? Like
(43:44):
in this one he has a legendary driver, but he
can't put for shiit So is that like if he's
a quarterback, is he Tim Tebow? Like you can run
all over the field, but like can't complete a slant
route for the most part.
Speaker 2 (43:59):
Maybe it was like maybe it's like a remember in
that when the National League pitchers hit or something like
that could be a situation where like he's an amazing pitcher,
like he he does great pitching, like he's a perfect pitcher,
but when it comes to hitting, he like strikes out
(44:21):
every time.
Speaker 1 (44:22):
Yeah, he's like a cy young level pitcher, but he's like,
oh for forever, that's a one.
Speaker 2 (44:28):
Yeah, there were pictures who could hit home runs. I
mean we have, we have Otani, but that he's kind
of like he's kind of different in which he pitchess
because he can. Maybe it's one of those things where
it's like you're a tennis player and you can make
all of the routine hits, but you or no, maybe
(44:51):
it's you can make all the spectacular hits, but you
can't make the routine hits.
Speaker 1 (44:56):
It's like the guy in Major League two, the new
catcher they bring in. He like he can gun somebody
out second, but he can't throw the first for some reason.
Speaker 2 (45:05):
In basketball, you can you can make every shot that
isn't a free throw, but shack Shack can do a
three point.
Speaker 1 (45:17):
Like sha, but can't hit free throws.
Speaker 2 (45:20):
Or you could like any shot that you shot went in,
but you can't hit a free throw. So the obvious,
the obvious strategy by the other team is just to
foul you because you can't hit a free throw.
Speaker 1 (45:36):
Yeah, so a couple couple of different versions of that. Basically,
like you dominate in one aspect and then I guess
the other equivalent maybe is uh in the replacements, right,
uh uh Richard Franklin, I think it is his name
they got. He's like fast as all get out, but
can't catch anything.
Speaker 2 (45:54):
You can't catch the ball.
Speaker 1 (45:55):
Yeah, yeah, something like that could be the case. So, yeah,
a couple of different variations of of the hat Gilmore.
The he does this, but he can't do this combination
that we figured out there. So again, we couldn't have
done this at a better time, because less than twenty
four hours ago at the time of recording the Happy
Gilmore two trailer, I've seen screenshots. I've known this was
coming for two reasons. One, you know, I'm a wrestling fan.
(46:17):
Everybody knows that the watches this show. The wrestler Maxwell
Jacob Friedman, he's an aw who's a former world champion,
has a role in this movie. I don't know what
that role is yet, but he's in the movie. That's
why he's not been on Wrestling TV for the past
couple months because he's been filming that. And then I
watched the Rich Eisen Show a lot, and he also
has a role in that. I don't know if he
plays a character or this is gonna be like a
(46:37):
Rich Eisen segment in Happy Gilmore too, but he has
been the guy that's like it is filming. I went
and filmed my scenes over in this weekend. We shot
in this place in Georgia. Like he's been giving you
a little nuggets about it. So that's the only reason
I knew this movie was really happening and it wasn't
just a rumor.
Speaker 2 (46:55):
Well speaking hold on, speaking of Rich Eisen, you do
remember who the sports the commentator is in this movie is?
Speaker 1 (47:04):
It wasn't him in that in this one too, No,
it was Vern Lunquist.
Speaker 2 (47:08):
The famous CBS the guy who used to do the
CBS college football games.
Speaker 1 (47:14):
Okay, but.
Speaker 2 (47:16):
The jolly old dude like that comb over, right he is,
Because Kelly, it's that Verne Lunkquist is like a It's
like she she just thinks that he's like one of
those jolly old men who just likes it there, like
has that he kind of like that that that uh
jim Ant's voice, you know right, he.
Speaker 1 (47:38):
Does definitely has a very iconic voice. Thinking back, like
I wouldn't have known him by name, by Picho like
that voice, you know, you've heard a bunch and it's
like in you know, back to water Boy again, like
it's like a young Kirk Kirk Street. And then in
the Longest Yard remake they have Chris Berman and that
he could just be the new announcer. That's true, that
could be his role. I don't know that for sure,
(47:59):
so like I haven't seen the trailer you have, what
do you make of it? Like this movie it's been
it's been twenty nine years since this movie came out,
which is just blows my mind to stand or will
be by twenty twenty five. I would have been okay
if we never got a sequel, Like the movie is
just enjoyed and it is so to have it. What
is the general plot? Do we get that much? Or
(48:20):
is it just a teaser? Like is he training somebody
knew what's to do?
Speaker 2 (48:24):
It was from what I remember, it was a teaser.
I mean I remember he would like come out with
like these fake Happy Gilmore trailers or like these pump
up things with guy who plays Shooter McGavin all the time.
But this one, like you said, is the only Like
it's Netflix, Like how are you gonna fake? How are
(48:46):
you gonna fake that? But from what I remember, there's
a scene where Adam where Happy Gilmore does the you know,
like the rides, the rides the golf club. That's like
the opening thing on there. There's a scene where Shooter
McGavin is in a is in a is in a
cemetery and he's right in front of somebody's grave and
(49:09):
I don't. I wasn't able to see who's grave it was.
Speaker 1 (49:12):
I would think maybe Chubbs or Grandma to be.
Speaker 2 (49:15):
Chubbs maybe, but I don't know why, why would it be?
But he's in the cemetery's jums is the worst part.
Maybe it's one of those situations where like after Happy
Gilmore Shouter McGavin's life just went down the tubes, like
maybe he was. And then there's a scene where he
(49:36):
I think, I think Happy Gilmour gets married to Virginia
what's her face? Uh? This is don't care about this character,
but I guess they get married. There's a scene where
they're like in rocking chairs and they're like making out.
That's like, can really I saw it when you when
(49:58):
you send it to me, that is when I watched
it and watched it once.
Speaker 1 (50:03):
And your your reaction to it was what most people's were,
which was like is this real? Like, yes, this one
is actutely real. This is I didn't realize it was
gonna be a Netflix project. I assume it would go
in theaters like anything else.
Speaker 2 (50:14):
No, No, it's a Netflix project because Adam Sandler has
made a deal with Netflix.
Speaker 1 (50:21):
Yeah, like because he made they made they got to
watch movies with them.
Speaker 2 (50:25):
That Hub Halloween or whatever. He made it with Netflix
in twenty twenty. So he's got a bunch of Netflix.
He's got a deal with Netflix. I think he made
those mystery movies. Yeah, using Netflix, So there's a deal
that he has with that, and.
Speaker 1 (50:42):
That that hustle that basketball movie too, So that it
makes sense. I just like originally didn't think like when
this one became an idea, I don't know if that
was it's I think it's better. I think more people.
Not that I wouldn't have seen it in theaters. I
probably would have, but it's a no brainer to watch
it on Netflix, So I think that probably probably the
better move. So any any lasting thought obviously July twenty
(51:04):
twenty five, Well, well it'll be great because we can
like review with the same week it comes to coubs
right there on Netflix. That'll be great. So between now
and then we have we're gonna do Longest Yard in
the next month or two. And then before we get
out of your hank, you want to let people know
what we're doing on your second channel here coming up.
Speaker 2 (51:21):
So on my second channel, we are going so and
Phil wrote a comment on that last video and he
spoke nothing but facts, okay, and my wife and co
sign this whole thing.
Speaker 1 (51:40):
Yeah, to give more detail to that last part that
fifth I think he cut that last video into five parts,
and he uploaded the last part today. And the best
part about it being a year and a half later
is I forgot what we talked about. So I got
to like watch it for the first time and I
couldn't help, but like I wasn't trying to be a
dick or anything, but I thought it was fine.
Speaker 2 (52:00):
It's fun. There's nothing but facts.
Speaker 1 (52:02):
Because at the end of the video he goes, I'm
going to get these out a SAP, and I'm like, Hank,
I'm gonna put this out a sap. You know, Hank
from twenty twenty three. So it took a whole year
to do. So the stream is a great idea that
we can just it'll be raw and uncut and we'll
just get to talk Power Rangers. This one goes smooth.
We have aspirations to do the Turbo movie, maybe the
one from twenty seventeen. There's a rumor that they're going
(52:24):
to take another bite at the Apple and another Power
Rangers movie. So I will put Hank really yeah, we'll
talk more about that on your stream. That'll give it.
I'll send you the articles and stuff, so I'll be
putting Hank's regular channel and his secondary channel in the description,
so you guys. Well, and not to.
Speaker 2 (52:41):
Forget, we're also going to be reviewing the new Power
Rangers game, Rita's Rewind, which I will say is probably
the most difficult button mashing game I have ever played
in my life and still having still with it.
Speaker 1 (53:00):
Well, the problem with that is the game is meant
to be played. It's like an old school arcade game.
You're supposed to play with multiple players. We got it
on the Switch because that's the console that we both have,
and the online element to it hasn't been released yet.
It comes out in a couple of weeks, so it'll
be much easier when you have backups. So that will
another Well, we will either maybe try to just record
some gameplay and we can talk over it where we're
(53:21):
still figuring out we're doing that. But yes, on top
of the movies, Power Injurer game that just came out,
we just rewind, we do you plan to do some
stuff on that? So, like I said, all the all
of Hags both his channels. I'll put in the description
for this. Look out for his regular stuff on his
main channel, and then a lot of Power Ranger stuff
coming up too. So anything else said before we get
out of here, just be happy, be happy.
Speaker 2 (53:44):
If I can, If I can quote Bob Marley, don't worry,
be happy.
Speaker 1 (53:48):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (53:49):
Except sometimes sometimes if you don't want to be happy,
you have to I guess.
Speaker 1 (53:53):
Yeah, And sometimes you got to break up your bottle
on someone's head or punch him. You got to grab
the guys back of his jersey and punch him straight
through his own T shirt. Yeah, that's just a happy
Gilmour punch that he had there. But this has gone
out long enough. I want to thank Hank for being here.
I'm really looking forward to reviewing those Power Ranger movies
here and the game in the future. Again. Hope everyone
had a great Christmas. Hank, I promise this will be
(54:16):
up as soon as possible, hopefully within twenty four hours.
You have my word. So thank you guys for listening
and watching, and we'll see you next time. You Take
care
