Hey, buddy, I'm not paying you for your thoughts on
life, I'm paying you to sing.

Speaker 1 (00:16):
Well, I have a microphone and you don't, so you
will listen to every damn wordI have to say, because this week
we recommend the Wedding Singer.
Yeah, so, bud, I mean like themovie.

(00:44):
Yeah, is this his most like themovie?
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (00:46):
Is this his most underrated movie, maybe.

Speaker 1 (00:48):
It's not one that anybody ever talks about, but
it's my favorite of his.

Speaker 2 (00:52):
I had to watch this in secret because no one wanted
to watch it at home.

Speaker 1 (00:55):
Why.

Speaker 2 (00:56):
Not even your wife.
It's a romantic comedy.
She hates romantic comedies.

Speaker 1 (01:00):
But this one's a funny one.
It is a funny one.
It's like an actual funnyromantic comedy it.
But this one's a funny, it is afunny one.
It's like an actual funnyromantic comedy.
It's like sandler humorromantic comedy.
I don't know.
I love it, though if you thinkabout it, most of his movies are
kind of rom-coms.

Speaker 2 (01:12):
It's always him and some girl yeah I mean outside of
.

Speaker 1 (01:15):
I mean billy madison is happy gilmore, that's more of
a sports movie, but he gets thegirl at the end if you think
about like all of his characters, his main characters, they're
always kind of similar.

Speaker 2 (01:27):
They're like the, the guy with the really like
mentally unstable oh yeah, verymuch so in a lot of cases, but
it's also like somebody with areally good heart.

Speaker 1 (01:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
Who just is like a little misunderstood.

Speaker 1 (01:44):
Yeah, he's always such a little sweetie for good
reason yeah, because he'sabsolutely insane.

Speaker 2 (01:49):
That's what I love about his his 90 movie.

Speaker 1 (01:51):
There's something just so charming and sweet and
friendly, but also demented,about adam sandler's characters,
but especially in this movie.
Every time he sings you're justlike come here, buddy come here
, come here, makes everyone sohappy.
He's a good singer.
He's like really good in thismovie.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
Every time he's singing I'm like dude, fucking
put out an album I had his firstalbum, his comedy album yes, is
that the one with like the goatand everything on it?
Yeah, a piece of shit car.
Yeah, uh, the uh.

Speaker 1 (02:19):
Hanukkah song yeah, yeah, I'm me and my buddy
richard.
Growing up, we, we used tolisten to that a lot.
It was great.
We'd just be sitting in hisroom around his computer like,
ah, I remember really loving thegoat one.
Yeah, the goat was so good,yeah, so, and this is probably
what Sandler's most realisticcomedy right.

(02:42):
What do you mean?
Well, one of them, he's a man.
Child.
That goes, it'd be geeky bitchthe entire time and Billy
Madison still a great movie.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
I wonder if you ever knew someone like that real cool
.

Speaker 1 (02:56):
And then you got Happy Gilmore, a hockey guy that
turns into a golf guy.
He was never really a hockeyguy.
Yeah, it's like he was neverreally a honky guy.
Yeah, it's like, it's like umWaterboy just well.
I guess that could be realistic, but it's, you know, it's just.
This one is just like hey, it'sjust some down on his luck guy
that finds a girl that can kindof sing, but he's not super good
at singing, so he's a weddingsinger but he's really good at

(03:19):
making people happy.
Yeah, and then you got you knowmovies like Click Bedtime
Stories, you know where it'slike a little silly, I guess
grownups is probably the mostrealistic out of all this.
Middle aged men camping withtheir very attractive wives yeah
, that's realistic anddefinitely Sandler is best with

(03:41):
Drew Barrymore.
I mean between this and 51stDates.
It's like that's his perfectrom-com girl.
They're really great together.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (03:48):
Because I know he's done some movies with, like
Jennifer Aniston and other girls, but it's just like I feel like
he has no better chemistry withDrew Barrymore.
But that actually just might beDrew Barrymore, because she's
so charming and cute.
That is true.

Speaker 2 (04:02):
Right, but like A lot of her movies, I'm not really
into ET bro yeah, she's ET.
Charlie's Angel yeah, I didn'tcare for her in those movies.
Some of them just don't.

Speaker 1 (04:18):
I'm going to slap you silly.
Whenever she's with Adam.

Speaker 2 (04:21):
Sandler, it's always pretty good, it's perfect.

Speaker 1 (04:23):
It's great.
51st Day.
She makes me cry.
They all do.
Let's see what's I'm trying tothink.
Actually Never been kissed,never been seen by me.

Speaker 2 (04:34):
Good one Jesse.

Speaker 1 (04:36):
Fever pitch bro Her and Jimmy Made Jimmy Fallon seem
like a good actor for a second.
I don't think I saw that Peoplehate that movie.
I actually don't mind thatmovie she executive produced
actually Donnie Darko, which iskind of wild, isn't it?

Speaker 2 (04:48):
She was good in that one, but she didn't really have
a big role in it, yeah.

Speaker 1 (04:52):
I don't even remember in it, which is kind of crazy.
She's a teacher, an Englishteacher.
She's not a butterfly.
So she does like the sexy movieor whatever, let's see man,

(05:17):
she's a ficus Scream.

Speaker 2 (05:19):
Duh Scream.

Speaker 1 (05:21):
That's like, that's probably like my most like her
most known movie probably, andshe's like in it for five
minutes.
It's great, I don't rememberthat at all.
She's at the beginning ofScream, you know.
She's like oh, what's yourfavorite scary movie?
The whole beginning.
Yeah, it's been so long.
Oh my gosh, wow, okay.
Well, we're doing Scream thisHalloween, so I this this

(05:45):

Holy shit, now that I'm lookingat all our movies, I really
just know from like scream andthe adam stanley movies, that's
crazy, huh.
Well, weird, um, kind of makesme wish.
Um, we still did weddingsingers instead of djs at part.
Well, have you ever been to?
Uh?

Speaker 2 (06:00):
I've never been to one with a band, I've never had
a wedding singer per se, but Ihave been to a place that had a
lounge singer.
Really and he was really bad atit.
He was a good singer, but hewould, in between songs, work
with the crowd.
Yeah, and he sucked ass, hesucks.

Speaker 1 (06:16):
Hey, anybody here about 9-11?
How about that?
That would have been kind offunny.
I tell you what's not goingdown this marriage.
Those snakes are right.
Oh, that's so good, man, Ican't wait to get to.
That song has a very big partof my did not age.

(06:37):
Well, I will say there is somuch in this movie that's like
yikes dude, they wouldn't makethis movie anymore.

Speaker 2 (06:46):
Yeah, like when they're all grabbing each
other's asses.
Yeah, and like he hands thegirl that off to another boy.

Speaker 1 (06:50):
Yeah like man, oh, that's so funny, it's so sweet
though oh yeah, there's probablynothing probably happened, you
know?
Yeah, I don't think so.
Uh, we're not gonna talk thisis kind of fun.

Speaker 2 (07:00):
Yeah, this was a fun scene.

Speaker 1 (07:03):
So let's get into some facts.
Who do you think probablyhelped work on this script?
Jesus, no, but let me tell you.
So asked by director FrankKorkoczy.
I don't know.
No, no, he also did Waterboy.
So asked by director FrankKorkoczy.

(07:23):
Whatever, to polish the script.
Carrie Fisher, Princess Leiaspent six months on it, making
it her special mission to addheart and strength and dimension
to the Drew Barrymore character, Julia.
Thereafter, when she was askedwhat her secret sauce for script
doctoring, she replied make thewoman smarter and the love
scenes better.
Judd Apatow and Sandler alsoworked on the screenplay, so

(07:46):
Carrie Fisher and Judd Apatowthat's awesome.

Speaker 2 (07:48):
I didn't know she did that.

Speaker 1 (07:49):
Yeah, she actually.
She spent like a lot of the 90sand 2000s doctoring scripts and
stuff Like they'd bring her into add like comedy and stuff to
it.
Yeah, that's cool On a lot ofmovies.
I wish I had all those moviesin front of me right now so I
could tell you.
So there's a musical adaptationof this movie that opened at Al
Hirschfeld Theater on April 27,2006, and ran for 285

(08:13):
performances.
It was nominated for the 2006Tony Awards for Best Musical.
Is that not crazy?
That's awesome.
It won for Best Musical.

Speaker 2 (08:21):
That's what I was thinking.

Speaker 1 (08:25):
You could make a theater production of this, yeah
, yeah, it would be super easyand be hilarious.
Like I would love to go to awedding singer play and I don't
even like plays I do.
I love it.
I like being in the.
I like being in them not as amain part, because I like to be
five, five to six differentcharacters and then I just
mainly got to hang out backstagemaking it's just like you in
the same costume where they'relike changing out your facial

(08:47):
hair between the scenes.

Speaker 2 (08:49):
A lot yeah.

Speaker 1 (08:50):
I was always.
I just play like a bunch ofsmall parts.
I come in, be like guys someonetalks on the phone with that,
come out and I like had to killsomebody this was in Guys and
Dolls and so I got to like tooka phone call.
I was, and so I got to liketook a phone call, it's like,
yeah, I'll get you some stuff.
Now I go in, I'm likepretending I'm killing somebody,
Don't ever steal from me again.

Speaker 2 (09:09):
Bang, bang bang oh that was so fun.

Speaker 1 (09:13):
Yeah, so Jim Jim Carrey was considered for the
role of Glenn you know the badguy yeah, and Christopher
McDonald, who had played asimilar role in Shooter McGavin,
yes, charlie Sheen also was upfor the role.
Jack Black, owen Wilson andMatthew Broderick was all
considered and I guess thedirector pushed to cast

(09:36):
Christopher McDonald as Glennbecause of his role as Shooter
McGavin from Happy Gilmore, butthis was vetoed.
That's a big part of it.
Yeah, but this was vetoed bySandler, as McDonald in real
life is 20 years older than DrewBarrymore who plays Julia, and
he wanted a younger actor forthe role.
Mcdonald has tried to work withSandler again since Happy
Gilmore, but Sandler has turnedhim down, even though they are

(09:58):
friends in real life.
Sandler always insists thatMcDonald's will always be
remembered as Shooter.
Broderick was the next choice,but was rejected because Sandler
thought that he was too nice toplay a villain.
Sandler asked Ben Stiller, whoalso appeared in Happy Gilmore,
but he was busy with there'sSomething About Mary.
David Spade was also considered, but that would have been too
funny.
He was considered but wasn'tready to take on a big role in a

(10:20):
movie again because of problemson set in Black Sheep, which I
do not know what those problemswere.
I think there's something aboutthe guy in this one what's his
name?
Matthew Glaive, that playsGlenn that he's perfectly
douchey and nothing about himmakes you want him to change his

(10:41):
life and make him better.
It's like you know what?
Fuck you dude.
Do not like you.
You will never like you.

Speaker 2 (10:46):
I'm pretty sure he was the guy in Empire Records.
That was like the same kind ofdouchey character, but he was a
pop star.
I've actually never seen EmpireRecords.
Empire Records was pretty good.

Speaker 1 (10:58):
It's very yeah it's like a cult movie Like people
love it.
Something cool about this?
Did I like a cult movie?
Like people love it?
Something cool about this?
Did I say this was first theSandler's first comedy to gross
over 100 million?

Speaker 2 (11:08):
oh shit, yeah and it's funny because Billy Madison
didn't.
No, I doubt it.

Speaker 1 (11:15):
It made 100 million right here in my heart in your
heart my life love is BillyMadison.
It's great.
Oh my god.
She's like oh, we gotta watchBilly Madison.
It's great.
Oh my god, all right, she'slike oh, we gotta watch billy
madison.
And so we did.
And I was like oh yeah, Iremember billy madison, it's fun
.
And then, just immediately, Iwas like what I don't remember
this.

Speaker 2 (11:32):
It's on porno or a magazine day, yeah, and he pulls
up the women over 80 cataloghis fight with, uh, the penguin.

Speaker 1 (11:42):
And then, uh, oh, what's his name?
Tommy Boy, guy Blanking.
Chris Farley yeah, as theschool bus driver.
Yes, dude, he's the best part.
I was like I will run thisthing into a tree.

Speaker 2 (11:58):
So good and he gets shirtless and takes off his top.

Speaker 1 (12:03):
Oh yeah, Teach him the tutoring yeah, I actually
thought this was my favoritefact.
So do you watch the movieGeorge of the Jungle?
Yeah, with uh, what's his name?

Speaker 2 (12:18):
that's the guy I was trying to think of earlier.
I think I can't remember hisname, but I used to love the.
Can't remember his name but Iused to love the cartoon.
I was, I remember, beingdisappointed Brendan Fraser and
Leslie Mann's in that.

Speaker 1 (12:32):
Um well, originally they were considered.
Uh, adam Sandler and DrewBarrymore were considered for
Georgia the Jungle.
That would have been such adifferent movie dude.
That would have been wild.

Speaker 2 (12:44):
A different movie dude that would have been wild.
He'd be making, like BillyMadison, noises swinging on
ropes he wouldn't do, that's forsure.

Speaker 1 (12:58):
But yeah, I think this movie is just.
It's so fucking sweet and Ijust wish I lived in this movie,
it seems like a great world inthe 80s.

Speaker 2 (13:05):
You get meatballs from old ladies that girl.

Speaker 1 (13:06):
It's just, it's so fucking sweet and I just wish I
lived in this movie.
It seems like a great world Inthe 80s.
You get meatballs from oldladies.
That girl she crushes.
She's so sweet and she's gotlike the best voice.

Speaker 2 (13:15):
It's like Patricia Dow or something, yeah,
something like that.

Speaker 1 (13:16):
I don't know.
I absolutely love her, though.
She's so good.
I guess we should probably justgo ahead and get into the plot.
I can't wait to start justyelling about this movie.
But before we get into the plot, make sure that while we go
through it you try to figure outwhat's the point of this movie.
Is it just to entertain?
Is it just to make you laugh,or is there an overall messaging

(13:37):
to this movie?
So think about that as we gothrough the plot.
Which will we be doing rightnow?
So movie starts.
We meet Robbie, who dreamed ofone day becoming a big rock star
, but instead he has become oneof the most entertaining wedding
singers in town of Richfield,new Jersey, in 1985.
He only plays two weddings inthe movie called Wedding Singer.

Speaker 2 (14:01):
He does the Jewish one.

Speaker 1 (14:04):
Yeah, he does the bar mitzv.
Does the bar mitzvah?
Bar mitzvah and I love that.
What's her name?
George the boy George orwhatever his name is he like
plays the same song in both ofthem.
He's got one song, one song itwas a one hit wonder.

Speaker 2 (14:25):
You can call it that?

Speaker 1 (14:26):
yeah, so robbie bands includes george stitzer, played
by alexis marquette,keyboardist and singer, played
by randy razz and john vanna.
Um movie opens with like spinme right around um, you got
grandma dancing, um big ladyeating cake and kid drinking yes
that's with his friend.

Speaker 2 (14:47):
Yeah, I love how all like Adam Settler's friends in
their movies are like they'rekind of they're nice, but
they're just such pieces of shit, such pieces of shit.

Speaker 1 (14:56):
It's like yeah, if you talk to any of them, they'll
be like oh, he seems like apretty good guy, but they're
always doing something bad inthe background.
At Robbie's latest wedding gig,he saves the wedding toast from
being ruined by the groom'salcoholic brother, David.
David played by Steve BuscemiHell, yeah, he's so good he
looks at George, he's like Ilike her, yeah, by telling him

(15:20):
he understands love because hehas a lady as well and catches
the eye of a waitress at thefunction named Julia.
Yeah, yeah, so good.
I put prostitutes.
I'm a person too.
I don't remember what that wassupposed to be about.
I don't know, yeah, maybe hisspeech.

Speaker 2 (15:38):
Yeah, it must have been oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, he's
like hey, yeah, that was greathe talks about the prostitutes
like him and the groom I thinkthey were prostitutes, but I
don't remember paying them andthen, like he ends his speech,
like I'm a person too.
I'm a person too.

Speaker 1 (15:58):
I love that.
I don't know if you watchedlike there was a Sandler, he was
getting an award or something,and or is this like an
appreciation for Adam Sandlerand Buscemi came on stage and he
was like I'd like to thank AdamSandler for constantly giving
me money by putting me in smallparts in his movies and making
me do the weirdest thing.

(16:19):
You should watch some of that.
It's like it's reallyheartwarming and moving.
Everybody that talked therelike absolutely loves Adam
Sandler.
He seems like a genuinely greatguy.
Yeah, that's cool.
It's like he's Hollywood'sfavorite guy who wears hoodies.

Speaker 2 (16:34):
Flip flops to the red carpet events.

Speaker 1 (16:38):
Then George sings, do you?

Speaker 2 (16:40):
really want to hurt me.

Speaker 1 (16:44):
Everybody in the audience is like we don't know.
It's like, oh, we don'tunderstand the situation.

Speaker 2 (16:50):
We have questions.
Does his friends say likehorrifying or something, and
then, as you, said earlier,steve, his friends say like
horrifying, yeah.

Speaker 1 (16:55):
And then, as you said earlier, steve Buscemi's like
oh, nice, lady Robbie goesoutside to talk to his best
friend, sammy, who's eyeballingJulia, where he just goes
talking.
It's like it's like, yeah,that's Julia, oh, she's got it,
she's going gonna get it.
And she doesn't even know it.
She's like okay, cool, I lovesammy.

(17:15):
He actually might be myfavorite character in the movie.
Yeah, he's so good his outfit.
Yeah, michael jackson he justlike beat it constantly saying
the stupidest stuff.
Afterwards.
Julie and robert robbie meetoutside and they both tell how
they are engaged robbie to hisgirlfriend, linda, and jul Julia
to her boyfriend Glenn.
I can't wait till we find outGlenn's last name.

(17:37):
It's like the best part of themovie, noting Robbie's handling
of the situation inside thewedding.
Julia wants him to sing at herwedding, to which Robbie happily
agrees to Because they're notin love yet.
He's like, yeah, I'll do it.
This won't become like asituation for an entire movie
Linda's fiance, businessman andbond investor Glenn Guglia Hell

(18:01):
yeah, what a last name Guglia,guglia.
Has yet to set a date.
They have engaged for two yearsand now Linda is starting to
doubt Glenn's intentions.
This is where you'reimmediately like Sandler and
Barrymore perfect little couple.
Wish they married in real life,star crossed.
So Robbie is helping.
We cut to Robbie helping an oldlady with singing and they talk

(18:27):
about his upcoming wedding.
She asks if he's worried aboutsex on the wedding night because
apparently she slept with eightmen back in the day and she's
like back then that was asizable number feels like 100
now um, and then like as uh, youever find out one of your
grandparents was kind of a hoe.

Speaker 2 (18:47):
No, never talked to him about that no well, I found
out much later about mygrandfather.
He was in the korean war, ohway to go, paul.

Speaker 1 (19:02):
It is like in korea there's like a bunch of like, uh
, american, korean.

Speaker 2 (19:06):
Well, he'd be writing letters, and he wrote a bunch
of letters home and some of themwould talk about things that
were obviously sex-relatedinfections or something, Wow,
hey, by the way, did you give methis?

Speaker 1 (19:24):
This is writing like 50 different girls from Korea.
It's like no, that wasn't me.
I wish you didn't say this in aletter.
It's really weird.
It's like this is 10 yearslater I'm married, me.
I wish you didn't say this in aletter.
It's really weird.
It's like this is 10 yearslater I'm married.
I really wish you didn't sendme this letter.
And as he leaves, she gives himlike meatballs in his hands.
Hell yeah, it's great.
It's like I'm out of Tupperwarehere.

(19:45):
Take these and he eats it.

Speaker 2 (19:48):
That's a good meatball.
Would you wrap it in newspaperor something?

Speaker 1 (19:52):
I'd be like put it on a plate, put it in my pocket,
give me a bowl and I'll bring itback to you the next time I see
you, lady, don't put them in myhand.

Speaker 2 (20:04):
But it's great, she's so sweet.

Speaker 1 (20:06):
Yeah, so we learn.
Julia moved to Richfield so shecould be closer to Glenn.
Angie is Julia's mother andasks her to fake a pregnancy to
pressure Glenn into marrying herquickly.
Here's the thing this ladyshe's in Friends as Monica's
mother, oh nice Gives equallybad advice in that movie too, in
that show too.
Yeah, she's kind of a great badmom.

(20:26):
But yeah, it's just funnybecause we did Elliot Gould, who
is Monica's dad, and now we'redoing this movie because he's in
Ocean's Eleven Right Now we'redoing this and it's the mom.
It's great.
People really love that show.
They're in everything.
So eventually Robbie andLinda's wedding day arrives and
everyone is there except forLinda.

(20:47):
Bum, bum, bum.
It soon becomes apparent thatLinda has decided not to go
through the wedding, leavingRobbie heartbroken and
despondent.
It's embarrassing.
Just goes into his little liketent where I guess he's like
getting ready.
He's like.
There is nothing better thanAdam Sandler screaming.

(21:08):
It's like even in his newermovies, even though they're all
kind of bad.
When he starts to scream, it'sgreat.
Like Hoobie, halloween is verymediocre comedy, yeah sure.

Speaker 2 (21:18):
But it's so funny and I watch it every year for
Halloween.

Speaker 1 (21:22):
Just because there's the parts where, like, he's
getting scared all the time byeverybody, and so he's just
constantly like, ah, and italways works.
And plus, what's his name?
Tim Robbins is in that.
Not Tim Robbins, the ladies man?
Yeah, Tim Meadows, yeah, one ofthe funniest people alive.
Anytime he pops up in a movie,he's like this is the funniest

(21:45):
guy because he's in BrooklynNine-Nine and he's like a
cannibal, but like Jake Peraltadoesn't know it, and he's like
becoming friends with him.
And then he starts figuring outbecause he's like in prison
with him or for whatever reason,and then he's just like, yeah,
you haven't done anything thatbad.
It's like, yeah, I only atepeople.
And he's like, oh, and then,like, the rest of his jokes are

(22:06):
about cannibalism that's awesome.

Speaker 2 (22:09):
Walk the line.

Speaker 1 (22:09):
You never bought drugs of like walk the line.
You never bought drugs.
Stop once.
Oh yeah, he's the best part ofthat movie too, oh.
God.
So after the wedding is calledoff, linda meets with Robbie and
reels that she fell in lovewith him for his ambitions of
being a rock star and his bandbeing called Final Warning,
which was six years ago.
She reveals her concerns of theending of ending up being stuck
stuck in Richford, married toRobbie and raising kids in his

(22:31):
sister's Kate's basement.
Katie is married to Andy FrankServo and has two kids, tyler
and Petey.
I love Andy because he's gotlike the like I don't know what
you could type of hair you evencall that.
It's just really weird.
He looks like he should be aLas Vegas singer and he just

(22:53):
starts talking and it just goeson and on.
It's like I don't even knowwhat I was saying at the end of
it so funny?

Speaker 2 (22:59):
is it kind of like the, the big feather hair like?

Speaker 1 (23:02):
well, it's almost kind of like adam sandler's hair
, but like well, like his actualhair, I don't know how to
explain it.
It's weird.
And he's constantly got hisshirt like half open, oh yeah,
and then.
But like, the best part of himtalking to Linda is the
conversation, because at firstshe's like well, that'd been
nice to know yesterday.
And then later on it's likeLinda, oh, yeah sure, living in
your sister's basements withfive kids while you're off every

(23:24):
weekend doing wedding gigs at awhopping 60 bucks a pop.
Once again, things that couldhave been brought to my
attention yesterday things thatcould have been brought to my
attention yesterday.
Always so funny.
Oh, love it.
Um, so, yeah, uh.
Then we cut to glenn and julia.
Glenn is gives julia twotickets to vegas, that gets
married.
But julia wants a wedding.
Glenn agrees to a wedding inrichfield.

(23:45):
He seems nice.
Yeah, so far.
He's like that's whatever thiswedding's for you, anyways, I I
don't care yeah super nice.
We see Robbie sinks indepression listening to the
curable dude, of course causinghis friends and family to be
concerned.
Robbie's best friend, Sammy,attempts to get him to snap out
of it of his misery and playanother wedding gig.
I just got myself wet, that'sso funny, just simple yeah, so

(24:08):
funny just simple, quick one sowe cut to Robbie, who's in like
a bad mood, starts disrupting awedding toast in which he
insults the bride's father andbreaks into a dour rendition of
a song.

Speaker 2 (24:21):
Love stinks and this is where we get the quote at the
beginning the people in thecrowd who will never find love
yeah, those guys.

Speaker 1 (24:30):
The fat guy, the guy with the side or the lady was
yeah and then like all of table13 or whatever table nine, yeah,
they're like pretty much the in, uh, the entire, this entire
scene does not age, very mean,spirited, and it's hilarious.
Um.
And then, like, so he startssinging and he gets all like you

(24:52):
know the ugly people,quotations, um, singing, love
sinks as well.
And uh, then like the fathergets up and punches his lights
out, kind of the black and redwedding, kind of cool, yeah,
actually kind of the red weddingis very very 80s but and

(25:13):
probably wouldn't work now.
But I was like this is kind of afucking sick wedding I really
enjoyed it.
So julia meets with robbieafterwards and she's like who,
talking to?
Sammy is like who told him todo this?
There's no reason he should beat a wedding.
Sammy's like, oh yeah, I don'tknow, he just wanted to do it.
But then julia and robbie meetafterwards, hoping that he'll

(25:33):
still play for her and Glenn'swedding.
However, he now expresses doubtabout participating.
He's like I don't know, I'mAdam Sandler.

Speaker 2 (25:40):
I'm sad he's so fucking pitiful.
It's like drunk.

Speaker 1 (25:43):
He got thrown into a dumpster.
He's like oh, I was just goingto stay here.
Yeah, so we're at Julia'sengagement party.
Glenn asked Julia to do all thewedding planning because he's
bad at it.
Uh oh, asshole alert, he'sdressed like Miami Vice, which
they give him a lot of shit forand it's funny because it

(26:04):
probably was lame to like MiamiVice back in the day.
No, I don't think so.
Or it seems like there'sprobably like a Tom Selleck with
a giant mustache.
I feel like it was probably avery bro thing in the 80s.

Speaker 2 (26:15):
Yes.

Speaker 1 (26:16):
Versus.
Now everybody looks on it in anostalgia way.
It's like I saw it in the 90s alot, because it was like always
on something, and that's whereI saw it.
And then I started rewatching.
I was like, oh yeah, this isthe best thing I've never seen.
Especially that first episode ismaybe the best pilot ever made.
Between that and Lost, have youever seen the pilot?
I don't think so.
Oh, you should go home andwatch the pilot.

(26:37):
My movie has rules, dude.
So, oh, you're talking aboutthe movie.
No, this show, oh, this show.
Okay, never mind.
The movie also good, okay.
So Sammy and Robbie have funpicking on Sammy.
He's like because he's kind oftalking to her.

(26:59):
Then Robbie's just like oh yeah, I don't know if you know this,
julia, but apparently he wasgoing to give it to you.
It's like he's going to give itto you and you don't even know
about it.
It's like, oh really, what wereyou going to give me, sammy?
He's like shut up and justwalks away.
Robbie asked about weddingplanning and it turns out Robbie

(27:21):
knows a lot about weddings.
Because she's like, oh, I'mgoing to go to.
What did she say?
Like Marshall's or something.
It's like don't go there.

Speaker 2 (27:26):
She's trying to be a professional wedding planner.

Speaker 1 (27:29):
No, she's just got to plan the wedding and her fiance
will not help Glenn.
So eventually, robbie's spiritstarts to perk up and he ends up
doing a bar mitzvah, with Juliaacting as a waitress.
Oh, we still got George.
He's still playing.
Do you really want to hurt?

Speaker 2 (27:45):
me Whatever Adam Sandler wants to take a break.

Speaker 1 (27:48):
That's the only song he knows.
Robbie sees a sad kid sittingalone and makes him cool by
having Julia dance with him.
It's very sweet, um, and thenyou got like kids putting like
his hands on her butt.

Speaker 2 (28:02):
She's like what?
And Sailor's like yeah, hedoesn't think with his mouth.
There's a tongue in his fingers, yeah definitely does not do
that.

Speaker 1 (28:12):
That'd be insane.
Then robbie dances andeverybody's just touching each
other's butts and that's howevery party should end
everybody's butts being touchedeven his two buddy like friends.

Speaker 2 (28:24):
Yeah, they grab each other's butts.

Speaker 1 (28:26):
It's great so after the festivities, julia asked
robbie if he'll help her planher wedding because his advice
with the flowers was right.
Robbie agrees and him and Juliago out to the photographer and
he lowers the price of herpicture.
He's like we don't do picturesthat low and he's like I most
certainly know that you do.
The photographer thinks that thewedding is for them, so they

(28:46):
act like brother and sister.
At first it starts off likewe're playful and then it gets
like really aggressive and it'slike that's such an adam sandler
movie thing too and it's sogreat.
But I just love it because drewbarrymore's like just as much
into it.
Right, it's great and I feellike doesn't she do the same
thing?

Speaker 2 (29:07):
and um the one where he's a billionaire?

Speaker 1 (29:11):
uh, which one's that?

Speaker 2 (29:12):
uh, where adam sandler's the son of the
billionaire, or something.
Oh, mr Deeds, mr Deeds.

Speaker 1 (29:18):
I don't, that wasn't her.
Yeah, that wasn't her.

Speaker 2 (29:20):
She's on that.

Speaker 1 (29:20):
She's in 51st States and Blended yeah.

Speaker 2 (29:24):
I can't remember who's in.

Speaker 1 (29:25):
Oh, that's Wynonna Ryder's in Mr Deeds, I believe.
Hell yeah.
So next they look for a weddingsinger and this is where we get
John Lovitz.
It's the best.
He's very mean to RobbieJulia's like well, you just made
this decision easy.
You're not the wedding singer.

(29:45):
Something about John Lovitzit's like.
When I see him I'm just like Ifeel good.
I feel good about this wholesituation.
He's the best.
They're like running from theNazis.

Speaker 2 (29:58):
Well, they go to a Nazi museum and they steal
Hitler's car.

Speaker 1 (30:04):
And that's where you get like the kid.
I'm prairie dogging over here.
That was a big quote in highschool for her At my high school
.
Anytime someone I go to thebathroom, I'm prairie dogging
over here in high school for herat my high school, like anytime
someone had to go to thebathroom.

Speaker 2 (30:14):
It's like I'm prairie dogging over here.

Speaker 1 (30:16):
It's like what's prairie?
Dogging, it's like you knowwhen the prairie dog goes in and
out of the hole and it's likeah.
Yeah, I had to explain that tomy kids.
We have got to do rat race.
Robbie tells Julia he hasalways just wanted to be a
songwriter.
She encourages him to sing oneof his songs.
You don't know how much I needyou.

Speaker 2 (30:38):
I think he's really ahead of his time, I know.

Speaker 1 (30:43):
But then it's like better the best.

Speaker 2 (30:47):
Oh, would you kill me ?
Please, please, please, please,kill me.
I want to die.
Pull a bullet in my head.

Speaker 1 (30:59):
It's the best, it's a good song I remember when I
first watched this movie and itwas on Comedy Central and that
song happened and I was like Ineed to buy the soundtrack.
And I did.
I don't know where thatsoundtrack is, but I owned it.
But now you can just listen toit on Spotify, which is nice.
Yeah, but just I love AdamSandler's song.

Speaker 2 (31:21):
It's great.

Speaker 1 (31:21):
I wonder if he wrote this song or if it was just in
the script.
I like to think he wrote it.
Yeah, he did.
And before he started singingthat he's like I'm sorry, I've
been listening to the Cure a lotlately.
I like the Cure, yeah.
And then as like he stopssinging, john Lovett's, like
he's losing his mind and I'mreaping all the benefits.

(31:42):
Then he just like slowly goesbehind the curtain and it's so
good.

Speaker 2 (31:50):
What benefit?

Speaker 1 (31:52):
Because there's no other wedding singers, I guess.

Speaker 2 (31:57):
Trying to be like an evil genius, you know.

Speaker 1 (32:00):
I guess like $60 for a wedding, like singing at a
wedding, isn't too bad in the80s, right?
You figured you'd at least getlike a hundred or something,
yeah, A weekend.
Then hope you can do like twoor three a weekend, I don't know
, you could also work atMcDonald's and pay rent in the
80s.

Speaker 2 (32:15):
Yeah, that's true.

Speaker 1 (32:16):
That's true.
So Robbie and Julia go out toget ice cream.
Julie asked about Robbie andLinda's breakup.
She wants to know where itmight have went wrong.
He says that one time on hisfirst date, linda didn't give up
a window seat.
Whenever they're in his like,his first flight or whatever
she's like, she wouldn't let himhave the window seat and he's
like that's, that's how I knewit was not gonna work out, but

(32:38):
that's true, that's such a thingthough.
It's a jerk, yeah.
And then, uh, robbie, julia andsammy holly and julia's mom go
out and do wedding cake tastingdress shopping.
Uh, we see sammy tries out forlim driver, even though he's the
only one in town and it's great.
It's like it's like how did Ido?
It's like terrible, you stillgot to audition.

(32:59):
It's like it's like you hithalf the cones.
If those were, those were herwedding guests.
Like it's one of my favoriteclothes.
There were cones.

Speaker 2 (33:12):
Perfect.

Speaker 1 (33:15):
And then Sammy drives Robbie, oh, and then Sammy
drives oh, and then also it waswritten by Adam Sandler.

Speaker 2 (33:18):
Was it the song hell yeah that?

Speaker 1 (33:20):
makes a lot of sense.
That was great.
And then when they're weddingdress shopping, you got Holly
Julia's friend, you know, likekind of gets one.
That's like a littlesee-through and stuff.
And then George like picks theone that they're gonna actually
use and it comes out and she'slike spins it around and she
gets so excited.
So then, yeah, sammy drivesRobbie home and Sammy tells him

(33:44):
he likes her, he loves the factthat she left her jacket in the
limo.
He's like, oh, she left thejacket.
Oh, that was when we were doingthis and this.
And Sammy's like, uh, oh, sheleft the jacket.
Oh, that was when we were doingthis and this.
And Sammy's like, uh-oh, youlike her dude.
He's like no.
So then Julia and Holly talkabout the wedding.
Kiss, bum, bum, bum.
Oh yeah, everyone's going to bewatching.

(34:04):
It's like you don't want it tobe like a purse.
Lip kiss.
It's like it's your first kissas a couple.
It lip kiss.
It's like it's your first kissas a couple.
It should be open mouth alittle bit.
It's like it's like how muchtongue should I do?

Speaker 2 (34:20):
it's like she's like you should use your tongue.
She's like yeah, but like itshould be like church tongue.

Speaker 1 (34:22):
It's like church.
What is that?
We all know?
But then robbie comes in withjulia's jacket and then holly's,
like oh, we need to see whattype of kiss it should be.
It's like how about you twokiss oh?

Speaker 2 (34:31):
shit.
No, that shouldn't happen,holly, what?
Are you?

Speaker 1 (34:34):
talking about.
She's getting married.
So Holly and Julie has Julieand Robbie kiss and it's so
romantic and then I love, theyend up kissing.
She's like I just came to giveher a jacket and then Glenn
comes in Me and her kiss itdidn't mean anything.
And then Glenn comes in Me andher kissed it didn't mean
anything and Glenn's just likehe doesn't care.

(34:57):
He's like I don't care, dude.
It's like whatever.
Holly asked Julia if she can goout with Robbie, glenn says
Robbie should get laid, which hewill if he goes out with Holly.
And then you see Julia, she'ssuper bummed and it's like no,
this tangled web, we weave, soRobbie's always trying to get

(35:19):
his buddy laid.

Speaker 2 (35:20):
That's so nice.
Yeah right, he's like Maryearlier.
He's talking about marriage.
He's like Mary, I just want toget someone to play with your
ding dong.
Yeah right, that's the truth.

Speaker 1 (35:32):
So Robbie is helping Rosie with working out the older
lady.
Rosie, she's just like she'slike really strong.
She asked if Robbie isuncomfortable showing his penis
with a new woman.
It's like.
It's like I remember seeing youas a kid.
It had good shape, she rolls,plays as a girl who, who he
wants to ask out.
So he's like hey, will you goout with me?

(35:54):
No, your penis is too small.
Um, and then, uh, she saysyou'll know when you meet the
right girl.
It's not how you feel about her, it's how she makes you feel
about yourself.
Hmm, I wonder if this could bethe point of the movie.
I don't know, that's what I waskind of thinking.

(36:14):
So then Julia comes up.
Julia shows up and asks if hewill go out on a date with Holly
.
Robbie is bummed that she asked, but he says yes, anyways, it's
like I just got to.
He's just going to go out withHolly, hoping that maybe Glenn
and Holly get together so he canbe with Julia.
I don't know, figure that out,I wouldn't know that would be a

(36:36):
shitty plot line, yeah.
So Robbie eventually goes outfor a party with Holly, julia
and Julia's fiance, glenn atSpanky's man 80s clubs back in
the day they had the best namesdude, it's kind of like
Fuddruckers, yeah, even if youthink about like.
Toots is a bad name.
Hooters is a terrible name.
Yeah, what was the one with?

Speaker 2 (36:57):
the mountains, or it's just Boob Mountain?
Oh uh shit.
Oh yeah, because it's namedafter Twin Peaks.

Speaker 1 (37:04):
I went there because it was like for someone's
birthday party.
Oh, it was like Dakota's andthey're like, yeah, we're going
to go to Twin Peaks.
And I was like, cool, it's likeman.
I didn't know they had like aTwin Peaks themed restaurant in
Tennessee because I was thinkingit was the show Twin Peaks.
Then I got there and I was like, oh, this is girls in little

(37:30):
clothing.
I'm not going to lie, I wasvery disappointed.
I was really hoping for a TwinPeaks.

Speaker 2 (37:37):
It would be great.
Everybody's dressed like KyleMacLachlan.
This is great.
That would have been incredible.

Speaker 1 (37:42):
There's a lot of people dancing backwards in a
red room.
This is fun.
So at the party Julie gets sickand Robbie gets to see that
Glenn is anything but a nice guy.
As he notices, glenn has noproblem oogling other women on
the dance floor.
Robbie learns from Glenn thathe cheats on Julia frequently
and plans to continue after theyare married.

(38:02):
And Robbie also learns Juliawill be Julia Guglia.
He's like she's going to beJulia Guglia.
He's like what's wrong withthat?
Oh sucks, man.
Why'd Glenn have to be a shittyguy?
You know it's like I get likeall romantic comedies can have

(38:22):
to be that.
But I like when romanticcomedies have like a like the
guy, two guys are after one girl, girls already with a guy, but
like I feel like it'd be moreinteresting if Glenn was
actually a good guy.
Oh, and then it's just likeshit who do I pick?
But then I guess at that pointthe movie.

Speaker 2 (38:42):
The movie would be more about Julia though.

Speaker 1 (38:43):
Yeah, it should have been like a Julia movie, which I
guess I'm sure there's onemovie like that.

Speaker 2 (38:48):
Oh yeah, Like every Hallmark movie ever made.
Yeah, that's true.

Speaker 1 (38:53):
It's like and if you know any movies like that, let
me know I totally love to watchit.
You can let us know at the linkin our description or at we
recommend movies, a mailbag atgmailcom.
Um, so yeah, the the night endsand robbie helps julia to
glenn's delorean and then whenthey open the door, it's miami
vice theme playing.

(39:14):
Yeah, um, after everyone leaves, holly tries to hook up with
robbie 80s tropes.

Speaker 2 (39:19):
I know we squeeze in here.

Speaker 1 (39:20):
It's great.
You know, we didn't even talkabout how it's in the 80s, but I
think that's what makes themovie so much better.
Yeah, it's very nostalgic.

Speaker 2 (39:27):
Yeah, very nostalgic it's great Um.

Speaker 1 (39:31):
After everyone leaves , holly tries to.
He likes julia.
Julia and robbie areincreasingly confused by their
deepening feelings for eachother because, like he just
keeps asking holly things aboutlike does glenn like stay over
there?
Often it's like dude, he'sengaged like probably then
holly's like oh shit.

(39:51):
and this is where holly tellshim.
It's like she's only in it forthe security and money that's,
or just the security.
She doesn't say money.
And then she tells Robbie'slike is that what she wants?
He's like that's what all girlswant Protection and security.
It's like no, bro, that's notwhat all girls want.

Speaker 2 (40:14):
It's a connection, yeah.

Speaker 1 (40:16):
It's like it could just be being a good guy.
It's the security andprotection that people need,
right?
It's not all just about money.
It's like you can just live ina small house.
You don't need a big house.
Everybody, you don't need a bighouse.
Stop buying big houses.

Speaker 2 (40:30):
They're not worth it, unless you have like a giant
family and then I get it at thatpoint yeah, like 37 kids yeah,
or even three.
I feel like you need a prettydecent sized house, even with
just three.
Right, that's true.

Speaker 1 (40:41):
So the next day Holly tells Julia that Robbie doesn't
like Glenn and tells Julia thatthe only reason she's marrying
Glenn is for security.
And she's like no, I'm not.
It's like then why are youmarrying her?
And then she's got no answer.

Speaker 2 (40:56):
It's like great.

Speaker 1 (41:00):
And then she just like puts her head down.
It's like, oh, julia, you'restuck in a situation here.
So, uh.
Then robbie unsuccessfullypursues a job at a bank trying
to make some of that cash.
Um, you got kevin nillin,that's the bank guy it's great,
I love him julia likes him inweeds oh, I've never seen weeds.
He's in like almost all ofsandler's movies, so which is
great.
Um, julia's dismayed at hismaterialism because he

(41:22):
immediately is just like youknow, I'm just trying to earn my
chunk of cash.
You know, this is a materialworld, baby, and I'm a material
guy.
And he accuses her of the sameand she becomes angry with him.
She throws her gift for Robbiein the air and it's sheets of
music paper with his name on it.
It's like I fucking hate thispart of rom-coms.

(41:43):
Like I love, like I'm totallygood with rom-coms, love them
when the special gift isdestroyed no, it's just like,
you know, everything's all happy, like the whole time, like, oh,
they're falling in love, andthen it's like fuck why?
Why do we always have to dothis?
I want a movie with no tension,ever and people just falling in
love.

Speaker 2 (42:00):
It's the roller coaster of love.
Why does there?

Speaker 1 (42:02):
have to be peaks and valleys in movies.
Who made this structure?
Oh, I guess you know a billionmovies have Got you hooked, yeah
.
But then I was like I know,well, I just got to wait 10
minutes, I'll be back together.
Like every wrong crime, socrime, so depressed.
He decides to follow sammy'sexample of only having shallow
relationships with women, inresponse to which sammy confides

(42:23):
that he is unhappy andencourages robbie to tell julia
how he feels.
Um, and he's like like no onewants to see a 50 year old guy
hit on chicks.
And then you got the whole time.
You got the old man and they'redrinking next to him.
He just like ends up joining.
He's like all I want is asammy's I just want a hug.
And he just like ends upjoining.
He's like all I want is a hug.
Sammy's like I just want a hug.
And he's like I'm right herefor you.
I just love that.
This old man comes out ofnowhere and he's like I'm a part

(42:44):
of the movie now.

Speaker 2 (42:45):
Yeah, they're the same.
He's probably been through allthe things he's thought about.

Speaker 1 (42:49):
Yeah, and that guy's in a few like you've.
Probably he's not blue, is hefrom old school?
I don't remember.
Um.
So robble robbie grapples withhis feelings and eventually
decides to tell julia his truefeelings.
Meanwhile, julia confines inher mother and that she has

(43:11):
fallen out of love with glenn,has developed feelings for
robbie, the wedding singer, shesays, and bursts into tears
thinking about becoming julia,julia, julia.
When she cries like she,because she gets into the in
front of a mirror and she said,she starts saying it's like mr,
mrs, mr or mr and mrs juliajulia starts crying.

(43:36):
And then she's like, um, it'slike mr and mrs robbie hart and
she's like, oh, and she's likeit's like Mr and Mrs Robbie Hart
, and she's like oh, and she'slike all smiley.
And then you have Robbie downthere like, oh, no, she's so
happy.
And then one other thing I feellike the mom is really bad at
detecting what her daughter isgoing through.
Right, she's like I just gotcold feet, let's get out of here

(43:58):
through.
Right, of course, she's like,ah, you just got cold feet,
toots, get out of here, oh.
And then I love that the melodyto the song that he plays on
the airplane is the same songplaying in the background of
this scene.
Actually, oh really, yeah, the Iwant to grow old with you yeah,
oh god, dude, I might cry Iliterally might cry right now.
So, heartbroken, robbie leavesto get drunk and finds glenn in
the midst of his pre-weddingbachelor party, arm in arm with

(44:19):
another woman.
Bum, bum, bum.
After a heated exchange,robbie's like all right, I've
only fought one kid in fourthgrade, but I beat the shit out
of that kid.
Now I'm going to beat the shitout of you.
Old man goes to punch.
He's like eh, he's like doesnothing.
And then Glenn punches the shitout of him and then he mocks
them.
He's like I got punched in thenose for sticking my nose in

(44:40):
other people's business.

Speaker 2 (44:41):
It's like his weird little dance that he does.

Speaker 1 (44:46):
It's like his little hands are doing something.
It's like, wow, this guy'shilarious.
Actually I get why Julia ismarrying him.
So Robbie stumbles home to findLinda waiting for him wanting
to reconcile.
But whenever they go inside,passes out.
The following morning Lindaanswers the door and introduces

(45:07):
herself as fiancé to thecrestfallen Julia.
They just can't catch a fuckingbreak here.
They just keep like screwingeverything up over and over and
over.

Speaker 2 (45:17):
Ah, rom-coms they make me feel bad.
But then, robbie, it's justpeaking right now.

Speaker 1 (45:22):
I'm peaking dude, and all the screaming I've done
during the quotes were peakingthe audio, that's for sure.
So Robbie wakes up and, aftershaking off his hangover from
the previous night, rejectsLinda's Rejects Linda's wanting
to get back together, havingrealized how shallow she is
during this time with julia, andkicks her out.
It's like also take off my vanhalen t-shirt.

(45:43):
Before they break up the yearafter this movie is set, they
broke up.
That was the joke she's sohorrible yeah, it's all her
fault.
Yeah, so we see julia.
She runs the glen who issleeping off the events of the
previous night and tells him shewants to be married immediately
and she's like let's go tovegas.

(46:05):
And he's like, I love when shewakes him up he's got a pretty
funny face, or like he's gotlike what in?
Like leopard print.
It's so funny.
After the yeah, after the 50thwedding anniversary party for
his neighbor, rosie, to whom hehas been giving singing lessons
to, he realizes he wants to growold with Julia and, with

(46:26):
Rosie's encouragement, hedecides to pursue her and then
Rosie raps yes, hell yeah To thehip hop, hip hip.

Speaker 2 (46:33):
I love this old lady.
Is that the song he's beenhelping her with?

Speaker 1 (46:39):
No, it's like, because at the beginning they're
doing a little piano song.
It's so sweet, yeah.
So he goes to run to Julia.
Just then Holly arrives andinforms him of Julia's encounter
with Linda.
So Robbie rushes the airportand gets a first class ticket to
Las Vegas.
And you have the whole thingwith, like him borrowing Sammy's
credit card.
He's like I'll pay you back.

(46:59):
It's like, no, pay you back.
It's like no, you won't.
And then it's um, holly's like,oh, sammy, that was sweet and
they're gonna get together andit's a perfect couple.
I'm like, yes, sammy, he'sgonna turn his life around.
I could just see sammy havinglike a her sammy and holly
having like five kids it's likethey're totally overwhelmed, but
it's like a perfect little funcouple.

(47:20):
She's always so cute, yeah, andthat was end up being Ben
Stiller's wife for a while.
They got divorced but I thinkthey got back together.
She's in.
She's in Dodgeball, yeah, and Ididn't know they were married.
What's the other movie, fuck,zoolander?
Yeah, and she's also in friendsas Ross's girlfriend.
So on the plane, julia asksGlenn for the window seat, but

(47:43):
Glenn declines, but will let herlean over him to look out when
they get to Las Vegas like whata fucking asshole, dude, god.
And that's just like.
Well, julia, as soon as youland, be like Glenn.
Why don't you go get us a taxiand then you turn around and get
?
back on that flight it's like,oh sorry, I'm leaving, I want to
sit by the window.

Speaker 2 (48:03):
Do that like just get back, right back on the same
point oh no, well, you'll getlike another ticket.

Speaker 1 (48:09):
Uh, meanwhile robbie is going somewhere else right,
it's like I'll take it anyways.
Meanwhile, robbie is learninghow to be on the first.
Meanwhile Robbie is learninghow to be on first class.
Like I give him a towel andhe's like I don't know what to
do with this.
These people like putting it ontheir face because it's a warm

(48:31):
towel.
It's funny.
He notices Billy Idol on theplane.
He starts telling some of thepassengers about his story and
it's like we'll cut back toJulia and Glenn and it's like
they did something dumb orwhatever.
Or it's like she gets hit bythe car.
She's like, ooh, could you askhim for a drink when you come
back.
And then it cuts back to Robbieand then all of a sudden

(48:51):
everybody is around him Like onfirst class.
Even Billy Otto's like, oh man,she shouldn't be with Glenn,
she should be with you.
So after telling his story tothe empathetic fellow passengers
, which include Billy Otto,robbie learns that Glenn and
Julie are on the same flightBecause, like one of the
stewardess come back.
It's like this guy just triedto hit on me and asked me to go

(49:11):
to the bathroom to join the MileHigh Club.
Then you have the one lady infirst class.
What's the Mile High club?
Billy Idol's like eee.
And with the help of Billy Idoland the flight crew over the
loudspeaker, he sings a song hehas written called Grow Old With
you, dedicated to Julia, and Ilove that.
Billy Idol's like we have afirst class passenger who's

(49:34):
going to sing to girl and coach,and since we let our first
class passengers do whateverthey like, we're going to let to
girl and coach.
And since we let our firstclass passengers do whatever
they like, we're gonna let thishappen.
Then he comes out and it's afucking great sweet song.
Me and my wife we watched itearlier this year.
We're both like gagging.
This is this is a good movie, Idon't know.

(49:56):
It's just like a really sweetsong and Adam Sandler is kind of
a good singer and DrewBarrymore just crushes the happy
tears and then Glenn startsgetting all pissed.
He's like I'm going to beat theshit out of him and he like
runs into Billy, like people arepushing the carts into him.
Then he goes the other aisleand then it's Billy Idol pushing
a cart.
And he's like get out of my way,billy idol.
Then a guy with a billy autoshirt shirt stands up.

(50:18):
He's like a biker guy's like.
Nobody talks to billy idol thatway.
Uh, it's so funny and so sweetand it's almost too sweet.

Speaker 2 (50:29):
It's oh no, it's not sweet enough that jane on to my
young, uh, to my daughter.

Speaker 1 (50:34):
She every time she's watching anything and there's
any hint of a relationship likelove or anything like that she
just gets completely disgusted,that's so funny because I like
well, we watch shows and stufflike, no matter what, it is guy
girl talking to each other, girlgirl talking to each other, guy
guy talking to each other andI'm like, hey, this is kind of
sweet.
I'm like, kiss, everybodyshould just be kissing in the

(50:57):
show.
Sometimes it'd be like that.

Speaker 2 (51:01):
I like to think.

Speaker 1 (51:02):
I'm a romantic, especially when it comes to my
movies.
So as Robbie enters the maincabin scene, glenn tries to
assault him.
We already talked about allthat.
And then Robbie and Julia admittheir love for each other and
share a kiss.
Billy, impressed by Robbie'ssong, offers to tell his record
company executives about him.
And then later, robbie andJulia are married and a band led

(51:25):
by Robbie's friend Bushimiperforms at their wedding.
The end Aww.
So, jason, now that we wentthrough the plot of Wedding
Singer, what's the point?
What's the point?

Speaker 2 (51:37):
What's the?

Speaker 1 (51:38):
point of this movie.

Speaker 2 (51:40):
That love stinks.

Speaker 1 (51:43):
Sometimes in a good way.

Speaker 2 (51:46):
I think it's just Sometimes you got to leave the
window rolled up so you don'tlet the stink out.

Speaker 1 (51:50):
I think it's just like the movie's just trying to
tell us.
This is like you don't knowwhen you're going to find love,
but when you find it, you knowit and you have to go for it.
You have to get it Because whensomeone makes you feel as good
about yourself as you feel aboutthem, that's when you know it's
a good relationship.
It's like a disease and plus,it's about growing up, learning

(52:12):
how to be an adult.
I feel like that's all AdamSandler movies are about
learning how to be an adult.
That is true, yeah, even thoughhe's the most adult in this one
.
But he lives in a basement andstuff.
He's got no steady job, but hefound the one girl.
That's like, hey, you don'thave to have a steady job, we
could live in a box and I'd loveyou.
We'd just be happy Until you'relike 45, living in a basement.

(52:36):
Then you might be like man.

Speaker 2 (52:38):
Well, if it was my sister's basement, that wouldn't
be too bad, it's like, did Ijust really like his haircut?

Speaker 1 (52:42):
It's like I don't know.
It's like, hmm, well, I thinklike this in the 90s, right?
But yeah, that's why I kind ofthink the point is, just like
you know, learning how to findlove, learning how to be in love
, going and getting what youwant.
Expressing going and gettingwhat you want.

(53:03):
So expressing yourself throughmusic, music, yeah, because
that's how you win every girl'sheart.

Speaker 2 (53:05):
That's why everybody in the 90s play guitar.
Yeah, hell, yeah, like the kidin the barbie movie.
Yeah, we're on the beach.
I love that they all broughtdifferent, or like some of them
brought different instruments.
Yeah, um, anyway, differentmovie.

Speaker 1 (53:23):
I'm trying to think there was something I was
watching where it's just like aguy brings a guitar and people
are like, oh no, he fuckingbrought a guitar is that a movie
?
We did on this podcast.

Speaker 2 (53:31):
I don't know.
Remember the one in AnimalHouse.
I've only seen Animal Houseonce this guy's playing a guitar
to the girls and he grabs itand smashes it.
Yeah, that's.

Speaker 1 (53:40):
I've only seen Animal House once.

Speaker 2 (53:40):
This guy's playing guitar to the girls and he grabs
it and smashes it.
That's great.
That's one of the funniestscenes.

Speaker 1 (53:46):
I remember watching that movie and I was like these
guys are mean.

Speaker 2 (53:50):
I'd be one of the people that are getting all the
shit from these guys.

Speaker 1 (53:54):
I don't like these guys.
Same.
So you know.
All right, we're going to cutto our next category.
It's called the good, the bad,the ugly, the fine.
It's where we discuss the goodof the film something we liked.
The bad of the film, somethingwe didn't like.
The ugly, something that didn'tage well plenty.
The fine, something that didage well.
What do you got for the good?
The songs, yeah, heck, yeah.

(54:16):
Mine was just like how sweetthe ending is.
You said it was too sweet.
I said give me more sugar, poursome sugar on me.
So I was like it gets to theending and I'm like Natalie, get
the bag of sugar Just going topour it on myself.
I'm going to get the betas.
Yeah, all right, what do yougot for the bad?

Speaker 2 (54:37):
I don't know, I didn't really have anything for
the bad.

Speaker 1 (54:42):
It kind of wraps up really quickly at the end.
Yeah, it feels like it's rushed.
It's really rushed, like oncewe get to the 50th anniversary
for Rosie, it's just like it'slike just cutting Like whoa,
calm down, let us live in thismoment.
It's like seem like they'relike I feel like a lot of

(55:04):
romantic comedies do that.
It is felt like maybe theproducers were, before we run
out of money, saying like wewant this to be like an hour 30.
Exactly, so you have to cut 10minutes from it, because then
they get to the wedding and it'slike there's no fun wedding
shenanigans.

Speaker 2 (55:16):
It's just it's just.

Speaker 1 (55:17):
We just see David singing.
I shenanigans.
It's just.
It's just david.
We just see david singing.
I really felt like we couldhave had a little more sammy and
holly being like a conversationor something.

Speaker 2 (55:27):
It just I don't know.
It felt like it could have beenan hour 49, an hour 29.
Yeah, you know they wanted toget married immediately.
Yeah, it's yeah, that's true.
Well, no, that was linda, nevermind yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (55:35):
So I just wonder like I wonder if they how much they
cut out of it at the end Becauseit really felt like it.
Sure, still a little perfectman, all right, the Ugly I put
the fat and ugly shaming in.
Yeah, that sucks the potential.
I don't know about AlexisArquette, the girl who plays
George, but I don't know whatgender she identifies as.

(55:58):
But it seemed like they wasmaking jokes about it, but they
were like we don't know how tomake a joke about it Right, it
was, yeah, this was 1998.
But yeah, there's a lot of theclassic Adam Sandler meat
spirited jokes.
Sure, but Everybody loved it.
We all laugh at it.

Speaker 2 (56:15):
They all laugh at it.
Yeah, it's like.
I mean at it, still laugh at it.
Yeah, it's like I mean it's nothis worst one.

Speaker 1 (56:22):
Yeah, um, you got anything?
No, not really.
It's pretty much the same stuff.

Speaker 2 (56:27):
Well, yeah, uh sucks on women day jerks yeah sorry,
that's the thing that happensaround here.

Speaker 1 (56:36):
often there's the earthquake, it's like oh yeah,
you know, tectonic platesshifting, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (56:40):
Sweet right under your house.

Speaker 1 (56:42):
That must be comfortable, but yeah, I think
it happens everywhere that I'velived, though, like even in
Murfreesboro, andean I can'tbelieve you didn't know about it
until you came over to my house.
Yeah, I haven't felt them, god,I really do prefer movies,

(57:04):
romantic comedies and stuffwhere the the bad guy is like
the guy.
I just they don't always haveto be such obvious dicks Right,
like sometimes I wish that theywere more like likable in their
own way, like not just forbecause they're funny, but just
because it's like it's actuallynot a bad guy.

(57:25):
I just feel like it add like amore interesting elements to
rom-coms Right yeah.

Speaker 2 (57:27):
They just don't work well together, even though
they're both good people.

Speaker 1 (57:31):
Yeah, or she does like them, it's just like not
the one, it's like it's.

Speaker 2 (57:44):
I guess that would make it a little more too tragic
for the other guy and then it's, but it's just like you want it
to kind of be a clean break.
Yeah, but I I guess I just likeit to be a little more
interesting that way, um kind oflike, uh, tom hanks getting
lost on the in the ocean?

Speaker 1 (57:50):
yeah, cast away cast away.

Speaker 2 (57:50):
That's kind of like how that was yeah.

Speaker 1 (57:52):
Well, yeah, because it's like his, his wife ends up
getting remarried and then hegoes and it's like, well, I
don't know what to do anymore.

Speaker 2 (57:59):
Yeah you kind of peaced out, so I moved on, yeah
um.

Speaker 1 (58:05):
So what do you have for the fine?

Speaker 2 (58:08):
man, I think we should bring back wedding
singers and we had, because thelast wedding I went to we had uh
, they didn't have a weddingsinger yeah, they did have
someone that kind of coordinatedthe activity like the fun yeah
Of the evening.
Yeah, I mean I really If hesang Hell yeah.
If you could get.

Speaker 1 (58:27):
Adam Sandler as your God dang wedding singer.
That would be the best weddingin the history of weddings and I
would not have an issue withthat, obviously.
That would be amazing.

Speaker 2 (58:38):
Like this dude was so charismatic, he got me to dance
, and I hate dancing, linedancing.
It was a line dancing thing.
They were trying to getnobody's going on dance floor.
Yeah, of course he points at myass.

Speaker 1 (58:49):
Yeah and people were like we're, if jason starts
dancing, we'll start dancing,but it's like no one gets jason
at the same time.

Speaker 2 (58:58):
I can't back out.
It's my brother-in-law'swedding.
You have to do it.

Speaker 1 (59:02):
I'd be like bye guys, I'm out.

Speaker 2 (59:05):

After everyone started dancing,I dipped out.

Speaker 1 (59:08):
It's like, you know what my job here is done.
Everybody's going to rememberthat this was all me.
I slow walked, my find wasSandler and Barrymore.
They're so sweet together andthey're very lovable and a
perfect onscreen couple.
Yeah, yeah.
