Corey Haines (00:00)
get set, go.
Nick Loudon (00:00)
Okay. ⁓ Hello, everyone. Welcome to the break room. ⁓ We are going to be discussing ⁓ something that's near and dear to Zach's heart, not mine, as you will discover. And that is ⁓ we're going to be talking about the filmography of Adam Sandler. Okay. So his greatest roles, his greatest achievements and our opinions, maybe even his worst roles or his worst achievements. ⁓
Zach, you know you had this idea you want to talk about Adam Sandler, not me, okay? So what do you got here, huh?
Zach Stevens (00:35)
All,
all I wanted to hear was what's, which one in your opinion is the best Adam Sandler movie? And I know what mine is, but I don't know what either of you would pick. My choice would be the water boy. Cause I think that that's the absolute best choice. It's one of reasons that. Continually the most in character and has some of the best quotes inside of it.
Corey Haines (00:58)
This makes a lot of sense for your sense of humor. Like this is like, it just clicked for me that like, yep, this would make sense that you would love Adam Sandler. ⁓ Just like his combination of like slapstick, pretending to be retard, doing wacky stuff. I don't know. Like it's just kind of everything about your humor.
Zach Stevens (01:06)
Why is that?
Alright. Where's me?
Nick Loudon (01:20)
You're so slapstick,
Corey Haines (01:20)
The
impersonations, yeah, yeah.
Nick Loudon (01:23)
⁓
Zach Stevens (01:25)
Mm-hmm.
Nick Loudon (01:25)
I there's a bunch of them that I haven't seen and I feel like that will be an offense unto Zach. Like I haven't seen water boy. I haven't seen is it called Billy Madison?
Zach Stevens (01:31)
That's your problem.
Corey Haines (01:35)
Really?
Zach Stevens (01:38)
Bro, what are you doing?
Nick Loudon (01:40)
What am I?
⁓ dude, you gotta go watch Billy Madison. Okay, so that's my pick is happy Gilmore. have Gilmore I have seen and it's fantastic. I I've seen 50 first dates. That's a good one. I have not seen Big Daddy. I and I like I like movies. I watch a lot of movies. This just like for some reason Adam Sandler movies never enter the realm of like
Corey Haines (01:42)
Happy Go-Morning!
Zach Stevens (01:49)
The Wedding Singer, 51st 8th.
Big Daddy.
Mr. Deeds?
Nick Loudon (02:05)
my options when I'm selecting movies. Okay, dude. Okay, no. Anyway, my pick is Happy Gilmore. It's a great movie. And it, okay, well, it's okay. All right, fine.
Zach Stevens (02:07)
You're just anti-semitic. That's what it is.
He's not, Nick is not, Nick is not anti-Semitic.
Corey Haines (02:14)
He can't, Nick is Jewish, so it's impossible for him.
Zach Stevens (02:22)
Yeah, it's your default choice. ⁓
It's a choice.
It's a great choice. fantastic film. Corey, bring it home. Please give me something to work with.
Nick Loudon (02:30)
Corey.
Corey Haines (02:33)
⁓ Dude, I click is one of my all-time favorite movies. I wouldn't say I'm Like a ⁓ Adam Sandler, you know aficionado or super fan by any means ⁓ but like I actually think that click is a really phenomenal story and Like that's one of the only movies ever made me cry. I like love click I
Zach Stevens (02:37)
Mmm.
Nick Loudon (02:53)
No way.
Zach Stevens (02:54)
It's super good.
Nick Loudon (02:56)
What happens in Click that makes you cry? Please spoil it.
Corey Haines (02:59)
Duh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Zach Stevens (02:59)
Dude, it's,
Nick Loudon (03:01)
I'll just look it up. I'll look it up.
Zach Stevens (03:01)
you should watch it. No, you should watch it. Click's a great film.
Corey Haines (03:03)
Go watch it with Brittany.
Dude, it's really, really good. ⁓ It's like one of those where it gets you thinking, know, makes you reevaluate your whole life.
Zach Stevens (03:12)
It's out.
It's allegorical for sure. Like Odyssey, Iliad, Click, and Shrek might be in there too, but yeah.
Nick Loudon (03:14)
Okay, so he can rewind.
Okay, can I just tell you what the message is
before I've even seen that movie? He has control over time, the message of the movie. So he can fast forward, can rewind, he can do all this stuff. At the end, he realizes that life was always meant to be lived in regular, real time. that you...
Corey Haines (03:25)
the message.
Zach Stevens (03:26)
Yeah.
Nick Loudon (03:38)
by rewinding your like reliving things and you're making them not as special and by fast forwarding, you're skipping over the little minutia that makes life worth living.
That's it.
Zach Stevens (03:48)
Yeah, but he learns about it in a way cooler way.
Corey Haines (03:51)
Yeah, a way better way,
yeah.
Nick Loudon (03:54)
Okay. Whatever dude. If I could predict like what it's about plot twist, there's a second remote. He's on the wrong input. Runs out of batteries. Okay. Well, thank you.
Zach Stevens (03:55)
whiz
Corey Haines (03:56)
Well, there's also a plot twist, so.
Zach Stevens (03:58)
Mm-hmm.
Corey Haines (04:00)
Yeah. the wrong input. Wrong life.
⁓ Now
I love click I've actually really want to see a new movie that came out I think last year called space man. That's all on my list. I still haven't seen yet Because it's about space and I like every movie that has to do with space and I actually really liked hustle which has Anthony Edwards in it. So Nick you would like it because you know basketball and stuff. yeah. Okay. Yeah, I like to hustle a lot and ⁓
Zach Stevens (04:18)
Hmm.
Nick Loudon (04:28)
I've seen hustle. It's okay.
Corey Haines (04:37)
I've seen Happy Gilmore. I like it. I wouldn't say it's like, you know, one of my favorites ever. Same with the water boy. I've seen quite a few because my best friend growing up was also like a, ⁓ Adam Sandler super fan. ⁓ fifty first dates. ⁓ I think rain over me grownups. just go with it is really, really good. Actually. I do love just go with it.
Zach Stevens (04:55)
the wedding singer is probably one of his more just go with it super great too
yeah murder mysteries also really funny that it's another another Jennifer Aniston one in him
Corey Haines (05:04)
you know.
Nick Loudon (05:05)
Has
anyone seen Uncut Gems? Uncut Gems, no? It's like a... Dude, it's like his greatest achievement. You haven't even heard of it? I think it's about diamonds.
Zach Stevens (05:10)
Is that his stand up?
Corey Haines (05:17)
That's like a drug smuggle thing.
There's a bunch
of, yeah, diamonds. There's a of celebrities in it.
Zach Stevens (05:24)
No, I've not seen that one. But it sounds cool.
Nick Loudon (05:26)
Dude, that's like Adam Sandler's highest award-winning film ever.
Zach Stevens (05:31)
See that doesn't really matter to me because the awards are pointless and it's a giant circle jerk for Hollywood. I like the ones that are funny and stupid, which makes sense.
Nick Loudon (05:46)
Well, you I mean you brought up Adam Sandler I
figured you would have heard of this
Zach Stevens (05:51)
Whatever you don't you didn't even you didn't even watch Billy Madison, which is og like starting from the bottom
Nick Loudon (05:52)
Okay.
⁓
I'm not the person who has to defend this like now we're talking about Adam Sandler because you wanted to talk about him, right? Just saying. Anyway, Uncut Gems is like a big deal apparently. So I haven't seen it, but ⁓ what did I, well, I did watch something of his. I can't remember what it is. I think it is the murder mystery one. What is it called? Murder, got it, easy. It was okay. It was pretty good, but.
Corey Haines (06:02)
You
Zach Stevens (06:18)
Mm-hmm. Murder mystery.
I liked it.
Nick Loudon (06:24)
Happy Gilmour's by far the best.
Zach Stevens (06:25)
Ridiculous. Ridiculous six is actually one of those under the radar ones. It's really funny too. It's like his spoof on, um, there's this, it was a stupid Western movie that came out not too long ago called the magnificent seven. And so naturally he made this follow up one called the ridiculous six that is over the top ridiculous. has Taylor lotner in it. Um, really
Nick Loudon (06:39)
Mm-hmm.
Corey Haines (06:49)
Okay, now it's ridiculous.
Zach Stevens (06:50)
really slow, like farmhand. It's like, it's like Tropic Thunder level stupid.
Nick Loudon (06:55)
great.
That sounds great. Adam Sandler, like, you know, he fits into a group of comedic actors. That's like, they had this whole like, long stretch of movies where they kind of played the same character in every movie. And they were all the movies were in the same genre. Does that sound? Do you guys agree?
Corey Haines (06:58)
Okay, yeah, just meta parody.
Zach Stevens (07:01)
Mm-hmm.
No.
Corey Haines (07:21)
Well,
Adam Sandler is kind of one of the, mean, he was, say, sorry, he was kind of one of those people, especially cause he was very involved in like the making of the movies too, where he kind of plays himself, you know, like he plays the same character in different movies, sort of like a, ⁓ the rock Dwayne the John, Dwayne Johnson, the rock, you know, it's like Dwayne the Johnson.
Nick Loudon (07:42)
Dwayne the Johnson. Dwayne and his big Johnson.
Zach Stevens (07:43)
between the Jack Ronson.
Corey Haines (07:49)
the rocks Johnson. ⁓
You know, it's like he's kind of, that's his like archetype. That's what he plays. That's who he is. I agree. But I feel like his later movies, he's kind of evolved.
Nick Loudon (08:02)
That's what I'm saying is there's like Adam Sandler is in the same category as like Jim Carrey and ⁓ Jack Black. Does that feel like because they're kind of similar people in all of these.
Corey Haines (08:13)
Mm-hmm. A lot of comedic,
yeah, a lot of comedic actors are very similar like that.
Nick Loudon (08:18)
And I
just honestly, Adam Sandler's kind of at the bottom of that list for me. I think Jim Carrey's way better.
Zach Stevens (08:25)
Jim Carrey too. I wouldn't say that Adam Sandler is at the bottom of the list. But, anyway, that's a conversation for another time.
Corey Haines (08:26)
Love, Jim.
Nick Loudon (08:31)
Let's do it right now. ⁓ Okay. Yes, Corey.
Corey Haines (08:34)
You know, we do have to
mention with Adam Sandler is his fashion. Have you guys been keeping up?
Nick Loudon (08:38)
He wears like basketball shorts and like dirty t-shirts.
Zach Stevens (08:38)
how?
Yeah,
Corey Haines (08:42)
He's a fashion icon.
Zach Stevens (08:42)
I had my best friend walked by him in Hawaii and he was just in basketball shorts and like fat tongue sneakers and a grubby t-shirt. The dude does not care.
Corey Haines (08:59)
He's a trendsetter, honestly. He's he's rogue. He's so avant-garde that you just can't even put him in a category of how innovative he is with his passion.
Nick Loudon (09:08)
Or he just does not care. Other option.
Corey Haines (09:11)
Yeah.
He went on a talk show after like, think, cause he, think he basically blew up on tech talk and all these like 17 year old girls were like, Adam Sandler is so cute. And like he, his like fashion is so just like authentic, you know? And, and then he was on a talk show and so they were asking him questions like, like, how do you decide what to put on every day? And he's like, I literally just grab
random pieces of clothing out of my closet and I throw it on for the day and I just try not to wear the same thing two days in a row. But like there is no thought that goes into it whatsoever.
Nick Loudon (09:45)
Simple as that.
yet everyone's interested. It's unbelievable. Okay. Well, ⁓ thank you guys for your opinions on Adam Sandler. Apologies for my negative attitude, okay? But I gotta be true to myself, okay? Much like Adam and his wardrobe. ⁓ Thanks for listening to The Break Room. We'll see you next time.
Zach Stevens (09:50)
Goat. Goat.
Corey Haines (09:51)
Yeah. Yeah,
it's pretty bad-ass actually.
