They're All Going To Laugh At Him
People love to hate Adam Sandler. Is it fair? Is it just? We don't know yet. In "They're All Going to Laugh at Him," we watch every single Sandler related movie (in a row, 1 per day) and discuss the artistic merit, the meta-Sandlerverse, and the message behind the movies. Jess uses her skills and experience as an English teacher to explain the movies through literary critique, particularly through the lens of feminist and queer theory. Alex laughs when people fall down.
