Don't have a cow, man! Right, okay. Bear with me here. Last week we brought in a new feature where we decided which film we would cover by picking a random piece of paper from a hat. Previously we joked about watching Barnyard as it starred Adam Sandler's good friend Kevin James. There was a 1 in 13 chance of us picking Barnyard from that fabled fedora. We are living in the timeline where that 1 i...

Another week, another film that doesn't star Adam Sandler...   This week we're digging into Grandma's Boy, which stars Allen Covert as a stoner video game tester who has to move in with his grandma.

Oh no, we've accidentally texted the wrong person and ended up recording an episode about David Spade instead of Adam Sandler!   This week we're digging into 'The Wrong Missy', a romcom where Spade accidentally takes the wrong woman on holiday with him, also she's pretty intense and unhinged...    But will this film accidentally get into The Sandler Castle, or will it fall off a cliff and into The...

This is how we win.   In another thrilling instalment of 'The Sandler Pit', we are digging into Uncut Gems, a crime thriller starring Adam Sandler as a jeweller who just can't seem to get a break!    Sandler's performance was critically acclaimed when this film was released, but will it earn a place in our diamond encrusted Sandler Castle, or will it end up buried like a diamond in the rough, deep...

Uh oh, this week we seem to have crash landed on a strange and unusual planet where everyone has conical heads!   We're watching and talkin' 'bout Coneheads, a sci-fi comedy film that features an Adam Sandler cameo that is frankly almost not worthy of discussion.
