Caloroga Shark Media. Hey there, I’m Johnny Mack and it’s a summer Saturday, so let’s have some fun and talk a little Sandler and some food and just kind of relaxed. Today. We’ll start on Gossip Corner. Adam Sandler stopped by a pizza joint in Hoboken.
The Sandman was at Benny Tadino’s, which is in business for over fifty years, says New Jersey one oh one point five dot com. They apparently are known for having the biggest slices of pizza around. They posted on Instagram, the great comic and actor Adam Sandler stop buy for a slice of Benny Todino’s pizza. See they phrased that wrong. They wrote, the great comic and actor Adam Sandler.
That’s wrong, the comic and great actor Adam Sandler because he’s not a great comic, he’s a great actor. Uncut gems Space movie. More of that please, we’ll discussed this week now if you’d like a giant slice of pizza Apparently at Benny Tatino’s, which is at six twenty two Washington Street in Hoboken, is open today from eleven am to one am. I’ll quickly look at the menu because we have a lot to get to today. A fresh garlic bread with cheese is ten bucks.
Ten jumbo buffalo wings eighteen bucks. This place is not cheap. You want a chicken palm dinner twenty four dollars.
Let’s get to the pizza menu.
Johnny Mack, Okay, boy, these slices better be really big. A thirty two inch house pie, which is a really big pie, is forty two bucks. A large pie, eighteen inch pie is twenty one to fifty. Why wouldn’t I just get two eighteen inch pizzas at twenty one to fifty twice? So that’s forty three dollars.
And I would have thirty six inches of pizza as opposed to the house pie of thirty two inches for forty two dollars. So for the extra dollar, I have another four inches. Do I do the math? Right there? A topping on a house pie will r any an additional twelve If you’d like a Sicilian pizza’s forty bucks.
Sure, it’s delicious, little out of my price range. I digress. Actually, I don’t die. That’s what today’s show is because we are talking about Adam Sandler. He has good advice, which is be nice to everybody again.
Adam Sandler good guy, everyone loves working with him. Great dramatic actor. A lot of good things you can say about Adam Sandler. Comedy movies not on that list, but he says, be nice to everybody. Co star Julie Bowen said, be nice to everybody.
Don’t just be nice of the fancy people. Sanlor edit. The crew is all you got. They work their butts off. Maxwell Jacob Friedman.
If you’re a fan of aw wrestling, you know him as MJF. He talked about being in the disaster that is Happy Gilmore too. He said, I felt my character is very much in the genome and genetic sphere and aura of Happy. I’m Happy Son, so I wanted to take on Happy essentially, and I feel like all the brothers did in different ways. I also took little pieces of me, which I do in wrestling too.
You take pieces of yourself and you put it in there, so everything you do feels real because it is real. I’ve watched the original movie so many times I didn’t have to go back and watch it. I can quote the whole thing. It’s actually pretty terrifying. I agree, and Adam and kay Ill had a vision.
They knew what they wanted to do with this thing, and they made it even easier. I swear it was such a chill experience. Was it weird playing Happy Gilmore’s son when Adam Sandler’s real daughter, famous Hollywood actress Sonny Sandler, was cast as Happy Medisine’s daughter in the same scenes. M Jeff said, Yeah, it made me feel like I was really in the family. And by the way, I’ll tell you, I do feel like I am a famous Hollywood actress, Sonny Sandler’s sister and Adam Sandler’s my dad.
They both rule and I love them both. I don’t have enough nice things to say. They absolutely rule, and I had so much fun wearing with them. And it’s so cool to see how much Adam loves his family and how down to earth he is. He’s just a dude, a normal guy.
I talk with him about sports and TV shows and movies. Yeah, everybody loves Adam Sandler. No one doubts that he is a great guy and a family guy. There’s just that one problem, and let’s get to it. From Rolling Stone, Adam Sandler’s movies ranked worst to best.
I have not looked at this during the pandemic. I’ve done Simil Lewis, but there have been new Adam Sandler movies. Let’s react to this list on this summer Saturday, Number forty six. I love the list. Aready The worst Adam Sandler film of them all is, of course Jack and Jill.
Listeners to this program know that I forbade my children from renting the film and said I would rather light the five dollars on fire rolling Stone Rights. It takes a special kind of crappy movie to sweep the Golden Raspberry Awards by winning all ten categories, a feat no other film has matched to date. It also won Worst Movie of the Year at the Golden Schmos. It was mocked on two separate episodes of South Park. Love this list so far?
All right? Number forty five going overboard from nineteen eighty nine. I don’t even remember this one. Sandler was twenty one on the verge of breaking big on SNL. He made his big screen debut in this no budget indie.
It’s about a waiter on a cruise ship who yearns to be a stand up in between Sandler mugging for the camera and acting like Jerry Lewis’s Braddy nephew. After sugar binge, the movie cuts away to testimonials from beauty patching contestants and shots of models and mikinis. I can’t blame Adam Sandler for that one. He was young and somebody asked him to make a movie. You know, these days he’s going going out of his way to make terrible movies, all right.
Number forty four, The Ridiculous six forty three just go with it from twenty ten. After years of seducing women by wearing a fake wedding ring, a plastic surgeon finally meets his soulmate in Brooklyn Decker. I have no memory of that at all, but I have no doubt it’s Terrible forty two Grown Ups two and Chris Rock, you’re in this movie. When we judge your career, Chris Rock, we’re going to remind you you’re in that film. Number forty one is The Cobbler.
Once upon a Time, a cobbler on the Lower East Side comes into the possession of a magic stitching machine. Yikes. Forty Spaceman. No Spaceman is like the third or fourth best Adam Sandler movie. That’s the one I always refer to as the space movie.
No, no, no, no, Whirlingstone. You’re so wrong there, What are you doing? No? Thirty nine Murder Murstery two, that’s a Netflix cash in Hub Halloween Netflix cash in thirty seven Blended. That’s the movie that proved that even true Barrymore can’t save all out.
I’m Sandler movie. She’s saved two of them, but she couldn’t save three thirty six men, women and children. I don’t remember this existing, and I’ve probably talked about it on this very podcast, Rolling Stone Rights. Sandlor’s actually one of the few bright spots. He’s an unhappy husband looking for human connection via online escorts.
Oh that’s just no. One wants to see that thirty five rain Over Me from two thousand and seven. I’m not doing a bit here. I have clearly erased most of these movies from my brain. Like maybe I went to the total recall place and they were like, do you want to go to Mars?
Do you want to pretend you’re like a secret agent? I went no, just erase Adam Sandler comedies from my brain. And apparently that’s what happened, because I don’t remember this at All Rain Over Me is a Sandler melodrama that finds a psychiatrist noting his character’s incompatibility to function in anything resembling a normal adult manner. Boy. I was about to comment, but Rolling Stone wrote the sentence for me that describes ninety percent of sandler thirty four Bedtime Stories from two thousand and eight.
I don’t remember these things. Sandler is a down on his luck hotel handyman forced to watch his sister’s kids while she’s out of town. His luck turns around when he discovers the bedtime stories he tells the kids every night come true the following day. You know, to be honest, that doesn’t sound like the worst premise A thirty three twenty twelves. That’s my boy.
Another film I don’t remember. Oh No, I do remember this one. Adam Sandler and Andy Samberg did a father’s Son buddy comedy. Boy. That’s tough because Andy Samberg’s in the Macpack and Adam Sandler is Adam Sandler.
Thirty two, Murder Mystery, thirty one, Little Nikky three Bulletproof from nineteen ninety six. He and Damon Wayans play southern California crooks, except Wayans is actually working undercover for the LPD. Twenty nine Anger Management, co starring Jack Nicholson. Jack, when we review your career, we’re going to judge you and remind you you did this. Adam Sandler movie twenty eight Mixed Nuts from nineteen ninety four.
It’s about people working at a suicide prevention hotline on Christmas Eve. The cast includes Steve Martin, Adeline Kahn, Juliet Lewis, Leaf Schreiber, Parker Posey, John Stewart, Rita Wilson, Anthony Alpelia, Robert Klein, and Gary Shanling. But rolling Stone says, with that cast, you’d be surprised how few laughs it delivers number twenty seven pixels from twenty fifteen. Yes, yes, yes, yes, twenty six. I now pronounce you Chuck a Larry.
I think we should remind everyone every single day that Adam Sandler made this movie, in which a widowed firefighter asks his best friend Adam Sandler to enter into a domestic partnership to circumvent the red tape of his pension. Rolling Stone says the movie is both homophobic and begrudgingly open minded and extremely awkward. Twenty five spanglish. Sandler plays a la chef who’s married to a high strung exercise aholic, but falls for his Mexican immigrant housekeeper floor all right, I need a break here. I gotta have some of my iced coffee.
My brain needs a break. We’ll be right back more Adam Sandler, all Right. Continuing Rolling Stone’s list of the Adam Sandler movies ranked worse to best at number twenty four, The completely unnecessary remake of The Longest Yard from two thousand and five, The original and awesome film. I guess on paper this isn’t the worst idea, but on film it is. Twenty three Click you know, Adam Sandler with remote control mac packer.
Henry Winkler’s in it, Christopher Walkins in it, and it’s still a terrible Adam Sandler movie. Twenty two The Do Over? What’s this one? I don’t remember this? Twenty sixteen.
Sandler and his buddy David Spade fake their own deaths, and they have new identities, access to untold riches, and possession of a dream house in Puerto Rico. Unfortunately, they’ve taken on the names of some men wanted buy some very bad people. Doesn’t sound like the Worst Idea twenty one Grown Ups Boy Kevin James, Chris Rock, David Spade, Rob Schneider, Adam Sandler, Chris Rock. We are going to judge you by taking part in this film twenty Shakes, the clown from nineteen ninety one director bobcat Goldthwaite, the marketing slogan the citizen Kane of alcoholic clown movies. I’ve erased this from my memory.
Also in this film Somehow, Robin Williams nineteen, You are so not invited to my bot mitzvah. This stars famous Hollywood actress Sonny Sandler, who Rollingstone says nails the portrayal of perfectly charming, hormonal teen.
Also in the film famous Hollywood actress Jackie Sandler.
Jackie married to Adam Sandler.
Also in the film, famous Hollywood actress Sadie Sandler.
Also in the movie, as is Sarah Sherman eighteen. Sandy Wexler. This just makes me want to throw up. Sandy Wexler maybe a Hollywood agent whose clients range from ventriloquist to the world’s most accident prone daredevil, but also the type of Tinseltown legend love by everybody from Lauren Michael’s to Vanilla Ice. Tons of cameos in that one.
Number seventeen Airheads from nineteen ninety four, sixteen the Week of from twenty eighteen. What’s this one? Rollingstone calls it what a father of the I’d start Adam Sandlor instead of Steve Martin. That’s all I need to know. Fifteen eight Crazy Nights, Okay, fine, fourteen mister Deeds.
Sandlor plays longfellow Deeds, a small town, a New Hampshire pizza guy who inherits a billion bucks. We own a writer in this thing. Big Daddy from nineteen ninety nine comes in at number thirteen. Listen to this description. This is the thirteenth best Adam Sandler movie.
Okay, so we’re not going best to worse, We’re going worse to best, and we’re at number thirteen. Rolling Stone has to describe Big Daddy as taking a philosophy established in Billy Madison quote if peeing in your pants is cool, considered me Mile Davis unquote, and essentially extrapolates it to an entire movie. Twelve Funny People from two thousand and nine eleven Happy Gilmore two. Happy Gilmore two is the eleventh best Adam Sandler movie. Have you heard the reviews I’ve shared all week?
And this is the eleventh best one? Yikes? All right, your top ten Adam Sandler movies. Hustle, that’s the one I call the Basketball Movie. That’s actually probably the second to best Adam Sandler movie.
Nine You Don’t Mess with the Zohan, eight the Myrowitz Stories. I’ve heard a lot of good things about this. As a fin of Adam Sandler dramagtic actor, I may have to actually watch that one. Seven fifty First Dates. That’s probably third.
I’ll give my ranking at the end. Six The water Boy, five, The Wedding Singer, four Punch Drunk Love Interesting, three Uncut Gems, two Happy Gilmore and one Billy Madison. Now that is obviously wrong my rankings number one Uncut Gems, two Hustle, The Basketball Movie. Three whatever the Space one is that I talked about ten minutes ago. Four I’ll say fifty First Dates, five The Wedding Singer, and all the others are garbage.
And that is a Saturday Summer Sandler fun episode for fun’s sake, normal episode tomorrow. I didn’t even need to do this as filler. I just felt like doing it. See tomorrow,
