Do I Still Love It?
Do I Still Love It?
The Grown-Up Big Kids
Every episode, Marshall & Laura (and a special guest) revisit some bit of pop culture from their childhood to determine if their younger selves had good taste...or would simply watch anything put in front of them.
EP 045: The Waterboy (1998)
We continue with part 3 of our very scientific survey "Was Adam Sandler actually funny?" and watch his second sports comedy with Michael Chau of Heckler Films. We ask the tough questions like "Is Bobby Bouché supposed to be mentally stunted, emotionally stunted, or both?" and "What is the purpose of Farmer Fran and what is he saying?" and really "What dirt does Rob Schneider have on Sandler?"

EP 044: Happy Gilmore (1996)
Part 2 of our Totally Scientific Study - Was Adam Sandler Funny? We all remember him being funny and loving his early work but then it all seemed to go downhill. We are asking “was there ever a top of the hill to go down from?” This week we are joined by funny lady Sara Goldsmith to watch Happy Gilmore and get to the bottom of it. How does that fight with Bob Barker hold up? Was Shooter McGavin the greatest Sandler villain? Wait, Ben Stiller was in this movie?

EP 040: Home Alone 2: Lost In New York (1992)
We're back for Season 2! Youtuber and video game designer Brent Black is on the show to see if Macaulay Culkin can do it again. As we revisit Home Alone 2, we ask ourselves "how many times can the McCallisters get away with child neglect?" "Are Harry and Marv supernatural beings?" and "Is Tim Curry inevitably the best part of any movie he's in?" and of course the big one: will Brent still love it?
