About this listen

Happy Monday!


It’s time for part two.


We follow part one by taking a deep dive into Adam Sandler’s career trajectory—from the post-2000s dip in comedy classics to his major Netflix comeback. We revisit the often-overlooked era of Click, Grown Ups, and Jack and Jill, asking: was there a shift in his comedic style, and why don’t we talk about these films anymore?


We explore the massive Netflix deal that changed everything—breaking down its value, the projects it produced, and how these films compare to his earlier work.


We also look at Sandler’s powerful return to drama in Uncut Gems, Hustle, and Spaceman, and the critical acclaim that followed (despite the Oscar snub).


Finally, we preview what’s next: Happy Gilmore 2, the Safdie brothers’ gritty sports card drama, and Noah Baumbach’s highly anticipated project- Jay Kelly.


Thank you for all the support on our socials we really appreciate the likes and shares.


Love

TMSP
