About this listen

Welcome back to Trees in Space, where movie reviews grow wild and the comedy is always in full swing! In this episode, Jason and Nate tee off on the 1996 slapstick sports comedy Happy Gilmore, starring Adam Sandler as the hockey reject who takes the golf world by storm—all to save his grandma’s house. Get ready for a play-by-play on epic fistfights with Bob Barker, infamous golf course antics, and more moments that will have you quoting, “You shoulda been standing there!” Whether you love golf, can’t get enough Adam Sandler, or just want to relive the glory days where the only thing more broken than Happy’s clubs is his short game, this episode is for you.Jason and Nate dig deep into the movie’s hilarious one-liners, nitpick the wild editing errors, and debate whether Happy Gilmore deserves a full forest of praise or just a lonely little stump to sit on. Plus, they tackle the critics, the fan reviews, and ask the really important questions—like, should a classic Volkswagen Beetle spontaneously combust on the fairway? And, can anyone survive getting hit in the head with a baseball at close-range on a children’s batting cage?So grab your clubs (preferably not wooden ones), buckle up for nostalgia, and find out if this is Adam Sandler’s best comedy—or just a Caddyshack wannabe with a wicked slapshot. Don’t forget to stick around for the hosts’ tree ratings and their signature blend of hot takes, deep cuts, and a little bit of breakfast trash talk.
