Is The Waterboy Adam Sandler’s Ultimate Cheeseburger Movie?

Описание: Adam Sandler Month continues on Big Trouble in Little Podcast with a full breakdown of The Waterboy — one of the most iconic (and profitable) sports comedies ever made.
We talk childhood nostalgia, endlessly quotable jokes, Henry Winkler’s surprisingly great performance, Kathy Bates’ legendary Mama Boucher, and why this movie is the ultimate “greasy cheeseburger” comedy. We also debate whether The Waterboy belongs on the Mount Rushmore of Adam Sandler movies and why critics completely missed the point.
Plus:
Zack Facts (box office, budget & behind-the-scenes stories)
Ace Combat deep dive
Gundam & Pokémon card meta
Fallout & The Last of Us Season 2 discussion
Why Uncut Gems is next (and why it’s going to hurt)
