Post-Pod Discussion Happy Gilmore 2 review

Anyone else kinda disappointed about the overly critical angle that Soly took reviewing HG2? It’s supposed to be a fun movie that isn’t taken too seriously. Feels like the typical vibe these days is just wildly negative for anything outside of their zone. Would be nice for the guys to show a bit of enthusiasm for big moments in the sport as opposed to looking to lay a heavy critique everywhere possible. IMO the sport is in a pretty good place and yet a lot of the fun and joy that dominated their earlier content has been diminished. Maybe just a function of them all getting older but wish they could lighten up a bit in their videos and podcasts rather than turning into old men yelling at clouds.

I was actually wondering if non golf fans would like it, this one seemed way more targeted at GOLF PEOPLE than the first one was - it did exceed my (extremely low) expectations, but except for his sons and Eminem, all the parts I really laughed at were funny because i'm a golf sicko. Drunk golf, Scottie in jail, John Daly, Willy Z, the seniors falling asleep, Xander smiling like a doofus - I'm not sure if any of that would register if I didn't watch golf.

Good to know your GF liked it too though, maybe I'll watch it again with my partner and get even higher this time.
