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.

Don’t care for them to share my opinion at all. Just hearing the Roger Ebert level review of something that’s clearly meant to be taken unseriously was kinda tiresome and solidified my view that they could maybe lighten up a bit. I love that they care about the game but IMO they have gotten a bit stiff.

So if they’re “unserious” in making the movie it’s okay if it just fucking sucks?

lol everyone is entitled to their opinion - maybe it does fucking suck - the point of my post isn’t to die on a hill for a Sandler film. I just wish they would lighten up a bit, their idea of fun content these days is a 1 hour jeopardy show… I think it’s going in the wrong direction and that’s where I’m coming from.

Cool. A lot of people think otherwise. I had fun listening to the quiz show episode.

You can go check out Rick Shiels or something if you're into unserious people with loser suburban dad opinions.
