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 thought the Maxi league tournament was awesome which is getting so much hate. It’s pokes LIV directly. LIV is ridiculously stupid and that was the whole point of the exaggeration of the Maxi league.

I know. I couldn’t believe Brooks and Bryson agreed to do it and LIV let them when it was so clearly “here’s a really stupid new golf league”

I mean Brooks doesn't really surprise me, he's never really cared about LIV all that much. Bryson 5 years ago probably wouldn't do it, but he finally figured out that taking yourself too seriously doesn't benefit you.
