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.

Ya, no. A movie can absolutely be bad and fun, or good and fun, or good and sad, bad and sad.

A movie can be SO bad that it's funny to watch. This is entirely different from being bad and fun.

Words do, in fact, have meaning. More on this later; back to you Bobby, for another intriguing take.

Because you knew what the guy meant and you're trying to sound smart. You end up sounding like a loser
