It's a whole genre!

Ah yes, from the documentary film Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Actually that movie wasn't entirely wrong, the palest people there were a brother/sister incest couple, so they got that right.
It's wild to me that a movie that subversive was made in 1975 and became widely known. Truly ahead of its time.

Also every Ben Stiller romcom (and most his other movies too). Dude’s got a hangup on cute blondes, we get it already.
Except Ben Stiller doesnt look weird and goofy like Adam Sandler. And his comedy isn't horrible cringe either.

the only good Adam Sandler movie is uncut gems
its a good movie, he is cast perfectly, and he gets punched in the face
He has a number of good movies. I guess because the most popular means visible movies are his slop comides for the whole family his "real" movies kinda goes under the radar.
Uncut gems is a masterpiece but I wanna mention Spaceman because it is fantastic. It is kinda the opposite of Uncut gems, if the first is like fast pace on the edge of you seat that you spend the whole movie holding your breath that shit is about to hit the fan, Spaceman is super slow and introspective, big great nonetheless.

I feel heard for the first time. I'm 6'3" and ~165lbs these days and I hear so consistently I'm skin and bones. As if I don't still have a healthy gut/spare tire.
I'm mostly surprised you didn't touch on clothes not being made for what used to be the most standard of body sizes.
Know you aren't alone if nothing else.
You mean you don’t like t-shirts made with the dimensions of a cardboard box? Interesting.

He’s Woody Allen with grossout gags instead of pseudointellectualism.

ben stiller is funny, especially cause he has a serious looking face. this comedy doesn't have to lean into "oh look I'm a funny face".

Riff and Magenta arguably exhibited the healthiest romantic relationship out of everyone in the film.
I mean, yeah, consent for starters

But Adam Sandler movies just generally aren't funny either. Like, the jokes aren't good.

What do you do? I'm super curious about the 'behind the scenes' of the movie industry.
I work in the lighting department! It’s pretty fun work. It’s a little wild and I don’t think it’s for everyone, but I’ve had a lot of way harder jobs that didn’t pay 10% of what I get paid now. The downsides are the incredibly long days, the strange way it works with getting hired; you basically get hired day by day by whomever you made relationships with. Like I’ve never had to “network” before but if you’re competent, pleasant, and willing to work hard, the networking mostly does itself. It’s definitely interesting work. Sometimes I’m in some really swanky private apartment of some really famous person, the next I’m lighting naked models as they writhe around in a bathtub, the next I could be on the street in the rain handling disgusting cables sitting in NYC gutter water, the next I’m working 22hrs in the park on a 100 degree day. It’s wild, but it works for me. I couldn’t go to the same place with the same people everyday. Whenever I did that I was never happy, but I’m pretty content with the amount of variety this work brings

This all sounds really interesting. Much more interesting then all the celebrity gossip that passes as movie news. I would much rather learn about best boys and location managers then about Angelina's Jolie new diet. I had a crazy idea about making a podcast about it but I have no idea about making podcasts

Men: "Pfft Women wouldn't date Adam Sandler, they only date muscle bound chads!"
Women:
before looks healthy, after looks like he'll die from a week without food
