Birthdays & Happy Gilmore 2

Birthdays & Happy Gilmore 2

Welcome back to Bad Dads Film Review!
This week, we’re blowing out the candles and unwrapping a nostalgia-packed episode with our Top 5 Birthdays in Film and TV, followed by a dive into Happy Gilmore 2 — the long-awaited, fan-service sequel to Adam Sandler’s 1996 cult classic. Spoiler alert: it’s still not about the golf.

🎉 Top 5 Birthdays in Film and TV

  1. Bilbo Baggins' Eleventy-First Birthday (The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring)
    The Shire’s biggest party and Bilbo’s dramatic disappearing act set the tone for the epic ahead. One does not simply forget a birthday with fireworks and invisibility.
  2. Sixteen Candles (Sixteen Candles)
    Molly Ringwald’s teen angst and everyone forgetting her birthday? Brutal. But it gave us one of the most iconic teen comedies of the ’80s — and the ultimate cake-top kiss.
  3. Harry Potter’s 11th Birthday (Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone)
    A surprise letter, a giant named Hagrid, and a ticket to wizard school? Best birthday ever. Also: cake.
  4. The Godfather’s Opening Scene (The Godfather)
    Don Corleone’s daughter's wedding/birthday request-palooza is the ultimate in mafioso hospitality. You come to me, on this... etc.
  5. The Birthday Time Loop (The Map of Tiny Perfect Things)
    Kathryn Newton’s character is stuck reliving her birthday in this sweet sci-fi romance, turning one birthday into infinite moments of reflection.

🏌️ Main Feature: Happy Gilmore 2 (2024)
After nearly three decades, Adam Sandler returns as the volatile, hockey-stick-swinging golf legend Happy Gilmore in a sequel nobody expected — but everyone kind of wanted.

Years after a triumphant golf career, Happy Gilmore is a widowed alcoholic haunted by a tragic accident that drove him from the sport. His quiet life working at a supermarket is upended when his daughter earns a spot at a prestigious Parisian ballet school, forcing Happy to return to the green to pay for her tuition. His comeback effort puts him on a collision course with Maxi Golf, a new, extreme league whose players surgically sever a ligament to enhance their driving distance. 

To stand against this threat to the sport's integrity, Happy must not only conquer his own demons but also forge an unlikely truce with his old nemesis, Shooter McGavin, leading to a final showdown between traditional golf and corporate greed, with everything on the line in one impossible putt.

But is it as much fun as the original??

So grab your birthday hats, light a candle, and settle in as we celebrate the highs, the lows, and the weirdness of birthdays on screen — from middle-earth to mini-golf. 🎬🎂👨‍👧‍👦🍿

Happy Gilmore 2

Reegs: Welcome to Bad Dad's Film Review, the podcast that is to aging gracefully as a nursing home fire is to retirement planning. This week's show involves a lot of screaming, some blood, and ends with everyone in his.

Exhausted and questioning their life choices. That's right in honor of Chris's 40th we've just had, we'll be discussing the top five birthdays and it will feature more unwanted arrivals than a boatload of asylum seekers turning up at a reform party. Beach barbecue. Our main feature will prove that Hollywood will resurrect.

Anything, if there's even the faintest whiff of nostalgia driven profit to be squeezed from your fond memories as we review Happy Gilmore. Two. We'll see if this sequel can get it up for round two or if it'll just lie there. Leaking bodily fluids like the last prostitute, Pete forgot to pay. As ever, listener discretion is advised.

This podcast delivers more unwanted revelations than your uncle's hard drive and occasionally contains language that would make our lee erm weep. So if you still have a shred of human decency left, now is the time for you to exercise [00:01:00] it. Let's meet this week's reasons for mandatory sterilization.

Starting with Dan. He's so old. He actually predates most genocides and has personally witnessed more humor and suffering than God, which explains why they're both equally indifferent to it. Dan has moved so far from giving a fuck. He actually absorbs fucks from the universe, like a fuck black hole where caring goes to die.

Next up the former birthday boy himself, Chris, who reviews films like a man being forced to eat his own vomit, grimacing throughout and constantly checking how much is left. And in third place, the man who blows out a lot more than candles these days, it's sidey. You've been blowing things for so long, your jaws permanently unhinged like a python, swallowing a pig. Yeah. Could you demonstrate that for us now? No. Oh. And then there's me res Hello.

Hi.

Dan: thanks for that warm welcome again.

Reegs: That's okay.

Dan: yeah, I have had the most birthdays out of us all, I guess. But Chris has had the most recent one.

Reegs: He has.

Cris: did. Yeah.

Reegs: And [00:02:00] we all had a very fond time

Cris: Oh, we were together anyway, so that, that

Dan: that's the important thing. Doesn't matter where we are, as long as it's the furthest possible place from here.

Sidey: we should have taken more photos.

'cause on the discord, I forgot all about that.

Dan: I've got one. And it's against the sun, so it's just silhouettes of people you can't really Nice. Work.

Reegs: That's probably my good side, to be honest.

Dan: I'm not even sure you were in it, which is the really good side. But yeah, it was a, it was a fun afternoon, Chris, and like all, you know, wild birthdays.

Chris stood in front of the barbecue all evening and,

Reegs: I know cooked

You did, yeah. And you'd spent clearly a long time preparing with all the marinated tomahawks

Dan: and a lot of money preparing. I imagine you must have

Cris: so. It's

That's

Reegs: that's, that

Sidey: turned 40. He wants,

Cris: I, I ate some of it too, so it's not,

Dan: Yeah. Well it was,

Cris: Yeah. Well, I

can enjoy myself

Dan: myself next time.

For Chris's birthday, one lucky listener who who gets in touch will be able to come as well. You just need to send Chris a birthday [00:03:00] card to down dog in, in Jersey, the, the cafe and they'll be randomly selected. Yeah. And you will be invited to Chris's next birthday,

Reegs: better get that in quick to be honest, because there will be a lot of.

Dan: Well, you know, the, the mailman can only carry so much mail before we, you know, you've got 365 days to get that in. 60, 60, 64,

Sidey: 63 by now. Yeah. Yeah.

Dan: it's already going quick. See

Sidey: anyone watch anything? Good?

Dan: I was telling Riggs about a wish master too. I didn't, or wish master.

I hadn't actually seen the thing. I dunno why it came up on the YouTube feed that I was, I was watching, but I thought, what's this? It said The devil in prison. And I thought, oh, that's interesting. And he just starts, granting wishes to all these bad motherfuckers in prison. And they don't make the, the best wishes or the best choices.

Yeah. He said I want my lawyer to go fuck himself. So, that's exactly what happens, just as his lawyer had found a loophole to [00:04:00] get him outta jail though. So it I thought that was quite interesting. You, you've seen all of these, have you

Reegs: There's at least three in this, in the Wish Master franchise, which I've seen all of it. There could be four, I'm not sure. They escalate in sort of ludicrousness, which is great. And they get less and less budget, which. Also is great probably for this sort of thing. So yeah, strong

Dan: I've not, yeah, I've not, not seen any of those before. Heard them before. But other than that, I did watch obviously the the lioness,

rule, the roost and, and beat the Spanish in the final, which

Sidey: Yeah, it was good. I enjoyed that.

Reegs: We sat down to watch Zombies four. As a family,

Sidey: Have you seen one, two, and three?

Reegs: Seeing the first one and the second one, I've probably been in the room by the third one was on.

Sidey: Yeah. Is it good?

Reegs: No, it's not that I'm afraid this one is not. It's, it's, the songs are not quite as catchy. And even the kids were like, why do the cast look so old? Like, yeah, they're

Sidey: Wait till you get to

Reegs: a little bit, but

Yeah, I know. Yeah, it's ridiculous. Well, they're having to just keep de [00:05:00] that's why they can't release it, so they just have to keep aging them all the time, like everything.

Sidey: Do you find time this week? Were you, you probably

Cris: do you know what? I did watch two films before because the norms came in

late. fairly late.

I think, if I remember correctly. I watched. Well, to be fair, the first one I haven't finished is William Wilhem Tell Okay.

A film. Yeah. It's a British production.

Reegs: Do they do the bit with the Apple?

Cris: Yes. Yeah. Wilhem

Tell, sorry. Yeah. Yeah. Don't let it happen again.

Swiss um,

And he's got Connor Swindles or something like that. He's been in a few films and he is been in that B-B-C-S-A-S thing and in sex education and stuff like that. So, oh, he's in it there, there's a couple more others that I've kind of seen and whatever. It, it's very scenic because most of the action happens in the Switzerland and this.

Austria v Switzerland kind of vibes is quite good. And he's very good with what do you call that? Not the ball, the cross bowl. Cross ball. Yeah, cross bowl. [00:06:00] He's very good with that. And he, they do the apple scene on

Reegs: on the guy's head and sunset.

Cris: Yeah. Yeah. It's his sunset Sun's head. I've, so I've seen that, but I haven't finished it.

I think I've got another, maybe.

I would, I'm gonna say about 20 minutes, half an hour. It's kind of building up to towards the final confrontation, like the, the, the, our hero against the, the auntie, whatever. And I've watched a film, which I can't remember the name I'm gonna say 96 with Kate Blanche and some other people, and she's, she's in Ireland and she plays,

Dan: best when she plays with other people.

Cris: Yeah. And she's in Ireland and she's a journalist and she's the journalist that got shot. And because she got shot, she was investigating these criminals and these organizations and the heroin trafficking, and she got shot at

Sidey: what that is.

Cris: He got, she got shot at a traffic light. It's based on a true story.

Reegs: Yeah. I liked

Cris: And she got shot at a traffic light and then because of that, they changed the law in Ireland, in [00:07:00] Dublin, in Republic of Ireland. They changed the law to be able to, because until then,

Dan: no traffic lights

Cris: Yeah. Well they have, they still have them. But until then you didn't have to declare tax or, or you didn't have to declare where you have the income as long as you pay tax on it.

So, so let's say if you're a criminal and you have, you have 4 million and you pay tax on it, it didn't matter where you got it from where, and, you know, and, and that's,

Reegs: have to provide source of wealth and source of funds.

Cris: Exactly.

Reegs: Yeah.

Cris: Yeah.

And,

and because of her and because of her investigation, and this was the Real, real Lady, I can't remember her name.

And it's, that's the name of the movie and it's got 30 seconds of Colin Farrell in it as well. And apparently that's his first role.

His name on the thing is Tattoo Boy in the, in the credits. it's quite

Reegs: Is he giving or receiving

Cris: tattoos? Yeah, no, he, he's trying to tell her that she's a man United fan in

Sidey: this.

Yeah.

Cris: film and she always has a, a man

Dan: maybe That's

why

Reegs: [00:08:00] No wonder she was shot then. Oh, let's make light

Cris: and she, he's watching the football and Man United are playing someone in Canonize in his play for Man United and he's like, oh yeah, look, he's a, he's, she's like, what are you watching? Oh, it's just a premier league. They've got this number seven.

He's called Eric. They, they apparently call him a striker. She's like, oh, what? Born in 1966 on seven December, whatever.

Reegs: She proves her fan

Cris: just all the details of King Eric and just like a little bit of a thing. So yeah, that

Sidey: I went to the Multiplex

Dan: Woo.

Cris: Okay.

Sidey: watched the Fantastic four.

Cris: Oh, there's quite a few people that watch that.

Is it good?

Sidey: that fantastic? I found it quite boring to

Reegs: Oh, fantastic. Bore. Yeah. Oh

Sidey: was a bit really? Yeah.

Reegs: Was it, I I'm still quite up for that.

Sidey: It, the, it looks good. The sort of retro future aesthetic is good.

Yeah. That's about it.

Reegs: I enjoyed Superman. I think you'd hate that. So,

Sidey: i'm gonna watch it on the tail. I'm not gonna cinema for that. Although he, did you get a scratch card [00:09:00] thing when you get to cinema? Oh yeah. And I haven't actually scratched ours, but there was only two other people there and the guy had scratches and it was, two tickets for a tenor or something. got a, I've got the unlimited card so you guys can have that if you want. So. Nice. So I need to go and see something else. I might, maybe a Superman, but I get the feeling I won't like it. But yeah, I watched the line notices and I watched loads of the Tour de France cycling, cycling loss over T cia.

Cris: cia. Yeah. He was gonna, he was gonna win it two weeks ago before it started.

Sidey: but it's just, I call

Reegs: It means tour of France. Really? Yeah.

Sidey: must step up my Duolingo. So it just that really, and obviously we all watch the cricket.

Reegs: here. Yeah.

Cris: Yes. Oh, loved it.

Reegs: Yeah. The bit of Nas when he wouldn't declare it, when they wouldn't just agree to a draw. Got a bit, bit

Sidey: Yeah. So

Dan: we've lost a load of, we've lost load listeners there. I didn't watch the, the cricket. Yeah, you did. I didn't.

Sidey: Right. Well in that case, should we just crack on with top five? I think we were best birth days.

Dan: birthday to you. Happy birthday [00:10:00] to you.

Reegs: actually got a bit about that song.

Sidey: Well, let's go with that

Dan: to you. Go on Ed, start us off.

Reegs: Well just,

Dan: it's your big day. No,

Reegs: before September 22nd, 2015, it was not in the public domain, that song, and you do rarely hear it before in movies because of that 2015. Yeah. So it has been in some movies like Batman Begins and some other stuff that was before that and all that. But and famously a big chunk of the. Budget for the room. The amazing original Tommy Wizo

Dan: Happy Birthday to You?

Reegs: Yes. For decades, one

Dan: of the the free license songs forever.

Reegs: I, I thought the same thing.

But it is true

Dan: Who wrote it and who's getting the money? Then before that

Reegs: Warner Chapel music and its affiliate, Sammy Biard Inc. Demand and receive millions of dollars in copyright royalties from thousands of companies and individuals for the right to include renditions of the song, happy Birthday, and movies, TVs and shows.

And it ended in 2015. When the US [00:11:00] said you didn't actually own the lyrics as well as it, you just had a particular piano arrangement for it. So yeah, that's the song. Happy Birthday. That was a really

Dan: off with that result,

Sidey: Yeah.

Reegs: So if you wanted it in a movie, you had to pay like a six figure sum to include the full lyrics of a

Dan: Wow.

A song that everybody sings all the time.

Reegs: Yeah. And then it was Clima Act, it was in the, so, in the terrible. Long legs. Have you seen that? The Nick Cage one? No.

Sidey: No.

Reegs: The horror, it's a show.

Sidey: Is it show?

Reegs: Yeah, it had it, it should have been great. Really? It's got Nick Cage and a wig or pale singing a song, happy Birthday, killing people on the every 9-year-old girls on the 14th of a, a particular month.

Every year it's like all set up to be great and then it turns out, spoiler alert to be about Satanic dolls. Yeah, so it's always a bit scarier when you don't know what something is and when it turns out to be something, particularly Satanic dolls, it's not very interesting rage.

Dan: You've done it again.

Reegs: yeah.

Happy

birthday.

Sidey: Oh,

Dan: Okay. the Toy story, happy [00:12:00] birthday was where we got Buzz Lightyear introduced. And

know, obviously he was was it Alan your man.

Yeah. The, the actor Tim Allen, he was, he was Buzz Lightyear against Tom Hanks.

Yeah. Woody Hanks, and you've seen it. Is is the, the cla you've never seen Toy Story? No. No. So it's the, it is the first Pixar kind of classic movie, and it just changed everything as far as adults watching cartoons and thinking this is pretty good as well, actually. fantastic. And yeah, the little boy, gets

this

new toy and he's,

Sidey: he's the new favorite

Dan: He's the new favorite. And all the other toys that become alive get a little bit jealous and,

Yeah, it's, it's it's a ripper.

Sidey: That's very good. The, the song I was thinking of is, of course called Happy Birthday. It's the Stevie Wonder

Dan: Happy birthday to ya.

Happy birthday

Cris: play that one, [00:13:00] but not the other

Sidey: you still have to play s

Reegs: Wonder.

Dan: gotta pay Stevie

Cris: Yeah. I'd rather pay Stevie

Sidey: Wonder. Isn't that the one

Dan: that

Sidey: the guy comes into championship vinyl and high fidelity masks for? For his. Daughter. Yeah, I think, and it gets a load of shit from Jack Black. There's no way your daughter lights that record.

It's actually a political statement. And it was Stevie Wonder's push for Martin Luther King Jr's birthday to become a national holiday.

Reegs: Oh, right. That's

Sidey: I did not know that. No, but I do

Dan: did, did. It

Sidey: But it is still a fucking terrible song.

Dan: I remember they played it for Mickey Mouse's birthday. I played that one. Yeah, maybe.

Sidey: I'm just waiting for a punchline,

Reegs: I know. Yeah.

Dan: that was it. It's true. I remember it just as a kid.

Sidey: Okay, fine. Chris, you got anything for us?

Cris: Henry Hill's birthday in Goodfellas.

There's a scene where Joe Peci, I can't remember the guy's name. I have it.

Reegs: Isn't that the big long take scene as well? is

Cris: Joe Peci and De Niro and Tommy's reaction to him, Maury, he kind of keeps going. There's a guy that keeps going saying,

Reegs: oh, Johnny, two times.

Cris: Yeah, he is Danny boy. Danny boy, [00:14:00] Danny

Reegs: I need to fetch your papers. Fetch your papers.

Cris: Yeah. And, and Joe PE gets really angry and that, that's probably the one I remember. The first thing that, you know, I was like, I'm sure I've seen that is quite a, quite an angry, it turns from a celebration, oh, we're here at this bar celebrating your birthday to

Reegs: getting kicked to death.

Cris: So it's

Dan: it easily happens. You know, it, alcohol normally involved.

Reegs: Your party wasn't much like that, to be honest. No,

Cris: Yeah. Sadly no one, you know, is

Reegs: no one was kicked to

Dan: That we know of. Another toy themed. One for myself was child's play. The original

Sidey: Chucky. yeah.

Dan: Yeah. He was given, and the first one actually was quite scary and I think they made about five or six others and they became so

Tongue in cheek and a little bit. But the actual first one was they didn't go for tongue in cheek.

They went for horror. They went for, Chucky being quite scary and he was given to this little kid who really bet.

[00:15:00] Didn't know that. I suppose mom and dad didn't know that he'd been possessed by a serial killer. They did

Sidey: Yeah. Yeah. It was deliberate.

Dan: it was deliberate. They wanted the little kid to have an absolute horror.

But yeah, this sort of freckled, redheaded little cabbage patch doll kind of looking thing. Yeah. Terrorizing. Everybody and you know, the neck twists around, he can't be killed. It's just Absolutely.

terrify. Yeah, it was pretty terrifying.

Reegs: And in the reboot, it's an AI gone rogue. Of

Dan: Yeah. But that was the first one, was the best one there. Another, another over

Reegs: with the Bulgy killings closely Yeah. They'd watched that

Sidey: right? they Jesus.

Reegs: so it was long time, it had a reputation as a video nasty just because of that affiliate light

Sidey: Yeah. Well, it's pretty good.

Reegs: Dying on your birthday feels a bit ironic really, doesn't it?

Dan: dunno. It's, it is

Reegs: You like a i

Dan: Yeah. It's [00:16:00] easy for the math, you know, and yeah, it

Reegs: much easier maths wise. That's for the statisticians. That's good. They say Shakespeare did it, didn't they? They he Died

on his birthday. Not sure, but in movies we watched Harold and Maude.

And at the end of that, she takes pills to suicide on her 80th birthday. Pet cemetery, I dunno if you've ever seen that one. The kid is killed birthday by a passing juggernaut lull under siege, Steven Egal.

Cris: Oh, I've seen that. That was with classic

Dan: Oh, the one

Reegs: Erica Reac coming out the cake. Yeah. Everybody

Dan: I'd forgotten about that. Yeah.

Reegs: Yeah. The captain is murdered on his birthday. It's the preparations for his party that his birthday party that kick off the guy being able to smuggle aboard the crew of ew wells knives out. Did you like that one?

Cris: Is that the Daniel Craig

thing?

Reegs: No, I've still not seen glass onion,

Sidey: good. Then they've announced the third of, well is

Cris: oh, it's got Janelle Monet in it. It's good. I like that

Sidey: one. Yeah,

Reegs: The first one starts on Harlan Thrombis, the night of his 85th [00:17:00] birthday when he dies.

Cris: Oh, I quite like that actually. It's It's quite, it's got Dermas in it as well.

Reegs: it's good. No, I enjoyed that. We did it for pod, I think. Yeah. And then a big shout out to Happy Death Day.

I've talked about it on the pod before. It's a time loopy movie. Tree gets murdered over and over on her birthday and has to figure out who does it. It's a really good one. Good fun.

Sidey: Okay. Couple of 11th, sort of 11th birthdays. Yeah. Favorite franchise? Yours? Riggs Harry Potter and the philosopher stone that starts with him like trapped in a remote island and Hagrid crashing through the door. And his 11th birthday.

Reegs: These are just 11th birthdays. These, this group, this is amazing. Yeah. Go on.

Sidey: This one is Bilbo Baggins in, in the Lord of the Rings colon the fellowship of the Ring. So the, the

return of the king ending takes forever. Yeah. Fellowship, living the beginning takes forever. Right. And another bit

in is

Reegs: running time is 11 years,

Sidey: And they're having his 11th first birthday party is what's going down in the shower.

When when Gdo, Gandalf appears and does the big, well, it's the two,[00:18:00]

Dan: And he disappears,

Sidey: Mary and Pippin Nick, a massive firework and set off the dragon firework, which sweeps down into that one. So a couple of sort of 11th

Reegs: That's good. I like that.

Sidey: 11

first. That also makes me think of Number Wang

Reegs: Yeah. Num. That is number

Sidey: Wang.

Yeah.

Dan: number

one.

Cris: Yeah. Wow. In full metal jacket. They say, happy birthday, Jesus.

Sidey: Yeah.

Reegs: Yeah. On Christmas. Yeah. That's what they sing. Happy birthday to you, aren't they? And then it finishes. Happy birthday dear Jesus.

Cris: So can I have that?

Reegs: Yeah. of course you

Dan: in. Okay. It's yours.

Cris: Yeah. I have that

Reegs: you might have to pay Warner Chapel at six. Figure

Dan: well, well, any, any excuse to, to get full metal

Cris: Yeah. The, and there was another one in Sleeping Beauty where the curse is. Placed on the princess on her first birthday.

Reegs: Yeah. Why

Dan: Right.

Reegs: the day she's born?

Is that, or was it the, it, was it the day she was born or the first year

Cris: Oh no, it was the day she was born. Sorry. So on her birthday

Reegs: A a day of her

Dan: birthday. A day of birth.[00:19:00]

Yeah. Okay. Can you remember we watched the birds? And she

Cris: how could I forget?

Sidey: Tippy? Tippy headroom.

Dan: yeah, that's right. She was taking a couple of love birds for a niece's birthday. And by the time she got to the.

Kind

of islands on the keys or whatever it was going, the, the world had turned really strange. Seagulls had become murderous.

Crows had just started flocking into a, a playground. Remember that? She's just smoking a cigarette on the bench.

Sidey: she just looks up, oh,

Dan: The next door, there's a bird next to me, and then she turns around. There's like. 500 birds. I mean, we hear later that they super glued them or something

Sidey: Yeah. I think it's pretty

Reegs: They voltron them together. Yeah.

Dan: but it was just an absolutely like, shockingly simple idea, but what a way Hitchcock had in, in just making it being a, a really scary, chilling, chilling movie.

Yeah.

Reegs: Well [00:20:00] last week we did about actors that shared Chris's birthday. So I thought I'd do some here. So Octa, it's a bit harder. I've just gone for months and not just actors 'cause it got really hard. October, 1978, Alicia Dixon from Mystique. She did that at Washer. You Don't Wear Shirt That Gene box of Ricky Hatton. October,

Sidey: a comeback.

Reegs: First Chinese taut, Lou Yang, the first Chinese woman in space. Mike Tyndall, rugby captain on the 18th

Sidey: royalty now.

Reegs: Yeah. Gwen, he is. Yeah. Gwendolyn Christie, English actress, game of Thrones,

Sidey: or Yeah. Remember the name. Brianna Taf.

So February, 1979 includes Jordan Peele and Mina SUV footballers, Pascal Chimbonda and Britt Eron. Bre Bear, McCreary, American composer for film, television, et cetera. Did the Walking Dead ages of shield, et cetera, and video games. Finding some from when Dan was young is proving tricky of course, but in January, 534 [00:21:00] years before Christ epsis is often called the first actor credited with stepping outta the Greek chorus to speak as an individual.

Sidey: crikey,

Reegs: there by earning actors. The nickname Thespians,

Dan: Well, he, he, he did well, I remember. Yeah.

Sidey: Who can forget Marge Simpson's 34th birthday.

Reegs: I can't.

Sidey: I can't. Homer bought her a bowling ball. Well, it was really for him. And Marge almost has an affair with some French guy at the bowling alley. Yeah.

Reegs: Hands touch as they get the balls,

Sidey: Yeah.

And.

Silence of the Lambs. Hannibal Lec, her phones out at the end of the film and he says, I do wish we could chat longer. I can't do the voice. But I'm having an old friend for dinner and that is on Clarice's birthday. Is it? Yeah.

Reegs: know

Sidey: Which is quite sexy. Logan's run.

Dan: Oh yeah,

Sidey: get 30 of them and that's it. Yeah.

Dan: is it. Then you are running,

done, or well, you're floating up to maybe get eternal life. No, you're gonna explode when you get about five meters of the, the roof.

Sidey: And big another's [00:22:00] Tom Hanks classic. He makes a wish on his birthday. And we watched the game where Michael Douglas's birthday present is.

Reegs: that was going to kick off having a birthday by yourself. 'cause that's what he does.

Dan: Yeah. Well, he's four done that 48.

Sidey: wish my 30th birthday ahead of my, it's great.

happy days.

Cris: Batman begins Bruce Wayne tens 30, and he tells all his friends fake friends of Free Lo to leave.

Which is quite a nice scene. And that's gonna

Reegs: leave, I think he says, doesn't

Cris: I don't think he says that,

Dan: I think he's gotta get the bat out, isn't he? He's gotta get the man.

Sidey: like a euphemism.

Dan: gonna

Cris: he takes his bat out. And that's gonna be my norm because I, I don't have any more

birthdays

Dan: I was going to do the game. That was gonna be my No,

Sidey: You still can,

Dan: well, I'm not sure that [00:23:00] I will now because I'm gonna choose one that none of you guys really like that much. But I do. It's a Billy.

Crystal. One City Slickers. Ah, because res it's you, the who loves it. Have I numbed this? I wanna do it again if I haven't,

Sidey: we haven't. No.

Dan: it again. I really like this film, city Slickers. He's about turn 40. You got Jack Palance. As a,

Sidey: of these people cowboy.

Dan: You don't like

Sidey: You don't like him? I don't like, it's not, they don't like, but I'm sure he is a nice fella. I just don't find him funny. And given that he's in a lot of comedies, dad doesn't work

Dan: him. He's, he's

not ha ha funny. He's not, he's not

Sidey: trouble when he's supposed to be comedian,

Dan: it is kind of observationally funny. IFI find, and,

Reegs: funny to look at

Cris: what does that even mean?

Dan: It means that he just finds himself in funny situations and, and the reactions that he has rather than telling one liners and jokes and everything like that.

For me anyway he's having a bit of a midlife crisis and. Does what any midlife crisis guy does. He, he says I'm going to become a [00:24:00] cowboy and jumps on a horse and takes all his mates with him. And he, I, I imagine that's part of the story 'cause he does meet a girl there along the way. But yeah, I quite like that one and that's gonna be my.

Reegs: Torn between two horror movies. One we did for the Pod Midsummer. It, there's a really shit it shows how shit their relationship is Florence Pugh and her boyfriend.

He's forgotten her birthday. Impella, one of the friends, if you remember, is kind of, has remembered and has put together a really thoughtful kicks off eventually the boyfriend being sewn into a bear suit and being burned alive. And but I'm gonna choose, Nope. Have you seen that?

No. It's the Jordan Peele one. It features a scene that's like heavily described and talked about and alluded to by the other characters, which you only kind of see in one brief moment where a chimpanzee goes is completely fucking mental at a birthday party that's being filmed live on television.

And it like, it's like flesh going everywhere. About five people killed. Like yeah. Great, great, great seed. Nope,

Cris: [00:25:00] Nope.

Sidey: Some more musical ones quickly. The Beatles birthday, they say it's your birthday. It's my birthday too. Yeah. 50 cent in the club. I think he means in the club? It's Typo.

Go shorty.

Reegs: My mum used to call him 50%

Cris: Go,

Sidey: shorty, it's your birthday.

Reegs: yeah.

Sidey: yeah, we gone a party like it's

Reegs: it is your

Sidey: Yeah, I said it twice. And then Nick Cave of the bad seeds. Fame. He was in a band before that and they were called the birthday party.

Yeah, very like Yeah. Post-punk kind of, chaotic guitar noise. So I'm going for the birthday party.

Dan: Okay. Oh wow. Let's hear yours.

Reegs: Send us your birthday or let us know if it's your birthday soon. Or send a card, a birthday card to down dog and get invited to Chris's next birthday party.

Dan: the big and, and add in your noms for it as well. You might as well use the space on the card.

Sidey: Yeah. It wasn't that long ago that we did the first Happy Gilmore.

Dan: No. It wasn't that

Sidey: There was a much bigger gap between the actual films, but we are hot off the press because it only came out [00:26:00] on Friday.

Dan: is, this is Us. This is going for all those people who are gonna be thinking, oh, what's it like? I'm gonna

Sidey: so excited to see this

Dan: three hours of a podcast and try and get

Sidey: this is, I think it's the r pb for review release time.

Dan: Yeah.

Sidey: We are three days off.

Dan: Yeah. 'cause I actually numbed this before it even come out.

Sidey: Yeah.

Dan: That's how hot off the press I

Sidey: I, I watched it on release day.

Dan: ooh.

Sidey: And then had to watch the last half hour ago 'cause I first asleep.

Dan: Right. Okay.

Reegs: I wonder, have, have you got the numbers? 'cause I bet it's been successful already,

Sidey: Has they, they don't give you numbers, they'll just say that it's

Reegs: strong numbers. Chris is saying,

Sidey: Yeah.

Netflix will say their numbers

Dan: straight to Netflix, wasn't it?

Sidey: But they'll just say it's their number one stream. They didn't tell you how

Yeah. I do have a sort of budget figure for, it says 30 million question mark. Which seems

some money. Yeah. But we, yeah, the film sort of picks up, picks up years down the line, isn't it?

Reegs: Isn't

there even a little recap of

Sidey: Yeah, I think we do get a

Reegs: [00:27:00] movie,

Dan: and it flashes

back a few times. We find out that Happy was happily married and carried on popping out kids and winning trophies

Sidey: because yeah, when we left them, they were just married. Yeah. There's no kids in the first, but now he's got four kids.

It's like Norm. Four boys. Yeah. And then they've had another girl. And finally the fifth one is the girl. Yeah.

Dan: Yeah.

Reegs: He could finally stop. Yeah. Yeah. So they've had five kids and he's gone on to have a decent career in the majors. One

Five times over 16 years. Yeah.

Sidey: but then

something's gone awry. He's hit one of his big booming drives

Dan: And she was in the way of

Sidey: Pulled it, yeah. To the left. And it's smacked his,

Dan: She's the, the late Yeah. Out of modern family. And and that was it. We'd never seen her again afterwards. That

Reegs: that's it. Dead Virginia

Dan: right between the eyes as Clint would've placed a golf ball, I guess, as well.

Sidey: Yeah. So she's Ghana.

Reegs: Yeah. And it kicks [00:28:00] off a sort of spiral into alcoholism for happy.

And he gets to a place where he's like hiding

alcohol. in increasingly absurd

Sidey: Yeah.

Reegs: It's a really funny gag. Yeah.

Dan: Yeah. There it is. It's everywhere. It's in the TV remote. It's in the cuckoo clock.

Reegs: in the

Sidey: A cucumber.

Dan: In a cucumber.

Reegs: in the cucumber in his phone later.

Dan: And yeah, he's, he slipped so far that he's working filling the aisle.

Sidey: a shelf stacker in the supermarket and someone approaches him. It is Benny Ty the film maker who directed him in

Reegs: uncut gems. Yeah.

Sidey: and he approaches him and says, no, I know who you are.

I've got

Reegs: Oh, just before that, when it's like to signal is declined, there's like a a shot where it dissolves from somebody like sprinkling their lawn to Steve BMI pissing in

Sidey: their box.

Reegs: It's fucking so

Sidey: This is the 15th film of Adam Sauna That BMI's been in, is it? Yeah.

Dan: I didn't know that.

Sidey: So this guy, this guy approaches him who's saying I've, I've got, you know, I've, I've got Rich off this energy drink [00:29:00] company that he's got like a Red Bull kind of monster drink proxy.

And he's starting this golf league live golf. And he wants, he needs some big names to kind of sell it. So he wants to get happy

Dan: Yeah,

because he was antigo, he was the guy that,

Sidey: Yeah.

Dan: Made everybody

Reegs: the establishment, didn't he? Of

Dan: but

Because of his wife. He, he ended up loving golf and and doesn't want to disrespect the game.

Reegs: Now he's a part of the establishment. He wants to protect it. There's a lesson for us all there

Dan: There you go. And so he tells him where to go. It's a big mistake. Of course, he says.

Happy. He's too drunk to care.

Reegs: Yeah. But it, he's gonna be spurned on because his

Sidey: I think immediately from the supermarket goes home and his daughter's dancing.

His actual daughter. His actual

Reegs: And she wants to go to this PRIs. She's really talented, super amazing. Wants to go to this prestigious ballet school in Paris, I think. And it costs some [00:30:00] obscene

Dan: 75 grand a year, is it? Yeah.

Cris: Did you want to go there as well?

Dan: the, the ba Well, you know, i, I went on full scholarship because I was better.

But you know, some people have to

pay.

Sidey: everyone has that luxury, Dan. No. So they're like, well, I know you were good at golf. What if you were good enough to get back on the tour? And then if you could, and he is got John

Reegs: I was about to say the Alco. Yeah. John Dailey sort of lives in his garage

Sidey: his basement or something.

Yeah. Yeah. And he's like, well. He goes, well, I'm not good enough to win. He is like, you don't have to be good enough to win on the tour. If you come 30th, you'll still make a million. So, just do that. So he goes and he has a round of golf at the local sort of municipal

Dan: course. Yeah. Something like Wheatland which is our

sort of local, say we've

Sidey: already had.

John Daly Bahi me. This is a really Nepo film as well.

Reegs: Oh yeah. Just Sandler. We get all his friends and all

Sidey: Now we get the, the round of golf he plays. It's got what's Michael Qua? Michael Qualy. Eric, yeah. And the other guy's probably [00:31:00] famous if you know everything.

Yeah.

Reegs: So we get to see what it's like to, if happy a sort of drunk, happy Gilmore plays.

Sidey: They don't recognize him 'cause he's got big shades on. He is got his hat down and he goes to do the Happy Gilmore, you know, run up to the ball and they're like, oh, happy Gilmore. Don't,

Reegs: guy goes, oh, my dad tried to do that and he looks like an idiot or whatever, and he lines it up and then he misses,

Sidey: spectacularly, stacks it.

Reegs: misses it.

Yeah,

Dan: Yeah, but he, he does manage a couple of the old shots towards the back nine.

Sidey: Eventually twig. I think he takes his hat off and they're like, oh my God, it's you.

Dan: Yeah. And, but he's

Sidey: But he is, he is hopeless

Dan: He's getting more and more drunk as he goes around the, the

Sidey: This is where he's got like the rangefinder and he just screws.

It has another drink. Like literally everything he holds is, is got drink in

Reegs: Yeah.

it's, the

funny side of alcoholism, isn, isn't

Sidey: Yeah.

Dan: And, but Happy's clearly got a problem and his golf is, is no good because of it. But he's still obviously wants to see his daughter through and gets more and [00:32:00] more

Sidey: Well, he's encouraged to go to a meeting, isn't he? To admit that he's got a problem. He goes to an AA meeting.

Reegs: He

how or healing our keys for life. They don't like to call them alcoholics.

Sidey: and the person who's leading the meeting turns out to be Ben Stiller. Who, Who, who,

Reegs: who would've guessed Yeah.

Sidey: Who is like, you know, the sort of villain of the piece in the first one. Yeah. He's, he's just manipulating all these people. It's been like fucking horrible to them.

Reegs: Yeah. Really horrible. And getting him to wash his car and

Sidey: and like, what's the cause of your alcoholism and just like, just being fucking brutal. Yeah. And there's, there's another daughter in this, I think the girl that's encouraging him is his daughter. Yeah. So he is got a, you know, he is got a problem, but he is gonna get cleaned up enough to have a go at getting on.

So it does get entered into a golf event and it goes spectacularly

Reegs: Well, first off, there is quite a good scene just where he, he gets on with all the other yellow jackets,

Sidey: Oh, sorry. It does go back into the, the

Reegs: yeah.

And we see a load of golfers. I didn't know who they all are, but they're all in on the [00:33:00] joke, aren't they? One of them's going, oh, that's what she said at all the wrong

Sidey: times.

Yeah.

So, if you do care about golf that send shuffle, you've got Ricky Fowler keeps going to him. That's doesn't, that wouldn't,

Dan: that's not the right, not the right

Sidey: There's a really good gag with Palmer

Reegs: Palmer and Jack Nicholas. That one was really

Sidey: Well, there's also Scottish Scheffler 'cause he famously got arrested at the U-S-P-G-A.

Last year and he gets arrested in this and he goes, I'm not,

Reegs: Yeah.

Sidey: Bryson de Shambo. But what is interesting is this is obviously like a Liv Golf USPJ thing, but four of the people they actually picked for the main cast, two of them are Liv and two of them are USPJ.

Reegs: Yeah,

I'm sure that's not an

Dan: And Rory Roy as well in there, didn't you?

Sidey: You had Rory who was the champion of the U-S-P-G-A. Yeah. And then,

Reegs: yeah, because this is where he is he's gonna pick up his caddy from here as a sort of me dumb Mexican waiter who's also a famous rapper.

I didn't know who it was, but his boss is Travis Kelsey, isn't it? From he

Sidey: he just follows him through a table.

Yeah. And. [00:34:00] He gets flashbacks to his previous caddy. 'cause the guy's going to, oh, you've got your stuff. He's like, yeah, yeah. And he goes, oh, I can't believe last time I forgot a caddy. And he is thinking, fuck, I haven't got a caddy. Yeah. So he gets in, but he has flashbacks to his old caddy and that turns out to be Will Z Terrace?

Yeah. In this who's,

Reegs: he's on the tour.

Sidey: a,

pro, he is a pro

Dan: I thought Travis was pretty good in this actually.

I thought.

Sidey: Some of the sports stars in this are like fucking so wooden.

Dan: Yeah, they are. But he wasn't one of them. Travis, I thought actually he

Sidey: probably got a career in the media after

Dan: Yeah. Yeah.

Reegs: I thought he was dead good in

Sidey: I think he has retired now as well, hasn't he? After they got beat,

Dan: I can see that. I can see that he

He will make that transition to be honest.

Reegs: Dunno, this was a part, you know, a good

Dan: for him. Yeah.

but he seemed more natural in it. Then as you say, some of the other

Sidey: some of me are like, oh,

Dan: just a little too nervous and wooden in front of

Sidey: But he enters he goes to his he doesn't go to his angry place straight away. Does he just 'cause he has Ben Still's face on the ball later on. It's not, [00:35:00] it's not

Reegs: No it isn't.

Sidey: he goes, it's like spectacular success for the first three rounds and he actually goes into the last

Reegs: There's a little bit of commentary though, isn't there? Because like, he's a big driver, obviously. That's the thing about Happy Gilmore, but everyone's a big driver now and they're all gonna fucking smash it.

So, you know, his competitive advantage has gone like

that.

Dan: that. Well they're, they're playing out on Mother's Day the last day, aren't they? Yeah. And they're,

Sidey: It's all too much for him.

Dan: they're kind of leaning into that with a commentary and those that don't want him to, to win.

He

Sidey: playing some fella. Who we've not seen

Reegs: Haley, Joel

Sidey: Yeah. Who's like a real journeyman, but he's made it

Reegs: they keep getting his name wrong.

Sidey: Yeah. And he's like obviously a bit of a lose

Dan: Yeah.

Sidey: But happy, completely self implodes. He starts drinking during the round.

Dan: yeah,

Sidey: it all goes to shit. He throws away his chance to win, but he does make. Like, John Deley said, you don't have to win. You still get prize money

Dan: he makes, he makes the cut because, makes, he

Sidey: some money.

Dan: Well, he makes it into the, he

Reegs: makes it into the position. So he gets 400, he wins 496,000, doesn't he? But he's [00:36:00] fined half a million,

Dan: Yeah.

Reegs: so he owes them four grand.

Dan: owes him four grand. That's right. Which a big fine. But he, he does. What does he do? He, he fights with somebody,

Reegs: well before that, he goes to his happy place to get some advice from Virginia because in the, in the first film it was her in lingerie holding beers. But obviously now he's a sort of recovering alcoholic.

First of all, he goes to meet her there and has a chat and sort of smooth things over all that. Then he goes to his actual happy place now 'cause he is 50. His happy place is the toilet. He's reading on his. Phone in the toilet. I just thought that was a lovely touch. Except for Rob Schneider coming by and a uni a midget or some, not a midget.

A

Sidey: small person. He yeah. Then on the course we see like Richard Kill's son. There's so many throwbacks he get, he needs, he's gonna need some coaching.

Right. So guess who we're gonna get? It's like Chubbs his son or

Dan: Yeah, well we get shoot McGall.

comes

Sidey: He's locked up.

Dan: So shoot, McGavin is on a parole hearing and when he hears you know, the, the story, [00:37:00] he's, he's manages to hold it together until they talk about happy having the yellow jacket. And he just can't, you know, can't keep his call and totally lose it in front of the parole. But then that.

Yeah, Frank Manatee. He, he,

Reegs: great name. Yeah.

Dan: he, he busts him out. He's got influence, he's got money and he wants him to play against happy as part of his team. But mcg, gavin's the same. He's like, I wouldn't play like, you want to make all, all gimmicky and everything. And he's a, he's a pure golf man. So he ends up throwing a, some cult or some.

Boiling hot water with tea in it on his face, doesn't he? And, and running off. And he meets then happy at the grave of his

Reegs: Did you say about him Shaw Shanking when he came out of prison?

'cause I did enjoy that as well. When he is released from the

Sidey: was he,

Reegs: Shaw

Dan: But they, they kind of make up, they have a, a big epic fight and then

Reegs: in the graveyard where [00:38:00] loads of people from the first movie are buried I think including Mr. Larson and the granny and all sorts are in there.

Dan: And so it,

Sidey: they kind of reconcile, don't they? He is gonna, they, they need each other. Because they're both kind of,

Dan: so it's all

Reegs: in the end, they want to defend golf. They're

Dan: Yeah. And it's all getting kind of ridiculous now because as the, the new golf course is presented, it's like nothing you've ever seen. You can't even see the flag across.

Sidey: Well, the ma the maxi guy, the ma the guy

Reegs: Frank Manatee, he,

Sidey: he, he says, right, look at this guy from the 1950s. He was just a hustler. He would go to driving ranges, smash the ball, like five, 600 yards. Take everyone's money and fuck off. And he's like, he never played on the course.

He was just, just long drives and it turns out he had this injury.

Reegs: Yeah. He didn't have a particular ligament or whatever it fucking was. So,

Sidey: you could replicate with

Reegs: And when they show this old video footage of him and he's like twisted like a pretzel Right. When he goes, so Billy,

Sidey: Yeah. [00:39:00] The lose machine

Reegs: lose machine. The lose machine, he's had it done.

Yeah. Which is sort of revealed. I think as he turns round and looks directly at him as his body's like 180 degrees.

Sidey: Yeah. So that that basically means they can do

the happy. game we

Reegs: They're cheating. They're cheating, aren't they?

Sidey: But there's so much cheating. There doesn't seem to be any rules of the game in the Maxi thing when they do get down to playing

Reegs: Yeah, I would watch that. Golf

Dan: more like crazy golf, isn't it? On a huge course.

Reegs: It's got like dune buggies and giant fans

Sidey: and

the green is elevated. But when you stand on it, it tilts. So it's,

Reegs: that's for the final round, isn't it?

Sidey: yeah, yeah. So there's like all kinds of crazy shit going on. There's one guy with a chainsaw Yeah.

For, for reasons.

Reegs: Yeah. He's called Screech

For reasons again.

Dan: Yeah. Eminem comes out at one point.

Reegs: He's the son of the guy who heckled,

Sidey: Yeah.

Dan: in the first film. In

Reegs: the first film. In the first film. Yeah. And he's unfortunately

Sidey: he gets fed

Reegs: savagely eaten

Sidey: alligator.

Reegs: Yeah.

Sidey: So there is just a million cameos in this.

Reegs: [00:40:00] Yeah.

I think just to ro round out the plot, it ends up with this impossible shot, basically, as you'd expect on, like you said, this tilting.

Sidey: Well, they seem to cheat. They, they just, I mean, it's.

Manatee himself, who stands on the green and levels it out for,

Reegs: he makes it move afterwards,

Sidey: Haley, Joel to hold out and so it's left to.

Happy. He's hit it into the bunker. Then he is managed to Rico a share shot onto the green. But there's no way to get onto the green himself to take the part.

Reegs: Mm-hmm.

Sidey: So they figure out a way with his caddy and himself to do it together.

Dan: That's right. Yeah.

Sidey: right. Yeah. And time it right. But then Manatee gets his phone out and he's got an app to, to then make the green spin round, which he puts up to the max.

Reegs: Is when he has to, he tells they have to do like a club swap with the caddy.

He tells him to go to his happy place and it's tra he's smearing Travis Kelsey and honey, I.

Sidey: not the bear.

Reegs: So anyway, yeah, he gets the club and he makes the shot and blah, blah, blah. [00:41:00] Everybody goes wild. There's lots of, you know, celebratory look at all the cameos and all that. One that I really liked was, it goes back to the like psychiatric unit and the head of, it's like, what the hell?

Why doesn't everybody just go and he lets everybody leave? I was making me laugh.

Sidey: Yeah. How did oh. There's a, a warrant for,

Reegs: frank Manatees taken.

Dan: Yeah.

Sidey: Ben, Ben Stiller gets arrested or He is Well, he is at least running off down the

Dan: Yeah. The mon the Monster drink gives you really bad breath is

Sidey: there's been an ongoing joke about his halitosis? Yeah. Yeah. Like Stinky Matthews.

Reegs: Harry happy gets his three month coin. proven his sobriety for 90 days. And then they go off to,

Dan: well, they're hug o she's going to Paris for

Sidey: The boys are going with her. Yeah.

And he's staying back 'cause he's got play the, I hate when they say this, the British,

Reegs: the British open. The British open.

just And then we finish with Abraham Lincoln, obviously Chubbs, Peterson and Crocodile. The crocodile. And

Sidey: and Graham.

Reegs: then grand and a few more then go in, don't they?

Sidey: Yeah. Yeah. It's a commentator thing [00:42:00] and.

Reegs: some of the people who

Dan: and there, there was some bits at the end after the

Sidey: there's a post credit scene. Yeah.

Dan: Which was that,

Reegs: Didn't that, I can't remember what

Sidey: They talk about the downfall of Maxi Energy.

Reegs: right. yeah, yeah.

Dan: And that was, that, that was the the long awaited Gilmore two. Obviously the. The surprise is out, you know, the first one, you know, that you're not sure what to expect. And it had all that raw kind of energy and it flashes back a few times to a young Adam Sandler in this film when you see that

Sidey: thank God it was quite a long time ago. When

Dan: And you, yeah, you realize just kind of how you young he was and that character. So they had to obviously lean into the fact that he's a lot older now and they've played that whole life out in between. It's, yeah, I mean, it had a few gags. Let, let's be honest, it's really easy watching. It's if you've seen the first one, you will get round to watching this one at, at some stage, but you probably won't enjoy it quite as much as you [00:43:00] did the first one.

But it is got some gags. It's, it is maybe a little bit long. Yeah, it, it could have come in an hour and a half really. I think you could have lost some of the, the, the, the gags and the jokes. Maybe some of the cameos

Sidey: I was sort of watched it and thought, well that was fucking terrible.

But then I was like, well, what was I expecting?

Dan: Yeah,

Reegs: I've enjoyed it the more I've thought about

Sidey: yeah, I, when I watched the the, I had to go back and rewatch something 'cause I fell asleep. It was like, yeah, it was actually quite good fun. I like the McElroy

Reegs: beaned with the baseballs in the, oh, golf balls. It is actually, isn't it? That's fucking amazing.

Dan: they all

Sidey: It's too, there is too much of the, here's the joke from the previous one. You know, I just don't, one or two fine, but like so much of

Reegs: it, it's pretty much every joke recycled from the

Sidey: first one. Yeah. But I did still get a kick outta watching it. Especially, I was laughing when, 'cause shoot mcg Gavin can't do the shoot of celebration.

Yeah. That we, like, we've doing loads recently and he's having to coach him how to do,

Reegs: he actually puts his fingers in the guns.

Sidey: goes, come on, do like that.[00:44:00]

Dan: and, and so seeing some of those characters play out again was good, fun beat.

Reegs: oh man, it's just nice to see they all got a payday. Like, you know that guy shooting at Gavin, the guy who plays him, he got paid for. This is good. Again, we've had a lot of fun over the years with Happy Gilmore. They got some more money out of that shit,

Dan: yeah. Yeah. I mean, I doubt he was short of too much money, but why not have a few more quid on us? It's all part of my

Sidey: Do you think, do you think that would, you would tune in for this, Chris, if you got the chance?

Dan: Did you see the first

Cris: hear two hours.

Yeah. It's, I, I, I didn't watch it, so, and, and I watched the first one, I think with most of Sanders movies. I don't think I watched any of them the second time.

I enjoyed, I enjoyed a few of them and they're quite funny and all of them really are, are good enough.

Sidey: It's the sort of film that

Cris: the second time,

Sidey: yeah, it didn't need to have a sequel.

Cris: I dunno. Yeah, it's

just a bit, it's

Sidey: fine with just the one of them, but I did quite enjoy it.

Reegs: Yeah, same. Same. I really like, yeah,[00:45:00]

Dan: Yeah. I'm, I'm thinking about what Chris has said there. I think Hidden Gems was.

Cris: on called

Reegs: Uncut gems.

Dan: Was a hidden gem.

Cris: Yeah, but would you go and watch it again?
