About this episode

The episode discusses Adam Sandler's 'Billy Madison' and its impact on 90s comedy.

Season 4 is kicking off with chaos... as we head back to school with Adam Sandler’s "Billy Madison" (1995), his first studio lead film and a cornerstone of ‘90s studio comedy, and a film that firmly tests the patience of at least one of our hosts... Is it a dumb comedy classic, or the exact kind of low-brow humor that should’ve been "held back forever"? Make a film recommendation for an upcoming episode! Thank you for listening!
