Maxie, Rexy, and Crystal are joined by Morgan of Cartoon Buffoons to discuss Rich Wilkes’ 1994 cult classic comedy: Airheads. This is a rare example of Adam Sandler in a third-billed role, where he mostly supports the journey of Brendan Fraser’s character.
Is Airheads a soulful celebration of Gen X rock culture, flaws and all, or is it the journal of a man coming to terms with selling out? One thing’s for sure: Sandler plays a socially conscious drummer who’s popular with the ladies!
It’s the inaugural episode of Audio Entropy’s newest podcast: Three Grown Ups! Maxie, Rexy, and Crystal are going to watch every movie starring Adam Sandler, in release order.
Our journey begins with Valerie Breiman’s 1989 direct-to-video comedy: Going Overboard. This is Adam Sandler’s very first leading role, before he even worked for Saturday Night Live.
Is Going Overboard a Brechtian ode to classic heterosexual television, or is it the worst film ever made? One thing’s for sure: Sandler plays a floundering cruise ship worker who dreams of becoming a comedian!
