Listen "Episode #130 – Don’t Mess With The Zohan (2008)"
Episode Synopsis
On the gloriously unhinged 130th episode of Fear and Loathing in Cinema, Bryan, Chelsea, Wade, and, making a cameo so brief it rivals Dave Matthews in Don’t Mess With the Zohan, Preston, plunge headfirst into Adam Sandler’s 2008 absurdist comedy of a movie. You remember Zohan, don’t you? The one that critics in 2008 treated as though it had personally wronged them, like a bagel shop that ran out of lox and schmear.
The plot, if you can call it that, involves Sandler as a cartoonishly invincible Israeli commando who fakes his death, defects to New York, and fulfills his true calling: cutting hair and romancing Jewish grandmothers with the sort of sensuality usually reserved for X- rated Werther’s Originals commercials. It’s a premise so deranged that even Roger Ebert, God bless him, recognized it as a minor work of genius while everyone else sharpened their critical pitchforks.
