Episode Synopsis

In the long and illustrious and meandering and uneven and hilarious career of Adam Sandler, "Happy Gilmore" stands out as a truly funny comedy classic, so much so that Netflix is dusting off the IP for a sequel, nearly thirty years later (yay...?). What makes this film so timeless? Where does it rank in Sandler's filmography? How is Shooter McGavin so incredible? How long can two grown men dissect one joke about sleeping with an elderly Asian woman? All of these questions and more will be shouted about ad nauseam in this brand new episode of The Bluff Council. CHOKE ON THAT, BABY. Note: There is a slight static/flicker that mysteriously appears at approximately the 20 minute mark; it only lasts for a minute or two.
