Truly Happily Madison

15: Grandma's Boy

Is it a cult hit or a pile of shit? Jack and Josh do a deep dive into what is Allen Covert's first and only lead role in a feature film. Does a film that embraces bro culture and stoner humour have a place in 2021? Probably not but listen anyway, what else are you up to?

    The time has come! It's the only female lead Happy Madison movie. Writer and comedian Sydney Holmes joins Jack and Josh to talk about the Anna Faris vehicle The House Bunny.

    After a week off, Jack and Josh have returned to fight their greatest foe yet; racial stereotypes. That's right, it's time to get political with Adam Sandler's Mossad agent comedy You Don't Mess With the Zohan. Follow @TruHapMad on Twitter and Instagram Email us at truhapmad@gmail.com
  • 21: Strange Wilderness

    01:25:50|
    This week Jack and Josh face the ultimate challenge... can they pretend to care about a movie that ultimately doesn't care about itself? We watched 2008's Strange Wilderness and wished we didn't. Follow @TruHapMad on Twitter and Instagram Email us at truhapmad@gmail.com
  • 20: I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry with Jemal Polson

    01:48:16|
    Journalist Jemal Polson joins us to discuss the 11th highest grossing film in the Happy Madison filmography, I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry. This episode holds the Guinness World Record for the most times the word "horrible" is used to describe a movie. Join us as we delve into a movie that seemingly wants gay rights to come forward while secretly pushing back at them all the while. It's a film that definitely will hold up in the cold light of 2021.

    We all go a little serious, sometimes. Comedian Maddie Campion joins us to discuss a rare Happy Madison drama, Reign Over Me. Does Sandler successfully make the move to drama?

  • 18: Click with Amon Warmann

    01:27:30|
    Don't touch that remote as we're joined by Empire Magazine's Amon Warmann to chat the 2006 film Click. Is Sandler a better dramatic actor than a comedic one? Does this film deserve to be Happy Madison's only recipient of an Academy Award nomination? Does Josh have a heart of stone? All of these questions will be touched upon, but not necessarily answered within this weeks episode.

  • 16: The Benchwarmers

    01:37:04|
    It's a sad day... it's the last film this podcast will cover that features Rob Schneider in the leading role. Despite that tragedy, Jack and Josh soldier on to discuss whether or not Napoleon Dynamite is still funny (or if it ever was), cricket vs baseball, and their top 5 sports comedies of all time.
