For the second installment of Rotten Comedy in the 2000s, we're checking in with two of the biggest comedy heavyweights of their generation. After dominating comedy in the 90s, Adam Sandler and Jim Carrey were riding high and cashing in on their blank checks in the new millennium. First up, it's the Farrely Brothers follow-up to the massively successful "There's Something About Mary," where the directors re-teamed with Carrey to tackle mental health and cucking with the bi-polar comedy "Me, Myself and Irene." After that, we're diving into Sandler's first box office flop: the santanic fish out of water comedy "Little Nicky" featuring The Sandman as the son of the Devil.
We're joined by podcast regular and certifiable Sandman Stan, Nick Laskin, to discuss the enduring popularity of Sandler, the Farrely Brothers' bizarre fetish for the mentally ill, cursed Smash Mouth cover songs, and the simple pleasures of laughing at a man with tits on his head.
"Me, Myself and Irene" is streaming on STARZ and "Little Nicky" is available to rent wherever you rent movies.
