Featuring special guest and Dave Matthews Band's biggest fan, Danny Benson
On this week's episode of the Billy Gilmore podcast—an Adam Sandler appreciation podcast— we revisit Sandler's first of three 2002 features, Mr. Deeds. This remake of Frank Capra's 1936 film tells the story of Longfellow Deeds, an icon of his small hometown of Mandrake Falls, New Hampshire. Good fortune encounters Deeds after he inherits 40 billion dollars from his late uncle. To become the sole heir, Deeds takes a journey to the Big Apple where he meets an onslaught of paparazzi who want the scoop on the world's newest billionaire. Among the journalists is Babe Bennett, played by the wonderfully iconic Winona Ryder. There's a lot to unpack here with several product placements, a full roster of Sandler Squad, and the slumming love interest. So join us, won't you? Did we mention Deeds writes Hallmark cards? We hope you fall in lub with our newest episode, Mr. Deeds!
"Hard to breathe / Feels like floating / So full of love my heart's exploding. / Mouth is dry / Hands are shaking / My heart is yours for the taking. / Acting weird / Not myself / Dancing around like the Keebler elf. / Finally time / for this poor schlubb / To know how it feels to fall in lub."
