All right, everybody. Come on. Out on the dance floor. Whoa, look at the happy couple. It's your pride. Welcome to 1985. Once again, be the only DJs. I'd like to spin it. Mix it, throw it back, and dissect it, boy. Here with another classic throwback movie review. This one coming with a 1998 film, The Wedding,

singer DJ Jag, DJ Castle. Before we start with the wedding singer, ladies and gentlemen, can we first start with our mics? You want to start with the mics? Guys, if you're not paying attention to the YouTube, it's also a chance to promote their YouTube. That's how we're supposed to do it. And then we're supposed to say subscribe all that bullshit. Our mics are fantastic.

I'm able to adjust. I can get mad. Throw the mic away. Bring the mic back and we're back in business. Listen to the mics. It's more about the claw or whatever. You should give a shout-out to the company. A-O-A-K-O

I don't believe you pronounce that right A-A-O-K-E-O-A-O-K-E-O. Either way, this thing is fantastic. I don't know if it works that way. It moves, it sticks to where you want it to talk. So shout out to you, let us talk to you. I can bring it way back here and just be like, all right, let me talk to you for a second.

And then put it away, and then put it away and walk away. Put it away. There's a good chance that nobody will be excited or care about these, except for us. Just be a little bit more professional. Absolutely. Come a long way since we were recording the back of my garage. But yes, the wedding singer.

It's an Adam Sandler vehicle, a music-based rom-com, but I think more than anything, it's a time period stamp of 1985. So we're dissecting a movie that takes place in 1985, 40 years ago now, that was actually shot about 30 years ago here in 2026 in the now. Another quick question before you jump into it. Is Adam Sandler our top movie person that we have gone over? He actually is. I actually realized that her.

today. This is the fourth time we've dissected Adam, you are been a big part of our lives. He's the league leader in the clubhouse. We've dissected

Happy Go More 1, happy go more 1, happy go more 2, and uncut gems. So this is the fourth. I knew. I was like, I feel like we've done Adam. Yeah. All right, so continue back on

what you were doing. I apologize. And I got to say, so this was the official triple crown for Adam as he started his movie career. And I think because he started on such a hot note

for his movie career, it really let him do whatever he wanted to do still to this day. Like, he's able to get away with making a lot of stuff that, like, it's just generic Adam Sandler. Like, I don't think many of his films have captured the imagination like his first three did when he came out with Billy Madison, then Happy Gilmore. And then this one, and he was just off and running.

And he really just, like, do you know wrong, even though he kind of actually could. But cinema was ready to, like, make whatever he put his name attached to. And fair play, too, because, like, you can't get a much better start to a movie career than this. And I think this is the movie that really brought it home. because while Billy Madison and Happy Gilmore were both very much like Adam Sandler type movies and Adam Sandler type comedy, this was a movie.

This was like a story. This was a rom-com. They brought in Drew. Drew Barrymore, which then almost, I think, became like his movie wife for like... Yeah. Because they made like several movies together. They have great on-stream chemistry.

Gotta give it to him with that. Yeah. So what I love about this is that in 1998, 1985 seemed like decades ago. It seemed like a long time ago. It seemed like such... I was there in 1988, our 1998, and I remember when this movie came out, and it felt like such like a trip down memory lame that like our parents and a little bit of our childhood we can kind of recall from like,

oh, I remember when everything looked like that? Remember when people dress like that? That's what weddings were like? Yeah. They used to have a, oh, yeah, yeah. Everything is so blinding colors and everybody's just so unapologetic with like their outfit choices and they're dancing and everything. And when you consider it to now, if we were to make the same time period different, that this movie was to 1985, it would be 2013.

And I just, like, there's no way that you could make a movie about 2013 now and be like, do you remember then? Remember how, look at how different everything was. And everybody would have nostalgia for it and everything. What songs were in our 2013 jam wagon mix during those? You remember that one? Yeah. What were some of the tracks that are?

DJ Snake. Turn down for what? That was back then? That was 2013. Yeah. That's the first one that comes to mind. Probably some Drake songs, who's the, is, you know, still doing it at the same clip I'd say.

So that's the thing is like, one thing that I've noticed. It still seems like it was like yesterday. The 90s really, I think, love that nostalgia type presentation. You know, that you had that 70s show and stuff. And like, you show those are movies that would like take you back in time. And that's something that made sense back then because decades back then all had such a specific identity. If you watch something that was playing back to like, oh, this was what was like in the 80s or this was like back in the 70s, It had a very specific look, vibe, music type.

And I feel like we've gotten away from that a little bit. A little bit. Because, like, we could now make something that's the 90s, and you would feel the 90s. Maybe the early 2000s is the last bit of that. But maybe we're just too close to it. I don't know. But it just times doesn't change like it used to. And I'll give you a specific example of that.

Go to a club in the 70s. If we were to time travel right now, what would it look like? It'd be more like a soul train feel to it, no? Am I? Yeah. Disco, a lot of heavy disco, probably disco dance floor.

You know, people, yeah, there you go. Exactly like that. On the screen, like a little soul train action, you know?

By the way, give me some credit on my fucking plane. I was like a quick pull-up, dude. I like to give myself credit. Although out of the love languages, I'm a, he's a big credit guy.

He's a big guy. He likes that credit. I did something, build me up. Yeah. I'm just that guy. So, yeah.

So that would be the 70s. And then the 80s is what you get. Stop this. Wait. Watch this first two. Oh, hey, go ahead. That guy's move could be a little better. He's getting it.

He's grooving. I'll give him that. Can you do it? No, but they all have different moves. But they have a different set of style. And then the 80s, you would see a club like the fantastic club that is in this movie. What do they call it? Spankies.

Spankies. Great club. I looked at that club scene and I was like, this media looks like any better than any club I've ever been in. Like, I love it. There's a guy break dancing on the floor. There's like crazy lights, neon colors. There would be like a little like water fountain wall, like in the walls, like little bubbles and stuff.

All this stuff. Walls, bright, shoulders, glistening. Yeah. So that's what an 80s club looked like. The 90s had a very specific kind of club style look, you know. And then if you think of what a club would look like any time in the past like 25 years, I feel like. 90s was busting out with the sweaty dyes.

Wait, what is this video even? Kid and play. Okay, yeah I ain't gonna hurt now It'll look like Yeah I'm gonna enjoy myself I'm left no problems up on the shit

So you can't continue with that Because you know you and I will start dancing Out of nowhere Matter of fact Come on Castle They used to sweat In the 90 I bought my mic back

Do these mics are fantastic Back then they used to sweat In each one of these clothes But okay Let's let's describe a club scene In any of the last 25 years What does that look like? It's probably gonna have

Bottle service tables It's gonna have You go 25 years, people were freak dancing. The point I'm getting at is that you could show anybody a video from a club from the 70s to the 80s to the 90s and they immediately be like, oh, I know what decade that is. Early 2000, maybe that. The last like 15 years, though, it'd be the exact same thing. It blends. It hasn't changed. The vision, the view, the way the style that everything looks has not changed.

And I think that's something that's missing from like the way we have nostalgic lens of how these decades moved very dramatically, style, presentation look and I think that's something that's missing a little bit you know we haven't had enough shake maybe there's too much fear of like change and cringe and don't want to like change up my style too much because like this is was working and maybe there's just too much presentation of social media and stuff and that's what's the thing I think it's more of like the focus on like okay is this cool enough to put out and then so it was it was it when you bring it to one point what's cool yeah just what's just like this everybody thought everything the general spectrum was cool now it's like because the algorithms like no

this is the only thing that's cool yeah get out of here And as a result, we get away from the change that would happen from these decades. And so it's nice to watch a movie that is actually now itself a nostalgic look at a nostalgic era. And the 80s is a great era to do that too because the 80s had a vibe. And this movie very much captures it. And they honestly do it immediately. Like that song that we opened with, Adam Sandler's rendition of You Spin Me Round, right round. Yeah.

Immediately, it tells you exactly what this movie is. There's Adam Seller. He's Robbie Hart. He's a wedding singer. He's rocking a wedding that is super 80s. And immediately you look at that wedding, you're like, this just looks like a party. It looks like everybody's having a blast. Everybody's wearing unapologetic, bright colors.

The set of this wedding is insane. And I got to say, actually, for that first wedding, I think it looks better than most weddings I've seen modern day. Like, even though it's, like, clearly 80s and, like, a little tacky, I think it's. That's cool set, you know. I think it's more because maybe you enjoy vibrance. You enjoy a party. You enjoy more of an energy scene rather than an elegance scene. And why the weddings will deal with in Orange County and stuff, go for more of the elegance vibe.

Right. And then Robbie in this scene, he's saying we're partying, spin it, everybody be on the dance floor. Grab each other's butts. Let's go. Well, it wasn't his party, though. It was the 80s type wedding. And I do feel like maybe. They partied harder.

I wasn't there in 1985, you know, so I don't know. But I would say that maybe they were just more down to have like bold choices with set design. Bride has like a headband on and stuff like that. And like they're just more daring with their fashion. And that is very clear in this entire movie. Like they establish everything I'd say beautifully in that first scene. Just like this is going to be the vibe of the movie. He's pointed around him.

He's like, hey, somebody gets some pants on that kid. Which, yeah, if you don't. Hey, put some fucking pants on that kid, dude. At a wedding. Hey, somebody get some pants on that kid. I know you might be used to the vision of that if that's your kid, but the rest of us, I'd rather have the kid have some pants on. You're your fucking kid.

And if he shits while his pants are off. Oh, my God, imagine. On you. She's holding him. It's the bride holding him. You get shit on. Yeah. They should have definitely repansed him before they started dancing around the floor.

But I digress. One thing you'll notice about this vibe, everybody's present. There's nobody, there's no phones. There's no phones for people to be off on them. There may be kids running around and stuff, but everybody's there. Like nobody's, nobody can be anywhere else. It's the same thing that's present in that club scene when they go to that. They go to Spankies, you know?

Everybody's just dancing. I got nothing else to do. I'm vibing. So you got to give and miss that part of this kind of scene. What's the Seller-deal with this old group? He has a passion of making the elderly look a little ridiculous. He's also giving him a scene. So he's giving him work.

I don't know. So what do you think? One of the things that you see in this movie that becomes a staple as the more you watch Adam Sandler movies over time is he has his certain things that are, he just clearly finds very funny. And some of them are like very juvenile jokes. Like there's a lot of like gay jokes and this and like a lot of us other stuff. There's a lot of fat people jokes.

Just basic. jokes. Adam Sandler clearly finds like old people hilarious. Whatever they do when they're doing that montage of the opening scene and there's like that old woman and she's like grabbing the couple dancing like oh and then right after that we first meet

Julia immediately sexually harassed. She shows off the sexual the sexual harassment that lived in the 80s for any waitress immediately some old guy grabs her ass and he's like and then she gets sexually harassed by the cook. I'm sexually harassed throughout this movie. Can we just say that about Julia?

Yeah, yeah. As a waitress, that was just the life you lived, I guess. That's terrible. And then anything with Rosie, the entire, like, every time Rosie's on screen, she's talking about the men she was with and, like, and she's singing the rap song at the end. I love Rosie, though, right? Yeah, she's a sweet old lady.

Who wouldn't like that? She's a great character in this. But, like, is another example of, like, whatever she's doing, Adam just finds it funny and, like, oh, like tipping them in meatballs and stuff. And then slamming her hands on. Like she didn't know that she just put meatballs in there as payment. Asinine. Just asinine and stuff like, oh, you're too old to know that you just did something ridiculous.

No, I'm sure she's fine. Yeah. Now, please take a bite so that I can watch you enjoy. That's my favorite part. Okay, well, I'll go with the right one. That looks good. That's a good meatball. I'm a good meatball.

Oh, listen to me, Robbie Hart. You're going to be a... Fine, high spurt. I hope so, Rosie, thank you. It almost takes it to an almost disrespectful point. Let's be real. He almost makes old people seem like, like they're just there to be funny.

Yeah, yeah, exactly. Aren't they old and dumb? Like, it's just ridiculous. And then, like, when he's like, who wants to dance with this lovely lady Julia? And the other guy's like, I'd like to do more than dance with her. And a high five.

There's like seriously like 10 different jokes. Or the guy in the bar, the old guy that ends up being blue in old school. Him like dancing. Like, he's like teaching him out of dance. and he's like, oh, I'm sorry, I used to be much stronger. Like, yeah. Constantly, he's, like, making jokes about all.

Like, yeah, that's just one of the things that he finds funny, as well as, like, having kind of funny-looking people, like, the guy that was in Grandma's Boy, that was always high. That guy is, like, at the beginning, like, looking at Steve Buscemi be a drunken mess as he's, like, the best man. He's like, oh, he's drunk as shit. Like, he just likes those kind of guys. The mutants at table nine.

And at this point, I think they were still fresh enough, and they're polished enough as, like, proper movie that he gets away with it in this movie, but it would be the kind of thing that as his career continues on, it just felt like was watered down with weaker examples of it, weaker attempts and like, yeah, you just got tired of him. Which I saw again, and you were so right. Yeah, it had a good first watch. For me, it was like, oh, that's cool first watch.

Then a second where you're like, oh, this is terrible. I don't know, the freshness wore off of what I was just, some, there's a lot of theatrics happening. A lot of just basic spoon-fed jokes. I don't know. I'm going off of tangents, but you're... Adam Sandler, so we can talk about it. Adam Sandler has always had this sort of juvenile, like, childish humor that has become clearly

noticeable in his movies. And it's very much throughout this bad boy. But I think... Still a favorite. Yeah, well, because it was... And I think because the combination of keeping it very 80s-based, but also there's a love story at play that's like a sort of tale as old as time, but it's very well performed and acted by him.

by him and like I said he has great chemistry with Drew Barrymore who I think is perfect in this role because she's constantly sort of playing that role where you're like you could see she's not completely sold on her fiancee like right from the beginning when he like first like oh that's a nice ring you have and she's like oh I don't know how serious the guy who gave me this ring is and then later on when they're like having the Sundays he's like you know when did you know Glenn was the right one she's like right one like you could just see she's doing just enough to like let you know like she has doubts about this guy but like she's just sort of and this is kind of thing i think we see in life sometimes where the the girl just you know

the show end up dating a guy for like a long time that's life man yeah you kind of get stuck and you get used to your routine with them and yeah and then it becomes more about like wanting to get married than even like really making sure like this guy is like the perfect one for you and and that's an element that this movie explores that i think is done about as well as you know anything that we've scene but but then you bring glenn to the picture and this gentleman of a man you know he likes to this character he does so many they the casting in this movie solid no man we talk about glen he just comes across as derbag the way he's dressed the way he carries himself yeah adam obviously he tells himself well drew barry more with her character julia with the um with a ben stiller's

wife the way she plays her well everybody just perfectly cast it and the fat friend The buddy that's a dirtbag, he's like, what are you talking about? All right. Okay, I'm going to jump to a category that we usually do later. Oh, hit it. Because we started kind of leaving off on the opening scene, it brings us to one of my favorite categories that we discuss.

And that is the Sixth Man Off the Bench Award. Oh, man. We're going straight to it. We're going right to that. I don't even think we need to wait to build up and talk about who's MVP, who's a 12th man and all this. The Sixth Man is a great one because I think to me, we have three candidates.

Steve Busemi coming right out of the gate. He was on my list. He possibly top. Giving the best man speech. Best man speech. Yeah. Who clearly has some pops issues that has not been resolved because he just keeps throwing darts at his dad over and over again, like right off the gate.

And you've been around a lot of weddings being a DJ, a wedding DJ. And I don't know how familiar it is that like you have the person going up to give the best man speech or the bridesmaid speech. and like they clearly are a little nervous, a little too drunk, and they start like kind of thrown out some weird awkward statements and then do the nervous laughter. Like, oh, Harold would never beat up his landlord. You know? Right, pops?

And he just keeps directing shit at him. Because Harold, you know, he's always been the dependable one. And I've always been the screwed up one. Right, Dad? Why can't you be more like your brother? Harold would never beat up his landlord? He's drunk as shit. But, uh, little newsflash, Pop.

Harold ain't so perfect. Remember that time in Puerto Rico when we picked up those two, uh... Well, I guess they were prostitutes, but I don't remember paying. Okay, how about that? How about that? Yeah. Terrific. I'm a person, too, Pop, God damn. I'm a person too!

You're a person too! You're a moron. Is this the thing that you've been... I've DJ, what, 900 weddings in my... Wow. Yeah. In my 24 years of my wedding, it's what I do. Which will come back to as far as wedding DJ and wedding singers.

Yeah, yeah, that's another thing I want to get into. But in my that amount of weddings, I've seen this about 10 times. One of the groups was actually good friends of ours and we'll leave it at that. But my goodness, this is why all you brides, grooms, all you guys, knock out the... the toe surly before everybody starts drinking. If you decide to wait until after dinner and they just had a buttload of shots, there's no telling what's coming on this microphone. And you know, you probably don't want to hear it.

We need to just get that, not let that happen. So yes, I think I've heard it about 10 times in my career. I think what happens is clearly the case with Steve Sennie's guy here right here. It's just like you have, maybe the concept of the wedding that you're at will bring up certain feelings within you. And then once you kind of start, like, diving into your speech, like, those thoughts, the intrusive thoughts of, like, what the actual... Alcohol will bring those straight to the forefront. And your thoughts that maybe you should keep yourself about the wedding. Like, once you kind of start, like, speaking from the heart as, like, bad as those thoughts from your heart are kind of take over.

And then, you know how it is? Like, sometimes when people have the microphone on the guy, they're like, I'm just going in. All right, I'm going in. I'm going there. Fuck, I started. Might as well finish. Yeah, yeah. Now I'm going to grab the guitar, again.

It's because I'm the best of good heart play in the world. Self-taught, no lessons. Thank you very much. Pops. He's playing the guitar now, isn't that great? Yeah, sounds good. It's got some of the best guitar player in the world. Yeah, self-taught, no lessons.

Thank you very much, Pop. All right. He'll be divorced in a year. Very good. He's got some shit to say, but like he... I love him. He's awesome in this role, and then, of course, and he comes back at the audition.

Realizes that the wedding... And boy George, what's the boy George? George. George are fantastic. He's like, I think I need to do that. And by the end, the movie has become a wedding singer himself. Yeah, yeah. Somehow.

I love it. He closes out the movie. Six man. All right. So Steve Besemi is one, who ends up, of course, I think really brings home his case when he's like, A wedding singer. See you later.

Sleep it off, pal. All right. Hey, you know, wedding singer. You can't. nail the drop off the sidewalk and then like the walk off and then the walk off like cool so that's number two then uh you got to of course include john levitz anytime john levitz drops into a movie he destroys his three minutes in this movie are you kidding me include him this is exactly what the six man award is all about just drop into the movie for like one scene and just he knocks out

every second he's on screen similar to he was the six man award winner when we did He dissected a league of their own. Same thing. He's a great six man. He just cooks every second he's on scene. Not a bad wedding singer, by the way. But like, especially if you're like wanting like an 80s type wedding series, a little cheesy. He has this inflated, uh, ego and like performative nature that you kind of, I think,

would want from your wedding singer a little bit. He does the box step. Can you show the box? No, you're the one that keeps talking about the box step. You, you do it. Oh, you're, oh, the actual, him doing it. Show it. Show it.

I've loved that move, ladies and gentlemen, since I've watched this movie. I've been doing that on the dance floor since I saw that move. It's a classic smooth move. John Levitts. And then you got to get... Shack a car! Shuck a cow! And then the...

Hey, this is Jimmy Moore. He slaps him. Jimmy Moore saying, that ain't no saga in my crotch. And yeah, our favorite move that he does is, or should I think, Linda? The double snap in a little, like. A little tap of a slap. Hey, no, thank you. For what?

For quitting. Or should I thank Linda? My business is tripled. Well, you've just inspired me to hire a DJ. So thank you. Oh, well, good luck finding a DJ who can move and shake like this. And then, of course, the last shot you see of him where he's... The curtain slowly.

He's losing his mind. And I'm going to reap all the benefits. Classic. Yeah. Literally every second he's on screen, he just cooks. You have a smile on your face entire time. Number two and number three.

All right. Number three, much lower low-key presence, but again, cooks with like every two lines that he has. And that is Glenn's runk, like, fat friend when they have the engagement party.

And he's like, hey, he's going to be so wasted of the wedding. He's not even getting another flowers in there. Oh, yeah. High five. top. And then he sees spots rob.

He's like, oh, I heard what happened to your wedding. He must have felt like shit. No, I felt great. Thanks. Yeah. So those are the candidates I would throw out there. I don't know. Who's your choice in that one?

If you had to pick one. No, those are three. Oh, pick out of those three? Yeah, yeah. Who's your winner, six man of the movie? The third guy he threw in is cool. Like, he definitely adds his stuff. But it's between the first two for sure.

Yeah. And I would say words per seconds on. screen standpoint. That guy has a strong case, but it's hard to beat Levitts and Bishemi in this one. And then with that, man, what a toss up. Well, you have to give the 51% to 49 edge. I got to give it to, man, I got to give it to the first guy. Bishemi.

Bishammy, man, although Lovitz kills it, he's there. But just because I've been, I know, I know, no one knows much is true. Love me and do. Yeah. I've been singing that bullshit forever with that. Plus he was in the beginning and the end so you get a double goes.

He's a good bookend moment, you know, which maybe also shows that he's grown since his whole, like, that was like a rock bottom moment for him. Last literally we see of him when Adam's helping the drunk kid throw up and he's like, wow. Whoa.

Who do you got for this? I got to go with Levitz. Yeah, I figured you would. And I, you know what? On a different day, I might go with Levitz. Yeah, yeah. He plays a great thing. Jimmy Moore.

So six-man award, giving up. All right. There it is. All right. So we brought it up a little bit. We touched it up for a second, but I would like to get, we have a little bit of unique perspective from you as a person that said you did 900 weddings. About. If not a little more.

Yep. Just under a thousand. Describe to me the difference between having a DJ, which I see, you see more nowadays. Is wedding singer still a thing? So wedding singer is now called a cover band. Oh, yeah. Okay. It's that simple.

and with that said somewhat It's transition obviously But the 80s DJ Wedding DJ The wedding DJ of now Is what a wedding singer was at this time Okay Wait is it like 80 you mean an 80s

Like theme DJ Actually You're taking all that back Me as a wedding DJ Yeah I am what a wedding singer Would be in the 80s Most DJs Because you're very performative

I'm out there I'm theatrical MCing everything I'm emceeing if I need to and I don't want to take a step back, but I'm more of like the emcee in charge of the dancing and keeping everybody going. Most DJs actually are scared to be in the mic.

They're a bunch of little nays, you know. They don't get out there. They don't dance. They're like, I focus on the music. That's my art. It's like, shut up, dude. So as I thought about it initially, I thought most DJ wedding DJs,

but no, very specific, interactive DJs and know how to do it are what these were. Now, the difference, you've got to worry about six other people. Yeah. Let your base person not show up. Mm-hmm. Or let George not. I show up.

Would we not show up? Like literally, no show the whole thing. I got sick. I'm sick today. Oh, yeah, yeah. I got sick last night.

I drank too much. And these are the kind of things that you as like a DJ as business. You're like very big. I like, yeah, like being on top of everything. And if not, I just need one other person to cover me,

which they won't do as good of a job, but at least I only have to find one. Yeah. You got to get another George. Got a guy. You're going to find a guy that can play who can play the trombone and like the clarinet within like a half a second from each other. Multi.

instrument player I think I've seen on screen. It goes from instrument to instrument to instrument and has one fantastic song that he sings. Yeah, but why did George not have a second song? He needed to learn at least a second song. When Robbie takes a break, you need to at least have three in your backpack. They can all be boy George songs. All of them. Yeah, yeah.

Okay, clearly you're into the boy George thing. That's your real house. Play comma chameleon. You know, that'll work. Oh, pick the dancing floor again. Yeah, yeah. No, but he sticks with give me time. To realize my crime.

Yeah. And then by the second time, you get the greatest... You suck! Possible cinema history is. I have another You Suck that I always loved. Oh, what's that from? Because this one is aggressive, and it's a good aggressive one. When they're like, hey, Robbie, you got to get in there.

They're starting to turn on George. And they're like... You got to get back in there. They're starting to turn on George. Do you want to... You suck. You suck! That's a good one.

There's a very understated low-key when I always loved when, uh, an American Pie, when they have the, the band that's playing at their prom. And they're like, all right, we're going to take a break. You are beautiful. And then they just like, it's silent for like two seconds. And then somebody's just like, you suck. No, it's good. And I always just remember hearing that as, you know, when I used to watch it all the time. And I always like, wait, where I was like, that's the best you suck I've ever heard.

But that one makes a strong case. A strong case, man. Let me just say this about George, though. because George is an important piece of this movie. We talked about like sort of the six men off the bench, arguably even like a bigger character than just like a six man because like George is there throughout. And it's an interesting, similar to the way Adam thinks that like old people doing stuff is funny.

It feels like the entire joke with George is just George gets up there and presence immediately is just like making everybody uncomfortable. And like in multiple scenes. And it's interesting because it's played by Alexis Arquette, who is a very early, well-known trans person, who was, like, famous from the Arquette family, brother David Arquette, sister Rosanna Arquette. So it was kind of very well-known in like the 80s,

into the 90s and stuff. And odd that Alexis Arquette would choose to do this movie where it seems like the whole joke is you show up and everybody is just like... You are funny the way you all. Ha ha ha. Weird. Like,

everybody's like weirded out. Now with that, play some funny parts. The repeat of the song. It does a good job of it. Oh, God. The run it back. The run it back.

Yeah, the running back. I only know. Do you really want to harm? The laugh at the, at the ceremony. Oh, God. I'll forever remember that.

That's a good, the crying immediately with like the mascara running down and everything. So play some funny parts. But you're right. The joke behind the two of them are ridiculous, where it's old people are funny because they're old. Yeah. Trans people are.

funny because they're trans. It's like, I don't know, man, this is not the best. Hasn't age the best, I would say, but credit to Alexis Arquette for giving it sucks. And I think the most redeeming part from my and me is like switching from like the clarinet to the trombone within like a second. I think that's a funny bit. Classic. But also as from a personality standpoint, maybe gets a little redemption when they're all trying on the wedding dresses and they're like, not sure. And then there and then here comes George's in the wedding dress. And everybody's like, oh, I like this one, which I don't understand that scene because why is everybody else trying on the wedding dresses and not Julia? Isn't Julia the only one that should be needing to fit to dressings,

right? Yeah, yeah. We should be seeing what they look like on her. She's the only one that never puts one on in that whole montage scene. Although that does remind me, one of the core elements of this movie is its incredible 80s soundtrack. And if you watch throughout it, one of the things they do throughout the entire movie is from scene to scene, they jump into. They jump into it. And to the next scene with a classic 80s banger that somehow like actually speaks to what this scene is. Like that montage

hits that Hall of Nodes song. The White Wedding as soon as after Robbie gets left at the altar, the Billy Idol song, like, that next one, when they're in the ice cream shop with him and Julia and they're like starting to like, you know, talk a little personal with each other. They have every

little thing she does is magic. Like literally or when he's driving the limo and he pulls up with Yeah, do it. You know something I love about us. What's there? What are you doing? Can you tell me?

Because I need a boost today. Some of those days I need a positive statement from you. Hit me. After nearly 200 episodes of doing this, we are on the same vibe. I was literally about to call out past the duchy to the left-hand side and you had it queued up ready to go. And yeah, that's when he pulls up the limo. One thing I love about that scene is what Sammy's wearing

because he's got this outfit that's exactly what my dad used to wear back then. It's kind of like somewhat, it's like a denim, like washed out jeans with like the belt that's kind of like, you know, it's like loose tied. And he had like it tucked in with a shirt that sort of as a print on it. It's the exact kind of clothes that by dad used to wear back then. And you told me when I pointed it out to you that you said your dad did the same. It was what all dads did. Yeah, yeah.

I mean, they weren't really, I guess he was a young dad at that point, you know, But, like, yeah, that was just the style. And it's my favorite outfit that Sammy wears start the movie because he's one of the characters. I'd say him and Holly are both used as the, we're going to show the extreme 80s fashion. And I have somewhere in my notes that I wrote down, I find it odd that Sammy puts on the thriller jacket twice in the movie. Does he do it twice? He shows up to the engagement party and that's when he's like, what do you think of this look? And he's like, I'll lose the glove.

you look nuts. All right, let me just pick up a chick and we'll get out of here. What do you think of the jacket? I don't know, man. I would lose that glove. You're looking nuts. He ends up him with a like, tell you brother Tito, I said hi.

And then he shows up again at the end of the, like later in the movie when they're in the bar and he's like dancing and he's like teaching the old guy to dance. Like before you continue, could we go back to the first time he wore it? Yeah. He's wearing the glove. He takes it off.

They walk into the party. And one of the most disrespectful things that if Castle did this to me or I did this to Castle, both of us are going to be like, we're going to have words later, dude. We might fight. This is like, you're asking. Such a disrespectful move.

I might, dude, I'm going to snap. He knows I'm going to turn to Puerto Rico on this shit. And then I already know I'm going to get shit from him. What was it? What was the scene? He's like, you know what? When this guy first met you, he said she's going to get it and she doesn't even know it.

Are you kidding me? Fuck. Something I told my boy? Something I told my boy just to joking and possibly not joking, being real, way, I'm trusting you with just some bullshit. You're going to speak it to the...

You're going to bring this up now. At her engagement party, no less. I'm getting like that next thing right now, dude. I'm getting... I'm getting it right now. I don't... You don't do that. I'm just glad you guys came.

I mean, we get to hang out at work so much, but we don't get to talk because we're always so busy. Well, we should make time to talk, don't you think? You know what? First time this guy saw you, he told me he was going to hit on you. Really? That's not true.

Yeah, it is. You told me she was in trouble. She was going to get it and she didn't even know it. He's teasing. I would never say that. Oh, what? You said you were going to give it to her? Give me what exactly?

Yeah. You're a jerk. What do you mean? You didn't know she was engaged? So now you're not going to give it to me? Very funny. Say hi to your brother Tito. You don't?

It does establish that he loves like fucking with Sammy all throughout and like, like, Like, in certain respects, it's, like, really funny. Like, the whole... The limo. Him doing the limo test, I think, could be in the running for the funniest scene in the movie. Humpcaps pop up. Just, like, yeah, pop. They're falling out.

I just love when he stops and he grabs the groom and the bride to, like, stuff him in. And she's just like, wow, look at him go. And then I'm legendary. He's the only limbo in the town. Like, he needs to try that hard. And then hits him with possibly the most legendary line in the movie. Of course I'm going to be. going to hire him not only is your best friend but he's the only limbo driver in town

yeah i just like having fun women look at him go better move it man you're not gonna make it you hit two cones those could have been people those other could have been guests at her wedding they were they were cones they were cones perfectly executed that's that's where this movie actually like just thrives It's ability to bounce back and forth between keeping you engaged with these two characters and their different love stories and how they're kind of actually might be intertwining, but then reminding you constantly to hit you with 80s moments and hit you with comedy. And I will say that there are sometimes where they actually just really try hard to shoehorn in. This movie does a lot of good, easygoing 80s references, especially with the music, like as we just mentioned.

The music, some of them will have more impactful moments than others. There are a few times in this movie where they really just shoehorn in 80s references that are just like, okay, you were just trying to hit me over the head with the, it's the 80s thing. So I made a list. Uh-oh. Yeah, a classic castle list for you. The top 10 needlessly shoved in 80s reference from the wedding singer. Number one.

The Frankie Says Relax shirt. The cook when she's working at the wedding. He's like, hey, all you need to do is relax. Hey, you know what you must do? Relax. Don't do it. The Frankie says relax shirt. It's a big deal in the 80s.

Everybody knew it from that music video. Number two, the kid with a Freddie Kruger mask, just running around with a Freddie Kruger mask for some reason. He's like, all right, that's not nice. Go back to the boiler room, Freddy. Oh, thanks, Freddy Kruger. That's not nice. creative though. Go back to the boiler room. Number three, all temper cheered laundry,

which I literally had to look up, but there's that needless moment when he's like sad in bed, and then Sammy lays down next to him, he's like, these sheets are soft, and he's just like, it's all temperate cheer, and it just says like whatever their slogan was and stuff. Hey, these sheets are soft. You use downy? No, all temperature. You can wash your clothes at any temperature, and the colors don't run together. Really? I literally had to look it up. I'm like, okay, that must have been, like, a popular, like, detergent in the 80s.

And it looks like it was actually more of, like, a brand in the 70s. And they had, like, a popular actress, I don't know, like, Farrah Fawcett or something. That was, like, their spokesman. But, yeah, so that was something that your parents would probably be like, I remember all temperature. Yeah, but I never heard of it. But just the way it was just thrown in there. Yeah.

All right. This one I just. just picked up on earlier when we were watching it. When Robbie goes to like babysit his sister's kids and then his sister's like, whatever her husband's name, you know, the guy with a ridiculous little fro. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He looks like that guy from the Simpsons. That was like one of the mobsters.

It's like, he has that mobster look for sure. Yeah, yeah. She's like, all right, move your ass. And he goes, hang on. I'm watching Dallas. I think something happened to JR. They shot him or something. Good night.

Because like there was like a famous episode of Dallas. where they're like who shot jr and it was back in the days when like an episode that with stakes like that could end up like having the highest ratings of the year because like everyone be watching network tv at the same time no crazy five okay the duncan donuts commercial they show i don't know i guess this was a popular commercial in the 80s where they're at one point they just show it and they're like oh don't you made the donut i made the donuts and then it actually gets brought up later when they're in the club again love david bowie he is so sexy You think the time to make the donuts guy is sexy

That guy is funny Miss that donuts one Miss the Dunk Donuts one Yeah you're sneaking these Yeah They snuck a bunch of these motherfuckers in there Number six Holly doing the Rubik's Cube

And just the beginning of the scene She's like got a Rubik's cube And she's like No one will ever sell these And she like throws it Because the Rubik's cubes We were everywhere in the 80s Which I remember as a kid

Like you would go to anybody's house And they did have a Rubik's cube For some reason What was that about? I don't know They did a good good a mass for job marketing. Maybe you could take off the stickers and just put them where they need to go.

I think that would actually be harder though. It's done. It's done. I won. Yeah. I remember one time doing all but like I couldn't cover like one block and then my cousin like took the color off that was out and then put it on and then put a sign on it that said done by Betsy. And she took her and I was like, whoa.

All you did was cheat at the end. I did the whole fucking thing. All right. See how it is. I want everybody to give you the ignitzy. acknowledgement, the credit. By Betsy. That's a hilarious story.

All right. Next one. Glenn coming in with a CD player being like, oh, no, it's a CD player. It plays CDs. Got it for 700 bucks. You know, he's all psyched about it because this was right around the turn. You want to play a record? No, Jules, it doesn't play records.

It plays CDs. It's a CD player. I actually grew up in a house with a record player. We didn't have a CD player and I was like eight or something. I don't know. Have you ever actually lived through the record stuff? But my dad had a CD player. It might have been good for you because then you could have learned how to like mix with records all the long.

Yeah, my dad didn't invest. So instead he spent. Okay. So he was getting the $700 CD player. Dad had all the new shit when I was growing up. And my dad's every weekend, I'd be like, what is this? He'd be like, oh, yeah, I bought this. I went crazy, dude.

Probably shouldn't have bought that. Whatever, dude. Next one. When Robbie shows up and he's like drunk and Linda's back and she's like sitting on this porch and he's all drunk. and he looks at her and he goes I love him Kiss my grace That's a reference to a show

That was popper in the 80s What was it? It was like a woman She had a wig She wasn't supposed to be a wig It was like a She was like a housekeeper or something Alice, Maud

I don't know These references got deep So he went deep with his 80s Even though it was only 13 years prior So it wasn't even that deep But it seemed like it was ancient Yeah yeah yeah You watched it

But Kiss My Grubes My Grubes Gritz was a popular catchphrase for 80s TV character. The name of the show escapes me, but it's because I never watched it. The last one, arguably the most egregious, I think it is. When he goes to the airport and he's chasing after Julia, the guy at the gate has the most absurd hairstyle that's like a fucking little flip and a thing because there is a group in the 80s called a flock of seagulls and they had this crazy hair. So you're then contending that like, oh, because there was this band that was popular that had crazy hair,

you just see somebody at the airport, no less, that just was just sitting there like with that hair. Like it was a normal thing and it wasn't completely ridiculous. They make a reference to. I know. And then they nail it. They drive it home so hard. They literally punch you in the mouth with it because the guy has to be like, Hey, do you like flock of seagles?

I can see you do. Wish me luck. Go get her. So it wasn't enough that they were like, would it be funny the guy has the flock of seagull's hair? He's going to say it too because he literally brings us up to everybody. So we make sure that everybody knows. Yeah, he brings us up to everybody that goes through the TSA, you know, which leads to the final set piece on a plane,

which I think is noteworthy because this movie was made in 1998. A couple years later, I don't think you would have been able to do that. Where, like, the final set piece of the movie, like, takes place on a plane where you're kind of, like, surprising. Like, kind of creating a stir on a plane, you know what I mean? Yeah, a plane of which had two stories. Yeah. And two different aisles.

fucking huge plane they got going on here. Do planes not have two aisles anymore? You're right. I haven't seen a two aisle plane since I think once in my entire flying history. No, I feel like I used to see him a lot

when I was kids. Definitely not the two stories. When you were going to cross country, Ohio probably Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, so those big ones. They were common back then. But no,

they haven't seen a two aisle plane in forever, dude. They had two aisle plane, two stories. How big was this fucking plane that they were on? And that's where he sings his classic song.

which Adam Sandler has a couple of classic songs that he sings in this thing. Absolutely. That lasted. Especially in my DJ and career, I used to have to play the one in the plane. I'm on to make you smile. That motherfucker I had to play at weddings. And then the joke one of,

hey, I was bullshit. Those two songs to this day still last, man. It's not even over with that. He also had the Love Stink song. That one I still hear like get played every now. Just the redone ones, though. The one that he did himself were those two.

No, Love Stinks was an original. That's a real song? Oh, that's a real song. Really? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I didn't know that. I always thought he just created this one up. And then, oh, he has another original one when he sings that song at the Bar Mitzpah

where it's called like, that's all or something. The song that he sings while like Julia's dancing with a hansy kid. I believe that's an original song too, maybe? No, that's another one. All right. Well, either way. Two solos. That's who I said.

And the other than that they're all. And then he also has spinning round. Yeah. All the good. A good renditions. This is absolutely peak of, like, Adam Sandler, like, be, like, rock star stage. Because as Adam Sandler came up through Us and L, he always had the guitar in hand, that was, like, a big part of his whole thing, was, like, I do music.

I do, like, singing along with it. Like, it's a big part of my whole brand. Oh, is this the other guy does it? Love sticks. Love sticks. Oh, okay. Up until this moment, I always thought that was Adam Sandler original. And I was thinking at the time, okay, so if he just.

started singing that song at this wedding because he's having a bad time because he just got left at the altar and stuff nobody knows what the fuck he's singing no everybody i would argue the fat guy uh that he goes to that he calls out he's just relentlessly attacking this guy he's this guy's just there a chill at a wedding and he's like goes out his way to be like and i'm pretty sure that guy right there he'll never find true love and the dude's just like what did i do but then agrees with it i know and then he's like we got to get to the cake cutting because i'm sure faddy over there is gonna have a heart attack it's like Dude, what the fuck?

What unsolicited zings over here? Like, what? He literally calls out the entire mutants at Table 9, which, to be fair, was a reference that I remember using throughout high school and stuff. Yeah. And they were straight to mutants. They decided they went hard on that table. They decided to make that table look.

Now that I know that it's a modern, an actual song that he just said, maybe I know now why he was able to call out what to say there. But he gives that mic to the guy and he's like, one thing's for shower Love stings Love stinks Yeah yeah Love stinks

Love stinks And he just went with it And then the guy's like yeah There's a bite He's like love stinks I was like if that guy doesn't hit that line That whole song falls apart So a lot hinged on him

Even though he was just talking shit on him And Sideburn's lady And the mutants at table nine It's okay The dad gave it to him About 20 seconds later Oh yeah I have a question about that Okay, so that guy clearly was not having Robbies on being sad and not really delivering it at this wedding thing.

You are the worst wedding singer in the world, buddy. Sir, one more outburst. I will strangle you with my microphone wire. You understand me? Is this a common thing that you'll see at wedding sometimes where like the guy who paid for it is like just on your case? Again, in extreme times. Ten, ten, ten. Not the same ten.

It would be trippy if it was the same exact ten. They wouldn't know. Different ten weddings. But yes, about ten different weddings. you'll get the guy goes, hey, go ahead and throw on a little, you know, Bob Seeger. Yeah. Bride doesn't really want any old music. I'm the one that, I'm the one that paid.

I finance this whole bitch. You're going to play some Bob Seeger, and it's going to be next. He'll throw on some old time, and I'm like, rock and roll. Doom, d'n, d'n, d'n, d'n, d'n, d'em. You've tecto it all, and I start dancing with him because, you know what? He's right. Now, I won't go too far with that, but. You're going to give Pops a little Bob Seeker, if that's what he's looking for.

If that's what he's looking for, you get it. Yeah. So yes, not often, but it does happen. You get the people that are like, I paid so my way. And in some case, if you're really not delivering it, you might get a haymaker to the jaw like Robbie does, you know? Yeah, you have to really go there. It's been a long time.

I've only had one time that I potentially almost had that. He did make an entire song called Love Stinks, and then as he walked by the bride and groom actually said, I hate you. So it might have had it coming. I think once the dad saw that, it was on. I think red bow tie actually had a case there, you know, and then ends up in the room.

a brawl. It's amazing that Adam had all those guys on his side that he just trashed and he said, we'll never find true love. And then they were immediately ready to go to bat for him. Like, you're right, we won't. Ah, he's like biting his leg and stuff. Who do you think had the best, like,

80s fashion that you saw? Who did you think, like, bring? Because they try, as we said, to like, some of them a little bit more outlandish, others, but, I mean. It's an easy one. I got to, I got runner up, but the runner up is far from the top. But the runner up would George okay yeah because George kills it with every one of his I really dug George's

outfit at the wedding with a headband I thought I love a good headband you know you know you know Steve loves that shit so yeah so George's number two but top dog is is is Ben Stiller's wife what's her name Christine Taylor Christine Taylor yeah I mean just rocking the 80s here throughout she looks so good in this movie she's she's on point she's exactly again casting exactly casting's great and you know who else was good cast as like a good 80s looked at also had the look that perfectly worked with the character was Linda. That was sort of... She was a perfect...

I will make an argument that I think that Linda hairstyle... It's coming back. No. That's coming in style again. No. It's very 80s, but I could definitely... Hey, there's a lot of styles that you'll be like, I don't know if that's a good... I could see Linda's hairstyle making a return.

Pinpoint this moment, you know? It's easy to say, no. It's two 80s. I don't think so. But yeah, Christine Taylor, aka Hawley, absolutely. Everyone ever fits. All of her fits are great. And I love the way that curly hair look.

I don't be honest, that's a hairstyle that I'd be ready to come back. If nothing else for how good she looks in it. I've had a thing for Christine Taylor going back to Hey Dude. Do you remember Hey, dude? Hey, dude. Yeah, yeah. She played Melanie on that show. I remember that.

I love her as an actress since, like, she was also in the Brady Bunch. She was in the Brady Bunch. She was in the Brady Bunch. She's, it's Dodgeball. I love her as an actress. actress, she's absolutely stunning. But as far as her 80s outfits, the way she approaches them in this movie, front to back kills it. Front to back.

I think this movie is exactly why Ben Stiller locked it up. He clocked it and was like, man, that Holly got to figure out where I can track that down. I helped her find some cling wrap once at Albertsons. Fun little story, like in high school, she asked me if I knew where the cling rap was. Fortunately, I was working there and I did know. But that'll get me to my hot take. Are you ready for my hot take? Yes.

All right, everybody settled down for this one. It might pinch a bit, but hear me out. Uh-oh. Robbie should have just gone with Holly. Oh, yeah. At that point, after that moment. Julia's throwing up. Julie is ready to go.

Throw up in her hair. And she's, by the way, like a couple days away from getting married to like that week. That week. That week. I get it. You started having feelings with this girl that you have a connection with and you're like working with her and stuff. She's made no indication to you that like she's, he's moving away from that. You know what I mean?

Like that's happening. And now we can look at how things happened at the end of the movie and it's like this is like a one in a million shot that this is how things working on. Including needing a getting on the right flight, going to Vegas and just finding her.

Like all the things that had to happen right for Robbie to work out the way he wanted to. At that moment, you got beautiful Holly literally being sweet to your concern. Feeding you fries. Eating you fries. To your mouth.

We'll say maybe It's game time Maybe coming out A little strong with some of that Don't we look like My ass Don't we look like a cute couple Yes we do

Yeah just go with you Just go to that point She literally Rolls out the red carpet for you She's being sweet to your Like insecurities Yes Being like look I know you're going through a lot

You're shy right now You know you don't want to like make If you come inside You're gonna get late You're gonna get late She literally just rolls it out for Fucking kidding me And what happens in the next season?

with Robbie on the next night anyways. He ends up getting hammered because he brings his own bottle in a bar which thankfully the bar was like, you're not allowed to do that. Somebody that used to work at a bar. You guys want to drink with me outside? They were like, yep. I was a bartender. I would have been like, dude, fuck you, dude. You're just taking my patrons on top of that.

I got out of here. He ends up back home and he's hammered. Linda's just standing right there and he's like, I don't want to be alone anymore. And it's like, all right, well last night, Holly was right there. 24 hours ago, Robbie. And not even being trashy about it, if I may add that.

Like, she wasn't like, she was like, she was like, she was being honest, being real. She was being honest. She was saying it to you in a sweet manner and everything. And like she was, like, if Robbie ends up with Holly, he ends up happy. She looks like somebody that would take care of her man. And she looks great in her 80s gear. Like, just go full Holly at that point. By the way, you were throwing in a spotlight on player.

I don't know how you call it. You always say something special. But could we give the kid a little spotlight? Oh, the kid that, like, with the Freddie Krueger mask? Frank Humas, and then he's just on real, and then throughout the day, I think he does like two or three lines, but the main line is like, hey, Linda, you a bitch, like forever a classic line. No, no, to me, it's the other kid that actually nails the line when he's like,

I heard you're going to go into a mental institution. And he's like, what? Who said that? And he's like, everybody's been saying that. He nails that line really well. Yeah, yeah, I'll give that. Is it true that you're in the middle of a nervous breakdown? No.

No, that's bad. Who said that? Everybody's been saying that. Everybody. You're eight years old. You only know your parents. What are you talking about? Those kid lights are funny. They're a good addition. Not too much. Just a little dabble of the kids. Yeah, let me go back to the actual, like, the main turning point in the movie. Because up until this point, everything just seems like, oh, yeah, Robbie's a happy wedding singer, and he's getting married, and he's psyched about that. And we meet Julia, and, like, she's engaged. She's a little unsure about how serious the guy.

I gave it to her feeling like she's doomed to walk the planet alone. the Incredible Hulk, which one of two great moments I love in that conversation, showing instant connection. And then the other is when he's like, and you give him forks. Everybody needs forks. I like how he says that. Good instant, like showing that these two have good connection. I like that scene.

When he gets no-showed on his wedding. First thing I will say about the wedding scene, the Journey Don't Stop Believing as like an orchestra set. Vitamin String Quartet. Really good. That's a good string. Yeah. Vitimist string quartet and renditions of songs.

comes across really well. Yeah. For ceremonies, especially. Journey? All you brides. Journey works well. Don't sleep on don't stop believing. That's a good, yeah.

Keep that one going. So then he gets no-showed. And my question of that is this is a bit that we see on TV and movies all the time. How many times do you think? think the whole like not showing up to wedding or runaway bride is actually like really happen in life i have had no one no you've seen it happen oh no it was just it's just that the bride canceled the wedding day of yeah yeah okay so i showed up with all my dj equipment at the queen mary ready and then as i was getting out to start unloading i got a call from because this is when

i worked for a company they were like hey the wedding's canceled i was like oh do i what do i do and he It was like, I don't know, bring the equipment back and go home. Do I still get paid? Yeah. Do you know? I was like, fantastic. Yeah, you still got paid, though, right? Full grade.

They had to pay everything, yeah. I guess it was all good for you. Do you know any background about, like, what actually happened? No, no idea. I was, yeah, this is my early years, too. Wow. No, this is my second year DJing or some of that, yeah. And that happened.

I remember just the greatest thing, I think we were having a party or something like because this is a fraternity days. And I was like, I think I blacked out that I'm not sure, dude, because I got paid for nothing. Yeah, I'm pretty sure. I was like, I'm buying everything. You were super stoked. You know me, dude. I would come back with like three handles just like, we're going there tonight.

Oh, yeah. And guess what? I got two more in the car that I didn't tell you guys about. That was crazy. Well, that's what I feel like. If the wedding was going to not happen, it would have been decided before everybody's there and like waiting, right? Like, I just don't think that you get to that point. Yeah, yeah.

We're like the next level. The bride just decides she's not going to walk down. Like, I just don't think that that actually happens. I can see, I can see it happening because the cold feed that happened. Like, oh, no, no, no. And they lose their kind of mind. I just feel like you come too far at that point. Yeah.

But I'm just saying I could see the anxiety attack possibly overcoming. Possibly if you've got that kind of person. Because you've seen some people be like, I can't handle it. Now they're just nerves are gone. I can see it. But yeah, the chance, how often? One in a thousand. Yeah.

One in the thousand weddings. Yeah. 99.9 chance it doesn't happen. I would say one in a thousand. Yeah. Which is not, which is crazy. It's still a lot if you really think about it. One in the thousand is actually quite a bit.

Yeah 10,000 weddings I especially feel like nowadays Where like every so much more stuff is like documented It would just be that much more like Absurd to like see happen Yeah because if you saw that shit Could you imagine if you saw that shit?

Oh it'd be like a super viral clip They'd be like Groome gets to 11 everybody like Everybody in the way It would immediately be like Oh my God Oh this is crazy And he'd just be there

You'd just be standing there like Yeah yeah Like Robbie was You know And just being like So it was a bad no It's okay, man Everything's gonna be all right

I don't think it happens That's crazy Now the bride coming back in a week And be like, are you still mad about the whole wedding thing Bitch? I know what happened That word I know what happened there

Linda then went on like a couple dates Had some bad experiences with a few guys Maybe tried to hook up with a guy Didn't go down well And then she was like You know what maybe it wasn't as bad With Robbie as I thought

I'm actually gonna I'll check back in with that and she thinks he could just like walk back in and take him back yeah one guy had a boil on his ball and she was like whoa you know what a single yeah just a single huge boil just yeah and she was like I can't do this Robbie never had a boil yeah yeah what am I talking about right now I don't know I get that's for Bart Lawrence boil anyways classic uh but speaking of you know what a boil is no look it up everyone was it I don't know I can guess but speaking of like last minute wedding plans.

I think arguably the most egregious thing that happens in this movie. Julia, she goes over to try to profess her love to Robbie. Yes. Now Linda's there answers the door and she's like shocked. And he's like, oh my God, he got back with Linda and everything.

And she just, you know, she says the word that you thought was hilarious or a great word. Justin likes his good words. He's indisposed. Use a thesaurus word and I'll look up to you. Yeah, I like good words too Indispose, no matter

She's indispose She's in a shower And he's like Okay, well you tell him I come by She ends up like leaving She's so mad that now she thinks Robbie's back with Linda That she's ready to throw off

The whole wedding plans That she's been setting up And doing all this planning Tomorrow To go to Vegas now And it's like All right This is like

Not a time period either Where you can just send a mass text out And be like Hey everybody guys well You got people showing up. People are coming from out of town. You have vendors involved. You have dinners and all these things that go into a wedding.

And you're just going to be like, no, I got mad because I was going to try to go see another guy. Not my fiance, by the way. And he's with his ex, which he has honestly every right to be. You're getting married tomorrow. Like, what is he supposed to say single for you when you're getting married tomorrow? Your Aunt Carl and Auntie Linda just checked into their Airbnb like yesterday and have been in join their festivities and they're planning me at your wedding and have $1,000 ready to pay for you. But no, you're going to Vegas.

No, we're going to Vegas. The romance capital. The $30,000 to $100,000 that we just spent on the wedding. We're going to spend another $10 to $20 just going. Come on, man. At the romance capital of the world. Romance capital of the world. Which is a great, the fact that Glenn refers to Vegas is that immediately lets you know who Glenn is.

And he would hammer that point home all through the movie to the point where he's literally bragging a Robbie about like, you know, how he's gotten. hotter and younger, tried 10 days ago. As he says that, it reminds me when he's like, oh, man. Like, what he says that reminds me of anytime I say something that you think might be controversial, I guess. It's the exact response again from you. How do you do it, man? I mean, how do you do it without getting caught? Julius solely preoccupied with the wedding.

She doesn't know what's going on. Oh, man. There it is. Oh, man. Yeah, that's it. Yeah, that's my uncomfortable. And then you look down and then your other movies, you look down and you start like fiddling with your board. Yeah, yeah.

Start doing that. See, another thing that I've become very familiar with. Five years of this, man. Six years of this. Exactly. So, yeah, she's going to go ahead and throw off her entire wedding plan just because she's that mad and is going to be like, no, let's go get married at like a chapel and everything. Which Glenn was like more than down to do. He was like, cool, we could go party and things.

He was all just waking up like, uh, yeah. You notice when he was. When she first woke him up, he kind of looks around because, like, the last time we saw him, he was, like, partying with, like, a group of girls. And that guy, the guy from earlier, which, by the way, I just saw my notes, I forgot to say. I said, the drunk guy with Glenn at the engagement party steps in for one minute and knocks down three threes. Just fucking anything else. The way he actually, like, drops his couple of lines.

He's there. And I would say for that scene, this is the very time where Adam doesn't play the character. that could just beat everybody's ass where he just steps in cool every other movie adam salleler can just step in and like beat anybody yeah yeah yeah they just like knock him out like no robin's not a fighter he's a lover he's a lover not a fighter and he gets knocked out and of all the duchery things that glenn does in this movie i would definitely state that the most duchiest thing he does is this little dance and he's like i got punched in the nose for sticking my nose in other people's business ah is this fucking move dude that that that's the fucking

one. That's when he actually set the record for arguably biggest douche in movie history and stuff. Well, like you said, that guy well-casted because he's just creepy enough. He definitely let you know about his creepy ways. Just good looking enough that you know he does probably pull that up. But you could see him as like your friend that's like engaged to this guy and you're like, I kind of see why he's like crushing it in the stock market. Bond market.

The high-yield bond. Junk bonds. Yeah, he's got the high-y-ield bond game on lock and stuff. You know, he's especially in the 80s, and maybe you think that Don Johnson style is, you know, it's dashing. So you could see that. But I will say, though, as a final set piece to do it in a plane like that, and the way that scene gets put together just after Rosie Roon's Rappers Delight for five years, for five years, rappers delight was ruined because of this movie. Where every time they would play it, people would think it'd be funny. DJs would be like, oh, it would be funny.

play Rosie's version of it and it'll be it's an old lady dick again goes back to that whole old people doing stuff is fun but rappers delight is a legendary song and it was ruined because everybody always wanted to play a rosy's version of it i said hip hop a hip hip hip hip hop you don't stop the rock to the band bang boogie say up jump the boogies to the rhythm of the boogies and pique after that we end up with this final set piece on a plane where like I said a few years later you wouldn't have been able to do this because people were very sensitive to stuff happening on planes. Like, unpredictable stuff on planes. Oh, yeah.

The very fact that he ends up, like, at the gate with Holly and Sammy is like, why would you impossible? Why would either, why would both of you join him at the gate? There would have been at least four different securities checks that you would have to go through. That's a drop off. We're not going all the way to the gate and, like, not sure what the ticket he's getting is. So then Robbie ends up in first class. That first class view is crazy.

Like the colors of it, there's the fact that there's like a double-decker staircase behind it. Tell you. Billy Idol's just pounding some champagne, you know? And then shows another thing that I just don't think would happen in real life or in movies from that point is like where the whole plane is like in a group conversation. No shot. There's ever like a group conversation on a plane. The only time that happens if one person is causing a ruckus and everybody's against him. Exactly.

And then he brings out that song. Maybe he sings out. Classic. That is actually as far as like well like organized songs go like a self-produced song. for a movie. That's about as good as you get. And I think I would argue this is peak rock star Adam Sandler. Because like I said earlier, he started his career as the guy with the guitar in his hand on SNL. He used to put out those CDs that were like half sketches and like half original songs. And the fact that he was able to throughout this entire movie do great original works and then

reimagined like songs like Spin Me Round. And then he even has that bar mitzvah song, which I got to imagine was fun for him to do because, you know, Adam Sandler, famously Jewish, probably went to a lot of bar mitzvahs as a kid, so like him kind of doing that song performative the way Adam Seller does. And kind of crushes the way they do the final moment. Billy Idol ends up just having a fan that's right there at the perfect moment to like put Glenn into the bathroom, which brings me to this. we end the movie

what the fuck happened to Glenn how did that play out so he ends up just locked did they keep him locked in there the rest of the plane and that brings me my next question this wedding that was canceled so nobody else could go to

did they just slot Robbie in and then just like everything else went the same because the next scene they're just getting married tomorrow over the questions basically got ready maybe Robbie just tag in all right I'm taking Glenn's spot

dude that'd be wild for like the Glenn's family Oh, Glenn's fair. They're just walking like... I thought, hasn't Glenn been dating this girl for like five years? Like, where does this guy come from? The wedding singer dude is just... Yeah, she got on a plane.

Imagine being told that story secondhand. What happened to Glenn and Julia? When he got on a plane and then a wedding singer, like, assaulted him. You could like, you know, you could put any kind of spin on it. There's an altercation on the plane. And then when they landed, she decided she wanted to marry the wedding singer now. And that's it. And now he's just taking her place.

to the wedding and the drunk guy the beginning in the movie, by the way, is now the wedding singer. He had already been hired, though. She took him instead of Levitz. She said she was going to hire a DJ, though. Yeah. Can we go, I'm going to digseck the, I want to grow up with you real quick. I'm going to do it really quickly, so don't worry.

I want to make you smile whenever you're sad. Hard thing to do. Just want to let you know. From a relationship, you're trying to do a lot there. Bold strategy. Carry you around when your arthritis is bad. So, again, he's really focused on when they go old. So that's why the song's called, I want to grow old with you. Good.

I'll get you medicine when your tummy aches. That's sweet. Build you a fire when a furnace breaks. I've always had an issue with that phrase. That's the one you were waiting to get to. Yeah. Okay, so is he building a fire? Do they have a fireplace?

You're a bricklayer now? That'd be the only way is if they have a fireplace. Are you a brick layer? Are you going to like, yeah? There's a lot of mechanical ingenuity that goes into a fireplace. And that might be the reason is because I come from a place that doesn't have fireplaces.

So my brain goes, where the fuck is the fire going to go? But if he's building there a fire in the fireplace and the furnace breaks and they still have a fireplace, and it's really not an issue. So now that I think about it, not as a bit, I miss you, kiss you, give you a coat when you are cold. Good. Need you, feed you, even let you hold the remote control. I'm not giving them a fucking remote control. I was going to say this one sounds sweet when you're like getting engaged, but I think 20 years down the line,

if this was like a hard rule, you'd be like, Ford! Why did I? Gave up my remote privileges. Wait, wait, this is where I can do it. gave up my remote privileges 30 years ago and I've been living with this woman who has to watch

Price is right every day she always has to watch Dallas reruns we've seen the same episode We've seen it We know who shot J.R. Honey, we've seen this episode Babe. Get Smart is on. World Cup is on 8 o'clock.

I'm not watching murder she wrote right now No, give me the remote No, you gave it to me already Yeah, anyways. We're not watching Maud again. I've seen every kiss my grits. I wish I knew what that show was.

Look up kiss my grits. So let me do do dishes in our kitchen sink. As long as I don't have to always do them, put you in the bed when you have too much to drink. All I want to do is grow old with you. I want to grow old with you. Sweet charming song. You take care of them.

A good partner always threw me off again. I think it's just because I didn't grow up with a fireplace. Anyways. This movie is forever one of the top movies that I can throw on at any point and enjoy. because of the 80s, Phil, because of the Adam, because of the little jokes here, the subtle jokes throughout the movie, each scene you can almost give it a second,

be like, oh, that was funny, and then continue on. It made me turn into, without thinking about it, a wedding DJ. Did it inspire you a little bit? Without thinking about it, yeah. Now, I'm not the center of tension

singing in a new thing, but I am theatric, I could, and if I was to, if I grew up in the 80s and I was going to be a DJ, I could have been a wedding singer. I think I actually would have killed that position. All right, well, here's a question.

Bring them back. Here's a question that came up throughout this. Do you think wedding singers look favorably upon this movie? Because while it's called the wedding singer and it stars Adam Sandler's one and he's like showing how much fun it could be, they also take a lot of shots at them throughout. She's like, oh, what? While you sing weddings at 60 bucks a pop?

And then he says that line where he's like, I sing karaoke while they serve prime rib. I'm a fucking joke. You know, they have a few shots that they give at like wedding singers. So I wonder if you did this as your professional, Would you come out of this movie being like, you know, I'd fuck that movie a little bit out, actually. I mean, it's kind of like taking digs in my profession.

It's honestly the same thing I say about me as DJing. So how did you look at it? How did you come out of it? I get to have five days off and not have a boss and just perform and enjoy people's and help people enjoy their one day that they have come together. Hey. So with that. Checkmate, bitch.

You know, like you like how I can performing. He's sweating, get his party going and getting paid to live. Like you kidding me? Justin, check it out. We can bring it all the way up here. Hey, checkmate, bitch. Yours is a little bit farther. This is fun.

Checkmate. You could actually bring the microphone with. I'm less of a sleep. I'm not checking me and everybody with that. There's certain motherfuckers that handle business. Wake up in the morning. I'm not putting in their motherfuck of time. Are the life of the party.

I'd rather be broke. Life of the party. And they get to, like, make somebody's, like, best day of their life even better, which is something you get to do all the time. Yes. And I agree with that. And I'm good at what I do.

And I've had a lot of, people are putting in their trust. I could blow your wedding day. If you decide, I'm gonna be like... Describe Blow Your Wedding. Oh, yeah. They're like, I want Dr. Dre, I want Snoop. Give me some hip hop.

I go, oh, sounds good. And then you play the Rosie singing rappers delight and think that's hip hop. Boom. Throw on some Rosie. Throw on some fucking... If you did that at my wedding, I would punch you in the dick.

Or I decided to be like, oh, you want to hear what that song was actually sampled from? Let's throw on some Elvis. And I'm like, no, you hear the beat. That's the hip-hop beat. What are you talking about, dude? I can fuck it.

I can play music and fuck I can mess up. I can turn off the music. You're mid-party. No music. What are you going to do? Do you know how to work my shit? No. I could fuck your wedding up.

And the fact that everybody trusts me with their wedding really puts a lot on me to know that, okay, they're trusting me, so let's bring the party. So there's perks to every job. And I like mine because, like you just said.

Modern Day wedding singer. I'm the one day wedding singer, give it up to me. All right. And with that, are we doing slaps and snaps for this? Is this a movie? Do we do that with movies?

We have never really done substance talent for movies. But here's what we do. Here's what we do. I do like to do a segment that I call. Let's clean off the note sheet. Let off the note sheet. And that is where I like to just go ahead and do one final look at the notes I took during

the movie. And anything that I missed on, I'm just going to throw in there right now as a final note. All right. Seriously, someone gets some pants on that kid. I already discussed that. I feel it was worth bringing up again. Don't dance with your babies like just no pants on. just think everybody's going to be comfortable with it.

It's not comfortable for the rest of us. All right. 90s, waitress, sexual harassment is slam dunked home within one minute of introducing Julia. Throughout this movie. We always, I could have calmed that down.

We touched on that, yeah, but like that's part of the movie and I get it. They get the cook. Why is he so nice to you? And she's like, I showed him my boobs at the Christmas party. Not my finest half hour.

30 minutes of showing the, like what the, what an awkward, 29 minutes and 30 seconds. Holly, I want to respect you. As much as they try to make me lose respect for you, Holly's still my,

favorite. I want to see actual footage like back in a day wedding singers. I would love to see some actual footage like some VHS. That's the thing is like, YouTube shots. In order to actually have those cameras back then like and I'm sure if you have been footage I got to look it up. I'm sure a few people have like uploaded to like YouTube but I probably have looked through like my parents like VHS collection. There's probably some wedding footage. My dad used to be one of the guys that would come around with a camcorder when I was a kid. So if they look like any much of a fun party is the one that you know what I think? Some of that, uh, 80s like wedding fashion went to for a bit it went to like prom fashion because like in the opening scenes you see a lot of like the guys with like the colorful bow ties and like a cummer bum I feel like then throughout like the 90s and maybe even a little bit into the 2000s when we were in school you'd see some like prom attire that sort of I at least remember when you'd go to like men's warehouse or something they'd have the mannequins set up for like prom they'd see the one that would be like a teal cummer bun with matching bow tie and that's the uh You saw a lot of that in the early scenes of this movie.

There's no footage. Everything is just the wedding singer. Yeah. I mean, it probably killed the algorithm for actually 80s weddings. There's nothing. You have to go back like probably thousands of pages just to find. The drummer in Robbie's band, just a steady hand at keeping it beat, never moves his head, never has an expression throughout the whole movie.

We're always focused on George back there with all his different instruments and his wild outfits. There's just this old guy. on drums. I don't think his head ever moves, but he keeps beat. He does everything he needs to do, which as a wedding singer, kind of exactly what you want from your drummer, am I wrong? That's what you need, man. Yeah, he's crushed that. It's all he needs. It's a steady beat. Zero charisma, but he lets Robbie have all the charisma. Cars could use more suicide doors. Why is that the thing we stopped in the 80s? That's such a cool look. It's actually easier to enter and exit, right? When the cars go like, wow. He has like a DeLorean with like the Miami Vice theme plane. I don't know why

they don't design more doors with suicide door. I would love to actually get it in and out of a car with suicide doors. That's just me. That's just a me opinion. I should have renamed them, though. I think that's the problem. How did Robbie even get a sit-down interview at a bank with zero experience? Where jobs just that easy back then?

You just like walk in and he's like, I don't have any experience. I like money. I have a little bit. Keep it in a jar. I like more. That's where you come in. And then Kevin Nealan playing the rare character in an Adam Seller movie that has zero funny lines. He's just...

He's good at that. Yeah, well, he usually comes in and, like, has a quick hitter joke, but in this one, he's just the straight man who's like... Yeah, just get out. Get out. Oh, and Julia telling Robbie he's selfish for wanting a job and not being just a yuppie idiot who wants material things. Kind of not reading the room about what's going on with y'all two right now. You know exactly how Robbie's probably feeling, how he looks at their relationship with Glenn, and you're going to tell him he's selfish because he wants a better job for a better life for himself.

Read the room, Julia. Read the room. A bit of a, kind of a dickhead move. Had Julia really not considered that her name would be Julia Gulia until, like, the day before her wedding? I think so. Like, why was this just a realization for her when she's, like, looking in the mirror? Like, I've been dating this guy for, like, five, six years. You've been waiting for him to plan a wedding day.

You never considered that it's going to be Julia, Gulia. Come on. And it's making you cry this time? I got bullshit on that. Oh, best needle drop of the movie is definitely nucleus. Jam on it. Like, play nucleus jam on it right now. All right.

I shit my snacks
