Season 3 of the smash hit FX/Hulu show “The Bear” roared to life just days ago, but Will Poulter (the actor who plays fan-favorite Luca) and 2014 F&W Best New Chef Dave Beran had been prepping for weeks. Poulter — like his co-star Jeremy Allen White — staged with Beran at his Santa Monica restaurant Pasjoli to learn how to accurately portray a professional chef onscreen. The lessons went so well, Beran says he’d hire Poulter as a cook — even despite a messy mishap with a pastry bag. The two dished all about getting kitchen culture right on and offscreen, what it takes to be at the top of your craft, and the pure magic of a great restaurant service.

We have another episode! I got tired of writing the synopsis schtick! In this one we talk about 1991's offbeat comedy "Shakes the Clown", directed by legendary stand-up comedian Bobcat Goldthwait. Chris tries to do a Bobcat Goldthwait impersonation! We talk about clowns! Next episode will probably be Happy Gilmore 2 folks. May God help us all.…
In this special episode, the Sandler Santas talk about Mixed Nuts, a classic Yuletide comedy from 1994. This Nora Ephron directed farce stars Steve Martin and a cast of some of 94's finest as they get a little bit silly with the holidays. And Adam Sandler is in it too. Let's take a moment to appreciate that we have now watched every major Adam Sandler starring movie as of the end 2024. Don't worry though, it looks like he's got a few more on the line-up for the coming year. And we could always do Shakes the Clown.…
Your Sandler space cadets blast off with another Sandler spectacle in Spaceman, a sci-fi tinged drama about a man in space heading out on an exploratory mission to find a cosmic cloud. And once again our own favorite comedic cosmonaut boldly traverses into places and genres he's never been to before. When we started this project, I had no idea I'd be watching so many quirky little Netflix melodramas. Never would have had this problem if we had just done Howie Mandel!…
Our animation experts analyze Leo, a 2023 Netflix animated film in which Adam Sandler plays an aging tuatara named Leo. As Leo reaches his twilight years he wonders, what did it all mean? What was the purpose of his existence? What kind of legacy will he leave behind? How does one find solace in this strange existence, in which we seem to drift aimlessly from moment to moment, desperately grasping for a meaning that seems to eternally elude us? And thus Leo sits in his tank with his friend Squirtle the turtle, eternally ignored, eternally alone, the wisdom of the years fading away with each passing of the day until he will finally drift into his eternal slumber. Also featuring Bill Burr and some kids!…
The Sandler schmucks are back, this time considering 2023s "You Are So Not Invited To My Bat Mitzfah." This family picture stars Adam Sandler's daughter Sunny as a young Jewish girl, somberly reflecting on faith and Jewish identity in a world that seems hellbent on challenging these things. Why, God, must you throw such pitfalls in our path, us, your humble flock? How can we hold onto our belief in you when you curse us so? Actually, I might be getting this movie mixed up with the Coen Brothers film "A Simple Man." I think one of them had a pretty good period joke in it. Conversation topics include the vulgarity of youth, getting older and NOT losing touch, goddammit, and just where did all these wacky religions come from anyway?…
Your favorite Sandler slackers have returned, with this much requested (by Chris) episode in which we air out "Airheads". In this 1994 comedy, Brendan Fraser, Steve Buscemi, and Adam Sandler play a band of heavy metalers determined to get their demo on the air. But is this movie a slam dunk of goofy rock n roll comedy, or more of an airball?! Discussion includes: the meaning of counter-culture! Justin doesn't really like Brendan Fraser (sorry folks)! And is it possible to make good art over 30 (not a chance)?! All this and much much more!…
The Sandler sleuths return to solve "Murder Mystery 2," a sequel to the hit Netflix feature from 2019. Here we ponder the important questions in life, including: Is it possible to make a good sequel? And is it possible to make a good Spider-man movie that isn't an origin story? (And yes, we also talk about the Terminator in this one). Brief spoilers between 10:15 and 10:35…
The Sandler Sports Fans talk 2022's "Hustle," basketball, and reminisce on their own somewhat fair weather sports fandoms. This Netflix distributed drama does not feature any funny voices, but it does have a lot of NBA players in it. Justin can't seem to stop summarizing the movie. So tell me: Do you love this podcast? Are you obsessed with it?…
Your Sandler Specters are back in this special Halloween episode of the Fourth Adam Sandler Podcast! In this episode the boys hash over "Hubie Halloween," a 2020 Netflix film that's chock full of tricks, treats, mysteries, barn parties, werewolves, escaped mental patients, and flatulence. But is this just a shameless nostalgia cash-in for those ol days of looking for Milky Way bars 'round the neighborhood, or a is this one a true graveyard smash?!…
The Sandler scholars return with the long awaited "Uncut Gems" episode! With another dramatic and off-kilter role from Sandler, this Safdie brothers directed flick was the talk of 2019. Critics lauded the tense mood and gritty New York vibe. But is this a jewel in Sandler's dramatic crown, or is the whole thing just another case of fool's gold? Interview with Keith Williams Richards…
Your Sandler Sleuths try to crack the case of 2019's "Murder Mystery," the second pairing of Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston. In this tribute to classic who-dun-its, Sandler plays a wannabe police detective who, along with Aniston, his mystery-loving wife, get wrapped up in a real caper straight out of Agatha Christie (but with our boy's beloved Happy Madison humor firmly intact). But will our amateur detectives get a clue before its curtains for them? And will Chris and Justin ever stop making jokes about severed hands? Spoilers for the "solution" start around 40:00.…
The spooky Sandleroonies return once more to the monster-filled world of Hotel Transylvania, a series they have so far been somewhat hot and cold on. But could this gag filled voyage to the depths of Atlantis finally be the one that wins them over? As a bonus we also go into an extended discussion of the rapidly expanding dominance of Disney over all of pop culture. Spoiler: we're not that into it!…
Your surgeons of Sandler take a scalpel to "The Week Of" a 2018 Netflix feature and long-time Sandler collaborator Robert Smigel's directorial debut! In this Happy Madison comedy, wedding bells are in the air as Adam Sandler and Chris Rock play the respective fathers of a happy couple getting married, but will Sandler's middle-class Billie Joel fan and Rock's high-powered surgeon ever learn to trust each other? Will this movie successfully balance the usual Madison shenanigans with a quieter look at the foibles of family? And will Chris and Justin ever stop hawking their stupid e-mail account (4ASPodcast@gmail.com)? Notes: My Record Journal article about Jim Barone (Uncle Seymour)…
Sorry for the delay folks! This month the Sandler scamps look at another of the critically acclaimed films of the Sandler filmography - 2017's The Meyerowitz Stories, a film by noted writer/director Noah Baumbach, and also featuring Ben Stiller and Dustin Hoffman. The (ahem) thoughtful discussion involves a deep dive into a joke about a dog, the two types of movies, and just what is the point of doing all this art shit anyway? Notes: The youtube video Chris mentions can be found at the link below. Apparently the music in the video is NOT the film score, so you can pretty much disregard anything Chris says about the soundtrack in the episode. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHp639vhUJg Also, alas, we're not gonna have time to make another one before Halloween, so I hope you all have a very spooooooky Sandler celebration!…
We're back after a bit of a hiatus for your, uh, summer episode of the Fourth Adam Sandler Podcast! This time we're talkin' "Sandy Wexler," Adam Sandler's third straight to Netflix picture, a star studded vehicle based loosely on Sandler's old talent manager. What's next, a cartoon about his caddy? A musical about his make-up artist? Just kidding folks, it's all good. Our rambling conversation includes new thoughts on Adam Sandler's appeal, Margaret Atwood's time capsule novel, and the literally dozens of cameos in the movie. Note: One of the best jokes in the movie is spoiled at 57:50 so if you're at all inclined to watch it, I advise you to skip to 1:05:38…
