Don Shanahan
The hosts of the Cinephile Hissy Fit podcast, sponsored and supported by the Ruminations Radio Network, are of the age to be the perfect target audience for the Netflix-backed legacy sequel Happy Gilmore 2. Both Will Johnson and Don Shanahan were eager teenagers who gladly joined Adam Sandler and company in 1995 for the crass original Happy Gilmore which perked up a boring sport into a saucy comedy. For those two, Happy Gilmore 2 should bring automatic nostalgia they’ll love. Think again.
For their 207th episode, two long-driving film critics, two short-putting dads, and two gold jacket-wearing teachers, Will Johnson and Don Shanahan have kept returning guest, Cati Glidewell of The Blonde in Front and Film Obsessive, to talk about one more summer entertainment target. They bit the nostalgia bug to experience Netflix’s Happy Gilmore 2, celebrating the return of comedy legend Adam Sandler to one of his most hallowed characters. The trouble was the 10 pounds of cameo-rich, checkbox-filling sugar that was stuffed in a 5-pound bag. Come learn more and stay for the mutual love and respect that fun movies encapsulate. Enjoy our podcast!
