Chuck & Larry: Our Take

Send us a Text Message we would love to hear what you thought of the show. [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2200343/fan_mail/new] This week on Wicked Psychotherapists, we revisit the 2007 Adam Sandler and Kevin James comedy I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry and ask: did this movie age poorly? We’re not film critics — we’re therapists who love (and sometimes question) Adam Sandler movies and what they reveal about people, relationships, and culture. What felt like a light comedy in 2007 hits very differently today. We talk through the humor, the stereotypes, and the way the film portrays friendship, masculinity, grief, identity, and partnership through a modern psychological lens. We also dig into the emotional side of the story — grief, loyalty, long-term friendship bonds, and what happens when systems force people into impossible choices. Along the way, we explore first responder culture, relationship dynamics, and why certain parts of the movie still work emotionally even when others don’t. It’s a nostalgic rewatch, a psychology conversation, and a very real-time reaction to a movie that feels very much like its era. Connect with us!

From Pauly Shore to Click: Back in the Adam Sandler-verse

Send us a Text Message we would love to hear what you thought of the show. [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2200343/fan_mail/new] We kick things off with a very quick review of Pauly Shore Is Dead (yes, really), then dive into Click—and what it says about doomscrolling, burnout, and living life on autopilot. We talk about work, distraction, emotional avoidance, and what it looks like when life starts feeling like it’s on fast-forward without your permission. And as always, we wrap it up with a question that might make you think differently about your own “remote control” moments.

We Watched Adam Sandler’s Bulletproof (1996) So You Don’t Have To

Send us a Text Message we would love to hear what you thought of the show. [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2200343/fan_mail/new] Let’s just say… this one was definitely a very 90s experience. We’re breaking down the buddy-cop chaos with Damon Wayans, the over-the-top action scenes, visible stunt doubles, classic Adam Sandler humor, and all the cheesy moments that somehow still make it entertaining to talk about. From friendship and betrayal to ridiculous plot twists and full-on nostalgia, we give our honest take on whether this forgotten Adam Sandler movie is worth revisiting — or better left in the 90s. Do you remember Bulletproof? Is it a hidden gem, a cult classic, or just plain bad? Let us know your favorite 90s buddy-cop movie in the comments. 🎙 Follow Wicked Psychotherapists for movie reviews, psychology takes, and all things Adam Sandler.

Heathers Revisited: 37 Years Later & 6 Degrees of Adam Sandler

Send us a Text Message we would love to hear what you thought of the show. [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2200343/fan_mail/new] “Greetings and Salutations!” We’re doing a special re-release of our Heathers episode in honor of the 37th anniversary of the film’s release (March 31, 1989).  You might be wondering, “Is Adam Sandler in this movie?” He’s not—but Heathers is only six degrees from Adam since Winona Ryder starred in Mr. Deeds. We dive into the twisted relationship between Veronica and JD, explore the film’s dark humor, high school hierarchy, and deep psychological layers.  Plus, we discuss a fascinating fan theory about JD and debate whether Veronica’s ending is as triumphant as it seems. Join us for an 80s nostalgia trip full of wicked insights! Stay wicked and keep your mind well. This podcast is for educational and entertainment purposes only. Connect with us!

[https://www.buzzsprout.com/2200343/fan_mail/new] One of our most popular episodes is back—and it’s just as powerful as ever. Music isn’t just something we listen to—it’s something we feel. In this re-released episode, Erin and Tanya explore the deep connection between music and mental health, and how the songs we love can shape our emotions, memories, and healing. They share personal stories and real-life moments where music became a coping tool—helping process difficult feelings, shift moods, and create a sense of comfort during challenging times. From nostalgic throwbacks to discovering new music through Peloton rides and favorite TV shows, this conversation highlights how music evolves with us—and why certain songs hit so differently depending on where we are in life. Whether you lean on music for grounding, motivation, or emotional release, this episode invites you to get curious about your own patterns.
