haven’t seen it yet but I’m shocked that it’s supposedly good. anyone seen it and can confirm?
I’m pretty hesitant to watch anything by a wealthy aging comedian at this point, but it would seem he’s at least avoided going down the anti-woke path or doing political comedy at all, although he’s friends with Rob Schneider and had terrible politics in the 00s…
Sandler has not publicly discussed his political leanings. It has been reported that he is registered to vote as a Republican. He performed at the 2004 Republican National Convention, and he contributed $2,100 to Rudy Giuliani’s 2008 presidential campaign (the maximum amount allowed at the time).
If you want a laugh, watch Rob Schneider’s ‘Real Rob’… It’s seriously ‘The Room’ tier. Jaw droppingly bad and cringeworthy. He tries to do semi self aware Seinfeld/Curb Your Enthusiasm comedy, but mainly just comes off as a r*pey hack.
Anyway… That’s so weird that he donated to Giuliani in 2008. Really quite gross. His new standup is probably shit but looks alright next to most modern standup.
He also performed at Guantanamo Bay, it wasn’t even part of the torture
