Thumb War

Is Happy Gilmore 2 just a shameless sequel or a heartfelt tribute to a comedy classic? The Thumb War crew dives into the Netflix hit with hot takes on Adam Sandler’s evolution, Shooter McGavin’s epic arc, and all those ridiculous celebrity cameos (looking at you, Travis Kelce). We also unpack the real story behind Ozzy Osbourne’s bat-biting legacy, discuss Caddyshack vs. Gilmore, and chat about upcoming releases like Five Nights at Freddy’s 2, Doomsday, and Coyote vs. Acme in Trailer Trash. Did we laugh? Did we cringe? Did we get misty-eyed at the Sandman’s surprisingly tender moments? Yes, yes, and weirdly… yes. Email us: ThumbWarPod@gmail.com Join the Patreon: Hangouts are BACK!

We kick off with a haunted waitress and end up baptizing strangers in lakes — which honestly says a lot about this episode. Jason may or may not have been covertly baptized by a rogue Catholic. Rachel wears a wet t-shirt (kind of). Plus: Emmy nomination chatter, ghost gossip, and a passionate defense of Slow Horses. This one’s got spirits — both supernatural and awards-season related. ⭐️ Subscribe to our Patreon to hear the FULL EPISODE: http://bit.ly/44Mo8xU

On this week’s Thumb War, we revisit the world of horny, doomed teens and ask the question: what if they were even dumber… and older? Yes, it’s the legacy sequel to I Know What You Did Last Summer, and it’s back with the original cast, zero shame, and a whole lot of questionable decisions. We dive into why this movie exists, how it compares to Scream and Top Gun: Maverick, and whether legacy sequels are just nostalgia traps covered in blood (and denim). Also: Wicked looks incredible — even if the press tour made us want to eat glass The Smashing Machine might break your heart and Dwayne Johnson Shaq is owed an 18-foot Superman crystal Christopher Nolan has fans buying IMAX tickets for movies that don’t even exist yet ...and yes, we’re still mad about the soup-slurping Aronofsky trailer.
