🎙️ Originally released in January, we're bringing this fan-favorite episode back at the perfect time! With Adam Sandler making headlines again, we thought it was the perfect opportunity to revisit one of his most beloved films: The Wedding Singer (1998).

Is Robbie Hart simply a goofy wedding singer, or is he actually one of Adam Sandler's most emotionally intelligent and lovable characters?

In this episode, licensed psychotherapists Erin Gray and Tanya revisit The Wedding Singer through a psychology lens, exploring emotional regulation, attachment, grief, self-worth, healthy relationships, and why this classic '90s comedy continues to resonate nearly three decades later.

We also discuss:

• Adam Sandler's evolution as an actor
• Robbie Hart's emotional sensitivity and resilience
• Julia's struggles with self-esteem and unhealthy relationships
• The psychology behind finding purpose and meaningful work
• Why kindness is often mistaken for weakness
• The unforgettable supporting cast, including Steve Buscemi, Billy Idol, and Drew Barrymore
• Our fun "food barter" challenge question at the end!

Whether you're an Adam Sandler fan, love psychological movie analysis, or simply enjoy revisiting classic '90s films, this episode blends humor, nostalgia, and meaningful conversation.

This week on Wicked Psychotherapists, we're diving into Adam Sandler's Spaceman and exploring the hidden psychology behind one of his most thought-provoking performances.

At first, we weren't quite sure what to expect from this quiet sci-fi film, but it quickly became a fascinating look at loneliness, emotional isolation, unresolved trauma, grief, attachment, and the importance of human connection. We discuss Jakob's emotional journey, Hanush's surprising role as an unlikely therapist, and how the movie reflects struggles we often see with clients in real life.

We also talk about the symbolism throughout the film, why relationships can suffer when we disconnect from ourselves, and why healing often begins by allowing someone else to truly see us. Along the way, we admit the parts that completely confused us, laugh about Adam Sandler's signature basketball shorts, wonder where Steve Buscemi was hiding, and finish with one of our signature fun questions.

Have you seen Spaceman? We'd love to hear your interpretation of the movie and what you think we may have missed!

This week, Erin and Tanya discuss Netflix's You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah and find themselves unexpectedly transported back to the awkward, confusing, and sometimes painful years of crushes, friendship drama, embarrassing moments, and trying desperately to fit in.

From Stacy's obsession with the "cool" soccer player to friendship betrayals, social status, and learning how to take accountability for your actions, the movie does a surprisingly good job capturing what it feels like to be 13. 

The conversation also explores people-pleasing, repairing friendships after trust is broken, social media's impact on today's kids, and why so many adults still carry middle school wounds decades later. 

Along the way, Erin and Tanya share stories from their own adolescent years, debate Bat Mitzvah themes, and wonder why every town seemed to have that one older guy hanging around teenage parties.

Whether you loved middle school, hated it, or blocked most of it from your memory, this episode is a funny and thoughtful look at growing up, making mistakes, and learning that being mature sometimes means admitting when you're wrong.

In this episode of Wicked Psychotherapists, we dive into the surprisingly layered Adam Sandler film The Cobbler — a movie that didn’t exactly win over critics, but absolutely won over us.

What starts as a quirky, magical-realism story about a cobbler who can literally become other people by wearing their shoes quickly turns into something deeper: identity, loneliness, generational patterns, grief, and what it means to finally step outside your own life long enough to really see someone else.

We talk about Max’s emotional isolation, family legacy, hidden trauma, and those subtle “wait… that’s actually profound” moments that sneak up on you in this film. Plus, yes—we get into pickles, Steve Buscemi appreciation, and why this movie hits way harder than its Rotten Tomatoes score would suggest.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in your own story or wondered what life looks like from the inside of someone else’s world… this one’s for you.

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.

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.

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.

“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.

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.

So we’ll leave you with this:
What songs have carried you through—and what would be the soundtrack to your life?

Our Adam Sandler movie journey continues, and this week we’re diving into the 2002 film Punch-Drunk Love starring Adam Sandler.

In this episode of Wicked Psychotherapists, we explore Barry Egan — a lonely, anxious, emotionally overwhelmed man trying to navigate a world that often feels confusing and hostile. While Sandler is best known for his loud comedy roles, this performance shows a much quieter, more vulnerable side of his acting.

Through a therapist’s lens, we unpack the complicated psychology behind Barry’s character and the family dynamics that seem to shape him.

In this conversation we talk about:

• How growing up with seven critical sisters may have shaped Barry’s identity
• Social anxiety, emotional overwhelm, and communication struggles
• What happens when someone never learns healthy ways to process anger
• Family systems and the impact of being labeled the “problem” in the family
• The strange but powerful connection between Barry and Lena
• Why this film marked such an unexpected turn in Adam Sandler’s career

We also get into the bizarre Healthy Choice pudding miles storyline, the uncomfortable family scenes, and the surreal tone that makes this movie feel so unique.

If you enjoy looking at movies through a psychological lens, this episode is a fascinating one.

And if you’ve been following along with our ongoing Adam Sandler exploration, this chapter of the journey might be one of the most interesting yet.
