Having watched Pixels more times than we can count, Jayden brings observations that surprised even us.

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 ps...

Send us a Text Message we would love to hear what you thought of the show. 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 e...

Send us a Text Message we would love to hear what you thought of the show. 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.

Send us a Text Message we would love to hear what you thought of the show. 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 ...

Send us a Text Message we would love to hear what you thought of the show. 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, t...

Send us a Text Message we would love to hear what you thought of the show. 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. That’s where the conversation opens up into real life—doomscrolling, autopilot living, burnout, and how easy it is to miss your actual life while trying to get through it. We talk about work, distraction, emotional avoidance, and what it look...

Send us a Text Message we would love to hear what you thought of the show. 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 Sa...

Send us a Text Message we would love to hear what you thought of the show. “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 h...

Send us a Text Message we would love to hear what you thought of the show.

Send us a Text Message we would love to hear what you thought of the show. In this episode of Wicked Psychotherapists, Erin and Tanya dive into That's My Boy, one of Adam Sandler’s most controversial and over-the-top comedies. On the surface, the film leans hard into intentionally stupid humor, shock value, and deeply inappropriate jokes. But underneath the chaos is a surprisingly clear portrait of unresolved childhood trauma, emotional immaturity, and the long-term impact of neglectful paren...

Send us a Text Message we would love to hear what you thought of the show. In this episode, we revisit Billy Madison through a psychological lens, exploring what happens when emotional growth lags far behind chronological age. While Billy is technically repeating grades, he’s also emotionally regressing—relying on privilege, humor, and avoidance instead of accountability and skill-building. We break down arrested development, entitlement, impulsivity, and identity confusion, asking whet...
