Billy Madison (1995)

This week, Shat The Movies goes back to school—literally—as we revisit Adam Sandler’s breakout man-child classic, Billy Madison. Commissioned by Hot Sauce Steve, this 1995 comedy asks the eternal question: what if the heir to a hotel empire had to redo grades 1 through 12 because he’s too dumb to inherit a business?

Gene and Big D break down Sandler’s early “shouting gibberish at adults” era, debate whether Billy is secretly sweet or just deeply concerning, and marvel at how many jokes in this movie would definitely not get greenlit today. The guys revisit iconic bits like the dodgeball massacre, the penguin, the academic decathlon, and Steve Buscemi’s lipstick-fueled redemption arc.
