đď¸ 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!
