Warning: This episode is loaded with Happy Gilmore 2 spoilers.
After 29 years, Adam Sandler has returned to one of his most beloved characters, Happy Gilmore. The 1996 original brings all sorts of nostalgic vibes for Millennials who grew up with the movie, but what about the sequel?
Full Noise host Logan Swinkels is joined by Shooter McGavin's No. 1 fan, Sam Hewat, to discuss what might be their lasting impressions of the film, the best and worst of the cameos, and much more, including the big question: what classic sports movies should never be touched again for a modern day sequel, spinoff or remake?

The disastrous launch week of Rugby League 26 and why the game needs to succeed
It's been mocked far and wide by Australian media and gamers alike for being an embarrassment to the NRL, as Rugby League 26 endured one of the toughest launch weeks for a sports video game in recent years.
Not since AFL 23 has the criticism been this vocal, but Melbourne-based developers Big Ant Studios to their credit have kept the lines of communication open while they endeavour to fix the game through patches.
But in its current state, is Rugby League 26 fun to play?
Sport Nation's Logan Swinkels is joined by Brad Lewis to discuss their good and bad experiences with the game, how Big Ant has shown improvement in the past, and why a game that won't have the big budget to match Madden, EA FC, or NBA 2K is doomed to be compared to those juggernauts.
Take a look at the sports in our lives with a different lens. This is Full Noise, by Sport Nation.
Host Logan Swinkels explores the world of sports culture and entertainment with a rotating cast of Sport Nation crew and other special guests.
From video games, to documentaries, fantasy sports and more - if it's sport-adjacent, the Full Noise podcast is talking about it.
