Matt Cook and Buttsy kick off with a playful jab at LIV Golf in the context of a hypothetical Happy Gilmore 2. They dive into their initial impressions of the film, sharing audience reactions and comparing it to other golf classics. The duo debates over the best and worst player performances in the movie, then transition to discuss their Mount Rushmore of golf movies. They review Apple TV's "Stick" while offering critiques of Happy Gilmore 2, and share their impressions of golf legends. The episode touches on the Bernhard Langer controversy and L.A.B. Golf's $200 million acquisition. They wrap up with future episode plans, FedEx Cup anticipation, and a tease of upcoming guests.
Key Points: - Happy Gilmore 2 takes heavy shots at LIV Golf with audacious cameos from players like Bubba, Bryson, and Brooks Koepka. - Despite nostalgic callbacks, the film's over-the-top humor and excessive cameos make it feel more like a chaotic circus than a cohesive sequel. - Jack Nicklaus impresses with his sharpness and spryness, contrasting with the film's overall lackluster and cheesy execution.
