21st Film (2000): #009 - Little Nicky (with Matthew Crosby)

The first real flop of Adam Sandler's career as a leading man came with this ambitious attempt to move into the bigger-budget, special effects heavy high concept comedy world. At the time it was seen as a flop, but does over two decades of distance allow the strengths to come to the forefront? Lorcan has brought in comedian, writer, broadcaster Matthew Crosby (one third of the fantastic sketch troupe Pappy's) to help make that assessment from his perspective as a long-time Sandler fan who recalls being disappointed when he saw the film back in 2000.
