At long, long last, Happy Gilmore 2 is here. The much-anticipated sequel to the 1996 comedy smash landed on Netflix this morning, with Adam Sandler reprising the titular role.
Michael, James and Lewis got the popcorn out and sat down to watch it the minute it dropped before recording this pod with their unvarnished, unfiltered, kneejerk reactions.
How well did it blend in all the cameos? Was it as good as the original? And did they steal the idea from Michael?!
Have a listen and decide for yourself...

With the dust settling on Scottie Scheffler’s emphatic win at Royal Portrush, Michael, James and Lewis reflect on an epic week in Northern Ireland.
What is the new ‘Champion Golfer of the Year’s’ major ceiling? Could he challenge Tiger’s haul? Maybe even Jack’s? Or is that mental?
Also, what about Rory? How many more chances will he have to win the Claret Jug on home soil? Is the Dunluce Links now permanently on the Open rota? And is Chris Gotterup a US Ryder Cup team lock?
The guys debate all of this – plus cows, ghosts and Gary Player – on a particularly feisty, sleep-deprived ep of The bunkered Podcast.

Everybody stay calm but The 153rd Open is upon us - and what a week it’s shaping up to be!
On this bumper episode of The bunkered Podcast, Michael, James and Lewis set the scene for a potentially epic week at Royal Portrush.
From where, specifically, on the course the Claret Jug might be won and lost, to Rory’s prospects of book-ending men’s major season with another emotional ‘W’, the guys cover all bases.
There’s dark horses you should watch out for, thoughts on how the week might go for the R&A’s new chief exec, potential changes that should be made to improve the event, insight into why British golfers have gone 26 (twenty-six!) years without winning the championship, and even a quiz for good measure.
It’s the most in-depth and informed Open preview pod you could hope for.
