Rosa is joined by The Soy Pill @thesoypill1583 and Eden is Online Peeden Riley @eden_isonline to talk about 'Happy Gilmore 2' (2025) and 'The Time That Remains' (2009)

Happy Gilmore 2, the 2025 Netflix sequel to Adam Sandler’s 1996 cult hit, reunites the beloved comedic golf underdog with original stars like Julie Bowen, Christopher McDonald, and Ben Stiller while introducing new faces including Bad Bunny and a host of modern golf pros. Directed by Kyle Newacheck and co-written by Sandler and Tim Herlihy, the film follows a now-widowed, down-and-out Happy Gilmore—a recovering alcoholic and former Tour Champion—who returns to the green to finance his daughter’s coveted ballet education in Paris. The story blends slapstick humor, nostalgic callbacks, celebrity cameos, and heartfelt themes of redemption and family, all wrapped in a nostalgic yet updated sports comedy format streaming on Netflix starting July 25, 2025.

The Time That Remains, a 2009 semi-biographical drama written and directed by Elia Suleiman, chronicles Palestinian life under Israeli occupation from the Nakba of 1948 through to the present via a stylized, episodic narrative rooted in Suleiman’s own family history. Drawing from his father’s resistance-fighter diaries and his mother’s letters to exiled relatives, the film unfolds across a series of deadpan vignettes marked by dry humor, minimalist dialogue, and elegant visual tableaux reminiscent of Jacques Tati and Buster Keaton. Suleiman inserts himself as a silent, observant presence—his restrained performance a pointed expression of emotional and cultural endurance—portraying daily realities that are both absurd and deeply affecting. Film festivals such as Cannes and Toronto featured the work, where it earned awards including the Jury Grand Prize at the Asia-Pacific Screen Awards. Key keywords include The Time That Remains, Elia Suleiman, semi-biographical drama, Palestinian experience, 1948 to present, deadpan visual vignettes, minimalist storytelling, and film festival recognition.
