Honestly, a horror movie that starts with the vhs scene on the boat titled "Good Morning, Lucy" about this woman with amnesia trying to escape kidnapper Adam Sandler every day while slowly uncovering more about her own life through talking with Adam Sandler and keeping a journal does sound like an infinitely better movie. I mean, the amnesia itself is a pretty solid horror twist to begin with.

Pov: Your last memory is you going to bed in your home, where you live with your dad and brother. You wake on a strange boat, see video tape next to your bed and you watch it. The tape tells you that 20 plus years have gone by and your family and friends are dead, despite that from your perspective they were alive yesterday. You also learn that you have husband and child. You walk up on deck where your supposed husband and child are quietly waiting for you. You stare out into an endless sea surrounding you on all sides, you have no where to escape. Your "husband" walks up and kisses you on the cheek and your child, who you don't recognize, hugs you.

[@priestesslucy]

Where's the abduction? Speaking as a woman who really enjoyed this movie (one of very few I've bothered to rewatch in my adult life...) I found it heartwarming. Even with her trauma, she was able to find love and build a life that actually moves forward, instead of repeating the past indefinitely. Can you imagine if nobody came into her life to break her out of the routine her family was running for her? Eventually she'd get old enough their lies wouldn't work anymore and things would get even uglier and she would wind up in some kind of mental health facility instead of out there living her own life. She has her struggles, but that sort of real world experience is the only thing I know of that has a chance of forging new neural pathways and eventually restoring her ability to store long term memories eventually.

[@anstupid4093]

[@dempsey6901]

This sounds vaguely like the relationships in Stardew Valley if we're being honest: people learning off a person's daily routine and schedule just to stalk them and gaslight them into a relationship where the person gives them whatever they want

[@joinsideke]

How are you gaslighting them??

[@RogueX1.0]

Do not judge how I got my marriage with Maru. It took a lot. And too much time in the mines.

[@thevioletbee5879]

One, there’s no gaslighting involved in Stardew. Two, you don’t have to memorize schedules. I never do.

[@soap3468]

Another note on the ending song, one of the recurring lyrics is also "why can't you see that you belong *to* me" which is incredibly possessive compared to alternations of it in other songs, such as "you belong *with* me".

[@KarubeePlanetRobobot]

The fact that Alpha is making more diverse content is great because when waiting for his next video, you don’t know if it’s about a game, a movie or something he does outside of that

[@ZpectreWasTaken]

I love how he filmed the whole thing on a boat just to fit the theme

Imagine waking up everyday having to be reminded that Adam Sandler is your husband

[@LittleKroh]

My dads fiancée has something similar, but not to this extreme. A couple times a year, she'll lose the last year or so of year memory. She journals every night (or most nights) just in case she has a "rewind" She did warn my dad about it after the first month or so of dating, but it's still scary for her, and it can be hard on my dad as well.

[@ComicalRealm]

This is the first of many movies where Sandler said "i just want to film on the beach in my Hawaiian shirt."

[@Tensolin01]

One thing that I always think of is that one day she had to have that baby. Imagine waking like it’s a normal day and suddenly you are full term and your only memory of that entire day is the fact you need to give birth out of nowhere to a baby if some guy you don’t remember at all… Absolutely horrifying.

[@astr4ll141]

She was likely under heavy anesthesia during the birth to prevent this

[@avantgardettos]

The competing moods of the menacing music and the sunny day on a boat are really sending me, great work Jacob, would definitely watch you shit on more Adam Sandler movies from scenic locations.

[@FactswithKat]

Did you know: This was teased a LONG time ago, by the fact that this exact topic was brought up on the podcast "How did we get here" :)

[@cacophony7941]

Do you know which episode? I spent a while about a month ago trying to find a specific one after someone told me I should listen to "the heroin episode." (It's the one that starts with scholastic book fairs)

[@sonybajor12]

Jacob's editing is so underrated holy shit that cut at the end contextualizing the film is incredible

[@lucasm.3864]

Alpharad is making whatever the hell he wants for this channel and I love it.

[@Mldy96]

Adam Sandler is at his best when doing drama movies, so I would honestly love to watch him act in a horror/suspense as the evil protag

[@PMcG1493]

So glad Alpharad has reached the point in his villain arc where he is targeting us, the viewers, by making us relive the horror that is Adam Sandler.

[@MrGamerCaptain]

I do appreciate how editing and music can make any film seem like a different genre.

[@radosbarner1734]

WHY IS EVERYTHING THIS MAN PUMPS OUT SO DARN WATCHABLE!!!! Like seriously, I was not expecting to watch Alpharad on a boat in what I can only assume is Marina Del Rey, talking about a movie starring Adam Sandler that I've never heard about, and be this... Entertained? Empty (What's the differnece), at the end of it....

[@Lamentationsofapoory]

I love the idea of Alpha being so distraught about this movie that he sacrificed his sweet time on a summer day on the water to talk about it.

[@poopachu7162]

Fun fact: I watched this movie in an honors psychology class. Gotta love the American education system!

I refuse to believe that this is an actual movie starring the real Adam Sandler with a plot so strange that it becomes a horror movie.

[@simonsoupshark8009]

the fact that its a adam sandler movie makes it more likley

[@Pageturner1]

This movie is just a movie that makes me ask myself "dear god, what am I looking at?" And Alpharad just saved me 2 hours of torture to watch, while on a boat.

[@MissMothPlaysGames]

I was in an Adam Sandler film (not this one) and worked with him briefly. He's an odd duck for sure but (seemed) relatively harmless. Granted, this was after this mentioned era of film (Happy Gilmore, 50 First Dates, Billy Madison etc.), so he kinda made whatever the hell he felt like so long as he was on set somewhere nice.

[@cragl3yman343]

Alpharad is turning into like a Super Eyepatch Wolf style of Variety and I'm ALL FOR IT. Bring more creative out there shit that I never knew I wanted.

[@pwojo9776]

I would love to see a series like this. Just Jacob in a random unexplained location frantically re-capping comedy movies with famous comedian-actors that either aged horribly or are in hindsight very much not a comedy.

[@MusicianNrd]

I like the fact that he used the soundtrack of A Hat in Time in this video after I’ve just finished streaming that game on Twitch and KZbin, which is a huge coincidence.

[@brickwalla]

The ending with the tape is the romcom equivalent of waking up to a tape in a saw movie

[@kieranwright8871]

The fact Jacob hired a boat for a film review, genuinely I’m not surprised but I love this

[@13E7gamerz]

THANK YOU! I've had people tell me I'm wrong when I say that this movie is creepy as all hell and not at all romantic. If this came across as an actual news story, people would be out with pitchforks to murder the guy, and I think rightfully so!

[@abryn6864]

Honestly I do love this video, the fact that you don't make videos about movies makes this so much more interesting.

So here’s a fun thing to hear that makes it better: this movie inspired actual treatment of people with short term memory issues and other similar situations and it found to help them a lot. And the fact ending of movie implies that she’s at least recognizing things as familiar or at the very least she just needs a quick refresh to remember everything or most of it rather than forgetting everything
