Welcome to The Bomb Shelter, the Podcast that takes a deep dive into the biggest stars' biggest failures. Host Ryan takes his friends, Angelo and Jonny, on a journey to understand of the origins, production, and aftermath of these flops.This week, it's Adam Sandler and the ill fated Little Nicky. Released in November 2000, Little Nicky came off a wave of Adam Sandler successes like Happy Gilmore, The Waterboy, Billy Madison and Big Daddy. What could possibly go wrong? Well, a lot could go wrong. The film made nowhere near its $100 million budget, and probably changed the way Adam Sandler chose roles in the future (then again, have you seen Jack & Jill?). A confused genre with some promise and a lot of holes, there was an evident disconnect between production and fans.  Why did it fail? Whose career suffered the most? Would it work today? How would a new director change the trajectory of the film? And if there were a sequel, what would it look like? Find the answers to these questions and more, in the latest episode of The Bomb Shelter.
