About the episode
This week on The Worst Movie Podcast, Ade and Aaron kick off Horrible Holidays with Jack and Jill (2011) — the Sandler-verse twin comedy that tries to coast on wigs, pratfalls, and CGI jump roping. With Adam Sandler playing both an ad executive and his chaotic sister, Al Pacino delivering a fully unhinged performance fueled by real-life financial desperation, and Katie Holmes standing politely off to the side like she wandered onto the wrong sound stage, it’s a film so sloppy it somehow swept all 10 Razzie categories.
Grab your Dunkachino, brace for twin-language gibberish, and join Ade and Aaron as they tackle cruise-ship detours, uncomfortable picnics, feral dinner guests, and a finale so self-aware even Pacino begs for the footage to be destroyed. Because if Jack and Jill taught us anything, it’s that building a movie around a vacation itinerary is great for Adam Sandler — and catastrophic for everyone else.
