Joe Rogan reveals the Adam Sandler movie that left him breathless

We already know that Joe Rogan loves Adam Sandler’s movies. He probably watched all of them in one sitting. But there was one movie that truly resonated with him: Uncut Gems. Had Rogan almost rolling on the floor, choking with laughter, which was surprising.

On episode #2306 of The Joe Rogan Experience with Deric Poston, Rogan couldn’t stop gushing about Uncut Gems. “The movie’s so good it locks you in,” he said. “It locked you into this character and his decision-making, and this addiction to gambling that he has.” But he didn’t stop there. Rogan went on to say that the shady characters in the film had him breathing heavy for a couple of minutes

He added, “Shady characters all around, everybody is pulling scams… at the end of the movie, you are like what the f—k. Yeah, that movie—I shut it off, and I was just breathing heavy for 5 minutes.” However, it still remains the fact that comedy is a very subjective genre, and many have different tastes. With that said, are you a fan of Adam Sandler’s movies? Please comment down if you have one.
