Wicked Psychotherapists
What do therapy, ’80s and ’90s nostalgia, today’s hottest shows and movies—and a surprising number of Adam Sandler films—have in common?
Tanya Dos Santos and Erin Gray—two licensed psychotherapists with a wicked New England twist—are here to spill the tea and the therapeutic insights.
On The Wicked Psychotherapists Podcast, Tanya and Erin break down the mental health themes that matter most—anxiety, identity, burnout, self-worth, relationships, and resilience—through the lens of pop culture. From the rad classics of the ’80s and ’90s to today’s buzziest series and films, nothing is off-limits… especially when it somehow connects back to Adam Sandler.
Yes, we said it.
From revisiting old favorites to analyzing newer Sandler movies—and exploring the six degrees of separation of Adam Sandler—this podcast blends humor, nostalgia, and psychological insight in a way that’s smart, entertaining, and refreshingly real.
Whether you’re comfort-watching a childhood favorite, bingeing something new, or wondering why a goofy comedy hit you right in the feelings, we’re here to help you connect the dots between what you watch and how you feel.
Expect:
- Candid therapy talk with heart and humor
- Pop culture deep dives with a mental health lens
- ’80s, ’90s, and today’s movies and shows (yes, including lots of Adam Sandler)
- A dose of nostalgia, a dash of sass, and a lot of wisdom

Chuck & Larry: Our Take

This week on Wicked Psychotherapists, we revisit the 2007 Adam Sandler and Kevin James comedy I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry and ask: did this movie age poorly?
We’re not film critics — we’re therapists who love (and sometimes question) Adam Sandler movies and what they reveal about people, relationships, and culture.
What felt like a light comedy in 2007 hits very differently today. We talk through the humor, the stereotypes, and the way the film portrays friendship, masculinity, grief, identity, and partnership through a modern psychological lens.
We also dig into the emotional side of the story — grief, loyalty, long-term friendship bonds, and what happens when systems force people into impossible choices. Along the way, we explore first responder culture, relationship dynamics, and why certain parts of the movie still work emotionally even when others don’t.
It’s a nostalgic rewatch, a psychology conversation, and a very real-time reaction to a movie that feels very much like its era.
