Spaceman Gives Adam Sandler Another Meaty Role, Without a Script to Match

2 years 1 month ago
Nearly 30 years after Billy Madison, an early Adam Sandler vehicle that bravely explored the complicated relationship between man and gargantuan penguin, the comedian-turned-actor once again finds himself facing a colossal creature that just won’t leave him alone. Sure, Spaceman swaps the man-child sent back to K-12 schooling for a lonely astronaut journeying into deep space, subs the enormous flightless bird for a gigantic alien spider and reduces the number of bits to near-zero, but the fact remains: Even accounting for his recent run of serious roles, the Sandman can still find ways to surprise us with a performance. It’s been six months since the Czech Republic’s first independent astronaut Jakub Prochazka (Sandler) was launched into the outer reaches of our solar system.

After two recent fried chicken joint closures — Chicken Out and Sunday Best — the arrival of a new place to get our fix is more welcome than ever. The fourth St. Louis-area location of Chuck’s Hot Chicken opened Tuesday, February 27, at 3155 South Kingshighway Boulevard in south city, in the former home of Courtesy Diner. What started as a single storefront in Maryland Heights specializing in Nashville hot chicken has experienced remarkable success — including being named a Sauce Best New Restaurant of 2021 — and is now franchising locations around the St. Louis area, and even one in Wichita, Kansas.
