Old School Lane Casual Chats: Leo

In this episode of Casual Chats, Patricia and special guest Arun
Mehta from The Arun Mehta Show discuss about the 2023
Netflix/Happy Madison Productions animated film Leo starring Adam
Sandler, Bill Burr, Cecily Strong, and Jason Alexander. Leo is a
74-year-old tuatara living as a class pet with a turtle named
Squirtle. After learning that tuataras live up to 75 years, Leo
decides that he's going to break out and make his way to the
Everglades, but things change when the main teacher leaves due to
maternity leave and a strict substitute takes her place. One
assignment they get is to bring a pet home and they take Leo. Leo
talks to them individually and gives them advice on how to better
themselves.


When the film premiered on Netflix, it received positive reviews
from critics calling it a sweet, funny, charming, and endearing
film that replaces Eight Crazy Nights and the Hotel Transylvania
films as Adam Sandler's best animated film he's ever been in. In
addition, it has received more positive reviews than Disney's
Wish. What did Arun and Patricia think of the film? Listen and
find out.
