Heard JAY KELLY is coming. The agreement was made when there was still buzz around it—would guess it gets officially announced early next year.

I liked Jay Kelly a lot but that would be pretty ridiculous if Meyerowitz Stories didn’t get released with it. I’d say White Noise too but it seems Baumbach wants us or himself to forget about it, which is too bad because we played part of the ending at our wedding.

Jay Kelly is legitimately great, as is White Noise. It does feel like Netflix reeled back the licensing for a minute there so maybe JK is just a return to Baumbach/Netflix for them and hopefully they catch back up with his other two.

This will be my singular guess on that thread. It’s long over due and always think an Oct release is perfect for this

I was a big fan of both Sandler/Baumbach films. This will be very welcome especially with a Meyerowitz Stories release.

Who would've thunk in 1996 that Sandler would one day have 4 films in The Collection?! (If it happens.)

Sandler is incredible in both Baumbachs. Him in Jay Kelly has the power of seeing Chaplin cry, and that’s on the cumulative history of his “dumb” comedies as much as the auteur vehicles.

Meyerowitz is top tier Baumbach and it has a bunch of stars, it’s crazy to still not have a disc release. And Sandler absolutely deserved an Oscar nom for it

He deserved two for it, “Genius Girl” is one of the best original songs they could’ve nominated this century.
