Adam Sandler and Netflix may be thrilled about their multi-film deal to make movies for the streaming service, but the comedian’s mom isn’t so happy about it.
It turns out, as Sandler explained on Thursday’s Jimmy Kimmel Live, his mom doesn’t know how to use Netflix even though his brother set it up for her so she only has to press a button.
“Has [your mom] figured out Netflix yet,” Kimmel asked Sandler.
Sandler said that no, she still struggles with it. “It’s a horrible thing,” said Sandler. “This is my third movie for Netflix that my mother won’t see.”
The comedian recently signed a second four-film deal with Netflix. The first two movies released under his first deal — The Ridiculous 6 and The Do-Over — are the biggest film releases ever for the streaming service. His third movie, Sandy Wexler, starts streaming on Netflix on April 14.
Sandler said his mother gets “so upset” about not being able to use Netflix, asking how you do it and saying, “It’s going to start trouble.”
“She’s just going to skip my next eight movies and then we will get her back,” laughed Sandler.
