podcast 15 (right click, save as)In this over sized podcast we talk about sports themed movies and sports movies. We talk about The Bad News Bears and I talk about the awesomeness of the training montage in Rocky IV. We delve into a discussion about what makes something a sport? Zack talks about his love for the film Cool Runnings and The Greatest Game Ever Played.

In the pitch segment I basically talk about a stripper/sports movie hybrid idea that leads us to discuss which actresses have large breasts. Zack’s pitch is a sports movie set in World War II. Then we do a new segment where I provide a “deep reading” of Oliver Stone’s Any Given Sunday as an analysis of what sport’s movies say about being a man.
