Show notes

If you missed "McFarland, USA" when it premiered to film audiences, you're not alone.

"Everybody Wants Some" with Chris Crawford Apr 12, 2021

Show notes

The spiritual sequel to "Dazed and Confused" doesn't have its predecessor's popularity (yet), but "Everybody Wants Some" is a Hall of Fame sports movie. NBC Sports' Chris Crawford joins host Kyle Bandujo on Big Screen Sports to talk about Richard Linklater's ode to 1980 and college baseball. The best scenes, impeccable casting, and how a movie with only one baseball scene might be the most baseball-centric movie since Bull Durham.

"He Got Game" with Mike Schubert Mar 30, 2021

Show notes

Spike Lee + Denzel is a match made in movie heaven, but a standout performance from future Hall of Famer Ray Allen might be what pushes "He Got Game" over the top into basketball movie royalty. Mike Schubert returns to Big Screen Sports to discuss the film's place among the top basketball movies ever made, Denzel playing Ray Allen in 1 on 1, and riding in a car with Big Time Willie.
