Show notes

This week, we're firing up the time machine and going back to 1991 to talk about the dark coming of age movie, "Boyz N The Hood." We remember the time Dynamite Hack made an inexcusable cover of the song "Boyz N The Hood," talk about how great Regina King is in the movie, debate whether there's ever been a cooler name for a character than "Furious Styles," and remember the fashion icon that was Gordon Gartrelle.

Blue Chips Feb 14, 2022

Show notes

This week, we're taking a look at the seedy underbelly of college basketball with the 1994 Nick Nolte/Shaq movie, "Blue Chips." We debate Nick Nolte's merits as People Magazine's Sexiest Man Alive, hear a fun Bobby Knight story, talk about how all of the cheating in the movie would be 100% legal in the current NCAA, and wonder why the filmmakers thought Shaq was just a little too tall to be believable as a basketball player.

Race The Sun Jan 17, 2022

Show notes

This week, we're talking about one of the most off-beat underdog sports movies of the 90s, "Race the Sun." We try to figure out what European county Steve Zahn's character is supposed to be from, judge the race team for not doing any research on important local sayings, try to assess the motivations of the trillions of villains in the movie, and marvel at Eliza Dushku's dramatic glowup.
