Ep. 23 - Draft Day

Another Kevin Costner sports movie? Yup, this is our 3rd K.C. flick out of 23 total episodes of Scoring At The Movies, this time with Draft Day.
Costner's a man that likes to sweat, but in this case he’s a G.M. doing everything EXCEPT sweating… on the field. And he does a bang-up job as the Cleveland Browns’ miracle-maker. This flick was not a hit and it’s got a multitude of flaws, but we dug it anyway, even if we found much to critique. It’s practically a fantasy film where EVERYTHING works out… or is it actually more believable than you think?
We also got into what is the BIGGEST fantasy in this movie (ie. civility from sports fans) and we hash out all the wheeling & dealing by Costner and his rivals. So as we approach the NFL’s 2019 Draft (which is on April 25th), huddle up for our take on Ivan Reitman’s football-in-the-boardroom picture.

Ep. 22 - Happy Gilmore

With the 2019 Masters just around the corner, the 22nd dose of Scoring At The Movies finds us gaping at Adam Sandler’s club-throwing rage on the golf course in Happy Gilmore.
This was his second starring role and even at that point he was hitting his now trademark beats: he’s a violent sociopath, embarrasses his rival and gets the girl. This is one of his funnier flicks though and Christopher McDonald, Carl Weathers & Julie Bowen are all as responsible for that as Sandler is. Oh, and Bob Barker! It’s a hockey movie a la Goon early on, but then it all comes down to the big golf match between the hero and the villain…only, which of them is the real villain?
So don’t eat pieces of sh*t for breakfast. Just enjoy our pithiest episode yet!
