Ep. 60 - Bend It Like Beckham

For the first time on this channel, we talk about soccer with Bend it like Beckham!
Parminder Nagra and a pre-stardom Keira Knightley are best buddy soccer-lovers in director Gurinder Chadha's feminist flick. Clearly Bend It Like Beckham wasn't made for a couple of middle-aged Canadian men to discuss, but we were quite entertained all the same. We talked about male/female double standards (especially as it relates to scars), we talked about the strange "girl, you need a boyfriend ASAP" mandate from the parents and we talked about how a couple of those funny parents steal the whole movie.
Well, you have never heard us talk about the footie, so it's time to do that right now, innit?!

Ep. 59 - The Last Boy Scout

Bruce Willis & Damon Wayans crack a lot of wise and take a lot of beatings from some terrific villains in The Last Boy Scout.
This is a strange "sports" movie (hey, it has football in it!) because Shane Black's dialogue is incredibly quotable and the actors are pretty good, but Tony Scott sure could direct some slickly brutal violence and nihilism when he wanted to. In short, this movie is cool, but ridiculous.
We talked about Boy Scout's version of the NFL, Jimmy Dix's justification for taking drugs & gambling and we discussed who the real hero is. With any luck, she just might end up a sociopath when she grows up!
So don't scream in pain even when your life is in constant danger. Just dance a jig as you devour our 59th episode.
