Ep. 80 - Lucas

Lucas is one of the sweetest movies we'll ever cover, but there are many troubling stories about alleged awfulness behind the scenes. While Charlie Sheen is about as likable in this film as he's ever been on-screen, he might not have been so likable off-screen. Corey Haim is also terrific and he's at his best as the smart weirdo who wins big in the end and (eventually) learns to stay in his romantic lane. The football in Lucas might be as inaccurate and downright dopey as it gets, but that's redeemed by a climax that manages to give us a GOOD version of the dreaded slow clap. So don't suit up for a high school football game when you're just not up to the challenge, but learn to recognize when you're firmly in the friend zone as we gab about puppy love, bullying and stubborn determination.

Ep. 79 - Enter the Dragon

To "enter" our 3rd year of this sporty podcast, we head overseas to register for a martial arts tournament on a mysterious island of drugs, enslavement and death in Enter the Dragon. Fun!
Actually, Enter The Dragon IS fun and it feels so much like a James Bond movie that you almost wonder why they didn't just cast Sean Connery in (one of) the lead role(s) instead of John Saxon. Then again, Saxon and of course the inimitable Bruce Lee are better at MMA exploits than most other actors are at, well, anything. This Kung Fu megahit is the foundation for Lee's legacy, a legend that will live on forever. Is the movie itself worthy of that reputation? Well, cozy up to the dragon to find out what we thought as we provide you with emotional content.
