NFL Football is back - what better time to revisit THE REPLACEMENTS? It's a harmless screwball NFL comedy about a lovable band of football misfits! Or... is it actually super weird politically, and an artifact of an even more anti-union, anti-labour attitude towards sports strikes, and strikes in general? Keanu Reeves and Gene Hackman may be two all time greats, but even their charm can't diminish how WEIRD The Replacements feels in 2018. Listen as we talk NFL football, sports fandoms, and regressive politics that weren't seen as "political!"
