Fields of Glory

Cool Runnings (1993)


Listen Later

Biggs and Aaron go to the Olympics with arguably the most famous bobsled team of all time, not the actual team of course but the Disney version complete with racist names (Sanka Coffee!?!?), an angry and violent and arrogant (and lovable!) white guy in charge (why doesn't John Candy make jokes?), and a soundtrack that "popularizes" reggae with new takes on old hits (it's so affordable!). Deep down it is an incredible story about historic athletes in a sport that is terrifying, and there is some of that in there too. Don't miss it!
