Biggs and Aaron continue the first batch of season two with the kid’s movie that launched an NHL hockey team that would go on to win the Stanley Cup: it’s The Mighty Ducks! We talk about the behemoth that is Disney synergy, the sexism in “misfit teams”, and about children’s movies that are not actually about children. Get your quack on, let’s GOOOO DUCKS.

Biggs and Aaron wash up on shore with a kid named Alex, and a mystery horse, continuing the batch on child labor with the much beloved 1979 kid’s classic: The Black Stallion. We talk about showing instead of telling, the sounds of horses, and the gentlest male power fantasy you will ever see.

The first batch episode of season two jumps out of the gates with National Velvet, the story of a twelve year old girl who loves horses and prays for horses that nobody else wants and rides him to Grand National glory. There is a time and a place for everything, and apparently for women and girls sports it’s that ONE time and that ONE place? This movie broke a child’s back but it’s also a classic, check it out!

Biggs and Aaron go back to 1915 to watch an icon of cinema: Charlie Chaplin. He’s a boxer so down on luck that even his pooch won’t eat his hotdog. Cinema will never be the same again. We do commentary for this short film that can be found on YouTube, but doesn’t need to be watched to follow the episode.

Season One ends with a look at Spike Lee's legacy piece on basketball, He Got Game. Biggs and Aaron (two white guys) talk about racism, masculinity, and prison (see also: the collegiate sports industrial complex) to the sounds of Aaron Coppland and Public Enemy, what could be more American than that? Basketball puts everything into motion (often poetic slow motion!) including family, community, identity, and money; there are vulnerable and complicated men as well as predictable and disposable women; lurking behind it all we find questions of fatherhood and discipline with one question bookending it all: who will play guard?
