Welcome to Movie Mandates, a review show in which sibling cinephiles Andrew and Keleigh force each other to watch movies according to a monthly theme!  This month, we're indulging in TV Movies and I've mandated BRIAN'S SONG, a docudrama that aired on ABC in the early 70s and, according to our father, is the only film to ever turn him into a sobbing mess.  Were we similarly moved by the friendship between Chicago Bears teammates Brian Piccolo and Gale Sayers?

One thing's for certain.  If Brian doesn't have a song in BRIAN'S SONG, we're going to be very disappointed.

0:00 - Trivial Trivia

22:12 - Brian's Song review

59:58 - Next episode's mandated movie

We'll be back in two weeks with another mandated movie.  If you'd like to watch it, click here to find where it's streaming or available to rent.

If you'd like to watch the video version of Movie Mandates, you can do so on YouTube.  Alternatively, you can listen to and audio-only version on iTunes.  New episodes of Movie Mandates drop on the first and third Wednesday of every month!

Welcome to Movie Mandates, a review show in which sibling cinephiles Andrew and Keleigh force each other to watch movies according to a monthly theme!  February is Good Bad Guys month, a celebration of protagonists who aren't really the best people.  We're concluding this month's theme with Keleigh's mandated movie, MR. RIGHT, a film about a former hitman who leaves the life and makes amends for his past deeds by killing people who hire hitmen.  Well, at least his heart's in the right place!
