In honour of the 18-year anniversary of Anaheim being awarded an NHL team, Rachael analyzes one of the most beloved hockey films of all-time: "The Mighty Ducks". The film was not well-reviewed when it was first released, but has since become a cult-classic, and a widely successful media franchise for Disney, spawning two sequels, a television show, and a National Hockey League team (the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim, now known as the Anaheim Ducks). "The Mighty Ducks" stars Emilio Estevez as Gordon Bombay, a cocky lawyer, who is ordered to coach a ragtag peewee hockey team in Minneapolis, Minnesota, as part of his community service for a DUI. The film also stars a young, unknown Joshua Jackson as Charlie Conway, one of the hockey players on the Ducks.

Just in time for American Thanksgiving, Rachael brings back another popular guest-former Calgary Dinos football player and freelance Yahoo football writer Kellen Forrest to discuss the quintessential American football film of the 21st century: "Friday Night Lights".

As the World Series continues, Rachael brings back resident baseball expert and friend of the show Logan Lockhart to discuss one of the craziest MLB playoff stories ever, involving the"cursed" Chicago Cubs and the then-Florida Marlins. The infamous incident from 2003 was depicted in the 2011 ESPN original film "Catching Hell", directed by Oscar-winning documentary filmmaker Alex Gibney ("Taxi to the Dark Side"). Logan and Rachael also examine why baseball fans love curses so much, and why the sport is so rife with superstitions, more so than any other sport.

Just in time for the start of the skating Grand Prix season, Rachael continues covering sports she's never covered before on the podcast. This week: her first figure skating film, "I, Tonya", the excellent film about the 1993 Tonya Harding/Nancy Kerrigan incident, for which multiple Emmy Award winner Allison Janney won her first Oscar. Also starring Margot Robbie, in an Academy Award nominated performance, and a fine turn from Marvel Universe star Sebastian Stan, "I, Tonya" with its themes of social class, and domestic violence throughout, is much deeper than your average figure skating film.
