On this episode of Movie Boarding, I’m joined by my good friend Luis to talk about the 1994 underdog classic Little Giants—a film that hits home in more ways than one. What starts as a fun look back at a childhood sports comedy turns into a meaningful conversation about how sports shaped our lives, from playing in the neighborhood as kids to watching games with our families today.
We reflect on how sports became a language of love and connection in our homes—fathers, siblings, cousins, and friends brought together by backyard games, game-day rituals, and those unforgettable moments of teamwork and joy. We also discuss how Little Giants captures something deeper: the value of letting kids be kids, of play without pressure, and the magic that happens when adults take a step back and just let the game unfold. We also mention how badly our respective teams are doing, some for longer than others.
If you grew up with a ball in your hand, a jersey on your back, or a coach in your family, this one’s for you. This movie star Ed O'Neil and the talented, legendary, prince of the Great White North: Rick Moranis.
