The Bragman Breakdown

This is a special episode of the podcast, as this is the first-ever edition of The Bragman Breakdown's "Monday Movie Club". Each week, in addition to sports talk, one of my best friends Hayden Buckfire will be joining the show to break down some of the most famous, polarizing, and acclaimed films ever created. This week, we are chatting about Aaron Sorkin's "The Social Network". I've always been looking for an opportunity to expand the show and increase our pop culture coverage, and I feel like this is the perfect way to do it. Don't worry, the sports coverage isn't going anywhere, but we can't wait to dive into the movies too! 

In the second half of this week’s episode, Jackson was joined by The Bragman Breakdown’s honorary co-hosts Goose and Gabe for an NBA Players Under 25 Draft as they looked to build teams for the future. Enjoy!
