In honor of Super Bowl week, get ready for a jam-packed, sport-tacular episode about sports movies! Ben and Phil discuss their all-time favorites and give their takes on what elements make a great sports film. Where do they stand on classics like Remember the Titans and Friday Night Lights? Does Karate Kid fit the genre? If Lucas Black isn’t a good actor, why does he keep popping up in great sports movies (Ben digs himself quite a hole on that one)? Finally, a case is made for The Parent Trap being an average sports film (yes, really).
The guys also discuss the news that EA sports is bringing back its NCAA Football franchise and look ahead to the Super Bowl. Will 95-year old Tom Brady get his 47th title? Or will the god-like Patrick Mahomes topple the giant and and earn his second straight championship, solidifying him as Ben’s second favorite player ever (behind Mike Winchell)? You’ll have to listen to find out who’s going to win. Because this podcast can definitely predict the future.
