The Weekly Movie Throwdown

Wildcats (1986): Goldie Hawn on the Gridiron


Listen Later

This week on the show, it's a Rewatch & Reconsider episode, where Mike and Steven revisit a film that is generally considered a clunker, and re-evaluate it to see if it's still bad or if it got better with time. This time around the guys are watching Wildcats, the Goldie Hawn-starring high school football film from 1986. With the first on-screen appearance of Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson, and an early rap from LL Cool J, Wildcats is very much of an era. Is it worth a watch in 2025? Check out the episode to find out!
