Who said you had to be good to make podcasts? Little Giants tells the story of misfit children who just want to be allowed to compete in an aggressive and competitive arena with the bigger boys (and girls) who are just cooler and more suited to it than them....I dont feel seen, you feel seen! Its time for another American Football Movie and this time Joe and James are breaking the first rule of...
Raging Bull (1980) Making the antithesis of Rocky is not so black and white!
มุมมอง 1514 วันที่ผ่านมา
I'm da boss, I'm da boss, I'm da boss, I'm da boss, I'm da boss... Scorsese dodges a bullet in life after surviving a drug overdose and doubles down on dodging a career suicide by making the greatest sports biography ever put on film. When you know how much James loves Rocky, Joe putting him though watching Raging Bull, a movie that in many ways is a complete contrast to Rocky is just cruel and...

What? Friends listen to ‘Endless Love’ in the dark. If you want to build a successful comedic sports movie career, its always best to start with Golf! Sandler says that Happy Gilmore is is favourite movie he made. But we now know him as a talented film maker with a whole bunch of sports movies under his belt Joe and James are not golfers, even if they have tried a bit before, This episode howev...

I drive truck, break arms, and make mediocre podcasts about sports movies . It's what I love to do, it's what I do best. Being number one is everything. There is no second place. Second sucks. When all your money from Rocky has started to dry up and Brigette Nielsen wants a divorce, you better know how to make £12 Million Dollars for a movies about trucks and arm wrestling damnit! James has nev...
Cars (2006)

Well its come that time to gain some young listeners, and mostly at the behest of James, our dynamic duo are covering a Disney Pixar Movie! 2006's Cars follows impetuous and self centred race car Lightning McQueen as he tries to win his first Piston Cup whilst learning a few lessons along the way about friendship and teamwork. Joe and James know by now what makes a champion, but is this up ther...
Ford vs Ferrari (2019) - Furious nods of acknowledgement and hat doffing across the Atlantic
มุมมอง 7หลายเดือนก่อน
There's a point at 15 podcasts deep... where everything fades. The podcast becomes weightless. Just disappears. And all that's left is Joe and James talking about if a movie is any good or not. Neither James nor Joe drive a Ford, but that is simply because they are degenerates! They do however at this point know their big end from their transmission when it comes to sports movies and this one, ...
Kingpin (1996)
มุมมอง 4หลายเดือนก่อน
It all comes down to this roll. Roy Munson, a man-child, with a dream to topple bowling giant Ernie McCracken. If he strikes, he's the 1979 Odor-Eaters Champion. He's got one foot in the frying pan and one in the pressure cooker. Believe me, as a bowler, I know that right about now, your bladder feels like an overstuffed vacuum cleaner bag and your butt is kinda like an about-to-explode bratwur...
What memorabilia would we steal from our movies so far?

Hey there its Joe, Just a little bonus episode cut from Kingpin which comes out tomorrow. We had a discussion about the items we like from each episode up until now that we would like to have, rather than cutting it, I thought we would give it to you as a separate bonus! Enjoy

Foxcatcher (2014)
มุมมอง 14หลายเดือนก่อน
Oh this episode is depressing....What do you get when you cross a megalomaniacal multi-billionaire with an obsession for freestyle wrestling? A recipe for disaster and depression. Foxcatcher tells the story of the Schultz Brothers (Mark and Dave) and their interaction with Du Pont billionaire John Du Pont and his making of the Foxcatcher Wrestling team in the late 90s until its demise in 1996. ...
Jerry Maguire (1996)

Its the final episode of season 1 and the end of our Tom Cruise series! James has been eagerly waiting for this one and boy oh boy does it disappoint him. When is a sports rom-com not good? Well when its more rom-com than necessary and its so 90s that its painful. But how do you make a podcast about a movie that really isn't very good? You laugh at it and provide a stellar sequel pitch to boot!...
