Hi, my name is Matt, and I absolutely love sports movies (to the extent that everybody else apparently loves Marvel movies). And, my girlfriend Alicia has basically never watched any of them…ever. So, every week, I bribe Alicia with a box of Milk Duds and a can of Dr. Pepper so that she will sit dow…
This week I made Alicia watch the 1992 Tom Hanks / Geena Davis baseball classic – A League of Their Own – a movie kinda based on actual events and actual people…but with lots of great Hollywood literary license taken to spice things up a bit for the screen.
This week I made Alicia watch an absolute classic film from my childhood – one of my favorite Stallone films of all time…and about one of the greatest sports that didn’t really survive outside of the 80’s (super unfortunate) – yep, it’s Hawk and Son on a cross-country big rig road trip…get ready for Over […]
This week Alicia actually made me a movie – a movie that her (and probably women her age) loved growing up. It’s a classic cheerleading / teen movie from 2000 starring Kirsten Dunst and Eliza Dushku – this week are talking Bring It On (the first one).
This week we make a detour and I make Alicia go out to the local drive-in for throwback thursday and watch another great 1996 golf movie. Not since the days of Tin Cup have we ventured into the Tiger Woods inspired era of 1990’s golf movies – this time around it’s the Adam Sandler classic…Happy […]
This week, we begin the Kevin Costner trinity of Baseball movies – it’s the minor leagues, it’s a little insane – it’s Costner, Sarandon, and Tim Robbins – This week I made Alicia watch a movie that is about baseball, about love, about breathing of the correct eyelid (the left), and kind of a lot […]

This week we enter the high-stakes world of Obscure Sports with a World Championship the likes of which we will never see again – we’ve got Vince Vaughn, Ben Stiller, Justin Long, Jason Bateman, Chuck Norris – and many more greats…this week I made Alicia watch Dodgeball!

This week, it’s a twist as Alicia makes me watch a sports movie I have never actually seen, despite it having Michael Jordan, Nedry (Newman), Bill Murray, and music by the Quad City DJs – this week it is 1996’s Space Jam…

This week I made Alicia a classic (in my opinion) baseball movie from my childhood (Billy is 1 year younger than me) – this one is literally a young baseball fan’s wet dream that stars a ton of real MLB players from the mid 1990’s as well as the douchey brother-in-law from Field of Dreams […]

In this episode I introduce Alicia to our first Football (and Disney) movie to be featured on the show! It’s a 2000 drama featuring the legendary Denzel Washington, as well some favorites like Will Patton, Hayden Panettiere, Ryan Hurst, and Ryan Gosling – it’s 1970’s VA football – it’s Remember the Titans!

This week, I make Alicia watch a 2000 golf / philosophy movie based on a great novel by Stephen Pressfield. It’s directed by the legendary Robert Redford, and stars Matt Damon, Will Smith, and Charlize Theron. Like most of our movies so far, the critics weren’t fans, but the fans were…and it completely flopped at […]
This week I Made Alicia watch the racing movie that made NASCAR a household name outside of the deep south, Days of Thunder. It’s our first look on this podcast at Tom Cruise, Randy Quaid, and John C Riley – all of whom we will see again in future sports movies. Buckle up that harness, […]
This week I Made Alicia watch one of my favorite fighting movies growing up. It’s a movie with balls and heart. There are great actors like Eric Roberts and James Earl Jones. Maybe it doesn’t hold up all that well over the years (see the extensive racism), but I will still gladly watch whenever I […]
This week I made Alicia watch one of my all-time favorite baseball movies (and probably sports movies in general). It’s a kids movie that I still enjoy to this day, and that really holds up in my opinion. It features one of my favorite all time actos, James Earl Jones, and favorite all time comedians, […]
