Grab your passports and sharpen your skates, comrades—because on the latest episode of Cinematic Underdogs, we're defecting straight into one of the most Cold War-adjacent sports docs ever crafted: The Russian Five! That's right—we're back and chatting about the real-life Red Dawn that hit the NHL when the Detroit Red Wings recruited five elite Soviet hockey players straight outta the Iron Curtain. Envision The Mighty Ducks facing-off against Mission: Impossible—missing teeth, Russian camaraderie, KGB henchman lurking in the shadows. The doc goes far beyond hockey, though—tapping into Cold War dynamics, draft day auspiciousness, and an on-ice revolution, whizzing by on skates.Sergei Fedorov, Slava Fetisov, Vladimir Konstantinov. Slava Kozlov, Igor Larionov: this legendary group of Soviet-born ice-skating assassins redefined line chemistry and international talent acquisition with slap shots hard enough and accents thick enough to leave opponents dizzy. They brought a USSR-informed brand of hockey to the NHL (emphasizing puck possession, short passes, constant motion, & a deep understanding of spatial awareness) and quickly revolutionized the NHL in the 90's with a fast, fluid, & cerebral style of play, ending Detroit's 42-year Stanley Cup drought with a championship in 1997—and again in 1998 (albeit without Konstantinov, who was paralyzed in a tragic limo accident just days after they hoisted the cup in '97). In the episode, we slice through everything: top-secret phone calls, high-stakes defections, shadowy figures in trench coats, and yes—the heartbreaking limo accident that nearly shattered the dream team and wore heavily on the players' hearts as they repeated their championship run. From behind-the-scenes espionage to Stanley Cup glory, The Russian Five is so wild you'll think it was ghostwritten by Tom Clancy and coached by Gordon Bombay. So lace up, comrades—because this week, we're dropping the puck on The Russian Five. Let's get Red-y to rumble!

Maxime revient sur les contrecoups de son piercing, il rit de l'agencement de couleurs douteux des vêtements de Niquette et on mange du gruau lousse.Julien lance ensuite un défi titanesque à Maïté en lui faisant interpréter pas moins de 5 mises en situation toutes plus inusités et tragiques les unes que les autres.

C'était tellement un bon discours que Maxime ose même se comparer au célèbre Gordon Bombay!Et Niquette profite de la présence de notre comédienne maison pour retomber en mode thérapie et il recrée la fois où Maxime et lui ont été victimes du hold-up le plus décevant de l'Histoire criminelle québécoise alors qu'ils étaient de fiers employés du Superclub Vidéotron de Valleyfield!

Cue the motivational music of your choice - Survivor's “Eye of the Tiger,” Queen's “We Are The Champions,” Kate Bush's “Running Up That Hill,” Elton John's “The Bitch Is Back,” John Williams' “Duel of the Fates,” or even the theme tune to “Laverne and Shirley” … schlemiel, schlimazel, Hasenpfeffer incorporated and whatnot … we're gonna make it!) Bottom of the ninth, one run down, bases loaded with tie on third and the win on second looking born to run. Two strikes and you've got the bat in hand - can you hit it out of the park for you and your business? After listening to this week's Overlap Podcast, we think you'll definitely make a move that'll have Harry Caray screaming “Holy Cow!” … or at least make Vin Scully shut up about Farmer John hot dogs for like five minutes, for cripes sake… This week, our boys Sid and Keith will find their focus on the final 5 to 10 percent of whatever tyrannical task or grandiose goal you have before you. Think of them as the Burgess Meredith to your Rocky, the Misters Miyagi to your Daniel San … or Hillary Swank San in that third one, the John Candy to your Jamaican bobsled team, the Morris Buttermaker to the Bad News Bear of your choosing or the Gordon Bombay to your Mightiest of Ducks. Quack. Quack. Quack. Quack. Quack. Just like Powdermilk Biscuits in the big blue box, they'll give you the strength to go out and do what needs to be done, though neither Sid nor Keith are as tasty or expeditious. (We can't actually verify that last statement, but I don't think there's anyone on God's green earth that wants to be the ones to verify that last statement. Move to strike passed by acclamation. Takaways: The final 5-10% is harder than all of the first 90% What are you putting off? How can we get it done on time and on budget? Set time schedules or milestones and track progress.

PATREON PARTY PLEASER: This movie was selected by our Patreon Supporters over at the Cinematic Doctrine Patreon. Support as little as $3 a month and have your voice heard! Shirleon and Melvin travel back a whopping thirty years to summarize The Mighty Ducks, the early 90's hockey trilogy-starter! What a throwback! From simple-yet-compelling characters to an outright scumbag of a villain, The Mighty Ducks sure offered a lot to discuss! Tune in now! Quack Quack! Topics:(PATREON EXCLUSIVE) 31-minutes discussing the dynamics of nostalgia. We discuss its dictionary definition, how content like Urban Exploration is cultivated around nostalgia, and how nostalgia isn't always a yearning for things in our own childhood. We also discuss some Bible verses that speak into the dangers of over-indulging nostalgia rather than mere acceptance of its experience. (PATREON EXCLUSIVE)Shirleon reveals a groundbreaking insight into the hit 1992 hockey movie The Mighty Ducks... does Gordon Bombay have a house?The start of the movie has a weird, sped-up, slapstick heavy sequence that seems out of place. Shirleon proposes a clever re-write.Melvin wonders if most sports movie villains were based around infamous high-school basketball coach Bobby Knight.There's a subtle thread throughout the film that Gordon, after the loss of his father, is still struggling to grow without a father figure, and for the film's sake is in between two options: Coach Reilly or Hans.Talking about how 90s and early 2000s fashion is so in right now.That odd moment where Charlie asks Gordon to pursue his mother.The entirety of the third act, most notably the film's climax, is a great, simple, and accessible depiction of recovering from past trauma. It's clever!Recommendations:Expedition Roasters (Coffee Beans)The Way of the Househusband (2021) (Anime)The Way Back (2020) (Movie) Support the showSupport on Patreon for Unique Perks!
