Episode 102: Slap Shot With Special Guest: Megan Craig (Associate Professor of Philosophy and Art, Stony Brook University) The gloves are off this week on Philosophy in Film as the gang faces off with George Roy Hill's bruising classic, Slap Shot! Set in the fading mill town of Charlestown, the film follows player-coach Reggie Dunlop, played by Paul Newman, as he tries to save a failing hockey team by leaning into spectacle, violence, and the sudden popularity of the Hanson Brothers. What begins as a desperate bid for ticket sales spirals into a question about integrity, entertainment, and what happens when winning becomes secondary to drawing blood. At centre ice, Craig drops the puck with Producer's Notes (), while Alain takes out some teeth with the Beauclair Synopsis (). In Philosopher's Corner, Chris digs into the film's storied history and stitches connections to our hometown. The gang heads to the penalty box for the Round Table () to consider the ethics of aggression, masculinity on ice, and the simmering class tensions bubbling beneath the boards. Reviews sound the final buzzer as we tally the hits, the heart, and whether Slap Shot earns its place in the hall. As always, we explore the philosophical and non-philosophical aspects of the film, because when the crowd wants a fight, someone still has to decide what the game is really about.

Join us as we explore this classic film and welcome back to our new season!

Tinsel and Rust: How Hollywood Manufactured the Rust Belt (Oxford UP, 2025) tells the story of Hollywood's role in the shaping of the Rust Belt in the United States. During the 1970s and 1980s, filmic representations of shuttered auto plants, furloughed millworkers, and decaying downtowns in the industrial heartland contributed to pervasive narratives of American malaise and decline--informing the wider cultural view of these cities and their people. Author Michael D. Dwyer (Arcadia University) untangles the complicated relationship between Hollywood and the Rust Belt, exploring how the sociocultural image of the region has become a tool to tell stories about America's mythic past, degraded present, and potential futures.Dwyer offers a reading in twofold: through the conventional lens of film and cultural studies, and through an interdisciplinary lens that pulls in elements of cultural geography and urban studies to understand the ways in which Americans learned to interpret the cities and towns of the industrial Midwest. Each chapter spotlights a different Rust Belt city--Johnstown, Chicago, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, and Detroit--and considers how films and filmmaking processes helped shape audiences' cultural understanding of those cities. Over the course of the book, Dwyer also examines several films which offer notable representations of the Rust Belt, including Slap Shot, The Blues Brothers, Major League, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, and It Follows. Finally, the volume highlights how in more recent years, cities like Pittsburgh, Detroit, and Cleveland have all attempted to remake their public image and revitalize their economies through film and media production.

We hope to knock this one out of the proverbial park this week as we welcome pro-pitcher, pro-vocalist and all round nice chap, Scott Radinsky from off California's very own Pulley.Scott talks us through the mismatched pass times of sport and punk rock, the mismatched careers of sport and punk rock, as well as Pulley's history and future plans.Scott also sets the record straight on a number of matters ranging from leaving his previous band to Masked Intruder stealing their passports.Tom and Niall both bring quality jokes to the table, theres a multitude of gig reports from a multitude of places and we introduce a new unit of measurement: The "do they like a laugh?" scale.Additional tunes this week are from Lost Planet Airmen, Slapshot, Hot Rockets, Less Than Jake and Amongst Strangers.
This week on Forgotten Cinema, the Mikes lace up for "Slap Shot" (1977), the raunchy hockey comedy starring Paul Newman.Mike Field finds the film hilarious, a snapshot of 70's filmmaking with its gritty, almost indie style. Mike Butler, however, doesn't find the comedy as effective; not because of the disparaging dialogue (he gets that it's from a different time), but because the style itself feels lazy and wears thin.Both agree that when the Hanson Brothers finally take the ice, the chaos they cause is wildly entertaining…though it takes nearly 48 minutes to get there. Holding the film together is Paul Newman, whose slimy yet irresistibly charming performance makes "Slap Shot" worth the watch, even if the humor doesn't always hit.What's your favorite hockey film? Let us know in the comments!

Michael reflects on a powerful and unsettling political cartoon drawn in the aftermath of the killing of Charlie Kirk (by Scott Stantis, exclusively for the Smerconish.com Daily Newsletter) — a piece that captures the intensity of America's overheated political climate. After wrestling with the heaviness of the moment, he shifts gears to lighten things up with a conversation on film. Joined by Daniel Fienberg, chief TV critic of The Hollywood Reporter, Michael dives into their list of the 25 greatest sports movies of all time. From Rocky to Slapshot, Hoosiers to Caddyshack, they debate the classics, defend the surprises, and argue over what really belongs in the top tier. It's an episode that moves from sobering reflection to cinematic joy — capturing both the weight of our times and the relief of a good escape. Original air date 12 September 2025.

In this episode of the show, we are putting on our ice skates to talk about Slap Shot as part of our August jaunt through the cinema of George Roy Hill. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about how this movie fits together with Rocky into the tapestry of 70s underdog stories, how it paints the picture of hockey as a working man's sport and small town entertainment with panache and grit and how George Roy Hill's immediate direction helped the movie become one of the most beloved sports movies. We also talk about the class and gender dynamics found in the film, Paul Newman's performance as a player-coach functioning superficially as a conversation on filmmaking and we also introduce at least one of our co-hosts to the word "goon" used as a verb.

Tyler Kennedy only drinks one cup of coffee per day and isn't addicted to caffeine like Joe. TK shares there are certain foods you should eat given whatever your blood type is. Joe said TK is the first hockey person who doesn't love Slapshot and he thinks it's not a top 3 hockey movie.
Hour 1 with Joe Starkey: Jay Woodcroft is a candidate to be the Penguins next year coach. Capitals assistant coach Mitch Love is reportedly a lead candidate for the job. Love is 40 years old and was a grinder in his playing days. TK shares there are certain foods you should eat given whatever your blood type is. He doesn't like Slapshot as a top 3 hockey movie!
This week on the podcast, I'm recommending four sports movies from the 1970s. These aren't the usual titles you hear brought up. Some are a bit strange, some are just overlooked. All of them are worth checking out.Slap Shot (1977)Directed by George Roy Hill, who also did The Sting and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Paul Newman plays the player-coach of a struggling minor league hockey team. The film is known for its rough humor and violence on the ice. It was written by Nancy Dowd, based on her brother's experience in the minors. The Hanson Brothers, who steal most of their scenes, were played by real hockey players. The film didn't do well at first but built a strong following over the years.The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh (1979)This one is about astrology and basketball. A Pittsburgh team becomes good after aligning its players' zodiac signs. It stars Julius Erving, who was still playing in the NBA at the time. The movie was shot in actual basketball arenas and features real NBA footage. The soundtrack was put together by Thom Bell, known for his work with The Spinners and The Stylistics. It's not a typical sports movie, and it's not serious, but that's part of the appeal.One on One (1977) Robbie Benson stars as a small-town high school basketball player who gets a scholarship to a big college. Benson co-wrote the script. The film was directed by Lamont Johnson, who worked mostly in television but had a few feature films. The music is by Seals and Crofts. It's more grounded than the other films in this group. The basketball scenes are decent, and the story focuses on the pressure college athletes face.The World's Greatest Athlete (1973) A Disney comedy with John Amos and Tim Conway. They go to Africa to find a new track star and bring back a Tarzan-type athlete played by Jan-Michael Vincent. Vincent did some of his own stunts, including a few track scenes. The film mixes broad humor with some light sports moments. It's not realistic, and it wasn't supposed to be. Worth a look if you want something lighter.All four of these were made during a time when studios were trying different things with sports movies. None of them are exactly like the others. If you're looking for something off the usual path, any of these would work. This is probably the first in a series of episodes I will eventually do about sports movies from this decade, I hope you enjoy them.Thanks for reading Video Store Podcast!

Dan and Gaardsy talk about the movie Slap Shot which debuted on this day in 1977 before Lou Nanne makes his weekly appearance and talks about Slap Shot, more Wild injuries and 4 Nations Face-Off.
This week on "Shat the Movies," we're hitting the rink with Slap Shot (1977), the ultimate hockey comedy! Join us as we dive into this rowdy, irreverent film about a struggling minor league hockey team and their eccentric players, led by the unforgettable Paul Newman. We'll break down the film's mix of humor, sports action, and its over-the-top characters. Whether you're a hockey fan or just in it for the laughs, get ready for a fun discussion about this cult classic that still scores today! Plot Summary: In the small New England town of Charlestown, the local mill is about to lay off 10,000 workers. The town's minor league hockey team, the Charlestown Chiefs, is doing no better. After years of failure, this will be the team's last season. Exasperated player and coach Reggie Dunlop (Paul Newman) lets the club's recent acquisitions, the Hanson Brothers, play. The brothers' actively violent and thuggish style of play excites the fans. Dunlop retools the team, using violence to draw big crowds. Commissioned by Jon W.
