In Episode 111, host Christopher Morais discusses the Montreal Canadiens Media Day and the bombshell dropped by Brendan Gallagher, who said he will be moving on to play elsewhere in 2026-27. He also talks about Patrik Laine's season and why he was comfortable being on IR despite being healthy since January. All eyes now turn to the Stanley Cup Finals! The Carolina Hurricanes and Vegas Golden Knights have proven they deserve to be here, but only one team can walk away with the greatest trophy in professional sports. Who has the edge going into this series? Can Frederik Andersen continue his strong play? Will Mitch Marner come away victorious? Finally, Chris takes a moment to discuss Claude Lemieux and his recent passing. The details around his death are still vague, but Lemieux did take his own life.

That's right, it's time for Blake and Michael to take to the ice in George Roy Hill's Slap Hot! Michael is a down-on-his-luck player-coach for perhaps the worst team in the league.

So, is this movie deserving of the legendary status it has? Is it a classic sports comedy? Or, like some of it's dialog, should it be left in the 70s?

In honour of Matt strapping on the goalie pads again for the first time in many years (and not completely pulling his groin), it only made sense to revisit the classic hockey comedy, 'Slap Shot' from 1977. This isn't the first time seeing the movie for either Julian or Matt but it's been a long time so there are plenty of questions still to answer. Here's a few examples: How well shot are the hockey scenes? Does the movie feature more or less actual hockey than 'Heated Revelry'? Does the plot and/or humour hold up all these years later? All these questions are answered in time, but we're also trying something new this month. Instead of a traditional movie review, Julian and Matt decided to go a layer deeper and add a full commentary track for the movie as well. So enjoy the full review, which takes place, before, during, and after the movie itself, and sync up your own copy of the movie (there's a countdown before we start) to get the full experience!

Episode 107 begins with host Christopher Morais discussing the latest news in the NHL. Highlights include Jakob Dobes being named First Star of the Week and the possibility of the Canadiens hosting an outdoor game in the near future. In a surprising move, the Vegas Golden Knights have decided to change their head coach. They have relieved Bruce Cassidy of his duties and brought in John Tortorella for the remainder of the season. This change comes at a questionable time, with only eight games left in the regular season. Can Tortorella really turn things around before the playoffs start?

Connor McDavid suggested the process might need to change. Is he correct? What would that change look like? Finally, Leon Draisaitl is likely done for the regular season, which means someone has to step up. Which forward is going to see a bump in ice time and possibly in production?

Sam and Beth opt for a little levity this episode, after 2 historic gold medal and thrilling performances by U.S. Women's and Men's Hockey in the Olympics. The playoff chase is also coming down to the wire in the NHL and PWHL. Consider this episode our tribute to those winsome rapscallions- the kings and queens of municipal ice rinks, or frozen solid mill ponds, as well as their insanely devoted fan base. No other duo has quite the unique talent of breaking the fourth wall without breaking it— taking us along for the ride on the inside, with a wink and a nod, to show us how things really are. This is Hill's and Newman's super power. Nancy Dowd's script is alive with the language of the locker room and the chirping of the ice. The film isn't mired in the sentimentality of a bygone era of steel mills, union halls, and local minor league hockey. It lives and breathes, and is self-aware that the simplicity of that the microcosm, by 1977, was quickly slipping away. In subtle ways, Slap Shot is prophetic.It's a tale of Sisyphean struggle, and sometimes the only way out, is by using a little imagination.Episode links:“Slap Shot revisited with Dave Hanson” https://youtu.be/xA8G6omkAwI?si=n40YKWU53bEwGC3TAuthor Says Her ‘Slap Shot' , New York Times, Mar. 3, 1977. https://www.nytimes.com/1977/03/03/archives/author-says-her-slap-shot-talk-is-realistic.html?smid=url-shareJohnstown Hockey History https://youtu.be/EhxRR6mdtbs?si=l-4KXU9cTZ8M6nna

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.

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.

Paul Newman was more than just a salad dressing, at one point he was a hockey player-coach for a rowdy Midwest minor league team about to go skates up. With a Disney plot build up and more F-words than Webster's, did this sports dramedy have a fighting chance?  It's the Brain's goal to find out! You can also watch this, and many more episodes in full video on our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@TheFilmWithThreeBrains

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.
