Episode 23 ~ The Best of Times (1986)

In the annals of the movie halls of "Films That Could Have Existed But Unfortunately Didn't (But Somehow Do?)" with the likes of Extreme Prejudice comes this movie that no one seems to remember. Starring Robin Williams and Kurt Russell in an unlikely duo you would not expect, this football film is not quite what you might think it would be. 

At least in some ways. In other ways, The Best of Times falls a bit short of being a forgotten gem. Regardless, it's a solid watch. Find out why that is in this episode!

Episode 22 ~ Thrashin' (1986)

Wild in the Streets! It's time to go boarding with one of the most popular skateboarding movies of the 20th century. Want some fun boarding and wicked cool soundtrack? Then this is the movie for you. That's right, it's 1986's Trashin'! Essentially Romeo & Juliet on skateboards, the movie is about what you expected.

Unfortunately, this is also the movie's weakness and helps it fall short of Skateboard: The Movie and Gleaming the Cube. Though it's fine, it doesn't quite stack up. Find out exactly why that is in today's episode!

Episode 21 ~ Youngblood (1986)

Our sports special runs into a not-so-oddball picture. This would be the coming-of-age drama Youngblood, which has quite the cast. And on top of it you can pretty much guess how this flick will turn out.

Unfortunately, that's also the glaring weakness of this one. Of all the sports films we've covered so far, this is the most formulaic of them by far. It might not be a bad movie, but it doesn't quite stack up either.

Find out why in today's episode!
