It's time for another trip down the lane on our sports movie journey. Of course, what retrospective on sports films would be complete without the 1975 favorite Rollerball, a dystopian nightmare world with a game as brutal as the stakes.
Despite what you might have heard, Rollerball is not a mindless action-fest covered with blood and guts. In fact, it's a look at a world that might have been and the sort of sport that might have been used to hold it together, while also showing just how sports connects the populace in the first place. All while using a completely invented sport that actually works.
What you get is a movie unlike any other in the genre, and one well worth discussing today. Check out the full episode to hear our thoughts!
