Episode 8 ~ The Longest Yard (1974)

Surprise! Bet you didn't think we'd be back so soon, but here we are!

The reason we're back is because it's June and we're heading into summer, so you know what that means? That's right, it's time for a Summer Special!

This time we're not being coy--we've decided to cover sports movies. Not just any sports movies, but ones that tend to get left out of modern discussions aside from the usual late '80s comedies and family films of the '90s. With that we've started with the 1970s, before the tropes ever set in.

And what better place to start than with the classic 1974 film, The Longest Yard! It helps, too, that we can finally cover a Burt Reynolds movie, and what a movie it is!

There's no sense going on about it here, but just know that this movie is a lot more than you might think it is, and boy is there a lot to it. Check out the episode to see just what we mean, and we'll see you when we continue our trek next week! Yes, we're going to be weekly again for awhile. It's almost like old times again.
