Episode 24 ~ Hoosiers (1987)



We've covered quite a few sports movies so far in our special, and we've seen more or less how the formula came to be throughout the 1980s into what it would be parodied by the '90s and beyond. What we're seeing less of as we go along are movies that break the mold.

Until today, that is. Hoosiers is a pretty special movie in how accurately it both mythologizes the sport in question while also delivering a great drama centered around a town that lives to aim high. What you get is a sports movie up there with the best--one that is still quite unmatched today. Even despite all we've covered so far, nothing is like Hoosiers, and that is is why it has aged so well and still comes highly recommended.

Find out just why that is in today's episode!
