About this episode
The hosts discuss the film The Replacements in the context of the Super Bowl and various cultural references.
It's time for the Super Bowl (ya we're not calling it the big game. Come at us NFL!!!!), so we watched The Replacements. Break out your teleprompters, brush up on Hoard Zinn's history of labor relations, and if your hair isn't flowing in the wind like peak Keanu, you're not spending enough time in the Baltimore Harbor. Pain heals (not with today's medical system), chicks dig scars (they don't dig being called chicks, though), glory last forever (Bruce Springsteen has a differing opinion). Down, set, fun!!!!
