This week we’re throwing it back to the ’90s with a review of Slam Dunk Ernest (1995)! Ernest P. Worrell goes from janitor to city league baller as part of the Clean Sweep, and chaos obviously follows. We talk Jim Varney’s performance, the sports movie tropes, the slapstick, and where this one lands in the Ernest franchise. Is it a nostalgic slam dunk… or a total airball? 🤔 #SlamDunkErnest #JimVarney #ErnestPWhorrell #MoviePodcast #90sMovies #RetroMovies #SportsMovies #NewEpisode Follow...
