IN THIS EPISODE…
For this adventure, we are tackling a subject which we have actually never done: FOOTBALL. It's hard to believe in the almost 200 episodes we've been fortunate to make, we've yet to actually do an episode covering this American tradition. Football is one of the most popular sports and we wanted to prepare you for Super Bowl 53 by discussing the 2006 film, Girdiron Gang. Our resident movie man, Dan Rockwood, joins us for this one. Thanks to Mill Creek Entertainment for making this episode possible. To pick up a copy of the movie, you can click here.

In an attempt to turn around the cycle, he aims to take this kids and turn them into a full-fledged football team. Gang chronicles the true story of how this group of troubled misfits actually ended up breaking down rivalries and crafted a family among these teens. It’s an incredible story that makes up the course of the film.
