32: Glory Road

It's your unofficial Disney+ podcast, reviewing the most popular stuff on Disney+! Today on the show, we’re reviewing Glory Road, the 2006 film about Don Haskins and how he took his small Texas university basketball team's first-ever all African-American lineup to an epic showdown with #1 ranked Kentucky. Spoilers abound so make sure you've seen the movie (or just don't care about the movie being spoiled). We get into it all - Haskins, Rupp, Bobby Joe Hill, games against Iowa and Kentucky, the racist scenes and graphic language in the movie, what it was like in El Paso (and the nation) back in the 1960s and more. We cover how true (or not) the movie is to the actual events in history and also work in some conversation about what it's like to watch this movie in 2020 with the state of our country being what it is right now.
