“Champions: A Love Story” ~ A PCPS Watch & React

from Pop Culture Preservation Society · host Pop Culture Preservation Society

Carolyn sits down with Kristin and Michelle, in Kristin’s groovy Greg Brady attic, for the once-in-a-lifetime experience of sharing her number one all-time favorite made-for-TV movie. A movie that took hold of her so hard when she was 12 that she literally prayed to Jesus to help her stop thinking about it. That movie is “Champions: A Love Story” — a 1979 movie about two teens who fall in love as they train for a figure skating championship, starring Carolyn’s childhood crush, Jimmy McNichol. Kristin and Michelle must have had to go to bed early on that night in 1979 and missed “Champions” when it aired — so Carolyn is here to right that wrong. What follows is a recording of our in-the-moment, off-the-cuff, and completely unscripted conversation immediately following the movie. We’re inviting you behind the curtain, and into Kristin’s attic, as we discuss Jimmy McNichol’s perfect hair, the proximity to Ice Castles, and the surprise ending that NO ONE saw coming.Follow us on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and TikTokSupport the PCPS by becoming a patron on Patreon.
