Episode 71 "The Beautiful Game" Review

This week Andrew and Ted watched Netflix's "The Beautiful Game", starring Bill Nighy (Mal) and Micheal Ward (Vinney). No ... these are not household names when it comes to acting but you will surely recognize Bill Nighy when you see him as for he is a working actor that has garnered both a Golden Globe as well as a British Academy Film Award as well as having been a nominee for an Academy Award, a Tony Award, and a Laurence Olivier Award. This isn't your typical modern movie, nope, this is a movie with a real life story and a moral. Mal (Bill Nighy) manages an English homeless soccer team. Vinny (Micheal Ward) is a homeless ex-professional soccer player. Together they take a group of homeless men, each with their own backstory to Rome to compete in the VERY REAL Homeless World Cup. While their goal is to win, they in fact discover who they really are and help, as team, to heal to make their individual lives better. Tune into "Streaming Without A Paddle" to find out if Andrew and Ted think this original film scores or is just a little bit wide of goal.
