Episode 88: The Sports Movie Showcase X -- HIM (2025)
from Adam Cheek's Sports Week · host Adam Cheek
Alex Soderstrom is back on the podcast to kick off October as we give our thoughts after seeing the football horror movie HIM, released in mid-September 2025 and starring Tyriq Withers, Marlon Wayans and Julia Fox (and produced by Jordan Peele, as if the movie's ad blitz didn't make that clear).Minor spoilers as we talk about a movie that tries to tackle (ha) a lot of things -- football's place in the American lexicon, the violence of the sport, toxic masculinity, exploitation, religious iconography, CTE, the price of fame and more -- and how much (if at all) it succeeds in doing that.-------------------------Original intro/outro music created by Christina von Claparede-Crola and Justin Paciocco
