'The Replacements' [2000] - Wackoe, CE Garcia & Gabe "The Calilobo."

Just in time for Super Bowl Sunday, '90mins On Film' takes the field with "The Replacements," a sports comedy that fumbled its way into theaters as Keanu Reeves’ follow-up to "The Matrix." Loosely inspired by the 1987 NFL players' strike, the film follows a ragtag team of misfits led by Keanu Reeves and Gene Hackman, but despite its underdog spirit, it never quite finds the end zone. In this episode, we break down the film’s hits and misses, its place in Reeves’ career, and why it remains a curious entry in the world of football movies.Make a film recommendation for an upcoming episode!Thank you for listening!
