Varsity Blues (1999)

from Uncultured Universe

"I don't want your life." Are y'all ready for some good ol' sports film talkin'? Then strap on your helmet and get out there, coach is countin' on you! We take a look at some influential, beloved (as well as heavily parodied) sports classic, starting with Justin's pick: "Varsity Blues" from 1999. The boys discuss the seemingly innocuous and innocent plot to dive deeper into the deeper and darker implications of this movie. The adults of the town? Has-beens and drunk who are stuck in the past. The coach? A sadistic sociopath who has probably killed before. And of course, these here good ol' boys just run rampant through the town of West Canaan with impunity. A lively discussion ensues. Come back later in August for Joe's sports pick, all about the Kevin Costner-driven classic: "Field of Dreams"! -- We are Uncultured Universe - the podcast where two friends show each other movies, tv, music, or anything else to get a little more cultured.
