Where did all the sports movies go?

from Phantom Island

What do A League of Their Own, White Men Can't Jump, The Mighty Ducks, Ladybugs, and The Cutting Edge all have in common besides being sports movies? They were all released in 1992, and most of them did pretty well at the box office. (Sorry, Ladybugs.) To determine what happened to a genre that once enjoyed so much success, Steven Godfrey talks to critic and USA Today writer Cory Woodroof about changes in the film industry and the audience experience, and where sports movies still have a shot. Phantom Island is presented by Homefield and produced by Michael Surber.
