sports drama Archives - Feelin' Film

This week we are joined by Paul Keelan and Jordan Puga from the Cinematic Underdogs Podcast to discuss Ben Affleck’s story of how Nike got into the basketball business by way of an industry-changing partnership with Michael Jordan. We questions whether this can even be considered a sports movie, talk about the romanticizing of big business, and give Mrs. Jordan her flowers for the critical role she played, plus much much more.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar recently chose this 1973 film as the best baseball movie ever in a blog post, and with it being the opening of MLB season and ourselves big fans of the sport, we decided to watch this new-to-us picture and see for ourselves. While we can’t get onboard with Kareem’s lofty praise, there is an interesting story with a beautiful central relationship and plenty to discuss.
