    Episode 31: Mean Machine

    With Mean Machine's twenty-year anniversary quickly approaching, we thought it was finally time to review this Vinnie Jones vehicle and see if it holds up to today's standards or if it should go straight to movie jail. We're joined by friend of the show and soccer exec Chris Keem to discuss his favourite footy film! Thrown in jail after assaulting two police officers, former England captain Danny ‘Mean Machine’ Meehan must lead a team of prisoners in a match against the guards if he wishes to stay on good terms with a scheming governor. ----more---- Show Notes (0:00:00) Start (0:08:24) Kit Talk (0:11:51) Introducing Mean Machine (0:36:30) Footy Flicks (0:58:54) Recasting another remake (1:01:10) Trending at the Time (1:04:39) Matchday Matinee Table Follow us on Twitter and Instagram @MatchdayMatinee!
