Tin Cup

Fore, please. Now streaming. Episode 8: Tin Cup (1996). This week, we tee it up with one of the most beloved underdog stories in sports movie history.

BIG

WHIPLASH

In this new episode on Whiplash (2014), we’re talking flying cymbals, bleeding hands, psychological warfare, and that final performance that feels less like a concert and more like a duel. Is greatness worth the trauma? Is Fletcher a monster… or a necessary evil? And what does that last look really mean?

Best In Show

On this episode of The Great American Movie Podcast, Chance and Ryan dive into Best in Show, Christopher Guest’s hilariously dry mockumentary about the wonderfully unhinged world of competitive dog shows.

From anxious owners to scene-stealing pups, Chance and Ryan celebrate one of the sharpest ensemble comedies ever put to screen.
