    On '3 Ninjas', oddly good basketball & compulsive child gambling with Kenny DeForest

    If you were around in the 90s, there's a good chance you were obsessed with ninjas (it was a thing). But in '3 Ninjas' they were also basketball stars (and potentially compulsive gamblers) who just didn't know when to quit. Los Angeles comedian Kenny DeForest (@KennyDeForest) joins Running it Back hosts Jeff Nowak (@Jeff_Nowak) and Yourgo Artsitas (@Yourgeaux) to dive in the scouting report behind a 12-year-old's 82-inch vertical leap, would Rocky's attitude drop him off the draft boards? Are they Martial Arts Henderson's? Are they a bit too Home Alone violent for a Disney movie? Tell us what you think! NEXT UP: The Royal Tenenbaums

    On 'Cool Runnings': Just how occasionally true is this Jamaican bobsled story?

    In this week's episode we look at a movie that stretches the limit of the words "based on a true story" as we look at Disney's 1993 bobsled hit, 'Cool Runnings.' Special guests Jill Jaracz and Alison Brown, hosts of Olympics podcast 'Keep the Flame Alive,' join Jeff Nowak and Yourgo Artsitas to separate occasional fact from fiction. Next up: '3 Ninjas'

    ‘Semi-Pro’: Can bad Will Ferrell still make good basketball? How about music?

    We're back with 'Semi-Pro' this week, the Will Ferrell-Woody Harrellson comedy about the ABA's Flint Tropics. It's an all-time sports movie heat check that raises a lot more questions than it answers. One of those questions: Is Jackie Moon actually good at basketball? Running it Back hosts Jeff Nowak and Yourgo Artsitas debate that (he is, btw) and more -- plus a lightning round of "was that really a team's name?" Next week: Cool Runnings

    ‘Space Jam' with Sean Patton: A story of kidnapping, aliens, & angry Larry Bird

    Michael Jordan and the Loony Tunes get the credit, but Bill Murray is the true hero of 'Space Jam' ... which means Larry Bird is the true villain. Comedian Sean Patton joins 'Running it Back' hosts Jeff Nowak and Yourgo Artsitas to go over some millennial movie (advertising?) magic and a lot more in this week's episode. *Disclaimer: Sometimes Sean says things that are not true. Next week: 'Semi Pro'

    Is 'Forrest Gump' a sports movie? Yes ... about the best athlete of all time

    What better way to kick off a sports movie podcast than a movie that isn't technically about sports?  Welcome to Running it Back! In this week's episode we're talking about (sports) Forrest Gump, a film about a man we'd *correctly* argue to be the best three-sport athlete of all time (that's four if you count his pro wrestling career). Hosts Jeff Nowak and Yourgo Artsitas dive into the film about the former Alabama football All-American who really wasn't that good at football, then instant ping pong phenom, then casual ultra-ultra-ultra marathoner. He also likes chocolate, but apparently throws away the handy map under the lid.  Enjoy! Remember to rate, review and subscribe -- and let us know your suggestions on movies to hit going forward! Next week: Space Jam (gotta do it) with comedian Sean Patton
