It’s time to head back to the mid 90s to a time where hollywood executives wanted you to believe that it didn’t matter how big, strong and athletic you were. As long as you had a first-time coach who knows nothing about the sport and you utilize trick plays, you can and most certainly will beat the best team in the land.  We are of course talking about 1994’s Little Giants.•0:00:00 - Introductions•0:04:00 - Memories of first viewing•0:06:45 - Pertinent movie details •0:12:15 - Critical and fan reviews•0:22:00 - Scene by scene breakdown •1:31:00 - Modern day ratings——————————————————————SPONSORS:****EveryPlate- Join EveryPlate today and pay only $2.99 per meal, PLUS get50% off your first box, for all box sizes!

American Beauty came out in 1999 and clearly struck a chord with filmgoers. It became the talk of the nation and ended up winning 5 Oscars including best picture. 25 years later, do we all still feel the same way about it?  Are we still inspired by Ricky’s story about the plastic bag? Are we making mental notes about our own meaningless lives because of Lester’s commentary on suburbia and middle age? Or are we feeling slightly confused and wondering what we ever saw in this flick? Regardless, it’s still the 77th highest rated movie on IMDB, so it has to have something special going on, right?  •0:00:00 - Introductions•0:03:30 - Memories of first viewing•0:08:00 - Pertinent movie details •0:14:00- Critical and fan reviews•0:22:00 - Scene by scene breakdown •1:49:30 - Modern day ratings——————————————————————SPONSORS:****EveryPlate- Join EveryPlate today and pay only $2.99 per meal, PLUS get50% off your first box, for all box sizes!
