Biggs and Aaron continue their batch on For the Love of the Game exploring internal monologue, sidelining women champions, and gender / genre trouble in sports films. If you want a movie with high stakes - this isn’t your film. If you want a quotable movie - this isn’t your film either. But it IS a movie about tennis, and tennis is cool!

Biggs and Aaron kick off Batch 7 with one of the most quoted movies in cinema: Jerry Maguire. “Show me the money.” “You had me at hello.” and “The human head weighs eight pounds.” It’s a train wreck of male exceptionalism and yet another example to talk about chronic traumatic encephalopathy apologetic. If that’s not enough, there is a TON of product placement - what’s not to love?

Biggs and Aaron cap the batch on Hustin’ with a look back at The Hustler (1961), Over the Top (1987), and Rounders (1998). We explore the persona of the rogue, Sly Stallone’s alternative as rule follower, and the stakes of hustling which include not only your cash but also any hope you may have for love. You either spot the sucker or you are the sucker, and it is arguably criminal to NOT take the sucker.

This week Biggs and Aaron stack up their chips and settle down with America’s REAL past time - POKER. We watch 1998’s Rounders and talk Casino Capitalism, the Poker Mindset and how those ideals differ from those found in games like whist. Hold ‘em or fold ‘em, either way you are ALL IN.

This week we abandon our boy, jump in a truck, arm wrestle across the United States, reconnect with the boy, drive through the gate of our father in law, and compete with Sly in the Cannon Pictures classic(?)

Biggs and Aaron start the second batch of season two following “Fast Eddie” Felson in The Hustler. There’s a little bit about what makes noir, a little bit about what makes a hustler, and a lot of dough up for grabs. The only thing cooler than the saxophone is Paul Newman (two words: SMOKE SHOW), so stop what you are doing and get in on the action.
