Slap Shot
In Part Two of our discussion of Slap Shot, we start with some excellent listener feedback on how to recast the film, and reveal which of our picks were the winners. Then, we move on to discussing what we’d change in a remake of the film (lots of insensitive dialogue, some meandering plotting) and what we’d largely leave the same in a remake (the violence, the energy, and the filmmaking style of the hockey scenes).
