Big Screen Sports - The Sports Movie Podcast

"42" with Jeff Pearlman

"42" had lofty expectations to live up to: to be a biopic that lives up its subject matter. Casting Chadwick Boseman was a good start, but NYT best-selling author Jeff Pearlman and son Emmett return to Big Screen Sports to break down how "42" fared in honoring a legend. We talk Boseman, Harrison Ford in heavy prosthetics, and speculate on what a Spike Lee version of the Jackie Robinson story would look like.  Follow Jeff on Twitter @jeffpearlman and buy his latest book "Three-Ring Circus: Kobe, Shaq, Phil, and the Crazy Years of the Lakers Dynasty" wherever books are sold.  Big Screen Sports covers your favorite (and least favorite) sports movies every Monday.. Get updates on the movies on the schedule by following Big Screen Sports on Twitter @Big_ScreenSport or joining the Big Screen Sports Facebook Group.  Big Screen Sports is presented by Blue Wire Podcasts.
