Big Screen Sports - The Sports Movie Podcast

"Celtic Pride" with Brandon Wenerd (BroBible, @bwenerd)

Much like the 2004 Lakers, on paper "Celtic Pride" had all the ingredients for a perfect comedic sports movie. Judd Apatow & Colin Quinn behind the scenes; Dan Aykroyd, Daniel Stern, and Damon Wayans as the lead rolls.  Sometimes things just don't work out as planned. BroBible's Brandon Wenerd returns to Big Screen Sports (following last year's episode on Varsity Blues) to dissect what went wrong with "Celtic Pride." He and Kyle will talk what makes a believable Boston sports fan, low stakes basketball action, and if the movie would've been improved by throwing the main characters in prison. They'll cover Best Scenes (there aren't many), what worked about the film (not much), and what didn't work (a ton).  Big Screen Sports is presented by BetOnline.ag.
