Batch 7: For the Love of the Game

Biggs and Aaron look back at the batch For the Love of the Game. We look at Wimbledon, Jerry Maguire, and The Cutting Edge to explore marginalized women, aggrieved men, and the tropes and structures of rom coms. Watch that toe pick!

The Cutting Edge (1992)

Biggs and Aaron lace up the skates and head back to the 90’s to watch The Cutting Edge. We continue talking about sidelining women champions, love / hate romance, and daddy issues. If only Moira Kelly could be in charge!

Wimbledon (2004)

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!

Jerry Maguire (1996)

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?

Extra Innings: Nyad (2023)

The first episode of Extra Innings explores 2024 Oscar nominated Nyad. Biggs torches boomers taking too many last hurrahs, Aaron adores basic sound politics, and Diana Nyad blows EVERYONE’s mind.
