A few days late, but here at last is the 17th edition of Scoring At The Movies! As the Super Bowl approaches, it’s the right time for a gab about one of the most-famous football flicks of ’em all: The Longest Yard.
We show much love for Burt Reynolds, who was just starting a run of dominance at the box office…and in fan’s cockles. We talked a lot about the Adam Sandler almost-good remake and also about how Burt's original version just isn’t very funny. Robert Aldrich’s flick has some real tonal problems. It deals with some serious issues like racism and prison brutality, then doles out some dated and often offensive “jokes”. This bag is mixed. But as Mo from The Simpsons might say, it’s not without its charm. Get to listenin’!
