Scoring At The Movies’ 27th episode has us gabbing about our first documentary, Murderball, as we watch jocks in wheelchairs play quad(riplegic) rugby.
This is one of Ryan’s favourite documentaries, but Chris had mixed feelings and was troubled by the (very) politically incorrect choice of words used by the movie's alpha males.
Disabled or not, these athletes are shown to be real people with some serious character flaws, and those flaws only make them more interesting. It’s a big bonus that the ongoing USA v Canada drama is as exciting as you’ll find in any fictional sports flick. Bitter rivals Joe Soares and charisma machine Mark Zupan get the majority of screen time, but all of the half-dozen main characters are fascinating to watch. Scrum it up and listen in!
We do tweet once in a while: @moviefiend51 and @scoringatmovies
