BEYOND THE RED ZONE: Skateboard Jousting and Gymkata: The Wild World of 80s Sports Movies

In this episode, Jason and Mac take a nostalgic dive into the outlandish world of 1980s sports movies. From the unforgettable "Gymkata," where gymnastics meets martial arts, to "American Anthem," the story of a gymnast from the wrong side of the tracks, the hosts break down the bizarre plots and memorable scenes that defined a generation. They also explore the legendary skateboarding movie "Thrashin'" featuring a young Josh Brolin, and discuss the iconic yet ridiculous skateboard jousting scene. Along the way, they touch on the cultural impact of these films and their place in sports history. Tune in for a rollercoaster of laughs, wild movie clips, and a deep dive into the sports films that could only come from the neon glow of the 80s.
