To get into the spirit of March Madness's long awaited return, Aaron White of Feelin' Film and Paul Keelan of Cinematic Underdogs have combined forces to release a special bonus episode that covers four 90's-era hoops classics: "Blue Chips" ('94), "Above the Rim" ('94), "He Got Game" ('98), and "Love and Basketball" (very early '00)!
From Nick Nolte's channeling of Bobby Knight-like anger management issues in "Blue Chips," to Tupac's wild on-set pot-smoking antics during the shooting of "Above the Rim," to Ray Allen's gutsy biblical-themed performance as the pointedly named Jesus Shuttlesworth in "He Got Game," to the iconic "double or nothing" match at the end of the oh so romantic "Love and Basketball," we unpack all sorts of splendors.
So fill out your brackets, heat up your nachos, and enjoy our quick-paced one-on-one rundown of this Final Four matchup of basketball-focused films—all four of which depict the tumultuous, temptation-laden recruitment tactics endured by elite collegiate-bound prospects.
