Are you ready for some FOOTBALL?
Today (Jan 8th) and tomorrow, are the College Football Playoff Semifinals (Go IU!!!) Then Sat-Sun-Mon kick off the NFL Playoffs with Wildcard Weekend.
Reel Poppycock has your pigskin dreams on lock, as we cover the 1986 football film "Wildcats." Starring Goldie Hawn as the new coach of the inner city Central High football team, "Wildcats" also features the first big screen appearances of both Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson.
This flick-pick from deep in the vault has been near and dear to Ed's heart for over 30 years, and he introduced "Wildcats" to both KC and Trevor for their first viewings. Would the pervasive presence of plenty of pure Poppycock persist in pulling all the proper nostalgia strings for Ed? You'll just have to listen to find out!
