"We will be PERFECT in every aspect of the game!" This week, we take on Remember the Titans (2000)—one of the most inspirational football movies of all time. But does it still hold up today? We break down the best scenes, character performances, trivia, and what has aged well (or not so well).
🎭 Denzel Washington shines as Coach Boone, leading an integrated team in 1971 Virginia. We discuss the film's historical accuracy, its cultural impact, and how Ryan Gosling, Donald Faison, and Wood Harris evolved after the movie. Plus, is nostalgia carrying its legacy, or is this truly a top-tier sports film?
