Most sports movies dealing with the fall of an athlete focus on something self-inflicted: drugs, poor work ethic, etc. "Everybody's All-American" takes a look at the cruelest cause of downfall for an athlete of all: age. Dennis Quaid, Jessica Lange, and John Goodman star in a movie that's currently streaming on HBO Max.
NYT best-selling author Jeff Pearlman returns to Big Screen Sports to discuss watching an athlete decline on-screen, a very uncomfortable relationship between a wife and her husband's cousin, and a surprisingly bad John Goodman performance.
Check out Jeff's weekly podcast Two Writers Slinging Yang every Tuesday, and pre-order his new book "Three Ring Circus" on the Shaq-Kobe-Phil Lakers, dropping 9/22/20.
