Fan Jan is hitting its stride here on @wedrinkandwewatchthings, and this week we are tackling one of the most requested feel-good sports dramas of all time: the 2000 Disney classic, Remember the Titans. It’s time to head back to 1971 Alexandria, Virginia, for a story about football, integration, and the kind of teamwork that can change a community. Pour yourself a Left Side, Strong Side cocktail by @crft.world - something refreshing for those grueling two-a-days - and get ready to feel all the emotions.
This week, we examine the towering, authoritative performance of Denzel Washington as Coach Herman Boone and the quiet, steadfast integrity of Will Patton’s Coach Yoast. We revisit the unforgettable bond between Julius Campbell and Gerry Bertier, which serves as the emotional heartbeat of the entire movie. We also take a moment to appreciate the legendary Gettysburg speech and consider how this film manages to be both a quintessential "Bruckheimer" production and a deeply sincere look at overcoming racial prejudice through a shared goal.
If you grew up chanting "Left side, strong side," or if you just need a reminder of how sports can bring out the best in us, this is the episode for you. We’re blending our nostalgia for this childhood staple with our usual casual banter, making this a truly inspirational addition to our fan-requested month. Attitude reflects leadership, Captain!
