Total Movie RecallTMR 055 – Any Given Sunday This week on Total Movie Recall, the pressures of competing at a professional level with all the concussions, cocaine, infidelities, and painkillers almost make Steve request to be traded during the free agency period after he and Ryan bicker about Oliver Stone’s divisive 1999 film, Any Given Sunday.

This is also one of the greatest movies of all time, just to be clear about it. Children of Men (2006) d. Alfonso Cuarón S...2020-12-071h 50
