Early in the Big Screen Sports run (very early, like under the old name early) we took a run at Friday Night Lights, and it wasn't our best effort. Righting wrongs and paying due to the greatest HSFB movie of all time with guest Chris Van Vliet.
Chris and host Kyle Bandujo talk Derek Luke's standout performance as Boobie Miles, the incredible football action in the film, and how the movie conveyed the pressures of being a small town high school athlete.

"Fever Pitch" with Gabrielle Starr
During the 2004 MLB playoffs history was made; Jimmy Fallon and Drew Barrymore starred in a rom-com together for the first time. Gabrielle Starr (Founder of Girl at the Game, co-host of Locked On Red Sox) joins to discuss a movie that is really better than people give it credit for.
Gabrielle and host Kyle Bandujo talk to the Fallon-Barrymore chemistry, a cinematic look at a legendary baseball season, and talk about some of the worst friends in film history in the 2005 comedy "Fever Pitch."

"42" with Jeff Pearlman
"42" had lofty expectations to live up to: to be a biopic that lives up its subject matter. Casting Chadwick Boseman was a good start, but NYT best-selling author Jeff Pearlman and son Emmett return to Big Screen Sports to break down how "42" fared in honoring a legend. We talk Boseman, Harrison Ford in heavy prosthetics, and speculate on what a Spike Lee version of the Jackie Robinson story would look like.
Follow Jeff on Twitter @jeffpearlman and buy his latest book "Three-Ring Circus: Kobe, Shaq, Phil, and the Crazy Years of the Lakers Dynasty" wherever books are sold.
