Shat The Movies Fantasy Basketball champion Don Sauce chose a movie he'd never seen before as his prize: "White Men Can't Jump." And what he got was perhaps Woody Harrelson and Wesley Snipes at their best.
Like other Ron Shelton sports movies, this 1992 love letter to Los Angeles blends sex, psychology, and an underlying malaise to take the audience beyond the game and into life itself.
In this episode, the Shat Crew discusses the history of white basketballers, how to get on "Jeopardy!", Rosie Perez' sex appeal, the lush dialogue of '90s movies, why Comic-Con has gone downhill and how to ask for sex in Portuguese.

Vice Versa (1988)
Tom Hanks’ “Big” was the ‘80s film that started it all for “Shat The Movies,” a massive hit everyone saw growing up. But a few months before “Big” hit theaters, another child-to-man body transformation movie took a slightly different approach.
“Vice Versa” took an established Judge Reinhold and a brilliant young Fred Savage and shifted the focus to the adult trapped in a child’s body. Along the way, we also got a not-so-iconic music scene, some ‘80s Asian mysticism, very strong arguments for taking PTO, and a glimpse into a Gene Lyons’ day job.

The Grifters (1990)
"Tequila Sunrise" commissioner Rachel C. returns with another '90s movie full of sexy people doing confusing things. This week, it's "The Grifters," a 1990 neo-noir thriller that proves even John Cusack, Anjelica Huston, and Annette Bening have their off days.
This movie about con people and the con people who love them led to such classy topics as discount grandmas, boob fingerprints, nostalgia trolls, and the kinds of sexual favors landlords can reasonably expect from tenants attempting to seduce them.
"The Grifters," nominated for multiple Academy Awards, also brought us the most unlikely death in Shat history and possible the worst heist since "Safe Men," proving critics love anything that hearkens back to old timey movies.
