Reel Roundtable #13 - Best Sports Films - a podcast by Movie Podcast

Another bonus episode as we bring you our latest Reel Roundtable discussion for your listening enjoyment.  Ellie, Georgia, Ian, and Liam are feeling sporting thanks to the Olympic games and turn our attention towards the best of Sports Movies. Comments and banter can be found in equal measure as we discuss:

• Our own sporting aptitudes, in both participatory and spectating capacities


• Which sports tend to lend themselves better to the silver screen


• The difference between comedies and biopics


• Why the sporting field of battle is a great storytelling device


• A very surprising formula that's repeated in two films released 3 decades apart (although set simultaneously)


• A truly bizarre casting choice for a sports film given the lead's country of birth


• We present the audience and BFE Top 10 lists for the best sports films ever

If you have any ideas about future actors/actresses or topics for future roundtables, we’d love to hear from you.  Hit us up at @BestFilmEverPod on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
