Space Jam (1996) - a podcast by The Back Row Network

To close out Space Month, the boys watched the film where Bugs Bunny is held at gunpoint and threatened to be enslaved, so he kidnaps a retired Michael Jordan and forces him into playing basketball vs a bunch of violent monsters in Space Jam!

 

This movie had some odd casting choices, so Max lists the 7 players in the 1995-1996 NBA that would have been better than Shawn Bradly and Muggsy Bogues, and two very odd choices: dull and monotone Larry Bird alongside Bill Murray and having the guy who voices Homer Simpson in a live action cartoon movie without actually doing any voice work. 

 

Also, the boys discuss the fetishization of Lola Bunny and how this movie sparked a generation of furries, MJ’s modest suburban home being a total sham, and the irony of how this movie is centered around gambling.
