Get ready for another fun episode of Slept-On Cinema!

• Rotten Reviews (Start) — [00:00 - 02:49 ] 🎬 We kick off the episode with the hilariously low Rotten Tomatoes scores and critical disdain for Celtic Pride. Find out why we think this film is much better than the numbers suggest and why it’s still a blast to watch!
• BOLO (Be On the Lookout) — [17:13 - 17:58 ] 👀 Keep an eye out for some memorable 90s sports tropes and cameos! Highlights include slow-motion sports footage, Dan Aykroyd's quirky wardrobe choices, and classic trash talk from the era.
• What Drink to Pair with the Movie — [17:58 - 21:30 ] 🍸 It’s all about oversized drinks! Whether you’re watching the Celtics live or Celtic Pride at home, we suggest pairing this movie with a huge can of Sam Adams Hazy, or our personal favorite—a green Gimlet for that Boston pride!
• The Draft (Favorite Movie Moments) — [23:36 - 25:46 ] 🏀 We pick our favorite moments from the film. Highlights include Damon Wayans’ basketball scenes, Daniel Stern’s hilarious facial expressions, and key moments that made this movie surprisingly fun to revisit.

• Spinoff Ideas — [58:08 - 1:00:00 ] 🎬 We brainstorm potential spinoff or sequel ideas, including a hilarious scenario where the main characters’ kids become Lakers fans, igniting a new Celtics vs. Lakers rivalry in their household.
