Description


In this episode of Lunchtime Movie Critics, we lace up our skates and take a deep dive into Miracle (2004), the film that turns Cold War tensions into the most rousing sports montage of all time. Starring Kurt Russell’s aggressively Minnesotan accent as Coach Herb Brooks, this Disney-fied underdog story tells the true tale of the 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team—the scrappy college kids who took down the invincible Soviet Union and made Al Michaels’ voice immortal.


Join us as we dissect Russell’s grizzled motivational speeches, debate whether hockey hair peaked in the ‘80s, and revel in the fist-pumping glory of one of the greatest sports movie climaxes ever filmed. Is Miracle the ultimate underdog story, or just another by-the-numbers sports flick with an overuse of slow-motion? Find out as we slapshot our way through this one—do you believe in podcasts?!
