In a world…where some people are meant for greatness while others just want a shot…one team of misfit lacrosse players will have to bond and learn to work together to win the game, go the championship, and save their coach and team.

 

This episode features the improv games 90 Second A to Z, Old Job New Job, World’s Worst, He Said She Said, and Cutting Room.

About This Episode

In this episode, we pay homage to those very entertaining misfit sports movies, like The Replacements, Necessary Roughness, and many, many more. Mike and Avish are actually big fans of Necessary Roughness and have quoted that movie many times over the years, so this episode features a lot of that Scott Bakula classic in it. You can also learn just how little about lacrosse Avish knows…

Avish Parashar: All right now we're going to spend about 10 minutes talking about the genre well they're talking about the tropes but also can talk about our experience and kind of what we think about these genres.

Avish Parashar: And kind of pull out the tropes that we will use in the discussion so I don't have my duck time I have a different time are here today Oh, but I will set it so 10 minute timer starts now.

Avish Parashar: kind of well, I know what my memory is, but what are, like some of the movies, or what are your memories of experiencing this genre.

Michael Worth: Well it's funny because, although we are doing football, the first one that comes to mind is major league because that one kind of was the the rebooting of all those other movies came out afterwards, if necessary, roughness and and.

Avish Parashar: on any given Sunday, I think this is a ravenous might have been before but around similar maybe that's the reference later, you might be right yeah.

Michael Worth: First of all, what you love, is what I love about it is this.

Michael Worth: The coach is always really likable like like he's you know he's not like a tough coach that has to like learn to grow as a person he's already a good guy and so he's trying to just kind of work among this whole real unfair thing you know, like.

Michael Worth: Is it could it's cushioning Janeiro and major.

Avish Parashar: In necessary roughness and so Robin is.

yeah.

Michael Worth: There is, I don't want to put any pressure idea but coach scenarios last words were when our i'll die.

Michael Worth: Robert lotion event so good, so the coach is always like a good guy like he may have butt heads with with this with this, you know.

Avish Parashar: he's like a mentor he's not the coaches like he's like a main character, but he's he rarely goes through, like a character transformation right.

Michael Worth: he's the mentor Arc type he's the obi wan.

Michael Worth: yeah and so, and you know.

Avish Parashar: Gene hackman is like the.

Michael Worth: replacements you've got the guy was like I don't know I gotta set a white walls, on the other.

Michael Worth: Guy was from major league.

Michael Worth: And then of course you've got whoever plays coach Janeiro is really plays pretty well he plays the.

Michael Worth: drums on oh yeah yeah um so it's pretty easy one of the great things is part of the fun of this these kind of shows is there's a significant chunk of time of them ferreting out these players to stock their team.

Michael Worth: leading them to the most bonkers situations, you know, like Kathy Ireland is like a girls soccer team they're like okay we're gonna you know get that or I think they have.

Michael Worth: The Welsh smoker and he's like a soccer player.

Avish Parashar: ifans yeah.

Avish Parashar: Oh yeah.

Avish Parashar: that's it's all misfits because you know these movies.

Avish Parashar: And I think that's the when I when I publish this episode and i'm going to describe it as like a sports mitts misfits movie.

Avish Parashar: Because that's really what these are and yeah you, because obviously the premise is that, like we don't have a budget or reputation to get real players, so we got to like just pull these like castoffs and other sports yeah the female kicker the the the Irish like smoker kicker.

Michael Worth: yeah we usually get like you said linebackers are like ex cons right there like coming out of prison for all like.

Avish Parashar: Just oh yeah yeah yeah the COP and the con.
