Space Jam (1996)
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.
