Chris Nashawaty and the State of Tennis Movies
On this episode, host Jon Wertheim talks with Chris Nashawaty, a movie critic for Entertainment Weekly and author of the new book, Caddyshack: The Making of a Hollywood Cinderella Story, about the state of tennis movies. Wertheim and Nashawaty discuss some of the recent tennis films, such as Battle of the Sexes, and the upcoming Borg vs. McEnroe movie featuring Shia LaBeouf that releases on April 13. Nashawaty explains his initial thoughts and review of the movie, which tells the story of the epic rivalry between Swedish tennis legend Björn Borg and brash American John McEnroe (played by LaBeouf) during Wimbledon in 1980, and more.
