Description
Today we are racing back to 2003 to the exciting world of horse racing and oceanic snacks with Seabiscuit as we wrap up animal sidekick (almost) month. Gary Ross wrote and directed this Hollywood epic about an unlikely champion racing horse and his team of mismatched handlers and how they captured America’s hearts and gave them hope…it was a long time ago before influencers. Anywho, this little bastard is fast, but the movie is not, as we have a deep and thorough look at the time and place through each of our hero’s stories. It made a bunch of money, was nominated for a pile of awards, and features goddamn Jeff Bridges, Chris Cooper, and a ginger Toby! But does it hold up? Listen in as Jon, Colin, and Brent discuss why size matters and how long is too long as we try to figure out if Seabiscuit is the champ or dog food.
