Description
In this episode, we’re not white, we’re clear with the 1997 Michael Jordan/Bugs Bunny team up SPACE JAM.   After Shane and Pops differ in opinion on the Looney Tunes (2:44), we begin the case for keeping it on the pedestal with how the movie stayed true to the legend of Jordan (8:25). Mike stands up for Babs Bunny (14:23), we all praise everything that is Bill Murray (17:10), and discuss the degree of difficulty MJ had to act in a movie like this (25:07). Shane and Mike lock horns over Ray Allen’s performance in He Got Game (27:58) and we then move on to the case for knocking Space Jam off the pedestal with Pops taking issue with the portrayal of the toons (32:15). We examine the movie’s other NBA stars (36:49), the film’s inherent corporate cynicism (41:30), and why the actual basketball scenes didn’t work (42:32).
