#253 - Countdown: The Movie, Stats Game!!

The Duke Basketball season is upon us, so we get to an annual tradition on Episode 253 of the DBR Podcast! First, the gang opens up by reviewing “Countdown: The Movie,” which debuted over the weekend. We break down some of the parts we enjoyed the most, from JJ Redick as the master of ceremonies to Coach K’s swag, from the new Duke Basketball poster to their remake of Drake’s “Laugh Now, Cry Later” music video and the Duke Booth! We also touch on some of the members from The Brotherhood that make an appearance in the movie, including Frank Jackson's impressive shirt collection and our desire to acquire the shirt Tyus Stones was wearing! After the break, we get into the stats game, our annual tradition.
