Two podcasters in the booth functioning as one! Jon and David kick off their celebration of the legendary Gene Hackman with the first entry of ReconCinemation's HACK-A-THON 2020: 1986's HOOSIERS! The boyz discuss early memories of the film, Gene's perfect portrayal of Coach Norman Dale, his difficulties with director David Anspaugh, and the supporting cast including Dennis Hopper and Barabra Hershey. Plus, Gene's career leading up to this film, sports movies and small-town athletics in the cultural zeitgeist, and a gentle reminder to check out the 80s Top Cop Tournament on our Twitter/Instagram!
Welcome to Indiana basketball. It's HOOSIERS!!!
