Episode 18 - Clear Eyes, Full Hearts, Can't Lose.
Everything on the line, one moment to change it all. It ain't sports without that speech, that final shot or that celebration. That journey from rags to riches. The team that changed it all. In this episode, Rod & Raf go for a home run with a friend of the pod and Toronto radio personality, Andrew Osmond. The Sports Genre is an essential piece of Western culture; the drama, the redemption, the journey. What makes the genre as successful as it is? Is it the Americana? Or the dramatization of an underdog championship run? We throw our hail Mary's in search for that go-ahead bucket. Also, we chat about a new kind of magical competition, a potential rewrite of a beloved series and our hope(s) for a new challenger in the Kaiju world.
