Ep. 76 - Necessary Roughness

If you're in the mood for a genial, laid-back podcast about a genial, laid-back movie, our talk about Necessary Roughness is going to feel as welcoming as Southern hospitality.   This football comedy isn't hilarious, but its mediocrity doesn't overwhelm its sweetness. It's also hard to hate an underdog movie that's as watchable as this one certainly is. "Old man" Scott Bakula plays the heartthrob quarterback of a Texas university team that's been ruined by scandal and now has to make do with a roster of nincompoops. Led by Hector Elizondo's straight arrow head coach and Robert Loggia's very passionate assistant coach, can these plucky dopes (and 1 lady placekicker) win even one game? It's a modest goal, but we like modest goals sometimes. And we like Manu.   Our Twitter @s are @moviefiend51 and @scoringatmovies
