OMRM-March Madness 2020

March Madness Sports Movies – ep72

The real March Madness 2020 got cancelled, so the Old Millennials Remember Movies crew is pitting 32 sports (and sorta-sports) movies from the 80s, 90s and early 00s against each other! Tyler and Angela make their bracket picks and try to predict each other’s Final Four. We were both in for a few surprises.

The competition began with four brackets of eight films each.

Bracket #1 – Past episodes of OMRM

There’s a whole category of movies we’ve covered on the podcast. Titles include “The Mighty Ducks,” “Cool Runnings,” “Days of Thunder” and “Space Jam.”

Bracket #2 – White Balls

More than baseball movies. More than golf movies. It’s baseball and golf movies! “Bull Durham,” “Happy Gilmore,” “Major League” and “The Sandlot” are contenders here.

Bracket #3 – Smashy Smashy League

Where people smash together in the spirit of competition. “Karate Kid,” “Remember the Titans,” a clash of Jean Claude Van Damme titles in the first round and more!

Bracket #4 – Potpourri or “Pool Party” category

Angela doesn’t understand the title of this category. We got a little creative here in order to fill the bracket. These are random sports that don’t fit into the other categories. Find out what happens in the round one clash between “Air Bud” and “Seabiscuit.” How does the arm wrestling adventure “Over the Top” fit into all of this?
