82. "Victory" (1981)

Tonight we do the 1981 American sports movie "Victory" (also
called "Escape to Victory" in European markets). A powerhouse
cast of Sylvester Stallone, Michael Caine, Max von Sydow and Pele
take us through the story of Allied POWs who agree to stage a
soccer game against Germans. The idea quickly spirals out of
control, though, resulting in bigger stakes than they could've
imagined... asides include sports movies, Pele's recent death,
and the time I faked my way through coaching a season of youth
soccer.
