The Bad News Bears Retrospective / Will McKinley

An episode that began as an aside to the Rocky episodes grew into
a lengthy conversation about how The Bad News Bears demands
relevancy in 2018, which grew into an even longer conversation
about the Bad News Bears sequels, pre-ordained judgment of said
sequels, and the mistreatment of classic cinema in a modern era
that prefers to scrub clean the unfortunate realities of prior
generations.
