Join them for a deep dive into some of the movies we all hold near dear to our hearts — and debate whether or not they really belong there.

In this episode, we cross you to the left and take you back to the right with the 1998 Spike Lee joint HE GOT GAME.
After both Shane and Mike disclose the legitimate cameos they have in two other massive basketball movies (8:04), we begin the case for keeping it on the pedestal with Shane’s big reveal of what he now thinks of Ray Allen’s performance (11:54). We get into Spike Lee’s unique style as a director (25:13), why the story may be more sci-fi than sports (31:04), and discuss the legendary one on one game between Allen and Denzel (37:52). We move on to the case for knocking it off the pedestal with the bewildering hooker subplot (53:21), how many of the secondary characters constantly drag the movie down (58:23), and Pops has a major beef with the orchestral music choices (1:04:48).
