MEDIA APPEARANCE: Guest on the "Cinematic Underdogs" podcast talking "American Underdog"

This past month, I was invited back as a guest to the Cinematic Underdogs podcast hosted by Paul Keelan and Jordan Puga. This was my third spin on their show which specializes in covering sports movies. I previously dug in with them last year to talk about Slap Shot and Moneyball. We’ve been enjoying each others’ company on social media and through connected fellow creators ever since. This time, we have a movie very fitting of the podcast’s name. The three of us discussed American Underdog, the under-seen and under-loved Kurt Warner biopic from this past Christmas.

MOVIE REVIEW: Deep Water

The cold hearts, jealous places, and mental battles of Deep Water slip into near despondency without a resonating grip. When it’s all said and done, the movie is not violent enough for HBO, not sexy enough for old school Cinemax, not polished enough for a major studio release, and not shocking enough for Netflix’s water cooler buzz desire to ensure a subscriber spike. That’s an embarrassing end result of mediocrity.

MOVIE REVIEW: The Adam Project

In other movies of this type, the whizzy sci-fi often becomes the place where all money, effort, and speed was spent, shortchanging any balance of patience to highlight characters or create tangible emotions. Going back to the likes of Real Steel, Date Night, the Night at the Museum series, and Free Guy on his resume, Shawn Levy has established a proven forte at producing shining and human sources of wonder next to the dashing delights. He’s made another crowd-pleasing and heart-filling winner here with The Adam Project.
