Episode 5: Hashtag Because Futbol

The World Cup is in full swing, so this week we decided to take a look at perhaps the strangest collection of soccer films we could find. First we talk about the clash-of-cultures movie Bend It Like Beckham (2002) and then move on to one of the weirdest movies you could see in the Hong Kong comedy Shaolin Soccer (2001). We also discuss a little bit of The Big Green (1995) and some soccer things in general at the end. We apologize for devolving into the realm of sports. It just kinda happened.

And as always:

SPOILERS!
