Join Alex Grace and Dan Clark as they tumble into the spirited world of the 2006 gymnastics comedy, Stick It. This week, Alex introduces Dan to the film starring Missy Peregrym and Jeff Bridges, a quirky mix of teen angst, athletics, and mid-2000s pop punk vibes.
Dan, who had never seen the film before, shares his fresh and surprisingly entertained reactions to its humorous take on the world of competitive gymnastics. Listen in as they discuss Jeff Bridges' unexpected yet heartfelt performance, the film's formulaic yet engaging plot, and the amusingly dumb comic relief provided by characters like Frank and Poot.
Whether you're a fan of sports movies or just love a good underdog story with a punk rock twist, this episode is sure to amuse. And if you've never seen Stick It, you might just find yourself adding it to your watchlist!
