In this episode of Sports Will Save Us All, Sasha and Steve fire up the time machine and head back to 1999 to tackle the sweaty, emotionally confused, and gloriously over-the-top football flick Varsity Blues.
With whipped cream bikinis, emotionally repressed quarterbacks, and a coach who should probably be in prison, Varsity Blues is the teen sports drama we didn't know we needed—until now. Sasha and Steve break down the film's iconic moments, cringe-worthy life lessons, and the kind of small-town football fever that makes grown men cry into their Bud Light.
They dig into the real MVP of the movie—sex-ed teacher turned stripper Miss Davis—and examine what the film got right (team spirit! teen angst!) and what it got hilariously, awkwardly wrong. Expect sharp takes on toxic authority figures, generational drama, and the enduring power of a good pep rally.
Is it a cinematic touchdown or just a fumble wrapped in nostalgia? Tune in to find out, and bring your varsity jacket.
