It’s time for another classic OPENING CEREMONY REVIEW, and this week we’re heading back to the last time the USA hosted a Summer Olympics, the 1996 Atlanta Games. Why does the ceremony feel more dated than it should? Why are we all-in on James Bond-style singers at these events? Does Celine Dion just live at the Olympics? Why is the star of this Opening Ceremony not actually Muhammad Ali? What do we think of ramps? And did this feel more like a 1990s Super Bowl halftime show than an Olympic opener? Plus, we break down one of the most emotional and iconic torch lightings in Olympic history. It’s another epic review you won’t want to miss!
