I’m going to be honest. I have only ever seen one Michael Mann movie. I have watched parts of Ali on AMC, but that doesn’t really count. I’ve seen the movie I am talking about today twice though.

Before this week I had never seen a Studio Ghibli film. I know, I know! It’s been a huge blind spot for me for so long.

As we close out sports comedy week, there’s no way we couldn’t do this week without discussing the great Adam Sandler.
