Part 4 of The Summer of Sports - Quarterback Princess
The Rare Cuts Media Society wraps up its Summer of Sports with Mike’s Pick Quarterback Princess, the 1983 made-for-TV drama based on Tammy Maida’s real-life experience playing high school football in Oregon. The panel examines the town’s resistance to a female quarterback, the film’s surprisingly timely questions about inclusion, and the way winning games slowly changes public opinion at
They also take aim at the film’s awkward love story, its suspiciously convenient school-board meeting, its low-budget production, and its remarkable early-career cast, including Helen Hunt and Tim Robbins. And of course they figure out where would Willem Dafoe go?

H-E-Double Hockey Sticks (1999)
Part 3 of The Summer of Sports - H-E-Double Hockey Sticks
On this episode, Andrew, Rob, and Mike had to watch Eric’s Pick for Hockey the 1999 Disney made-for-TV movie, "H-E-Double Hockey Sticks."
We’ll dig into everything from forgotten Disney cross-promotion, nostalgia for the era of Sunday night family movies, and the quirky, dated tropes baked into this rare hockey flick. Expect spirited debate on the movie’s use of real and fictional hockey teams, its place in the grand tradition of “sell your soul to the devil” stories, and where it lands in the pantheon of made-for-TV movies. The crew also reflects on performances by stars like Wil Friedle, Matthew Lawrence, Rhea Perlman, and Gabrielle Union, and imagines what would happen if Willem Dafoe was let loose in the world of Disney Channel.
So pop some popcorn, cue up your childhood memories, and get ready for a deep cut of 90s weirdness with H-E-Double Hockey Sticks!

Endless Summer (1966)
Part 2 of The Summer of Sports - Endless Summer (1966)
In this episode, Rare Cuts Media Society rides the wave of our summer-long arc focused on sports movies—continue with Rob’s Pick: the iconic 1966 Surf documentary Endless Summer
Join us as we discuss what makes this film a unique entry in the world of sports documentaries—whether it’s truly informative or just a glorified highlight reel, the peculiar narration style of Bruce Brown, the unforgettable surf rock soundtrack by The Sandals, and its surprisingly significant influence on pop culture. We’ll weigh in on its successes, its shortcomings, and how its glossy sun-soaked scenes capture the vibe of a 1960s endless summer. Is it a time capsule of surf culture or simply a string of beautiful waves and dry, sometimes questionable, wit? Wax up your board and hang ten with us as we explore this hidden media gem in our summer of sports arc.
