Varsity Blues

Spray on your Whipped Cream Bikini and hunker down with your boyfriend's bestie, because we're about to watch a high school football classic. James Van Der Beek totally isn't Dawson from Dawson's Creek because he has different color hair. Ali Larter from Heroes doesn't have super powers because if she did, she'd probably use them to teleport herself out of this 1999 thing that happened. You can probably guess, we didn't love this one. But it did make us think of Letterkenny, so there's that. And Mike gets to educate Allyson on the unsolved mystery about what happened to Varsity Blues actor Joe Pichler.

It's Brian Robbins' film directing debut before Eddie Murphy hired him for all those cash grab comedies. It's written by the dude who wrote Point Break as well. So y'know, you're in for some ultra macho bromance. No homo...let's watch Varsity Blues!

If you want to let us know what you thought about Varsity Blues, or you have a sports movie you think we should watch, let us know.
