It's below zero in the studio as the ReconCinemation goes bobsledding! This week, the team unites to look back at the 1993 Olympic comedy, COOL RUNNINGS! Jon, David & Brent deep-dive into the long gestation of the script and the many directors on the project, finding an unknown cast, the importance of John Candy to the film and to a generation of audiences, the racist stereotypes that accompany this film and how it could have been handled differently. Plus, early memories of the film, how it's aged today and more!

One dream. Four bobsledders. Three podcasters... it's COOL RUNNINGS!
