WWTD 052 - Remember the Titans: Watch Friday Night Lights

Don't get it twisted, D Lovers. The above subtitle and multiple in-episode endorsements to watch the brilliant television series Friday Night Lights shouldn't be taken as a recommendation to watch the show instead of Disney's Remember the Titans. It's just hard to talk about any piece of football-related entertainment without whole-heartedly recommending the adventures of Coach Taylor and the town of Dillon. But don't worry, Vicky, Nolan and Jill are able to keep mostly on-topic and have a blast praising the emotionally manipulative excellence of this film, from the hit-packed soundtrack to the star-studded cast. This movie hits all the right notes at the exact right times, and sure, we know it's a little hokey and cheesy, but we don't mind when we're watching Denzel tearing into high school students like a Marine Drill Sergeant, or the budding friendship between Avon Barksdale from The Wire and Opie from Sons of Anarchy, or Ryan Gosling dancing to The Beatles' "Act Naturally." This is We Want The D's first venture into the world of Disney sports movies, and we gotta say, this one is all touchdowns and trick plays.
