The Longest Yard ('74/'05) - A Copy of A Copy Ep. 209

It’s gametime here on A COPY OF A COPY because Ray and Rob are celebrating the week 1 kickoff of the NFL by revisiting the Burt Reynolds (SMOKEY AND THE BANDIT, CANNONBALL RUN) football classic, THE LONGEST YARD, as well as the 2005 remake starring Adam Sandler (HAPPY GILMORE, UNCUT GEMS)! Both films center on Paul Krewe, a former NFL all-star who has fallen on hard times and finds himself behind bars. When the warden strong arms Paul into putting together a team of cons to take on his minor league football team made up of the guards, the game takes on a power dynamic that could not only affect the culture of the prison itself, but Paul’s own freedom. Rob has never actually watched the original, while Ray is a big fan of it. They both remember watching the remake during Rob’s Blockbuster Video days but neither were much of a fan. Perhaps a rewatch is just what he needs to find some redeeming quality! So, grab your foam fingers, your hot dogs, head down to the stadium and join Ray and Rob as they celebrate the sport of football and see how these two sports movies stack up!
