We Want The D has Olympic fever! (Not to be confused with the fever many of the athletes will come down with at the Rio Games.) To celebrate this historic athletic competition that supports good sportsmanship and fosters international relations, Vicky, Nolan and Jill are taking a look at Disney's COOL RUNNINGS. For some, a cult classic; for others, a problematic film that makes jokes out of serious competitors. Our hosts will have to reconcile their fond memories of this movie with the knowledge that Disney execs were constantly calling for watered down accents or that John Candy's worn features may not have been all make-up. Tempered though our reactions to this movie are in hindsight, its still an undeniably fun movie to watch, discuss, and try to guess Disney's dream cast before they decided they'd rather pay all the actors scale.
