Welcome to America's least necessary film criticism podcast. Each week, a guest will join hosts Noah Frank and Will Vitka to discuss a film that is at least 10 years old, that at least one of us hasn't seen in that period of time, and that, hopefully, at least one of us hasn't seen at all. No classics, no bombs. This is about revisiting regular movies that we think we liked when we first saw them, to see how both we and the culture around the film have changed in the intervening years. In contrast to the constant, life-or-death anxiety of the last few years, to the unyielding firehose of news, this podcast aims only to answer a single question with the lowest stakes imaginable: Do you still like this movie?

First off, a hearty thanks to this week’s guest Anagha Srikanth, who rejoined us for a second recording of this episode. Thankfully, the audio quality should be much cleaner moving forward (at least starting in a few episodes).
If you haven’t seen it, this is a sports movie based on a true story from the South in the 1960s that manages to be neither about sports, nor race. Let that sink in for a minute.
I mention the film about my own high school, which came out in 2014. You can read more about that story in an interview I did with the coach upon which the film was based.
As always, feel free to hop in the conversation using the hashtag #ITILTM on Twitter.
