| We would 100% rather watch a "30 for 30" on the making of Teen Wolf |
Get ready sports fans! On this episode, we're reviewing Teen Wolf... a movie about a terrible high school basketball team making a run for the state finals after their point guard turns into a werewolf. It's low budget, poorly written, borderline illogical, and has just enough sex and homophobic slurs to make this very uncomfortable for a parent and child to watch together.
Despite all of this film's shortcoming's, the part that offends me the most is the basketball. Usually a film would bring on an "advisor" of some sort, and do a boot camp for the actors to practice their basketball skills. This film did none of that. They cast Michael J. Fox for his charm and star power... and this guy clearly has never touched a basketball before filming. Watch him shoot free throws with two hands like a 4th grader! Watch him dribble chest high! Watch him travel, double dribble, and turn almost every play into a jump ball.

Director Rod Danial said that the basketball scenes were all highly choreographed, but the actors asked to try playing more naturally for a few takes. Supposedly what ensued was over an hours worth of the worst basketball known to man... and apparently the footage of this is locked in a vault somewhere. This...THIS is the footage we actually want to see.
Somebody get ESPN on the phone. We want want a "30 for 30" full of outtakes of Michael J. Fox and his costars failing to string their passes together, chucking up airballs and bricks, and probably getting hit in the head with the ball a few times. That would be comedy gold. Who can make this happen?
