172. Miracle

This week on episode #172 of The Harsh Language Podcast, we made Marvin watch Miracle for the first time to see if it still holds up as one of the great sports movies. It has all the pieces: the underdog team, the iconic speech, the Cold War backdrop, and the “do you believe in miracles?” moment. But we also get into the bigger question behind the movie: is Miracle genuinely great sports filmmaking, or is it also wrapped up in American mythmaking and propaganda?

We also talk about why recent AI news is exactly what we were worried about, whether Brand New Day could somehow become the best Spider-Man movie ever, and if the horror genre actually needed saving.
