River Donaghey grew up in a cult. Or at least that’s what some people called it. His parents called it a “personal-growth seminar group.” Its leader called it “one big happy family.” But there was a dark side to the world River grew up in. One he never heard about as a kid. In the 1970s and 80s, a self-help company called Lifespring took America by storm. Hundreds of thousands of people walked out of Lifespring as true believers, convinced that the seminars had the power to change the world. ...

Ever wondered what really goes on behind the scenes in high school football? Join us as we break down the 1988 classic, "Johnny Be Good," and explore the chaotic world of football stars and their coaches. This week, Dave, Matt, and Zap bring you an entertaining and nostalgic look at the film that catapulted Anthony Michael Hall, Robert Downey Jr., and Uma Thurman into the spotlight. With a budget of $4 million and a box office triumph of $18.3 million, you’ll learn about the film's production details, memorable scenes, and its impact on football fans.
From snacking players to intense, unforgettable coach speeches, our discussion authentically captures the hilarious and sometimes bizarre culture of high school football. We share personal anecdotes and humorous insights that compare the fictional portrayals to real-life sports environments, making this episode a must-listen for sports enthusiasts and 80s movie buffs alike. The eccentricities of high school sports, including home field state championships, bring an authentic and comedic layer to our review.
As we reflect on Johnny Walker’s moral dilemmas, his rebellious relationship, and the exploitation of young athletes, we also dive into the evolution of college sports recruitment. The game has changed with NIL deals revolutionizing college athletes' financial opportunities. Wrapping up with a spirited debate on whether to "return" or "burn" the movie, we also touch on Robert Downey Jr.’s 80s film roles and how classic movies shaped our childhood dreams. Tune in for a blend of humor, nostalgia, and insightful critique that promises to entertain and enlighten.
