SLAP SHOT

In the gritty steel town of Charlestown, things look grim: the local mill is about to lay off 10,000 workers, and the minor league hockey team, the Charlestown Chiefs, faces its final season after years of failure. To try and save the team, frustrated player-coach Reggie Dunlop unleashes the Hanson Brothers—three bruisers known more for fists than finesse—whose violent style electrifies the fans. Dunlop capitalizes, turning the struggling team into a rough-and-tumble spectacle that packs the arena.

Craig and Elisabeth talk about hocky fights, the grimy 70s, the end of Bradley Cooper and the movie “Slap Shot” on this week’s Matinee Heroes!
