In this spirited episode of The Adrian Moment, Ocean and Jim dive into the cult classic cheerleading comedy Bring It On! from 2000. The duo discuss their impressions of the film, which follows a high school cheer squad dealing with a stolen routine and stiff competition from a rival squad.
They especially appreciate the movie’s highly quotable dialogue, citing several of their favorite amusing lines delivered by the colorful cast of characters. They also touch on some of the film’s subplots, like the main character’s struggle to be a good cheer captain and a scam artist who sells the same cheer routines to multiple squads.
But is it a sport? It’s subjectively judged which, for one on our team, makes for a challenge. You’ll have to listen in to hear if the case for athleticism and dedication makes it a legitimate sporting pursuit, even if it doesn’t fit the definition of objective scoring.
It’s a nostalgic look back at this iconic teen movie and to hear Ocean and Jim’s takes on what makes it such an enduring comedy favorite. Spirit fingers at the ready!
