Summary

This week on "Shat the Movies," we’re hitting the rink with Slap Shot (1977), the ultimate hockey comedy! Join us as we dive into this rowdy, irreverent film about a struggling minor league hockey team and their eccentric players, led by the unforgettable Paul Newman.

We’ll break down the film’s mix of humor, sports action, and its over-the-top characters. Whether you’re a hockey fan or just in it for the laughs, get ready for a fun discussion about this cult classic that still scores today!

Plot Summary:
In the small New England town of Charlestown, the local mill is about to lay off 10,000 workers. The town’s minor league hockey team, the Charlestown Chiefs, is doing no better. After years of failure, this will be the team’s last season. Exasperated player and coach Reggie Dunlop (Paul Newman) lets the club’s recent acquisitions, the Hanson Brothers, play. The brothers’ actively violent and thuggish style of play excites the fans. Dunlop retools the team, using violence to draw big crowds. Commissioned by Jon W.
