"I don't care what the scoreboard says at the end of the game, in my book we're gonna be winners!" For Episode 309, Brandon and David continue CineNation's series on the films of Gene Hackman. Listen as they discuss HOOSIERS, a film that was seen by some as a comeback for Hackman. Find out more about who the original choice for the lead character was, the tensions between the creative team and Hackman, and how this low-budget underdog sports film became a real-life cinderella story.
