  • Summary

  • Of the countless sports movies that have been released over the past thirty years, Cool Runnings might be the most culturally significant. Released in 1993, the film tells the story of the Jamaican Bobsled team that competed in the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary. In this episode, we hear all about how the film was made, including the struggle from the actors to make sure their characters weren’t stereotyped beyond recognition, and how certain elements in the film were changed to make the story more “Hollywood.”
