  • Summary

  • In this episode, Dave and Jess watch Next Goal Wins (2023) on Disney Plus. This soccer comedy was written and directed by Taika Waititi, and is based on a true story of the American Samoa national team that lost 31-0 in a World Cup qualifying match. Does this movie rise above the conventions of an underdog tale, or does it deserve to be relegated to the lower leagues?

    The couple discuss the documentary this movie was inspired by, the pitfalls of an “underdog” movie, and whether The Mighty Ducks stands out as the pinnacle of this genre.

    Jess discusses her desire to vacation in American Samoa after watching this film, Dave speculates on why this didn’t do better at the box office, and they both discuss their favorite soccer team - the Phoenix Rising - and how they have become fans of the beautiful game.
