Sean and Brad review the 1961 classic The Absent-Minded Professor.   They talk about what flubber sounds like, what Brad's dunks, when he could dunk, looked like (hint: it looked like a white guy from 1961), and about 25 different parts of the basketball scene.  Is this one of the best basketball scenes in cinema?  We think it might be.

Next episode: Against the Ropes

Against the Ropes is streaming on the Pluto streaming service, but if you don't want to watch 25 ads about Otezla clearing your eczema, go borrow it from your local library.
