A Little Lightning War: History Gamed, Explained & Entertained14 Jul 2021

Miracle with Joe Cecala

Joe Cecala, fellow history teacher, hockey coach and history movie watcher and I discuss the movie "Miracle" about the 1980 Winter Olympics and the clash of the Soviet and US ice hockey teams. We go over everything from the low times of the Cold War for Americans, to gluten free beer, to best practices of hockey player abuse, to me repeatedly screwing up Irish last names. Joe's chair squeaks a lot, but only if you listen closely, and we diverge Coach Herb Brook's greatness as well as Kurt Russel carrying a movie with a bunch of very good hockey players and so-so actors creating a winning film.

I hope you enjoy.
