USA Vs USSR 1980 Miracle: & Winter Olympic Sports Ranked
Part One: Rating the Winter Olympic Sports
Spunky and Wolfman bring their signature 70s vs 80s perspective to the slopes, rinks, and halfpipes as they rank every Winter Olympic sport on their patented pop culture scale. Which events score a perfect “Billie Jean video” (the ultimate 80s achievement)? And which ones crash harder than the King himself, earning the dreaded “Elvis dying on the toilet” rating?
From figure skating’s sequined glory to the icy chaos of curling, no sport is safe from their hot takes and nostalgic banter. Whether you’re Team Downhill or Team Luge, prepare for laughs, arguments, and maybe a few controversial opinions.
Part Two: Miracle - The Boys of 1980 Documentary Review
The hosts dive into Netflix’s Miracle: The Boys of 1980, the documentary that brought back all the feelings from that legendary Lake Placid moment. Spunky and Wolfman walk you through the goosebumps-inducing moments, the unexpected tears, and the belly laughs that hit them while revisiting one of sports’ greatest underdog stories.
