Why Air Bud Is the Craziest Sports Movie Ever Made!
Episode Notes
Get ready for one of the funniest and most chaotic movie breakdowns ever as Horns Over Hoops teams up once again with the Horse Girls Podcast to revisit the legendary 1997 classic, Air Bud.
In this crossover episode, Sal-Bass, Scott Berman, and Dan Gracey are joined by Jenna, Alex, and Tim to unpack the story of the basketball-playing golden retriever that launched a 14-movie franchise. From the infamous “there’s no rule that says a dog can’t play basketball” scene to the bizarre courtroom showdown between a clown and a kid, we cover it all with humor, nostalgia, and a heavy dose of disbelief.
Expect laugh-out-loud commentary on the questionable parenting, demonic dog theories, pudding-based economies, and how Air Bud somehow survived on SpaghettiOs and vanilla pudding. Plus, we dive into the Air Bud sequels, the insane moment when Bud plays football in Golden Receiver, and the absurdity of Space Buddies.
Whether you grew up crying over Air Bud in 1997 or are discovering it for the first time, this episode is packed with movie trivia, basketball laughs, and dog movie nostalgia you won’t want to miss.
