Hello Movies, My Old Friend: Episode 109 - Ladybugs

It's another fun trip down nostalgia lane with CAR RAYROB, but on this episode of HELLO MOVIES, MY OLD FRIEND, Ray and Rob look at what they've been told is the most pressing issue in modern American life, boy is girls sports! To aide their dissection, they are going to revisit the 1992 sports comedy LADYBUGS. It stars the late/great Rodney Dangerfield (BACK TO SCHOOL, CADDYSHACK) as Chester Lee, a hardworking salesman who is desperate to impress his boss and land the big promotion. When he's offered the opportunity to coach the company's girls soccer team (a sport he knows nothing about), he enlists the help of his fiancée's son Matthew to help him put together a winning season. Co-starring Jonathan Brandis (SEAQUEST DSV, THE NEVERENDING STORY II) and Vinessa Shaw (HOCUS POCUS, 3:10 TO YUMA), LADYBUGS tackles the notion of winning at all costs and finding your self-confidence in the face of perilous odds. 

Join Ray and Rob as they not only dissect this movie, but the way modern society can use pop culture to weaponize concepts beyond rationale understanding. 

Will Rodney Dangerfield's classic wit still ring true after all these years? Or will the concept unpinning this sport comedy fail on and off the field? Tune in this week to find out!
