Gus from the very funny podcast Most Controversial joins Stu and Cole to discuss the strange Jordan Peele produced sports horror film "Him", a surreal saga about professional football and the relationship between the greatest quarterback of all time and his up-and-coming protege and rival. Our discussions include the many themes the film gestures at, it's ability or inability to corral them into a coherent thesis, where it is and isn't trying to be funny, and the ways in which it fundamentally misunderstands football and the particular psychopathology of our era's greatest athletes.
