ABOUT THE EPISODE:

This week, Jackie Cooper is back, baby, and this time in a movie David and Suzan can actually watch! The Champ is kind of Rocky times Dennis the Menace divided by a dysfunctional, alcoholic family drama. Look, your hosts aren’t mathematicians, they’re just two adventurers trying to scale their own screen based Everest. But they like this one despite its sappy sentimentality and bizarre mashups of genres.
