    The way you know LeBron is the GOAT is that the movie "Bad Teacher", released in June 2011, has Jason Segel arguing with a middle schooler about LeBron vs Jordan. Since that scene was filmed, LeBron has won two MVPs, been to 9 finals, won 4 rings, and been All-NBA 14x (9x 1st)

    And for those who like seeing super smart people fail at "real human". It was the first movie directed by Jake Kasdan, who's also done Bad Teacher, the Jumanji remake, and Red One. He tried to make a TV spinoff in 2002 starring Alan Cumming in the detective role, which sounds good.

    Colin, you ever see the movie Bad Teacher? There’s a scene where Josh Segel is arguing with a kid about who’s better, Jordan or LeBron, and Segel says “Jordan has 6 rings” and the kid said is that the only argument you have? This apologist reminds me of that kid

    Accidentally created a perfect thematic double feature last night by watching BAD TEACHER and MEATBALLS back-to-back. At their core, these are two movies about people who shouldn't be allowed around children, and yet somehow are the best thing for them (in a way that only works on film).

    Yeah, but I try to be positive. And clearly a lot of people like it. Well, film critics who are technically people (as long as you don't have to eat with them). On RT, the audience score is much lower. But the film's okay. It's no Bad Teacher!

    Arguing LeBron was the GOAT in 2011, after losing to the Mavs in desultory fashion, is an insane position to take. He had zero championships & two MVPs at that point, a similar resume to Steve Nash. It’s the equivalent of suggesting MJ as the GOAT in 1990. Also, Bad Teacher is a terrible movie.

    Flying under the radar, the 2019 film 'Just Mercy' tells true story of Bryan Stevenson who defends prisoners wrongfully accused. An amazing man & one whose struggle we should all know about. Cameron Diaz' character in Bad Teacher got a lot of flack, but some films can be v effective teaching aids.

    Cameron Diaz has made a lot of crappy movies in her career, to the point that I would not consider myself a fan at all (sit through "The Other Woman" sometime, and then argue its merits- there aren't any). Here, Diaz finds a meaty, funny role and gives it her all. Elizabeth Halsey (Cameron Diaz) is a gold-digging teacher leaving her middle school after a year to marry Mark (Nat Faxon). She is dumped, and realizes the only way to score a rich guy is through ginormous breasts. She returns to…
