Did you even medal, bro? White male mediocrity (compared to last week’s movie, at least) gets its due as we watch one of two debatably necessary Steve Prefontaine biopics that arrived in the late 1990s. What exactly did this guy do except run really fast on the collegiate level, witness the Munich Olympics’ atrocious massacre unfold on television, and serve as a Nike footwear beta user?
Sara and Rena take a one-way, no-exit trip into dialogue clichesville, where they discuss the Jared Leto problem, how Ed O’Neill always rises to the occasion, whether everyone in Oregon has access to weapons-grade dynamite, and what it means to turn distance running into a “blood sport.” Bonus discussion: Who even are these people? Will anyone ever let Germany host another Olympics?
Prefontaine stars Jared Leto as Steve Prefontaine, R. Lee Ermey as Bill Bowerman, Ed O’Neill as Bill Dellinger, Breckin Meyer as Pat Tyson, Lindsay Crouse as Elfriede Prefontaine, Amy Locane as Nancy Alleman, Kurtwood Smith as Curtis Cunningham, and Laurel Holloman as Elaine Finley.
Spoiler Warning: We spoil everything. And we enjoy it.
