Out of the Blue Episode 37: Spring Game overreactions and drafting your starting five for movies

Welcome Michigan Wolverine fans!

Jared and Andrew briefly cover the basketball departures before reacting to the spring game. The Poole party is over, but the Josh Gattis statue unveiling has commenced in their minds. They break down what stood out on offense, defense, and “try” to contain their excitement over Jake Moody presumably winning the kicker battle.

Finally, they discuss drafting their ideal movie cast utilizing a $15.00 budget. There are actors, actresses, and directors, valued from $1.00 to $5.00. How much is David Spade worth? Do you want Kurosawa directing your film or Brett Ratner?

Categories can be debated and are 99% subjective. Here is the list they used if you want to sound off below with your film. It is not a comprehensive list, but the omission of Italian neo-realism directors for more contemporary ones felt appropriate for this exercise.
