Space Jam

Welcome to the Jam! We're kicking off an ersatz Looney Tunes miniseries this week, starting with the movie that reintroduced Bugs Bunny and company to the zeitgeist for an entire generation: SPACE JAM! This goofy 75-minute advertisement fused two of the most heavily marketed pop culture figures in history: the Looney Tunes, and NBA legend Michael Jordan. We dig into Jordan's illustrious career, the stranglehold he and the Bulls had on the culture at large at the time, and the waxing and waning fortunes of Warner Bros.' flagship cartoons. Plus, we're playing the SPACE JAM game for PS1, one of the most inherently unbalanced games we've yet to encounter. 

Hosted by Steve Guntli, Jennifer "JBan" Bannister, and Justin Wilhelm
