Movie of the Day: "Space Jam" (1996)

Today's March Madness movie is Space Jam, from 1996. In it, Michael Jordan, the world's greatest basketball player, teams up with Bugs Bunny and the Looney Tunes to challenge the invading aliens in Toon Land to a basketball game. This was a lot of fun, but now it works best as a kind of time capsule movie, one that shows you just how massive a superstar Jordan was at the time (in case you don't remember). He was so famous that the movie can easily poke fun at his recent real life stint in baseball before making his dramatic return to the basketball court, and it's not supposed to be played as an inside joke. Everyone was following his every move back then- rarely could one athlete command the whole world's attention like Michael Jordan did when he was on top (sorry LeBron James- there's really no comparison in terms of cultural impact). This one also has cameos from comedians like Bill Murray and Wayne Knight, as well as other famous basketball players from the 90's NBA craze.
