Ah, November, the middle child of the holiday seasons. October might be the spookiest month, and December is all Christmas all the time, but November often ends up the month without a theme, mainly because there are like three different celebrations that dot the month. Aside from armistice day next week and Thanksgiving a couple weeks down the line, November is, here in America, a sports month. We just had the final game of the World Series over the weekend, and I’m told by more sports savvy individuals and pop culture at large there’s some kind of football to be enjoyed over the rest of this month.
This November has an additional dollop
of sports obsession added to it with Creed
coming out later this month, the thoroughly hyped Rocky sequel/spin-off revolving around rising star Michael B.
Jordan as the son of Apollo Creed coming to Rocky for training. In the spirit of all this, I’ve decided
to dedicate November to sports movies. Because I remain a massive nerd who
doesn’t really like most sports films, I’m adding the wrinkle that they have to
be sci-fi sports films. So welcome to Cyber-Sports November with our first film: Robot Jox.
