While Lewis is busy sending up himself on Curb Your Enthusiasm, fans of his scuzzy 1999 gem are left to buy a $30 DVD from a “discount” vendor on Amazon (one reviewer calls the movie a “sports cult classic,” and they’re not wrong!). Game Day basically doesn’t exist anymore. (You probably don’t, but I do.) The 1999 Richard Lewis-starring, hard R-rated sports comedy (featuring a group blowjob and grizzly courtside gun violence, among other insights into the athletic world) wasn’t exactly a hit, but discovering it at Blockbuster when I was a kid, it felt like a revelation: a filthy sendup of what every other sports film had told me was sacred, with a stoned, stripper-addicted college basketball coach (Lewis, perfectly awful as always) hanging onto faded glories at its center.
