The Cleveland Browns are the most tortured franchise in sports. They have never won a Super Bowl. But in 1986, in the middle of the season, the players on the team filmed a time travel sorcery movie that prophesied they would do just that— it featured the novelty-singer Tiny Tim, had ninjas and sword fighting, a castle, a shotgun, and even a black bear. Ben searches for answers about why this obscure movie was made and why no one outside Cleveland has ever seen it.
Host and journalist Ben Baskin was recently joined by former Cleveland Browns center Mike Baab and his wife Lolis Garcia-Baab, Cleveland-native directors Joe Russo and Anthony Russo, Cleveland comedian Mike Polk Jr., WKYC Channel 3 sports commentator Jim Donovan, and #ClevelandFilm Stuntman Rick Fike, as they all discuss this forgotten, barbarian-themed classic.
