Coach Tyranny: Sowing the Seeds of Victory (2010)
If you're ever around the Oxbow High School football field on a cool, autumn afternoon, you're likely to hear Coach Gene Tierney barking his favorite line, "Don't mess with the chest!" "Coach Tyranny," as his players call him, is on a mission to change the world, just as soon as he figures out how. In fact, he is so obsessed with developing neck, chest, and calf muscles that he needs a little help from the people around him to keep him on the right track. Even though he may seem misguided, Coach Tyranny has a massive chest that houses one of the biggest hearts around. In the end, if there's one thing we can learn from Coach Tyranny, it's that God really can use anyone.

"Him" - All Flash, No Game
Him is visually stunning—all concrete cathedrals and bone-rattling impact shots that look like a nightmare highlight reel. Marlon Wayans is magnetic as this legendary quarterback who's basically selling salvation with a smile that never quite reaches his eyes. But the story keeps running in circles: more tests, more cryptic pep talks, more ritualistic drills. The sports-as-religion metaphor beats you over the head when subtlety would've been more effective. The middle drags, and that finale chooses spectacle over substance. It's undeniably stylish, but left me cold. Also worth noting: despite the Monkeypaw connection, this isn't actually a Jordan Peele film—he didn't write or direct.
