The Slam in the Rain
Titan Reed vs. The Mountain
Open-air stadium, Kansas City
Fifty thousand people, a storm, and a man who should not be liftable. Reed lifts him anyway. The wet canvas throws the lights back into the stands. No one goes home early.
Program notes
The surviving shot is from the upper deck. You cannot see faces. You can see the whole city leaning in. This is the one that made SuperCard a common noun.
- Titan Reed
- The Mountain
House historian
A late-night call of this film — why it played then, and why it still plays for whoever is on the couch.
