Netflix’s Best of the Best is Actually Kind of the Best | SVU
Summary
Hosts Jordan Hoffman and Matt Singer review the new Netflix film Best of the Best, a charming Bollywood-style dance competition movie set in college. They discuss its energetic choreography, witty script, and formulaic yet effective plot, while also recommending the 1997 classic Dil To Pagal Hai and the short ballet film New York Export: Opus Jazz. The episode concludes with a listener request for "bottle movies," leading to a discussion of the sci-fi thriller Cube and other single-location films.
