Yeah, it was it was so fun.
Twenty something years ago doing the film.
And obviously that's an adaptation.
This was a documentary.
This is in the guy's own words, bringing them back to Lake Placid, telling their stories.
and and just hearing them talk about it and and showing you know ioc footage had never been seen before so you got a really just a different look of that same story uh and and mike of course was was amazing and he's the captain and the same dynamic uh from 45 years ago exists and it was great getting the guys back together and boomer hope you have your sag card still so
You know, it's amazing.
And everybody's point of reference was the movie.
Now you have the documentary.
Oh, I think we definitely did.
You know, I was in Ritchie Coliseum watching the game, and I remember it was not live, and you didn't get the โ you heard they won, you heard they lost.
So when we watched, and everyone went crazy, the whole campus and the whole country.
So, yeah, Mike, I mean, you know, you lived it.
I mean, I know you've got โ and you talk about it in the doc about that experience.
Yeah, it really is.
It's perfect timing, too, for this for this film.
And, you know, the USA chant happened then.
And I think in the Sweden game at the end and and people didn't expect this.
And the country was in bad shape.
And, you know, the Soviet Union was so good.
