New FloFilm: 'Toughest Bracket Ever'

[VakAttack 3,969]

I don't know if it's been previously announced, but just saw an ad for it during the current broadcast.  I feel like it was made for old school posters, haha.  Looks like they got all or most of the participants to give interviews.  My understanding of the interpersonal dynamics is that neither Caldwell (obviously) or Palmer like Metcalf, still to this day.  I doubt Bubba's a fan either.  Could be some salty talk going on.  I'm super here for it.

Haven’t seen the info for this yet but would love to see a series of Flo shows highlighting a tough NCAA bracket with behind the scenes video and present day interviews of the participants with in match highlights.  The “pull the curtain back” documentary style films With the drama building as wrestlers advance seems like a great series to make.  Very similar feeling to the Minnesota NCAA run film.

So the trailer for this film made it clear that it was coming January 20th. I just checked around and it's nowhere to be found (Flo's web site, facebook site, Flo app, etc.)

What did I miss?

Episode 1 is out.  My first distinct observation:  Josh Churella appears to have aged 30 years since 2008.

I feel like we created the film for them from the last 12 years of threads on the toughest bracket. Will our names show up in the credits?

Yeah but how long will it take to get my flo coin credited back after I cancel?

I’m a bit confused. Is there a part 2?   Just watched what I could find ... it reviews the quarter finals but then stops. A bit of a reference to semis and little to nothing about backside battles.  Nothing on the finals match.  
 

Nice job with what is there ... and getting the interviews.

It will have multiple parts.  Not sure how many.

I haven't listened to FRL on it and apologize if the answer is easy to find, but do we know when the next episode is set to come out?

ok thanks, hopefully soon

[MSU158 1,978]

Metcalf was weekly, so I would assume the same. 

[VakAttack 3,969]

I think they said it was two parts on FRL this week.

[gimpeltf 2,045]

I saw a clip for part 2- Instagram I think.

That Metcalf singlet grab in quarters —woah!  I didn’t recall that coming up way back.  But I’m sure my memory is rusty.

I don't believe it ever did.

[VakAttack 3,969]

I'd never heard about it until now.

[nom 1,179]

I like how Flo did it.  Lance calls it out.  They ask Metcalf who was CLEARLY sheepish about it. And then the zoom and pause on the replay.  Nailed.  Wow.

End justifies the means I guess.

I've saw him recently, and I think he still looks great!!!  Married, with I believe three sons....beautiful family!!!!

Anyone else have a case for another similarly tough bracket. Would love to see a few more chapters of this series.  I’m sure they won’t have much background footage for anything too old, but their drill maybe enough footage and interviews to put together some more.

the biggest hurdles to future films on the subject are availability of athletes involved and cost of archive videos. video from ESPN et al is very expensive. 

definitely interested in hearing all opinions about brackets that rival this one in toughness. even if it doesnt result in a film, it'll be fun to discuss here or anywhere else too.
