“The Pigs vs. The Freaks” (1982) with Rick Emerson

Portland at the Movies

Author and broadcaster Rick Emerson joins us to talk about the 1982 (or is it 1980? Or 1984?) made-for-TV movie “The Pigs vs. The Freaks” (or is it “Outsiders”?), starring Brian Dennehy, Patrick Swayze, Adam Baldwin, and Steven Furst, about a small town football game that will finally settle the age-old question: will you root for the cops, or for the hippies?
