Review of The Shop

An interesting take on behind the scenes "locker room" talk
13 October 2018
The premise is pretty basic. Get a bunch of entertainers together with some sports professionals and let them talk about the things they wanna talk about. It ends up being a very personal, introspective conversation about all parts of their lives. Whether it is family, the game, the business, or something a lot less poignant, every discussion feels real and important. They also feel fresh. Most of the people who speak we are used to hearing talk in a very limited space. Here we get a lot more of themselves in their conversation. There is detail and emotion and an openness that made me want to really listen to what they had to say. This is a show with players of many games involved, but it isn't a games show by any means. This is a show of humanity.
