Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Pigskin Parade (1936)

Terribly corny musical about a little Texas College football team being mistakenly invited to play an exhibition game against Yale. But the college's new coach is a boob, their quarterback gets injured, and what the heck are they gonna do?? Well, the coach's wife'll run the show behind the scenes, they'll find a hillbilly melon-chucker for the team, and he'll drag along his little sister Judy "I can sayng, wanna hear me?" Garland with him.

Inoffensive and silly. The worst thing about it is the shoehorning of the new-to-Hollywood Garland into the show. Her role is completely unnecessary and it shows.
