Picking Nits

The final game draws a slow-motion complaint, while the soundtrack divides the panel: one participant loves it and another enjoys its funky Midnight Run-like sound, but the lack of hip-hop is still criticized; Black Sheep, Tupac, Scenario, and PM Dawn are proposed, with Above the Rim's Snoop/Dogg Pound use cited as a model.

The final basketball sequence is criticized for too much slow motion.
The soundtrack receives explicit support: one participant says they love it, and another says its funky approach resembling Midnight Run works and is enjoyable.
The lack of rap or hip-hop is called the biggest nitpick despite that support, with the music's 1992 mainstream context discussed.
Above the Rim is praised for using Big Pimpin' by Snoop and the Dog Pound, offered as an example of music belonging to its specific basketball era.
Black Sheep's The Choice Is Yours, early Tupac, Scenario, and PM Dawn are proposed in turn, with PM Dawn immediately resisted as music the characters would not hear.
