Brian and the Boz (2014): cast, story & where to watch

Released in 2014, Brian and the Boz is a documentary film directed by Thaddeus D. Matula, running about 77 minutes.

What it’s about. In some ways, Barry Switzer and Brian Bosworth were made for each other. The Oklahoma coach and the linebacker he recruited to play for him were both out-sized personalities who delighted in thumbing their noses at the establishment. And in their three seasons together (1984-86), the unique father-son dynamic resulted in 31 wins and two Orange Bowl victories as Bosworth was awarded the first two Butkus Awards. But then Bosworth's alter ego: "The Boz," took over both their lives and ultimately destroyed their careers. In "Brian and The Boz," Bosworth looks back on the mistakes he made and passes on the lessons he learned to his son. It's a revealing portrait of a man who had and lost it all, and a trip back to a time when enough just wasn't enough.

Who’s in it. Brian and the Boz stars Jim Ross as Self and Brian Bosworth as Himself.
