I’m just confused as to how Jason and June are so lost on why the title works. Let’s break it down:
Jam (noun) - an awkward situation or predicament
-- The Tunes found themselves in a bit of a JAM when they are kidnapped by aliens from SPACE. Later, the basketball players who have their talent siphoned away are also in a jam, caused by the same space dwelling aliens.
Jam (verb) - slang term for a slam dunk in basketball.
--This is the reason for its use in the title of the popular video game NBA JAM. In Space Jam, we once again reference the aliens from space and the generally fun-to-watch action of the slam dunk.
Jam (noun) - slang term for one of your favorite songs - “Yo! Hit ’Em High is my JAM!”
-- The soundtrack for Space jam was quite popular, with a number of hits including R.Kelly’s “I Believe I Can Fly”, which people may shun now, but was enormously popular at release and for years after.
The title works in many ways, none of which are that much of a stretch to reach. Jason, June, stop hatin’.
