Ep. 42 - The Sandlot

<p>Get nostalgic about a movie that’s all about nostalgia in the 42nd episode of Scoring At The Movies.</p> <p>The Sandlot takes us back to our own baseballing youth, especially as we both can relate---in some ways, at least---to Scotty Smalls. Those aspects are what make us, and many other people, feel like this movie is better than it probably is. The creepy Squints/Wendy angle though? Yipes. Not so good. But this is a movie about tall tales, so maybe we can pretend what Squints does is just a big exaggeration? </p> <p>Well, our conversation about the “Endless Practice” movie is not a tall tale at all, so sit down and let James Earl Jones regale you with baseball stories as long as you love his dog. It’s a win win!</p> <p>Pedantry Alert: This movie doesn’t actually seem to be based on a book, as Chris implies. Also, David Mickey Evans is working on a prequel to this movie, not another sequel. Also also, Stan Musial was actually still playing when this movie is set (1962) and Ted Williams had retired just a few years before.</p> <p>We like to be contacted: @moviefiend51 and @scoringatmovies</p> <p>Our website: scoringatthemovies.podbean.com</p>
