Speaker 2: please listen to your prediction?
Speaker 1: Yes, Hi, Leanna, this is Sienna.
Speaker 2: I'm about to watch a League of their Own.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've seen this movie a long time ago. Because
Speaker 1: guess what. I played softball back in the day. Ye
Speaker 1: a big fan.
Speaker 2: Baseball can be pretty fun to watch, though it's also
Speaker 2: very long and boring.
Speaker 1: But it's not about baseball that we're talking about right now.
Speaker 1: We're talking about a League of their Own.
Speaker 2: Tom Hanks saying, there's no crying in baseball, Rosie.
Speaker 1: O'Donnell Madonna, Yes, yes, Geena.
Speaker 2: Davis of course. Wow. I remember a lot of the
Speaker 2: stuff about this movie, but I cannot remember anything that happened. No, no,
Speaker 2: Geena Davis is not a farm at softball, at baseball,
Speaker 2: and she goes to play because the men go to war.
Speaker 2: Question mark, mm hmm. Well, we'll just have to find
Speaker 2: out how much I actually remember. Okay, I love you, goodbye.
Speaker 2: You proceed to remember all two hours of the film.
Speaker 1: I guess I remembered it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was it.
Speaker 1: There were still many surprises that came, but.
Speaker 2: I can see it. Geena Davis is on a farm.
Speaker 1: She's on a farm.
Speaker 2: It's just come to me, she's on a farm. Okay, Sienna,
Speaker 2: here's my prediction for a League of their Own. Hi, Sienna,
Speaker 2: it's Leanna. I'm about to watch what is it? A
Speaker 2: League of their Own? I predict baseball and a little
Speaker 2: bit gay and Tam Hanks and probably a bunch of
Speaker 2: hats okay, and like pigtails. But in the forties, is
Speaker 2: it the forties? There were a few? Is that the
Speaker 2: TV series version? You know what? I don't care love
Speaker 2: you bye?
Speaker 1: How did you know all that?
Speaker 2: Because it's a classic imagery, societal imagery totally. I guess
Speaker 2: I'd have to chalk that up to societal imagery.
Speaker 1: See, that's informative that there's enough Halloween.
Speaker 2: I didn't I did. I didn't watch the TV to
Speaker 2: the TV series when it came out. But again, a
Speaker 2: lot of imagery crossed my eyevaults, which I've been absorbed.
Speaker 1: My understanding is that that's just based it's just based
Speaker 1: on the movie.
Speaker 2: It's just a I think so mm hmm, but gayer.
Speaker 2: That's what I've heard, which is that's Justice presided to
Speaker 2: actually be gay. And there's a lot of there's one
Speaker 2: black character actually in it.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of long there's a lot of long
Speaker 1: term best friends in this movie. Yes, it's incredibly.
Speaker 2: White, lifelong best friends, but the witt of friends.
Speaker 1: And women who just like didn't get along with guys
Speaker 1: for the longest time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it all felt weird that they didn't really like
Speaker 2: their husbands.
Speaker 1: Anyway. Well, Leonna, it's some time to talk about any
Speaker 1: of that yet, Hey girl.
Speaker 2: Nope, hey girl, girl. I I was confronted by a
Speaker 2: toddler yesterday.
Speaker 1: My gosh, please say more. I can't imagine you interacting
Speaker 1: with the toddler. Actually I can.
Speaker 2: I think. Okay, I was walking home from the bus
Speaker 2: from work in a dress. I was wearing a dress,
Speaker 2: sue me.
Speaker 1: Good for you.
Speaker 2: It's springtime time, so my legs were I got my
Speaker 2: gams out and I'm trying to get some color on
Speaker 2: them because I have the legs of a ghost right now.
Speaker 2: They've been away all winter. I round it. I walk
Speaker 2: through these little gardens between the bus stop and my
Speaker 2: flat to the garden of Nature. Mercifully. No, I still
Speaker 2: don't know where that is. I wouldn't know how to
Speaker 2: get there from the bus stop that I take that
Speaker 2: drops me off near ish to my flat. I turn
Speaker 2: into the garden and a toddler is there, and I say, well,
Speaker 2: that's not my ideal, uh, companion in a garden. The
Speaker 2: toddler clocks me and runs straight at me. My gosh,
Speaker 2: and then hugs my legs, your bear legs, my bare legs.
Speaker 2: Just they stick their face on my knee. I say hello, uh,
Speaker 2: I say out loud, oh hello, hello. Their their guardian
Speaker 2: is there and says, oh sorry, she she self soothes
Speaker 2: with with skin. She really likes skin. Oh no. I
Speaker 2: was like, hey, find a different phrase, money that's worn
Speaker 2: saying that, and then the parents said she loves knees,
Speaker 2: and I said what This toddler was just face on
Speaker 2: my knee for And I didn't know, obviously what to do,
Speaker 2: so I just patted the toddler on the head and
Speaker 2: I said, okay, girl, I gotta go home now, girl,
Speaker 2: bye girl. And then the parent was like ha ha ha,
Speaker 2: and the toddler kind of released my legs, and then
Speaker 2: the parent was like like, oh lolol nice legs. And
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, thanks girl, all right, by queens.
Speaker 2: I left, and I wandered further towards my home. Came
Speaker 2: in front of a guy who then was saying something
Speaker 2: to me. But I put my music back in, which
Speaker 2: of course was the soundtrack to Sinners, and the guy
Speaker 2: was saying something to me that I couldn't hear, so
Speaker 2: I took my headphone out and he was like, oh,
Speaker 2: slow down so she can catch you. And I was like,
Speaker 2: am I gonna have to run away from a toddler
Speaker 2: until I am in the comfort of my own home
Speaker 2: because the toddler needs to self soothe with the skin
Speaker 2: of my knees.
Speaker 1: This is so much to take in. So he told
Speaker 1: you to slow down because there was a toddler chasing you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you turned.
Speaker 1: Around and he was running after you, trying to feel
Speaker 1: your knee.
Speaker 2: Skin, trying to get face on knee again. Okay.
Speaker 1: Also, I'm so sorry that you were punished for wearing
Speaker 1: your bare legs outside, which is your right. And immediately
Speaker 1: they're like, sorry, this little monster loves skin.
Speaker 2: A local gremlin face planted directly onto my bare knees,
Speaker 2: so specific. It was really odd. But again it was
Speaker 2: a moment of me realizing, okay, and we are a
Speaker 2: touch starved populous. Yeah, and by we, I mean myself.
Speaker 1: Was there anything charming about it that you're like all
Speaker 1: a little a little child?
Speaker 2: I mean I didn't, they didn't bite, they had curly hair.
Speaker 2: I think I was really charming in the whole thing.
Speaker 2: The way I handled it was pretty angelic. It sounds
Speaker 2: lovely oh my god, speaking of angelic new Pope alert,
Speaker 2: new Pope, white, smoke white, smoke white. I got to
Speaker 2: see and the BBC notifications, and I said, new Pope Alert,
Speaker 2: new Pope.
Speaker 1: My brother had a funny comment where he said, he's like,
Speaker 1: it's tough when you're from a country where when you
Speaker 1: find out the pope is from your country, you go,
Speaker 1: oh no.
Speaker 2: That's exactly what I did. Yeah, we are, we are
Speaker 2: in a bad period of history for our nation.
Speaker 1: But besides that, girl, yes, girl, I reorganized my closet
Speaker 1: and it's now usable since I got to this since
Speaker 1: I got to this house, and it's been like a
Speaker 1: year and a half. I got a dresser at first,
Speaker 1: but it was a flop and there was this long
Speaker 1: rod in my closet the whole time, so I had
Speaker 1: to shove a dresser under it at first, so that
Speaker 1: was always awkward. And then I could put clothes on
Speaker 1: either side of the dresser. Yeah, it's very like deep
Speaker 1: on either side closet. It's like a very long closet
Speaker 1: horizontally mm hmm. But then I replaced that long rod
Speaker 1: with two short rods. Oh, I mean, Kelsey did it
Speaker 1: for me because because women's rights, women's rights, because a
Speaker 1: that is women's rights. Be He's just good at that
Speaker 1: spatial stuff. And he's like, I think it'd be better
Speaker 1: if you just had two short rods. And I'm like,
Speaker 1: that's impossible for me to do. He's like, I can
Speaker 1: just put him in. Just changing that long rod with
Speaker 1: two short rods has completely changed my life. WHOA I
Speaker 1: know where all my clothes are now because I can
Speaker 1: stack other things in here. Anyway, I'm very happy about it.
Speaker 2: It's dreamy baby, yes, yes, well, speaking of having one's
Speaker 2: life completely changed thanks to a man. Damn it, damn it,
Speaker 2: but you are right, Sienna. Could you please give us
Speaker 2: a synopsis of the film A Lade with their.
Speaker 1: Own speaking of men allowing for women's.
Speaker 2: Rights, allowing for it, the only way we can get
Speaker 2: them a league of their own. League of their Own
Speaker 2: is a story of the creation of a women's baseball
Speaker 2: team while the men are away in World War two.
Speaker 2: The end, that's getting ready to have a long, luxurious
Speaker 2: sip of water, and it's like I can really relax
Speaker 2: at that time.
Speaker 1: Okay, that is well, you can still drink the water
Speaker 1: as I take some more details. Oh, you are Okay,
Speaker 1: more details are Tom Hanks enters the scene. At some
Speaker 1: point they gather women for a league. Tom Hanks enters
Speaker 1: the scene as the manager. He's sort of a disgraced
Speaker 1: baseball star in his own right, or an old beloved
Speaker 1: baseball star who's now quite drunk and not excited about
Speaker 1: things or life, and this sort of wakes up his
Speaker 1: love of baseball. And the ladies get to play the
Speaker 1: sport they love professionally and they have to kind of
Speaker 1: they get the league going, and then they go, this
Speaker 1: league isn't doing so hot, and they're like, how could
Speaker 1: we make it better? And there's also a very funny
Speaker 1: aspect of the period, the period piece of it all,
Speaker 1: where these women also have to learn to be like
Speaker 1: charming and everything, and even though they don't say it,
Speaker 1: they're like, these are some girls who are extra boyish
Speaker 1: and don't have the same interests as the girls that
Speaker 1: we that we want them to be, which is to
Speaker 1: say they're gay. But okay, yeah, they all end up
Speaker 1: with men anyway in the flashback or the flash forward
Speaker 1: later where they're all like, and we all have husbands,
Speaker 1: so it worked, yeah, right, But the gay it is
Speaker 1: it's pretty much Uh, it's it's retro. It's retro promos
Speaker 1: and and ladies and women's Athleticism HM and Tom Hanks yelling.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, okay. Time to grand slam into our phone
Speaker 2: notes the segment of the podcast where we take a
Speaker 2: look at the notes that the other person wrote on
Speaker 2: their phone while watching the film. Oh, Sienna, you've written.
Speaker 2: These movies really take their time. It's been thirty minutes
Speaker 2: and we aren't even off the train.
Speaker 1: I both love it. It's very I was thinking when
Speaker 1: this movie started. It's very much the time of what's
Speaker 1: his name? Who does all the then?
Speaker 2: Roberts? Oh, Hans Zimmer.
Speaker 1: I don't think that's who I'm thinking of.
Speaker 2: That's who did the music for this.
Speaker 1: That's okay, So he's the same, the same.
Speaker 2: Excuse me, no, excuse me. I'm so sorry. I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: I gave a correct answer. So I gave a correct answer,
Speaker 2: credit crediting and art. Wow, yes, sorry, I take it
Speaker 2: back into taking the correct bo Who is it again?
Speaker 2: To be a woman?
Speaker 1: No? No, no, who was it again?
Speaker 2: That's who I meant. No, that's fine. You wanted me
Speaker 2: to say John Williams, even though that's not who did
Speaker 2: the music. For the Flinn only does music for men's movies,
Speaker 2: this Flint Robert Zimmer, mister Zimmer, Yeah, Hans Zimmer.
Speaker 1: That's what I mean, So Hans Zimmer. But this kind
Speaker 1: of beautiful nineties cinema.
Speaker 2: God, yeah, how do you feel about it? You just
Speaker 2: I hated the music in this film. It's honestly one
Speaker 2: of my tragedy. That's that's okay. There were moments where
Speaker 2: the itch, there were.
Speaker 1: Moments where a scene was happening and I heard this
Speaker 1: very very uh sort of not melancholy was the word
Speaker 1: I'm thinking of. Melodramatically, Yeah, freakily sort of melodramatic. Uh
Speaker 1: sweep of music, yes, sweep uh. And I went and
Speaker 1: I literally at some time sometimes I literally thought the
Speaker 1: music was coming from somewhere else because it was so
Speaker 1: out of place.
Speaker 2: It was so anachronistic. In what was the scene where
Speaker 2: that woman finds out her husband died at the war
Speaker 2: and they were playing like the beginning of Honey I
Speaker 2: shrank the kids getting the male music.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a mix of that and like war movie
Speaker 1: beautiful hopeful music, which is just but you know what
Speaker 1: era of movie you're getting when you hear this true
Speaker 1: that I have to commend them for. But another thing
Speaker 1: this movie, this era of movies does is they take
Speaker 1: their damn time, because yeah, my screenwriting roommate was telling
Speaker 1: me scripts were allowed to be one hundred and twenty
Speaker 1: pages back then, and now they have to be ninety
Speaker 1: pages as the standard, and which and.
Speaker 2: How are movies now so long? So long? Still?
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think it's because if you.
Speaker 2: Are are some of the ninety pages saying this scene
Speaker 2: has to take thirty minutes.
Speaker 1: And then thirty minutes happen. It's a great question.
Speaker 2: Beat in Princey's a thirty minute one. This is related, Sienna,
Speaker 2: you noted, oh you thought this movie wasn't going to
Speaker 2: have Tom Hanks, because one third of the movie has
Speaker 2: gone by with no Tom Hanks comes in so late.
Speaker 1: We were doing just fine without you, Leanna. I am
Speaker 1: going to read some of your notes, and I really
Speaker 1: I haven't asked you yet what you even think of
Speaker 1: the movie, And I'll be curious. Let's all guess based
Speaker 1: on things I've said that she's real.
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, oh.
Speaker 1: Wow, this is the nineties. If I had two boys,
Speaker 1: I would KMS roles for old women.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: True, I am a Yankee doodle dandy. I am a
Speaker 1: Yankee doodle boy.
Speaker 2: I am a Yankee doodle dan. I am I am
Speaker 2: a Yankee doodle boy. I believe we had to watch that.
Speaker 2: They mentioned the song over there, the war tune, and
Speaker 2: then I immediately started going and I couldn't stop throughout
Speaker 2: the film. I am a Yankee doodle dandy, I am
Speaker 2: a Yankee do boy. Oh it was I laughed so
Speaker 2: often in it that film over there.
Speaker 1: Gosh, okay, wait, two more notes, Leanna, you've said, not
Speaker 1: that that wasn't important.
Speaker 2: Over there there.
Speaker 1: Leanna, you've said an important time for high wasted pant,
Speaker 1: high wasted pant. Very true and so thank you so much.
Speaker 1: And you said, Sienna, I think you kind of look
Speaker 1: like Geena Davis. First of all, thank you so much.
Speaker 1: Second of all, she is my most consistent celebrity lookalike
Speaker 1: that people say to.
Speaker 2: Me, Oh, really, okay she is. Yeah.
Speaker 1: When I there was, yes, I hit a certain age
Speaker 1: where I think my.
Speaker 2: He became gorgeous.
Speaker 1: I was thinking that my jaw became very square shaped. Yeah,
Speaker 1: not square jaw bone, but like this shape of my face.
Speaker 1: I think we were still more shape face shape and
Speaker 1: my jaw set and I grew jaw muscles, and then
Speaker 1: everybody started saying I looked like Geena Davis.
Speaker 2: Yeah, totally, and you do. It was something about this,
Speaker 2: the face shape, very tall, the high waisted pant playing softball,
Speaker 2: and then she just moved her body and dressed herself
Speaker 2: in a way that you also do.
Speaker 1: That is so flattering. Thank you so much.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there were moments of the film where I noticed
Speaker 2: her moving her body. I'm like, that woman has such
Speaker 2: long limbs that she has to move through space in
Speaker 2: a way where.
Speaker 1: She's like she's suggesting thing. Yeah, she's an adjustment mode,
Speaker 1: and I think that's why she's I wonder if that's
Speaker 1: why she's such a great person.
Speaker 2: Oh is she? I didn't know she is? She is.
Speaker 1: She has the Geena Davis foundation.
Speaker 2: She's been like she's been standing up for marginalized people
Speaker 2: in films since like before. It was cool. Oh Slay's
Speaker 2: awesome and appears an mpath because she's always adjusting her body.
Speaker 2: Her limbs are so long.
Speaker 1: She also, I think had like twins when she was
Speaker 1: like fifty or something. She's an interesting lady.
Speaker 2: She's a cool It's just cool. Hmmm. Mm hmmm.
Speaker 1: She's had interesting experiences as just a gorgeous woman in Hollywood.
Speaker 1: I commend it.
Speaker 2: I am a Yankee doodle at, I am a Yankee
Speaker 2: doodle break. We'll be right back. That only represents this
Speaker 2: movie because of your specific break.
Speaker 1: No one else in the whole world.
Speaker 2: Over there, over there, over there my song bump that yo.
Speaker 1: Okay, Leanna, you said I can't believe Madonna is just
Speaker 1: in this.
Speaker 2: That was crazy to me. She was a delight That
Speaker 2: was Madonna. I know. I guess it's sort of like
Speaker 2: having Yeah, but at least with Ariana Grande. Now they're like,
Speaker 2: well she's gonna be Glinda, you know, They're like, she's
Speaker 2: gonna say she's like a pop playing a side character.
Speaker 2: This was just Madonna was just in this. Yeah. But
Speaker 2: we'll get to it later. I think they handled it well. Sienna.
Speaker 2: You wrote Tom Hanks loves to play a stinker.
Speaker 1: So Tom Hanks's I think we talked about before that
Speaker 1: he is somebody who in our cultural memory exists as
Speaker 1: a very delightful guy. And I think he is as
Speaker 1: a person, it seems, and you leave his films going,
Speaker 1: what a what a nice guy.
Speaker 2: But during the whole movie. He's like, I'm gonna kill you. Yeah,
Speaker 2: he sucked.
Speaker 1: He was guy sucked disgusting. There were moments of this
Speaker 1: movie where I was this guy. I could never seriously
Speaker 1: be an actor because the things they had him do
Speaker 1: that made him so Like when he comes on the screen,
Speaker 1: has to take a take, a take.
Speaker 2: A long piss for like five minutes, the women time
Speaker 2: to see if it's a record, and.
Speaker 1: Then at the end he has to like shake it
Speaker 1: out in a way that is so disgusting.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: The director's like, be a little grosser, Tom, shake it out,
Speaker 1: and that I would have to turn.
Speaker 2: I would have to step away and go I can't.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I can't shake my wien on screen.
Speaker 2: I can't do that.
Speaker 1: I can't be this disrespectable character you want me to be.
Speaker 1: I know you're paying me to act different. I can't
Speaker 1: do it.
Speaker 2: I will not doing that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but uh, I commend them, but I just don't
Speaker 1: have it.
Speaker 2: I are we sure that Tom Hanks was good at acting?
Speaker 1: I also wonder this sometimes he's just so Tom Hanks.
Speaker 1: I don't know who it was who said this is
Speaker 1: Tom Hanks. Now we're taking this man who acts this way.
Speaker 1: He is going to be our man. This is why
Speaker 1: this is what acting is supposed to be. It's got
Speaker 1: a clownish edge. Oh it was so loud. I think
Speaker 1: he was the actor of the time because there were
Speaker 1: certain comedic beats of the time that existed so specifically then,
Speaker 1: like when he lays one on missus Cuntworth.
Speaker 2: What was her name? Again?
Speaker 1: That's what I kept hearing, and I was like, work, Yesina,
Speaker 1: what was it against? Did I tell you about when
Speaker 1: my friend.
Speaker 2: Was I asked this sleigh contiosity, as did I tell
Speaker 2: you about when I was telling I had talked about
Speaker 2: Kelsey to Urgent and he was.
Speaker 1: Like, what was your what was your partner's name?
Speaker 2: Again? I can't remember was it?
Speaker 1: It's not Cunter because he only remembered.
Speaker 2: The case an incredible name for a drag king. I
Speaker 2: was like, no, no, it's not Cunter. My boyfriend Gunter.
Speaker 1: I love that.
Speaker 2: That's the truth for you, though, because that's awesome for me.
Speaker 2: Oh that's my boyfriend Kunter. I just are you talking
Speaker 2: about when he spanked that woman? Well, he kept.
Speaker 1: Spanking her because he had on the bus. She came
Speaker 1: over to wake him up. He makes out with her.
Speaker 1: He goes hey, baby, gives her a big old kiss.
Speaker 1: You're like, ah, to a modern eye, it's very terrifying.
Speaker 1: And then he wakes up and he goes ah because
Speaker 1: he's horrified that he kissed this old maid. And then
Speaker 1: he has to swish whiskey around in his mouth like mouthwash,
Speaker 1: and the fear on his face is a clownish in
Speaker 1: a nineties way that they're like, we gotta we gotta
Speaker 1: see Tom Hanks going, oh, gross, I.
Speaker 2: Kissed the dog.
Speaker 1: So he's very good at that sort of performance, but
Speaker 1: that performance was so necessary in this era that maybe
Speaker 1: isn't as needed anymore, and so that's what they forced
Speaker 1: him to be a super nice guy now, where he's like,
Speaker 1: I'm mister Rogers and nothing, or I'm in that.
Speaker 2: I'm Sully. Yeah, I'm Sully. I'm Sully Sullenberger, I'm American hero,
Speaker 2: Sully Sullenberg, Sully Sullenberg. Yes, yeah, I hated him in
Speaker 2: this movie with so much of all of my being
Speaker 2: terrible person. He was awful, I wanted.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was an old lech, he was moose.
Speaker 2: And you just knew he stank. Yeah, he said bad things. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and then and then and then at the end, we're
Speaker 2: supposed to be like god, I love them. Oh good,
Speaker 2: another season of him abusing women. Cool? Oh, Siana, you noted.
Speaker 2: So why aren't these guys at war? Leanna? Can you explain?
Speaker 1: Explain this? So you're you're you're resident war understander, especially
Speaker 1: in Gears in the past.
Speaker 2: As opposed to the Wars in the future. All the men,
Speaker 2: I do not know what's going to go on there.
Speaker 2: Don't ask me what's gonna happen. No. If I knew
Speaker 2: that the government would take me out to the ball.
Speaker 1: Okay, take me out to the SAMs. Wait, how does
Speaker 1: it go out back in the show?
Speaker 2: I think the guys, I think the show the theater.
Speaker 2: I think these guys were on leave or or every
Speaker 2: single one of them, like Tam Hanks, had no cartilage
Speaker 2: in their left knee. Yeah, okay, but I think most
Speaker 2: because a lot of them were in uniform, so I
Speaker 2: think they were just they're taking a break, so they're
Speaker 2: still horned up. Oh yeah, okay, oh yeah. Hello over
Speaker 2: the baby boom, do you do don't we recall? I
Speaker 2: do recall. I do recall Baby's boom.
Speaker 1: It had an effect on our world today. You know
Speaker 1: what I was thinking when hurt.
Speaker 2: This is such a this is I'm so sorry that
Speaker 2: I'm having this observation in my late twenties.
Speaker 1: Okay, for the first time. Her husband returns from war.
Speaker 2: Mm hmmm, her husband, Bill Pullman.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Bill Pullman.

Speaker 1: Jack Pullman is very very popular in the puppet community. No,
Speaker 1: he's a he's a very fun puppeteer. Oh my god.
Speaker 2: And Marvel Film really yeah, wow, they went different ways.
Speaker 1: So Bill Pullman will be at uh, will be at
Speaker 1: puppet events sometimes because he and his girlfriend wear like
Speaker 1: costumes too, just for fun, like to regular social events,
Speaker 1: like they'll be dressed like nights.
Speaker 2: Cool. Yeah, it's just it's more, it's just like they
Speaker 2: really went two separate directions with the suns. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Leanna, you said the ugly ones facial expressions
Speaker 1: are amazing.
Speaker 2: Marlaw, Yes, and you noted. I love Marlaw.
Speaker 1: I loved her.
Speaker 2: I loved her.
Speaker 1: They always have to have a character where they're like ooh,
Speaker 1: and they just make her go. They make her but
Speaker 1: her face was so funny.
Speaker 2: Did you know she's in Robin Hood men in tights. No,
Speaker 2: she's brune Hilda.
Speaker 1: Wow, I haven't seen that in forever.
Speaker 2: I hadn't either, but as soon as I saw a
Speaker 2: photo of her in it, I said, that's how I
Speaker 2: know her. She is so funny facial expressions when she
Speaker 2: the woman's like nurse maid.
Speaker 1: That's so funny. When they're looking for where she is
Speaker 1: and then we turn and turns out the singing has
Speaker 1: been sung by Barla the whole time. I loved her.
Speaker 2: I love this movie is all the Power of Hair,
Speaker 2: by the way, because the yeah, that's like gay and
Speaker 2: then they're.
Speaker 1: Like, well, let's just do their hair. We'll make them
Speaker 1: make away all their natural coolness and m hm, late Lehanna.
Speaker 1: I also thought about this during the movie. You said,
Speaker 1: he Tom Hanks is playing this character like it's Woody
Speaker 1: from Toy Story.
Speaker 2: I also, I was like, this is Woody. He was
Speaker 2: being so human man. Yeah, I think he got the
Speaker 2: voice for Woody from playing this role and realized, oh,
Speaker 2: I was playing a toy, an animated toy character who
Speaker 2: has to rally people and get mad, but as the
Speaker 2: body of a man. So it really didn't work in
Speaker 2: this and it was great in toy story. But you
Speaker 2: gotta know what genre you're in and that you are
Speaker 2: on screen yelling, yelling, we can see you, hear you.
Speaker 1: Oh, Leanna, this is a great point.
Speaker 2: You said.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, no one at this time had a
Speaker 1: sports bra. Oh you're so right. There's no way they
Speaker 1: would have taken into consideration, first of all, when it's comfort. Also,
Speaker 1: I am I don't even know when that became a
Speaker 1: common practice common.
Speaker 2: Plupart support for the Gorls. That's insane and it was
Speaker 2: so much running.
Speaker 1: Oh sorry, I missed a Bill Pullman note Leanna, who
Speaker 1: said Bill Pullman clapped my cheeks enough for me to
Speaker 1: return to the World Series.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I guess she's kind of like, yeah, we started driving
Speaker 1: and then I just say I came back.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she says, we made it to Yellowstone and then
Speaker 2: I don't know what. They turned around, and I really
Speaker 2: think it's like, Okay, I think we've had enough sex.
Speaker 2: I feel satiated enough for the for the time being,
Speaker 2: and I can go back for the last World Series game.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Bill Pullman. Bill Pullman, Bill Pullmans Bill pull
Speaker 2: so sufficiently that I can once again watch go catch Balls.
Speaker 2: He's watched Kelsey do a puppet show before Kelsey performed
Speaker 2: a Little Chicken puppet show and Bill Pullman showed up.
Speaker 2: How did Bill Pullman feel about it? Don't do we know?
Speaker 1: I didn't ask you.
Speaker 2: Gotta get eyes on Bill, Bill, He's just an institution.
Speaker 1: He is an institution.
Speaker 2: He really represents our societies in the fabric of our nation.
Speaker 1: Leanni said, Okay, apparently these are actual old women.
Speaker 2: Oh my god. Okay, Eliza and I went on a
Speaker 2: real damn journey with these old women. So the beginning
Speaker 2: of the movie, it's the nineties and these old women
Speaker 2: are going to the opening of the Baseball Hall of
Speaker 2: Fame sligh love because they played in the league. And
Speaker 2: then we flashed back to the past and I was like,
Speaker 2: oh my god. Oh. And then at the very end
Speaker 2: we go back to the future and it's all the
Speaker 2: old ladies again, and I was like, wait a second,
Speaker 2: this is just Geena Davis, Madonna and Rosie O'Donnell in
Speaker 2: old lady makeup.
Speaker 1: H huh.
Speaker 2: But it's not.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think Gena Davis is aging.
Speaker 2: No we googled it. We googled it thoroughly. What this is? What?
Speaker 2: I was such a roller coaster because in the beginning
Speaker 2: I was like, oh my god, rolls for women over
Speaker 2: sixty love that. And then I was like, oh, this
Speaker 2: sucks so much because they've just put these gorgeous young
Speaker 2: women into old lady makeup. And then I was like, wait, no,
Speaker 2: it is old ladies who are still gorgeous. By the way, Okay,
Speaker 2: I thought so much like her.
Speaker 1: I thought it was an aged up Gena Davis with
Speaker 1: the most amazing aging makeup I've ever seen. That's also
Speaker 1: what I saw, and that the rest were cast. But
Speaker 1: then every but then I was like, maybe here and
Speaker 1: there they aged somebody up. They did such an amazing
Speaker 1: job of casting this.
Speaker 2: This is where I'm like, in so many ways, the
Speaker 2: modern day is terrible because we used to for films,
Speaker 2: have to actually do a good job of casting people,
Speaker 2: and nowadays we would just use shitty CGI to age
Speaker 2: the actor up and have them play the old version
Speaker 2: of themselves. It's putting old people out of work, which
Speaker 2: you know, my stance on old people working, I think
Speaker 2: they need to be I get till the very end,
Speaker 2: I yess, so keep them in the in the workforce
Speaker 2: as long as possible.
Speaker 1: Wow, she looks so much like an aged Geena Davis.
Speaker 1: That's an amazing casting decision, I know.
Speaker 2: And then we saw a photo of that actress when
Speaker 2: she was young, and wow, wow, wie wow, I'm looking
Speaker 2: at it right now, Lynn Cartwright, are you a woga?
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's amazing.
Speaker 2: It was so I was. I was shocked.
Speaker 1: That's one of my badges, is the casting they did.
Speaker 2: But wow, well, we'll get into badges really quickly. But Siena,
Speaker 2: I have to talk about this note. You didn't bowld it,
Speaker 2: but we must discuss you've written does anybody have any
Speaker 2: extra hose? But you've spelled hose h o s. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's how I thought it was spelled at first, A
Speaker 2: panty hose and a panty hose. And you caught me
Speaker 2: because I even thought about it for quite.
Speaker 1: Some time after. I was like, people always say, do
Speaker 1: you have any hoes? But it's weird that panty hose
Speaker 1: would be panty hose has to be plural of something.
Speaker 2: Wait, let's go back to people always say do you
Speaker 2: have any hoes? What? I don't know.
Speaker 1: My mom says that where are you? Or you know,
Speaker 1: I've seen a number of retro movies.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Do you remember that person who kept saying that though
Speaker 1: no there Actually I was like, I'm not gonna I know,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be able to remember it later. But
Speaker 1: I think they had sort of like what would it
Speaker 1: sound like to say, in like a Midwest accent? Does
Speaker 1: anybody have any panty hose? Does anybody have any hose?
Speaker 1: Does anyone have any panty hose? I think it was
Speaker 1: like supposed to be the Canadian one kind of does
Speaker 1: anybody have any hose? Does anybody have any panty hose?
Speaker 1: It was really funny.
Speaker 2: That's me on a night out. Anybody have any extra hose?
Speaker 2: Could I have one?
Speaker 1: Lee?
Speaker 2: May I have one? How? May I have a howl
Speaker 2: panty hose?
Speaker 1: Leoni? Your final note is work AA GPB L man.
Speaker 2: That acronym does not roll off the tongue. All American
Speaker 2: Girls Professional Baseball League? Why girls? Bag? Pebool?
Speaker 1: Why girls? Why not women?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 1: Baby?
Speaker 2: Yeah? See, I know. Let's get into our badges and
Speaker 2: trages where we award badges for baseball and trages for
Speaker 2: Tom Hanks yelling about baseball.
Speaker 1: There's no crying in baseball.
Speaker 2: I love your Tom Hanks impression.
Speaker 1: Thanks. I stole it from my brother who just screamed, okay,
Speaker 1: are you an incredibly tall woman. You must be an
Speaker 1: mpath We'll be right back. My first badge is for sisters.
Speaker 1: I went on a movie about sisters.
Speaker 2: And then those sisters did not get along like at all.
Speaker 2: I was waiting for them to be, like, we fight,
Speaker 2: but we love each other.
Speaker 1: They kind of didn't. But that's for tragics.
Speaker 2: Yeah, first badge of sisters as a vibe badge for
Speaker 2: will Lammette, Oregon, nineteen forty three. Thank you, thank you
Speaker 2: for a title card. Thank you badge for that.
Speaker 1: Cannot be the second badge I gave my second badges.
Speaker 1: Does anyone have any extra hoes?
Speaker 2: No? Well, I guess okay. Oh, I gotta give a
Speaker 2: badge for John Lovett's He stole the show at the
Speaker 2: beginning of this week.
Speaker 1: He was really funny. I kept going, I just I'm
Speaker 1: all funny. I'll give a badge for him too. Watching him,
Speaker 1: I was just like, some people just have it.
Speaker 2: He's got it. All of his lines are gonna be
Speaker 2: my should you watch my how to Pretend? Segment? Oh?
Speaker 2: My god, he was so funny.
Speaker 1: It's just naturally just wow. I was cracking up. I
Speaker 1: was watching it with my roomates quote unquote, but they
Speaker 1: were all on their laptops, so I was just sitting
Speaker 1: watching it, and I kept going.
Speaker 2: A badge for messy hair. At the first game, the
Speaker 2: softball game. At the beginning, all the gurlies hairs are messy.
Speaker 2: I said, thank you, cinema, very tay.
Speaker 1: I have a badge for the athleticism, similar to last week.
Speaker 1: I just loved watching It was really fun watching these
Speaker 1: girls just hit after hit.
Speaker 2: Right. He made baseball look very easy. Okay.
Speaker 1: One of the reasons I could never do softball long
Speaker 1: term is because eventually they'd make you slide a lot.
Speaker 1: And sliding is actually a very complex physical feat m
Speaker 1: because you're running and you have to suddenly get low
Speaker 1: and go backwards or get low and go forwards. And
Speaker 1: I could never get my body to do it. I remember, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think you'll understand what I mean when I say
Speaker 1: there was a day in high school and so I
Speaker 1: don't know how I managed to like not do this.
Speaker 1: There was a day at practice where I was told
Speaker 1: to where our coach made us all line up and
Speaker 1: practice sliding, and it was I remember just being like,
Speaker 1: I am in a nightmare because I don't know how
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do that. I'm going to get up there
Speaker 1: and my body's not gonna get low, like.
Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't know. I think I have
Speaker 2: a better understand floor.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get out there and my body's not gonna
Speaker 1: get down. She's not gonna get loh. I yeah, I
Speaker 1: think I have a better understanding of my body now.
Speaker 1: At the time, a gawky high schooler, I'm like, I'm tall.
Speaker 1: I can't just get down on the ground.
Speaker 2: I don't know. We are way too high off the
Speaker 2: I use your knees?
Speaker 1: Do I use my arms? Do we What are we
Speaker 1: supposed to use?
Speaker 2: I think you're supposed to use either of the four, but.
Speaker 1: I didn't have access to that at the time. I
Speaker 1: only recently discovered I had one.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, what were you using instead? Was it your
Speaker 2: head backsterings my back and my handy back my back?
Speaker 1: Not my hammies anyway, I'm just not in my hammy.
Speaker 2: It's a horror show.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I tried to discuss that I needed to
Speaker 1: discuss that trauma at some point.
Speaker 2: Oh, a badge for acknowledging it is Madonna. And that
Speaker 2: is in reference to the scene where she comes out
Speaker 2: of the confessional and then the pastor what is he
Speaker 2: the priest? The priest. The priest also comes out, but
Speaker 2: he's sweating, and then Madonna crosses herself and winks at
Speaker 2: the two boys who were staring at her, and I said,
Speaker 2: thank you, Madonna. That's Madonna. It's Madonna, you guys.
Speaker 1: I have a badge for the fans. I thought it
Speaker 1: was really cute. Once there are fans are like number
Speaker 1: twenty two.
Speaker 2: Yeah, do we love you? Uh huh. A badge honestly
Speaker 2: for that sick sigh bruise. Oh yeah that woman gets
Speaker 2: from the slide.
Speaker 1: Uh huh.
Speaker 2: I said, yes, little as hell.
Speaker 1: Badge for.
Speaker 2: Has anyone seen my red hat? That's my next batch. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that was common Eliza and I left so hard at
Speaker 2: that because the two sisters are arguing and then there's
Speaker 2: an awkward silence, and then this woman comes in and goes,
Speaker 2: has anyone seen my new red friend?
Speaker 1: She's so happy about it. Has anyone seen my new
Speaker 1: red hat?
Speaker 2: I want that woman to get an award. I don't
Speaker 2: know what for just best line reading in a film,
Speaker 2: the whole movie worth it. Oh my god, it was
Speaker 2: so funny. Has anyone seen my new red hat?
Speaker 1: My next note is for Rosie and her dad. I
Speaker 1: loved when her dad came in and he's just like, Rosie,
Speaker 1: Oh that's.
Speaker 2: Who that was. Yeah, He's like, I'm gonna take buy
Speaker 2: her a steak dinner. I'm gonna I'm gonna buy my
Speaker 2: daughter a steak dinner. And then later they're hanging out
Speaker 2: by the bus and she's like, Dad, we're gonna get
Speaker 2: steak badge for newspaper montages to show us how the
Speaker 2: world series is going. Thank you.
Speaker 1: That was cute badge for the extremely well cast older
Speaker 1: versions of themselves. I mean that has to get like
Speaker 1: three badges. It's really impressive. You are you're going to
Speaker 1: double take.
Speaker 2: I've got a badge for these old ladies, and it's
Speaker 2: a layered badge where it's like super great casting roles
Speaker 2: for women over sixty in a film. And the footage
Speaker 2: in the credits where the old ladies were playing baseball
Speaker 2: made me wonder if those were actually women who'd been
Speaker 2: in the league in the forties. Oh yeah, in which case,
Speaker 2: Slay Mama's sleay. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And then finally a badge for just a movie about
Speaker 1: the history and it's by woman and and I love baseball. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I love baseball from this perspective, especially where we get
Speaker 1: to see them do some baseball plays. But it's all
Speaker 1: really just the best parts and you don't have to
Speaker 1: wait the whole time. Baseball is too long, and they're
Speaker 1: the Girlina's the Girlina's My final badge is a badge
Speaker 1: for no love story between Gina and Tam Honks. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's true.
Speaker 2: I liked that they had kind of like a working
Speaker 2: respect between the two of them, but she had to
Speaker 2: go get her cheeks clapped by Bill Pulman because it
Speaker 2: was the nineties, because it was the nineties. Tragis tragic.
Speaker 1: Main trage for this film is that, Yeah, Gina Davis
Speaker 1: kind of her character kind of flops.
Speaker 2: A number of times. I don't know, I think that's
Speaker 2: a great point. But she.
Speaker 1: You're never really clear on what she wants. Like sometimes
Speaker 1: people ask here, like why do do you want to
Speaker 1: be here? But she doesn't really answer it. She's like, no,
Speaker 1: I want to have kids, and it's like do you.
Speaker 1: Because people also pointed out that you love to be here,
Speaker 1: And maybe it's supposed to be nuanced in that way
Speaker 1: where she's like, no, I do. I have a plan
Speaker 1: to have my family, and that's what I've decided I want.
Speaker 1: Even though I enjoy this, I don't need it to
Speaker 1: be my life, you know, like she really she's the
Speaker 1: best in the league and she just doesn't want to
Speaker 1: do it for as long as everyone Yeah, but yeah.
Speaker 1: And then also later when Tom Hanks is like, does
Speaker 1: your husband know how good you are? She's like, how
Speaker 1: good am I? He's like, you got to know you're
Speaker 1: the best in the league. She's like, oh, I don't know,
Speaker 1: like you would know. Just be the best and do it.
Speaker 1: But it sort of this melancholy like the plight of women,
Speaker 1: even when you have it in your grasp. You've been,
Speaker 1: you've you've already you're given the option to have another life.
Speaker 1: But you're like, I'm gonna go. I think I should
Speaker 1: just go start a family, which is also her right
Speaker 1: and okay, but it was kind of it was it
Speaker 1: was a bummer mm hmm, bummed me out.
Speaker 2: Trage for the font that the movie title was in
Speaker 2: at the beginning, I could not read that. I could
Speaker 2: I really couldn't even see it.
Speaker 1: I don't remember, not at all.
Speaker 2: Oh, it was two different fonts and both were terrible.
Speaker 1: Trag for the sisters. Don't actually they're not. It's it's
Speaker 1: beyond just like fun rivalry and we love each other.
Speaker 2: To the point that like I was like, Kid's gonna
Speaker 2: kill herself.
Speaker 1: I think they really, Yeah, Kit hated her sister and
Speaker 1: her life and her life. And then later when.
Speaker 2: They fairness, Kid's whole family hated her. Yeah, it's like, no,
Speaker 2: wonder you went out again. It was kind of a bummer.
Speaker 1: It wasn't really like how sisters are I think, but
Speaker 1: you know, maybe some.
Speaker 2: Trage for whatever. This song is the song at the
Speaker 2: very beginning when they're driving and it's it's aerial footage
Speaker 2: of them. Oh god, it was so early nineties, still
Speaker 2: being haunted by the memory of the nineteen eighties, bad bad,
Speaker 2: bad music.
Speaker 1: Trag for these are historical trages now. I love that
Speaker 1: they show them. Yeah, but tragural first of all, very
Speaker 1: very white.
Speaker 2: Of course, that's my next trash trade for inherently white.
Speaker 1: I'm sure that's how it was at the time. And
Speaker 1: they do have a shot where they're like a black
Speaker 1: woman throw us a ball, and that's kind of I
Speaker 1: think what that was kind of doing was like we're
Speaker 1: reference were acknowledging the fact that this is coming in
Speaker 1: the future and that the years, like women of color
Speaker 1: aren't included in this history at this time, even though
Speaker 1: they should be.
Speaker 2: You know, Eliza's theory was that was the director's way
Speaker 2: of getting that in against the studio's wishes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good that's an interesting thought. Yeah, it did.
Speaker 1: At first, I was like, oh, this is so nineties
Speaker 1: in like eye roll, and it is. But also I'm like,
Speaker 1: I guess at the time, this is like they're one
Speaker 1: way of saying like, hey, remember that there are also
Speaker 1: other women who we don't see right now in this
Speaker 1: historical whatever. So that's that's kind of cool in its
Speaker 1: in its limited way, because it felt it did feel
Speaker 1: really like okay, but they were not women of color,
Speaker 1: weren't allowed on this team and then or would just
Speaker 1: never ever be included in something where they wanted to
Speaker 1: make a lot of money, and then the history of
Speaker 1: the Purity is like so creepy. In the song they're
Speaker 1: like little song that they sing to commemorate everything, there's
Speaker 1: a that's like our chaperones are wonderful because girls are
Speaker 1: supposed to be just like watched over and kept so
Speaker 1: pure and they're not allowed to go out with men
Speaker 1: and they're not allowed you know. It's just like, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was just so creepy that that was a part
Speaker 1: of the culture that even in the song they want
Speaker 1: to make people so comfortable that they're so happy that
Speaker 1: they're being chaperone. That was just so creepy, because I'm
Speaker 1: sure that's the real song.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Oh, a trage for I'm sorry I hate Tom
Speaker 2: Hanks in this He's horrible. Oh, a horrible guy. There
Speaker 2: was nothing likable about this character or the way that
Speaker 2: he was played. He was me, what the hell.
Speaker 1: Was that he was drunk? He was like, I'm not
Speaker 1: going to drink, and then he drank a lot and
Speaker 1: was horrible.
Speaker 2: Ugh, those are all my trages, my final two trages,
Speaker 2: or are a trage for I'm sorry, I hate it.
Speaker 2: I was not down with Kit's whole vibe. I was like, girl,
Speaker 2: you have a lot of work that you need to
Speaker 2: do by yourself. Yeah, because we're making it everyone else's
Speaker 2: problem and it really is your own insecurities.
Speaker 1: They didn't really hug and love each other until they.
Speaker 2: Were very old ninety Yeah, and that my final trage
Speaker 2: is a trage that Kit had a thousand children like
Speaker 2: she was a sports stars. But yeah, it is like
Speaker 2: what that's what Geena Davis's character wanted. It should have
Speaker 2: been the reverse, like she should have been swimming in
Speaker 2: children and grandchildren. That's like the life she said she wanted,
Speaker 2: which I guess.
Speaker 1: Was kind of like the surprise, but it's also like, yeah,
Speaker 1: so Davis just waste her life to have two boys.
Speaker 2: No, she had one daughter who then had two. It's
Speaker 2: even worse.
Speaker 1: Hey, at least she had a daughter. That's kind of nice.
Speaker 1: I guess Gilmore girls. But there's a guy there, her dad, William.
Speaker 1: Should we move on to our next segment, yes, which is,
Speaker 1: of course, how to pretend you've seen this film. This
Speaker 1: is before you were in the dugout. You're about to
Speaker 1: go crack the bat, hit some hit, some hit some
Speaker 1: balls and uh was Tom Hanks's name?
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I don't even know. Whenever he was
Speaker 2: on screen, I said, Jimmy dugg In, Okay, dugan Jimmy.
Speaker 1: Jimmy wanders into the dugout. He says, oh, hey, I
Speaker 1: was just watching the game and thought I'd come over
Speaker 1: here give you some tips and go what no, no, no,
Speaker 1: no no. I'm just here playing with my friends on
Speaker 1: my company softball team. And he goes, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: I have some tips for you. Boy, oh boy, oh boy.
Speaker 1: Actually this reminds me of a film with I think
Speaker 1: you'd like it because there's a lot of girls in it.
Speaker 1: It's the time they tried to make a women's baseball team,
Speaker 1: and you go, they have softball leagues out there's very popular,
Speaker 1: very very popular. Many first because no, no, no, no, this
Speaker 1: is the one time they tried it and they stopped
Speaker 1: doing it after that. And I'm going to tell you
Speaker 1: all about that movie.
Speaker 2: And in order to strike Jimmy out of this conversation,
Speaker 2: we're gonna give you a few sentences you can say
Speaker 2: to pretend you've seen the film A League of their Own. Yes, Jimmy,
Speaker 2: I've seen A League of their Own. And I turned
Speaker 2: my back on him and the rest of the crew
Speaker 2: that he's slunk up to me with, and I say,
Speaker 2: so long, old maids, John Love dresses.
Speaker 1: The two sisters being made funny. This is very interesting
Speaker 1: on many levels. Yes, Jimmy, I have seen the film
Speaker 1: A League of their Own. During filming of the World
Speaker 1: Series Games, stars took turns entertaining the unpaid extras, so
Speaker 1: the extras were paid for being in the in the crowds.
Speaker 1: But there were so many stars. Tom Hanks did puppet
Speaker 1: shows over the dugout. Tom did puppet shows, of course,
Speaker 1: he did. Rosie o'donald did stand up comedy, and various
Speaker 1: actors pretended to be Madonna and sang her songs after
Speaker 1: she said she wouldn't do that.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, Wow, that's perfect. That's perfect for all
Speaker 2: parties involved, especially Madonna.
Speaker 1: That's really cute and funny.
Speaker 2: Oh, Jimmy, you must stop talking about film like it's
Speaker 2: your job. You know, if I had your job, I'd
Speaker 2: kill myself. Nuggets of gold from John Lovitz's character.
Speaker 1: Uh, yes, Jimmy, I have seen the film A League
Speaker 1: of their Own. If it wasn't clear already, this was
Speaker 1: based on true events. The storyline was inspired by the
Speaker 1: career of baseball legend Dottie Collins. Dottie during World War Two,
Speaker 1: she played for the All American Girls Professional Baseball League
Speaker 1: and pitched seventeen shutouts during her six year career. So
Speaker 1: I guess she played for longer. It's interesting that they
Speaker 1: made her choose family.
Speaker 2: Well, it was nineteen ninety two.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just don't It's hard for me to understand
Speaker 1: what they were making the statement about.
Speaker 2: But anyway, yeah, so I was hot off the Reagan
Speaker 2: years of family values. Right, it was very little for
Speaker 2: women to do in the nation's eye.
Speaker 1: But anyway, let it be remembered that women have been
Speaker 1: amazing at sports forever. We just didn't see it for
Speaker 1: a long time.
Speaker 2: Yes, Jimmy, shut up. I'm using my time in front
Speaker 2: of you to retroactively insert another badge that I have
Speaker 2: for the film, which is when the owner or financier
Speaker 2: of the Peaches comments on the crowd and says, look
Speaker 2: at them. Wait, where is it? Comments on the crowd's enthusiasm,
Speaker 2: saying dead jumping deaar hopping this Chicago man, dad jumping
Speaker 2: loved So go away, Jimmy, And of course it's been
Speaker 2: a thin slice of heaven good bye.
Speaker 1: Everything he said was so funny.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, honestly, dream role. You're in the movie
Speaker 2: for the first like maybe thirty minutes. As you mentioned,
Speaker 2: you steal the whole film, and then you leave. You're done.
Speaker 1: Oh my god. Wait, people really hurt themselves filming this movie. Oh,
Speaker 1: I believe that the bruise was real.
Speaker 2: Oh work, at.
Speaker 1: Least they were like, let's put it in the movie.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because this is the I just looked it up.
Speaker 1: To make sure it was. That's insane, that's awesome, that's
Speaker 1: so crazy. The Uh yes, Jimmy, I've seen the film.
Speaker 1: I've seen the film. A leave of their own. People
Speaker 1: really hurt themselves while doing this movie. The strawberry bruise
Speaker 1: that Renee Coleman received, that big bruise in that scene
Speaker 1: was real, and she was uh, it was on her
Speaker 1: thigh for almost for over a year. There was a remain.
Speaker 1: There were some amazings of the bruise. And then somebody else,
Speaker 1: Anne Ramsey broke her nose with a baseball mit trying
Speaker 1: to catch a ball. I mean it was a very
Speaker 1: very physical movie. Yeah, yes, okay, Wait, one last one,
Speaker 1: last piece of trivia. John Lovetz was so into one
Speaker 1: scene that he didn't notice a cow giving birth off
Speaker 1: camera while filming kind of a piece of trivia.
Speaker 2: Is that? Oh my god, Oh god, he's got my
Speaker 2: dream life. He's he's stealing the show. He's so funny
Speaker 2: he is, he's getting paid to be funny, and he's
Speaker 2: not seeing a cow give birth.
Speaker 1: He's you vibe.
Speaker 2: I want all of that for myself.
Speaker 1: In wandering in and just having funny, funny uh quips.
Speaker 2: If I had your job, I'd kill nice. I can't
Speaker 2: believe he was allowed to say that in nineteen ninety two. Okay,
Speaker 2: here's some other facts on John lovetz Is. He found
Speaker 2: out that Madonna had checked into their hotel under a
Speaker 2: pseudonym because he was obviously so famous at the time,
Speaker 2: and so then he was like, I want to do
Speaker 2: a pseudonym too, so he registered under the name Edna.
Speaker 1: Pooha, do you do.
Speaker 2: So stupid? Yes? Don okay, Moleana.
Speaker 1: Shall we move on to our next segment, which is,
Speaker 1: of course, should you watch this or where we tell
Speaker 1: you if you should watch the movie or spend your
Speaker 1: time spend your innings doing something else. Leanna, what do
Speaker 1: you think?
Speaker 2: Oh? Oh man, this is a tough one because I
Speaker 2: hated Tom Hanks his performance in this so much that
Speaker 2: I really think it made me not really enjoy the film.
Speaker 2: So I would say, maybe instead you could watch the
Speaker 2: TV series version of A Give their Own Love, because
Speaker 2: it's more gay, and they they actually gave a speaking.
Speaker 1: Role to a black person, Like, she doesn't say anything,
Speaker 1: she throws the ball and nods solemnly.
Speaker 2: But I haven't actually watched it, so I can't vouch
Speaker 2: for that. If it's bad, it's not my fault. But
Speaker 2: I don't think it's bad. I think it got very
Speaker 2: good reviews. Yeah, I want to see you know, what
Speaker 2: would you say?
Speaker 1: Also, I found out my roommate made the graphic of
Speaker 1: the title oh that you find on So Catherine, Oh
Speaker 1: my god, who's gay?
Speaker 2: See what I mean? Much more gay than the movie.
Speaker 1: It's honestly true already.
Speaker 2: Isn't that cool? Though?
Speaker 1: She was like, oh, who made the who made the
Speaker 1: title for that? And I was like, wait, who did
Speaker 1: make make up for that's?
Speaker 2: What? What the hell? That's crazy?
Speaker 1: Say Catherine, I would say, I think this movie was
Speaker 1: a fun time. If you're trying to watch a really
Speaker 1: nineties film. It was directed by a woman, and there's
Speaker 1: it's all about female athleticism, and it really is fun
Speaker 1: mm hmm.
Speaker 2: It's about an interesting historical fact.
Speaker 1: It was a lot more. It was even cuter than
Speaker 1: I remembered it being. So Oh, I like enjoyed it
Speaker 1: more than I even thought I would. I thought it
Speaker 1: was gonna be more kind of boring and lame.
Speaker 2: But that's nice.
Speaker 1: You could also watch Jeena Davis and anything else. You
Speaker 1: would go on Geena Davis's Instagram and see all the
Speaker 1: people that.
Speaker 2: She Sorry what I just made myself laugh.
Speaker 1: You could uh go watch Geena Davis.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: Or you could go look at Geena Davis's foundation and
Speaker 1: see all the cool stuff she does and go look
Speaker 1: at the people that she supports. Or you could watch
Speaker 1: stort Little, which she is a tall queen as well.
Speaker 1: Of course stort Little's big.
Speaker 2: Mom Oh my god, it is a tall family.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think that's part of the joke, is that
Speaker 1: they get like the.
Speaker 2: Tall Yeah, the littles right, little high little hell.
Speaker 1: She's so tall, she's six feet tall.
Speaker 2: What she's six feet tall? This woman is so important,
Speaker 2: she's huge, She's enormous. She's huge. Well, Leontima of their own.
Speaker 2: I I would give a league of their own. Man,
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. Two point five Bill Pullman's out of five.
Speaker 2: I didn't really care about that. I you know, I
Speaker 2: think I love the story. I think the story is
Speaker 2: very cool, albeit white, white I think. I think Gina
Speaker 2: Davis is so beautiful, and I loved a lot of
Speaker 2: the actors in it. I thought Madonna Slade, oh my god,
Speaker 2: and of course Marla as well. But man Tom Hanks
Speaker 2: was so overbearing in it and so fucking loud and awful,
Speaker 2: and the music sucked, and it was so nineties. And
Speaker 2: that scene where the postman delivers news of one of
Speaker 2: the women's husbands dying with absolutely like sociopath levels of
Speaker 2: that made me no emotion. That made me laugh. Oh
Speaker 2: my god, I haven't read as many war novels as you.
Speaker 2: He came in and he was I know, somebody's shoot,
Speaker 2: I have to do this delivering of people. Name your
Speaker 2: husband's insane.
Speaker 1: I can't find the name.
Speaker 2: It was nuts. See, I know, what would you rate
Speaker 2: the film?
Speaker 1: I would give this film. I think I'm gonna give
Speaker 1: it three point eight uh Cracks of the Bat out
Speaker 1: of five. I actually really enjoyed it. It was even
Speaker 1: cuter than I remember. It's like, I think it'd be
Speaker 1: a fun film to watch with the family, Like I'd
Speaker 1: sit down and watch it with my fam and have
Speaker 1: a good time. It's from the time of the nineties
Speaker 1: where not only is it white. But there's like a
Speaker 1: lot of just little implicit jokes about like someone that
Speaker 1: are ugly and some aren't yep, and like sexual harass me. Yeah, like.
Speaker 2: Slapping the woman's butt a bunch, like the kind of
Speaker 2: serious manager woman and it's like, oh, but she.
Speaker 1: Loves it because she's never gets to let loose. And
Speaker 1: it's and then like there's a few women that are
Speaker 1: like there's uh, there's a few fat women in it
Speaker 1: that they like only use as a joke and not
Speaker 1: in a really explicit way. But I'm like, I don't, like,
Speaker 1: I know that you're not. I know that you're like
Speaker 1: here are the beautiful women. And even though we're making
Speaker 1: jokes about like ooh she's ugly and obviously nobody was,
Speaker 1: it just is like I know that you actually do.
Speaker 1: At this era, it's when they thought everyone was fat
Speaker 1: and that that was bad. Just like yeah, it's sickening,
Speaker 1: so yep, you can feel that. But besides that, it
Speaker 1: was actually quick, that's it's not You can also tell
Speaker 1: that it's directed by a woman because m I will
Speaker 1: say that wasn't the major feeling to me. It's just
Speaker 1: like there are certain it bums me out when there's like, oh,
Speaker 1: we have to include this, like someone's there make out
Speaker 1: with the with the old man. Yeah yeah, but you
Speaker 1: got to see women being so sporty and it's yeah fun.
Speaker 1: Maybe I want to go to the batting cages.
Speaker 2: Wow, I'd love to see you in a batting cage.
