• 0:42
  Lunechrist and I'm Boog and we're the Evidendorsment. Hello everyone, How are you
• 0:50
  good? I'm pretty good. I feel full of allergies today to be oh
• 0:54
  no, I am. But they're the seasonal ones, not the food death
• 0:58
  ones. So that's a plus that it's a big plus. If we have
• 1:00
  to go with allergies, let's go for those ones. All these plants are
• 1:04
  out here just having an orgy like they do. Bloody plants. You know
• 1:10
  what sucks those I don't feel like I had these when I was younger,
• 1:12
  and now I'm getting these and it just seems like a little bit of an
• 1:15
  ne fhew being that I have all the food allergies, right like rude,
• 1:21
  you know, just rude. That is rude. I don't like this.
• 1:23
  Fine, I don't like that. Man. When I get these Now,
• 1:26
  I sneeze forever. I bet I've sneezed one hundred times to day. And
• 1:30
  I don't think I'm being facetious at all, Like I just I will just
• 1:36
  sneeze for hours. My abs are toast right now. Hey, n nobody
• 1:44
  will ever see them. But they hurt, but they hurt. But yes,
• 1:49
  ultimately I'm very well. How are you? I am doing very well
• 1:53
  as well. Yeah, it's been good. Been back home for a few
• 1:57
  days. We had a great three weeks a tour. They were fun,
• 2:05
  and I got this Patsy Cline tribute coming up next, which I'm very excited
• 2:10
  for. Man, is that like a like is that going to be on
• 2:15
  TV or anything? Or is that it is supposed to be on TV?
• 2:17
  Yeah, it's at the Rhyman Auditorium and I think currently it is going to
• 2:23
  be on PBS at some point. But the names, man, the names
• 2:27
  that are going to be at this thing are just that well, Patsy is
• 2:30
  like the best. So yeah, So one thing we're trying to do,
• 2:34
  Rita Wilson is going to be there, and so we're really hoping her husband
• 2:38
  comes there, and we are trying to shoehorn ourselves into possibly singing back up
• 2:46
  to Rita Wilson just in case. I love that. I love that.
• 2:52
  It would be amazing to meet Rita Wilson. She's been in so many amazing
• 2:54
  movies that I've enjoyed. But that would be crazy. So many good people
• 3:00
  in this thing, man, I'm just I'm shocked, and we're honestly some
• 3:04
  of the only males there. Yeah, it's kind of fun though. Yeah,
• 3:10
  it'll be really fun. Yeah. Man, that's gonna be crazy.
• 3:14
  It's gonna be crazy. And that's coming up next and then we have like
• 3:16
  three more shows and then I'm home for a while. So how exciting it
• 3:21
  is exciting sometime per summer. Yeah, it's gonna be good summer. Yeah,
• 3:25
  I love it. Man. That sounds great. That sounds great to
• 3:29
  Have you been watching any movies lately? I have. I went to the
• 3:32
  theater and I saw a movie called Snack Shock. Have you ever heard of
• 3:37
  this? Prob? No, I know, it sounds like it's straight out
• 3:42
  of the eighties. Honestly, is this another like one that you didn't hear
• 3:46
  about until what is it called screen unseen? It's not one of those I
• 3:51
  had. Someone had said they were interested in seeing it, and I was
• 3:54
  like, yeah, I'll go see that, and honestly, it is.
• 3:59
  It is an eighty movie because I think it's an early nineties movie technically,
• 4:03
  but it's a coming of age story about two friends and they're kind of like
• 4:09
  entrepreneurs. And it was really good. I actually really liked it a lot.
• 4:13
  It had a ton more heart than I was expecting. I thought it
• 4:16
  was just gonna be kind of a raunchy ra or raunchy comedy kind of thing
• 4:21
  because it's rated R. I believe, Yeah, rated R, so that's
• 4:26
  kind of what I thought I was getting into. But it's in Nebraska City,
• 4:30
  Nebraska in nineteen ninety one, and these two entrepreneurs end up they're like
• 4:36
  brewing beer at the beginning, and then they get caught, so then they
• 4:40
  they bit it out and work at the snackshack and it's all the chaos that
• 4:44
  ensues from there. But it's pretty great. I had a fun time.
• 4:47
  The only real people I knew, and I don't even know if I knew.
• 4:51
  I had to look it up, but that Gabriel LaBelle from The Fableman's
• 4:56
  was in it, okay, kid from the Fablemen okay, and he was
• 5:01
  good. And then I recognized Nick Robinson but I don't I want to without
• 5:06
  seeing his name, and then a couple of the adults. But it's pretty
• 5:11
  much like no name folks for the most part. It was written and directed
• 5:15
  by Adam ray Meyer, who also hasn't done a lot of other stuff,
• 5:19
  which is kind of fun. So it's just so many names I've never heard
• 5:24
  before, I know, isn't that strange? Though. It's kind of fun
• 5:27
  though, to like get some new blood in there. And sure, yeah,
• 5:30
  I thought everyone was great. There's a gallont called Mika Abdallah and she
• 5:34
  is just so cool and so sexy. It's really fun. Hell yeah it
• 5:42
  was. It was a good time. I liked it a lot. I
• 5:44
  don't even think it was in theaters for like a minute, and I just
• 5:47
  happened to catch it. So I'm sure it'll be on a streamer at some
• 5:51
  point, but I don't think it's available anywhere yet, So okay, keep
• 5:56
  an eye out. It'd be a worthwhile watch. I think you'd like it.
• 5:59
  Specific cool. Thank you to enjoy but yeah, that's what I watched.
• 6:02
  How about you, what have you seen lately? Well, I went
• 6:04
  to the streaming services. I hadn't been to a movie for a while.
• 6:10
  I saw a civil war like we talked about, well right, and I
• 6:13
  did see doing Part two again to get caught up, but nothing outside of
• 6:17
  yeah, exactly. Yeah. So I've been on the A twenty four movie
• 6:21
  kick, like I've expressed, And if anyone else is interested in doing this,
• 6:28
  HBO Max has a whole section on their homepage that are all A twenty
• 6:31
  four films. So just throwing that out, just I should just start looking
• 6:34
  for someone. I'm looking for a movie. It's a good Yeah, I
• 6:38
  love it. So I decided to watch the documentary on Oasis called Oasis super
• 6:43
  Nova. Oh yeah. I didn't know much about Oasis besides the fact that
• 6:48
  the two main singers were brothers and they were controversial and broke up pretty early.
• 6:56
  But it was fun to see their story and how fast they rose to
• 7:00
  fame and how quickly they burned out. It was really impressive. Noel Gallagher
• 7:05
  seems to be just a genius songwriter, yeah, and could make an entire
• 7:11
  song in just a few hours, and like some of their biggest songs,
• 7:15
  Nuts and Liam was this like naturally talented performer that had a lot of issues
• 7:21
  and they definitely use some drugs and got into trouble and like nightmare to deal
• 7:28
  with, right, Like, yeah, I mean I think they I think
• 7:30
  they both both are in their own way. Yeah, okay, but it
• 7:33
  was very interesting just to see how all that came together and how it all
• 7:39
  fell apart. And it's worth checking. It's really well done. And yeah,
• 7:45
  it was fun to learn more about this band. Very cool. Yeah,
• 7:47
  I don't know anything about them basically, so that's kind of sweet.
• 7:50
  Nice. That was cool. Love it, love it, very cool.
• 7:54
  Have you been streaming anything? Yeah, I streamed on HBO Max Best Picture
• 8:00
  Winner. I watched Argo again because it I don't seen it the one time,
• 8:05
  and I was like, I remember really liking this. That movie is
• 8:09
  fantastic, dude, it's so fun, so good. Uh. Yeah,
• 8:13
  I don't really have like a lot of like, you know, earth shattering
• 8:18
  things to say. Other things. The cast is crazy stacked. You know,
• 8:22
  you got Benny Affleck, Brian Kranston, John kun the big thing he
• 8:26
  got the snub he didn't get up for Best Director for that oh that it
• 8:31
  was up for best well one, best picture, and he's one of the
• 8:35
  directing debut. No, no, he did Gone, Baby Gone, that's
• 8:39
  right, that was before that. Yeah, yeah, but that was the
• 8:43
  big thing with that. For some reason, Argo lives in a space in
• 8:46
  my brain where it feels like it's much much older than it is. I
• 8:50
  don't know why exactly. It's set back then, you know, that's probably
• 8:54
  and it's I mean it's twenty twelve, so it is relatively old already at
• 8:58
  this boy, But but yeah, I don't know why. But yeah,
• 9:01
  that is crazy because it's it's super compelling, dude, Like it's cased really
• 9:07
  well for you know, a movie that is not necessarily all that crazy action
• 9:13
  packed. Like a lot of the action is like the intrigue and the politically
• 9:16
  kind of stuff, right, So that can be a little tough. But
• 9:20
  yeah, I thought he did a great job. And I loved everybody in
• 9:24
  this. I thought they were all just so fun. It was a really
• 9:26
  fun rewatch. I had a good time. Yeah, it's fun. Yeah.
• 9:30
  I was just kind of like, I haven't seen this in a while,
• 9:31
  and I was like, yeah, let's just do it. And it
• 9:33
  was it was fantastic, fantastic. Yeah, how about you? Though even
• 9:37
  streaming I have been streaming things. I decided just decided, I've decided to
• 9:46
  start Yellowstone now that nobody is talking about it anymore and that I missed the
• 9:52
  wave on it completely. Anybody, anybody, any anybody else? No,
• 9:58
  it's a me. They've made like three different spinoffs at this point, and
• 10:03
  I'm just starting seas actual show is five or six and is still going.
• 10:11
  It's that I don't know. I don't know either. It doesn't matter,
• 10:15
  but yeah, it took me a long time to get into it, and
• 10:18
  it's pretty good. It's it's created by Taylor Sheridan, who we've enjoyed in
• 10:22
  the past with Hell or High Water and When River as well as other things.
• 10:26
  Really impressive cast with Kevin Costner is the patriarch of this Dutton family.
• 10:33
  Not a ton of big names, but people you recognize, like Kelly Riley
• 10:37
  who really shines in the show, Cole Houser who we've seen in a lot
• 10:41
  of things, Gil Birmingham who we loved from Hell or High Water, his
• 10:48
  Jeth Bridge's partner, Wes Bentley, who is in American Beauty. Not that
• 10:52
  I don't think you've seen that one, but I recognize his face for sure.
• 10:56
  Yeah, And Danny Houston is kind of the nemesis in this first season,
• 11:01
  and it's it's pretty good. I'm not totally hooked. I feel like
• 11:05
  this has been done before with like Peaky Blinders or Sons of Anarchy, where
• 11:13
  it's you know, this family, they're always getting into this like really really
• 11:18
  ridiculous problems total and just one thing after the other, and you're just like,
• 11:26
  really, I mean, the last similar stories, but the setting is
• 11:28
  what's supposed to grab you kind of right, yeah, yeah, And so
• 11:33
  I just feel like it's it feels way more like a soap opera to me
• 11:37
  than those other shows did. That's for some reason, that's always been my
• 11:41
  like gut reaction to like previews and stuff. I'm just like, I don't
• 11:46
  know. And Sons of Anarchy, while I watched that whole series, there
• 11:50
  were times where I felt that way as well. Absolutely, I would always
• 11:56
  like halfway through the season just be like, should I keep watching this?
• 11:58
  I'm not sure it would be amazing. So I kind of feel like that's
• 12:03
  what this is a little bit. Some of it is really great, though,
• 12:09
  and some of it is a little campion over the top, but so
• 12:11
  I'm a little on the fence. I'll probably keep up with it, you
• 12:16
  know, when I'm home and stuff, because it's on Peacock now. Nice,
• 12:20
  And I need to justify having that streaming service as I got it for
• 12:26
  a kids movie and then forgot to cancel it, and now I spend it
• 12:31
  for a kids movie six years ago and all right, we'll watch Yellowstone.
• 12:39
  So it is also nice to have, I mean, as long as you're
• 12:41
  enjoying it, something where you can be like, well, there's a thousand
• 12:43
  of these, so I can hit a ton, I can whittle away with
• 12:48
  these or whatever. Sure, yep, you don't have to decide or whatever.
• 12:50
  So that's kind of nice. Yeah, nice, Sorry I had to
• 12:56
  sniffle up. Well, what do you think should do a few plug a
• 12:58
  roonies up? Speaking of plugged up, you guys can visit us as always

  out. Well do a top five draft that pertains to that movie. And
• 13:50
  for this one, we decided to do our top five favorite sports movie relationships
• 13:58
  relationships in sports movies. I feel like I don't have anything cool for this
• 14:03
  one, but I just because like we all love sports movies. But we'll
• 14:07
  see, we'll see what happens. Yeah, I think it's gonna be fun,
• 14:09
  though it will because it's gonna be so many I haven't thought of.
• 14:13
  I bet and our guest was the one who came up with the idea.
• 14:15
  Oh, it was always fun and they are stoked for it, So it
• 14:18
  should be great. It should be great. Speaking of that, guess,
• 14:22
  I guess now's the time we're here today to talk about Field of Dream.
• 14:26
  Finally it's finally happening, it is celebrating, it's I should have looked this
• 14:33
  up. Probably it was nineteen eighty nine. What does that mean? Thirty
• 14:37
  fifth, thirty fifth, Mama, thirty fifth anniversary? All that? Well,
• 14:43
  I say it all the time. I don't know what you're talking about.
• 14:46
  You who is around me all the time and has never heard me say
• 14:48
  it? That's an in such jo for Robins. Yeah, sorry, guys,
• 14:54
  hey, you know it is what it is, right, But yes,
• 14:56
  we are here to talk about this movie. And there's one person we
• 15:00
  both thought of immediately media when we were going to talk about this movie.
• 15:05
  So let's welcoming back. He's beautiful, he's lovely, he's a potato to
• 15:07
  some give it up for Nate Stone. What's up Nate? Hey, guys,
• 15:13
  Hi, it's been so long, it's been so long. I'm so
• 15:18
  glad you're back. One week. No, it's been more than one.
• 15:22
  I'm good. I'm good. I'm just happy to be back. We're happy
• 15:26
  to have you, especially for another wait have you am? I what are
• 15:31
  we doing? Can I say baseball? Yeah? Oh we told him.
• 15:37
  I was like, no, that I've done thirty fifth anniversary of Field of
• 15:46
  Dreams thirty five years and you are our dream and Rob and I are the
• 15:52
  field. Yeah we did it. Yeah, it doesn't really make sense,
• 15:56
  but I like it. You know, it's fun watching this movie again.
• 16:02
  And I've watched the special features before whoa at the Cabin multiple times, But
• 16:10
  I haven't seen this movie in a in like a year or two, and
• 16:12
  I normally watched every spring. But it worked out that I hadn't watched it
• 16:18
  this year yet. Watch the special features again. I'm jealous. I've never
• 16:22
  seen any special features. I only had it on VHS way back in the
• 16:26
  day, and then I never got it on DVD. Well the special feature
• 16:30
  for VHS was it not getting stuck in the VC? Yeah, this is
• 16:37
  your special feature? That's cool. Yeah. So, well, we're dangerously
• 16:44
  close to a hot take, but let's just yeah, we're not Gonnam.
• 16:48
  Sorry. I'm really excited. If you build it, they will come.
• 16:52
  We want to make sure everyone goes to Etsy and checks out because Rhodes Designs
• 16:57
  is gonna be up soon. If not already. Yeah, it hopefully will
• 17:03
  be up. I got myself a nice little CNC machine doing some customs sign
• 17:07
  work, So yeah, I'm gonna do some cabin signs I think to start
• 17:11
  off with and nice people want what a C and C stand for? Not
• 17:17
  for me, for the listeners obviously, yeah, yeah, yeah, for
• 17:18
  the listeners. Computer are we're talking about it like a laser machine. So
• 17:26
  it's a C and C router, which fun. I can add a laser
• 17:33
  to it if I want to do like laser engraving, and I can also
• 17:37
  add a fourth access if I want to do lath work. Cool faith work,
• 17:42
  sure, sure, very cool. Well I know less than when we
• 17:47
  started. So, but are you going to do those those I've seen for
• 17:55
  at a lot of different cabins where they get like a lake and then it
• 18:00
  shows like the topography of the lake that they're on. Are you going to
• 18:03
  do stuff like that? Yes? I can't, I technically can. I
• 18:07
  have not progressed that far so far. I've only done I've been building custom
• 18:11
  guitars for myself and then also saw that that was cool. Yeah, that's
• 18:17
  fun. And I finally on like the seventh body, I think I got
• 18:19
  it the way I wanted it nice, only like four hundred dollars in a
• 18:23
  would later, sure, but it's cheaper than going to college, so you
• 18:29
  know, I just barely that's true. I could have just bought the guitar
• 18:34
  body, but I thought it'd be more fun to make it, for sure,
• 18:37
  dude. And that's like you can say, I made this guitar.
• 18:40
  Are you you're luthier now so you can do the whole thing? Uh?
• 18:44
  Yeah, basically, I mean I've always when I worked at the music store
• 18:47
  man Cato where I met home Free, that's what I was doing. I
• 18:51
  was That's literally how I met the reps because Adam kept bringing their stuff in
• 18:56
  every two weeks to be fixed because he would unplug stuff and didn't know how
• 19:00
  to plug it back together. That sounds right, That sounds right. It
• 19:03
  was pretty rough in the beginning, guys, it was rough. Well,
• 19:08
  let's talk because maybe would it be harder to make a ukulele. We can
• 19:11
  chat later. Yeah, I mean we you know, you hit me up.
• 19:18
  I need more yukes. You're not very far away Bukes. That's true,
• 19:22
  but we still haven't got together from the last thing we talked. Well,
• 19:25
  yeah, we're working on that I'm waiting for you to text or call
• 19:27
  this. Apparently they didn't go through. I guess I don't know what happened,
• 19:34
  but yeah, lets go to roads Designs on Etsy and and give our
• 19:38
  boys some work. That sounds fun, man, Yeah, yeah, hopefully
• 19:41
  I can segue into that and changing less you know, toilets and sinks.
• 19:48
  But the speaking of needs some toilets. If you can toilet, I actually
• 19:55
  do. I would like some new toilets. Will We switched ours out and
• 19:59
  it was great, It was really great. I'm into it. There is
• 20:02
  something about a nice, new, clean toilet that is nice. I want
• 20:07
  my butt to be the only butt that's touched. The people that lived in
• 20:11
  this house before we moved in, they must have been so small because all
• 20:15
  the toilets were so far to the ground. Did you get old people toilets?
• 20:22
  I mean they're not super tall, but they're like normal sized toilets where
• 20:26
  I prefer the short ones, maybe because I'm a short king myself, but
• 20:30
  also I think it's like a built in squatty potty. Then no, And
• 20:37
  whenever my folks would come over my in laws like you you have to change
• 20:41
  your seriously complains about my toilet in the guests bathroom. He's like, oh
• 20:45
  Jesus, yeah, I'm too old to go down that far. Yeah,
• 20:48
  exactly. Anyway, we digress. This is gonna be a good episode.
• 20:53
  If you guys are still listening, Why was this episode seven hours long?
• 21:00
  I don't understand. Well, there's a whole half hour die Tribe about toilet
• 21:03
  height. They really got passionate. Listen, you want to talk about a
• 21:07
  short toilet, get on a tour bus. They are little, baby,
• 21:14
  they're tiny and short. Well you can't. You're not supposed to sit on
• 21:18
  them anyway. Yeah, I mean when you are going down there to get
• 21:23
  in the p in the toilet, is sitting down as your best option?
• 21:27
  Is true? Yeah, just to be nice to the poop, definitely,
• 21:32
  No number two is on the no poopy on the bus. Yeah, absolutely,
• 21:34
  Wait that was a rule, yes, Nate, it certainly is now
• 21:41
  that you never did that one. What dreams may come? Speaking of dreams,
• 21:48
  let's talk about field of dreams today. Uh, And I think Rob,
• 21:52
  I think you should get have started with just a rough enough scene when
• 21:59
  Iowa farmer Ray. Here's a mysterious voice one night in his courtfield saying,
• 22:03
  if you build it, he will come. He feels the need to act.
• 22:07
  Despite tons of lunacy, Ray builds a baseball diamond on his land,
• 22:11
  supported by his wife Annie. Afterward, the ghosts of great players start emerging
• 22:17
  from the crops to play ball, led by shoeless Joe Jackson. But as
• 22:22
  Ray learns, this Field of Dreams is about much more than bringing former baseball
• 22:26
  greats out to play. What are you giggling about over there? Giggles?
• 22:33
  Yeah, what are you giggling at? I'm sorry you did great, I'm
• 22:37
  so sorry. I just so if you build it, he will come.
• 22:41
  And potential porn names that could be that could come for this movie, Oh
• 22:47
  for sure. It's it's dirty. It's a dirty and I thought of a
• 22:49
  really fun one that I'm sure a thousand other people have thought of, but
• 22:52
  it really got me. So I'm just entertaining myself over here. Should I
• 22:56
  say what it is? Is it too dirty? Children? You are the
• 23:00
  only person who knows what it is right now? So I'm okay. So
• 23:03
  if you don't want to hear, go ahead thirty seconds. But if you
• 23:07
  build it, he will come. Could be the tagline for Field of Creams.
• 23:11
  There it is, there, It is that made me really giggle.
• 23:15
  Guys, I told you that what Dreams May Come thing where Whoopi Goldberg was
• 23:19
  at the Oscars because it got up for something and she's like, we have
• 23:22
  to be very very careful how we say this next title? Yeah, which
• 23:29
  is so funny. Yeah, it was good. I love that anyway.
• 23:33
  So sorry, let's go to Rotten Tomatoes and hear what they have to say.
• 23:36
  Thank god, no one's reviewing this podcast. Critics have this coming in
• 23:40
  at a rock solid eighty eight percent pretty good, we plus pretty fresh,
• 23:45
  pretty fresh audience members. I was a little surprised by this. Couple ticks
• 23:49
  below that shocked. I never would have thought audience would have been lower than
• 23:55
  critics shot. I don't know why that crazy. It's weird movies though they
• 24:00
  get weird. Yeah, this was a slow This was a slow grow on
• 24:03
  it too. I think like it wasn't a blockbuster on it first. Oh
• 24:07
  really, okay, I think it was one of those that like marinated a
• 24:10
  little bit and then I can't remember. Don't quote me on that. It's
• 24:14
  like a cult classic now though. Yeah, I mean, people love it.
• 24:18
  But let's get into what we think. Let's do our hot take hot
• 24:22
  take. Oh it's spicy Ray, that's a hot take. That's a hot
• 24:30
  take. Well that's fun. That is fun. All right, great,
• 24:36
  I'll go first. Uh this this is the very first time I've ever seen
• 24:41
  this movie. First of all, I know that's crazy. For some reason,
• 24:45
  this is one that I missed that I'm more excited I know, and
• 24:49
  I was actually super pumped that it was finally happening. I was going to
• 24:53
  get to see it. And it's a really great movie. It is weirder
• 24:57
  than I thought, just I think, just because it's like an eighties movie,
• 25:03
  so it feels like there's like fade to blacks in strange positions and like,
• 25:07
  I don't know, formatting wise, it felt strange at points to me.
• 25:11
  But what a great movie. And no wonder everyone I've ever talked to
• 25:15
  that's like, well, it's a baseball movie, but like kind of barely,
• 25:21
  you know, because it's really it's about baseball one hundred percent, but
• 25:26
  it's also like not about the game itself. It's about all the things that
• 25:29
  go around it, and I found it really compelling. I really liked this
• 25:32
  movie a lot. Other than the weird cuts and the daughter falling off the
• 25:36
  back of the thing just cracks me up, Like, that's such a it's
• 25:40
  such a cheesy looking shot. Now, did you see John Mulaney's Yes,
• 25:52
  he just recaps the movie about the rules of ghost Baseball. It's so funny,
• 25:57
  funny, it was really funny. Yeah, it was his intro to
• 26:00
  whatever he was gotcha presenting, and he's like, now, that's a great
• 26:07
  movie. They should be given that an award, but I guess they'll probably
• 26:10
  give it to one of this year's anyway, it was so funny, dude,
• 26:15
  that's really great. I'll have to try. But I forgot about that.
• 26:18
  Yeah, yeah, that was good. But that that kind of dumptails
• 26:22
  into what I was gonna say too, because like, this movie has been
• 26:23
  referenced so many times in other pieces of you know, both like sports and
• 26:30
  movie culture. So it was super fun to finally get to see it.
• 26:33
  I was really charmed by it. I thought, you know, not to
• 26:38
  be macab but like as a person who's at least halfway through his life,
• 26:42
  now, this film hits in a probably a way that it's different than when
• 26:48
  you watched it as a kid, you know, just thinking about like what
• 26:52
  makes a good life, what makes a you know, a fulfilling life and
• 26:56
  how can we do this? And I just love that timeless quality of that.
• 27:00
  Know, that's probably something since we've been talking, we've been trying to
• 27:03
  figure out, right, it's just a thing that we've been doing. But
• 27:07
  yeah, I just I really liked it a lot. I had a great
• 27:08
  time. I thought it was way weirder than I thought, in a fun
• 27:14
  eighties like nineties way where it's just like this is these are the rules.
• 27:18
  Just shut up and have fun, you know kind of deal. Like I
• 27:19
  like that. I think it's fun. So I really really enjoyed myself.
• 27:23
  I could see myself absolutely watching this again in the future. Uh. It
• 27:27
  really made me want to go see the games that they play there now yea,
• 27:32
  even though I know that's like impossible, but probably about it. Yeah,
• 27:37
  it just seems so cool. But yeah, and my hottest take,
• 27:41
  my hottest take of all this movie is a phenomenal glow up for the state
• 27:47
  of Iowa, because it really makes Iowa seem pretty cool, dude, because
• 27:52
  Iowa not that cool. Gang. I'm sorry to any of our friends in
• 27:55
  Iowa, but like, you know, not a lot there, Yeah,
• 27:59
  not a lot going on. But yeah, I just thought it was.
• 28:00
  It was a real walt for Iowa, and it look really fun and beautiful.
• 28:04
  So is this heaven No, it's Iowa? That should just be like
• 28:08
  when when it says welcome to Iowa, it should be you know, like
• 28:11
  I always think. No, I think it does. Know it should Oh
• 28:15
  yeah, pretty sure on the signs if you're when you're driving in Again,
• 28:21
  that's funny. I just drove through Iowa and I don't remember, so sorry,
• 28:25
  I can't help, but yeah, someone had to have also made the
• 28:29
  joke at some point in a different movie. Is this Heaven No it's Iowa?
• 28:32
  Does that mean it's hell like? At some point? Right, like
• 28:37
  are we being tricked? But yeah, overall, I really like this movie
• 28:40
  a lot. I can totally see why people love it, and I'm happy
• 28:44
  it's in my lexicon. Now I'm happy too. That's a hot take.
• 28:48
  I'm glad that this podcast has made it so that you've seen this movie,
• 28:52
  because yeah, hell yeah. I have always loved Field of Dreams, even
• 28:57
  had a poster of it in our downstairs family room growing up. Fun This
• 29:03
  was written and directed by Phil Alden Robinson. He wrote the screenplay that was
• 29:07
  based off of w p Kinsella's nineteen eighty two novel Shoeless Joe. He also
• 29:14
  wrote and directed a favorite of mine from back in the day called Sneakers.
• 29:17
  Have you guys seen Sneakers? I have none? Which one is loved?
• 29:22
  It was Robert Redford, Ben Kingsley, Dan Eck. We've talked about this.
• 29:26
  I don't think I've seen it. Love Sneakers. You should check it
• 29:27
  out anyway. This movie gives me all the feels I can. I can
• 29:33
  imagine it hits harder for guys like especially older guys like me that are nostalgic
• 29:38
  for our younger days playing baseball and playing catch with our dads. I know
• 29:45
  it hit really really hard for me this time rewatching. That's what I'm saying.
• 29:51
  Like, I bet I was in my feels the whole time, just
• 29:55
  I felt like it was a permanent, just lump in my throat. Yeah,
• 30:00
  but it really romanticizes baseball, and if you're not super into the sport,
• 30:03
  it may be a little too much for you. I think during a
• 30:10
  speech that I adore James Earl Jones's speech, I was watching it with Adam
• 30:15
  Baseball, but you know, at one point he's like baseball I'm not sure,
• 30:21
  but it was a little hokey and he it like took him out of
• 30:23
  it, like he was like, this is sure is too much. But
• 30:26
  I love baseball and I love how much the writer clearly loves it as well.
• 30:33
  Yeah. I thought that the score was beautiful and it's been used for
• 30:37
  so many inspirational sports things since I'm sure you recognized it from from different things.
• 30:44
  Yes, Yeah, I thought the casting was great. Getting James Earl
• 30:48
  Jones was perfect for Terrence Man. Yeah. I love this film, and
• 30:53
  I love that it's like a supernatural ghost story and not scary at all,
• 30:57
  which is fun fun. Yeah, it's they snuck that in there kind of
• 31:02
  almost it's cool. Yeah, I like that. And I also agree that
• 31:06
  that the little girl falling off is real cheesy, cheesy, and there's one
• 31:12
  I wish I'll have to go back and watch it again at some point,
• 31:15
  but there's one spot where they just have a like a they go in close
• 31:22
  on ray and then just fade to hard black for like two seconds, like
• 31:26
  a commercial break or something. I was just like, what's happened? And
• 31:30
  I think it was right before like a road trip montage. Yes it was,
• 31:34
  Yes, that's the spot. Yeah, and I was just like,
• 31:37
  I mean, whatever, obviously, but I was just like, huh,
• 31:40
  we don't really do them like that anymore. I don't think in that same
• 31:44
  way. That's kind of interesting. Yeah, but that's all I got.
• 31:48
  Nate, what's your hot take, buddy? Oh gosh, classic, I've
• 31:52
  loved this one. I mean I grew up watching this in our GMC Mini
• 31:57
  Conversion Van full game, so yeah, it's this one actually hits home probably
• 32:07
  harder than most people. There's a little backstory with my family, my dad
• 32:17
  when he was growing up, his dad is I kind of equate him to
• 32:22
  like a Doc Brown on my grandpa, who I never met, just kind
• 32:25
  of like always inventing stuff and kind of out there, and him and my
• 32:29
  grandma got divorced when my dad was like six or something, and he kind
• 32:36
  of took off and my dad didn't see him really, I don't remember the
• 32:38
  age, but pretty young. Didn't see him basically till he was thirty when
• 32:45
  Field of Dreams came out and he had recently learned that his dad had had
• 32:50
  a tumor. Because he's still kept in contact with the family that my grandpa
• 32:54
  had started after his first family and watched Field of Dreams and ended up flying
• 33:02
  out to Oregon to see his dad after, Like, wow, would have
• 33:08
  been twenty something years crazy is dad? So yeah, Field of Dreams is
• 33:13
  the reason that he went and did that, and I was just felt so
• 33:16
  lucky that I never had to do something like that. So yeah, every
• 33:22
  like on top of just being a crazy, like intense, you know,
• 33:28
  emotional movie, yeah that later to it and I literally texted Rob when I
• 33:32
  was watching it. I'm like, I'm just like misty eyed through the whole
• 33:37
  thing because the score is so good, so good, and yeah, there
• 33:42
  are definitely some cheesy qualities, especially the older I get, like it's I
• 33:49
  love Kevin Costner as an actor in so many things. If I'm going to
• 33:53
  pick roles for him like being great like this, I love it, but
• 34:01
  this is not like peak Yeah sure sure, and it's probably again the time
• 34:08
  like it was the late eighties, early nineties. It's like kind of the
• 34:13
  style, but sure, ah, just so good. I love I love
• 34:17
  this movie so much, and it does it just reminds me to like,
• 34:21
  well, now that I have a kid that can play catch with me,
• 34:23
  I'm like, yeah, all right, let's go outside. Yeah, let's
• 34:29
  do this thing. Yeah for sure. So and I will say, like
• 34:31
  as a I'm not a person who loves baseball anymore, but or you know,
• 34:37
  just like professional baseball has never been my favorite thing or whatever. But
• 34:42
  I loved baseball as a kid, even though I sucked at it. My
• 34:45
  dad coached us every year. You know, I don't think I knew that.
• 34:49
  Yeah, well he actually because he owned an insurance agency and so we
• 34:52
  were called but At Agency, which is the name of his company. And
• 34:55
  I still have hats from them maybe and printed up and stuff, and like
• 35:00
  it was like a big deal and it was super super fun. Like I
• 35:04
  loved it as a kid. I still remember, you know, hanging out
• 35:07
  with all the you know, buddies when we were playing and playing the games
• 35:10
  and stuff. So that part of it, I'm one hundred percent with you
• 35:15
  guys on you know. And I just think this movie, like that part
• 35:20
  of it, the like nostalgic love part of the game, is so well
• 35:24
  represented in this movie. Oh big time. I mean that's like the whole
• 35:28
  movie. Yeah, absolutely, I just think it's so cool. Yeah.
• 35:30
  Well, that's part of it for me is because I don't follow a professional
• 35:35
  baseball a Ton. I follow the Twins, but I'm not like, I'm
• 35:38
  not watching every game looking at stats like. I like it for the you
• 35:44
  know, because I grew up on baseball and the history of it like is
• 35:47
  just and this movie encapsulates that feeling. Yeah, like the love of baseball
• 35:55
  big time. Yeah, I love that. That's great. Well, hot
• 36:00
  takes all around, takes good work. Let's go in and talk about our
• 36:06
  favorite acting performance. Shall we name thee I'm the dude, so that's what
• 36:12
  you call me, you know that, or his dudeness or duder or you
• 36:19
  know, el dud reno. If you're not into the whole brevity thing.
• 36:22
  All right, Nate, who you got? Who's your dude? This is
• 36:24
  tough because you just said, uh, I know, I know, and
• 36:28
  I actually I actually chose Kevin Costner. I think that's fair. It's totally
• 36:32
  fair. And I like, I love Kevin Costner in pretty much everything he's
• 36:39
  ever done. There's just something about him that I don't know. It's like,
• 36:45
  well, he's hot, yeah, he's like, he has great jeans,
• 36:49
  sexy. He was wearing some tight jeans real. I can tell his
• 36:54
  pulse was getting a little high at points. Again, but no, I
• 37:00
  think he really brings it all together. He plays such a great dumb farmer
• 37:07
  like he It's it's not like what I was saying before. It's not that
• 37:15
  he did a mediocre job. I think it's just the way everything was put
• 37:20
  together. I still think he did a really good job. And he's what
• 37:23
  draws me into it because I think I relate to his character probably the most.
• 37:29
  But yeah, it's just there's something iconic about him, and especially in
• 37:35
  that role, I think he brought like the star quality. Had it been
• 37:37
  anybody else, I don't know if this movie would have had. Yeah,
• 37:44
  that's a good point, like extra you know, because even if you watch
• 37:49
  the extras, and I won't go too far into this because I know we'll
• 37:51
  talk about it at the end, but in the extras they talk about the
• 37:54
  making of it and they were literally like halfway through filming and they still didn't
• 38:00
  know how this was going to turn out real wild, Like all of them
• 38:05
  were like, we have no clue what this is like really gonna be.
• 38:09
  That's pretty cool, Like I'm terrifying. Yeah, yeah, lots of money
• 38:14
  spent, So yeah, I'm gonna have to go with Kevin Costner. Yeah,
• 38:20
  I mean he's clearly the lead, so it's not not a bad call.
• 38:28
  Someone else, well, I mean I had him up there, but
• 38:32
  yeah, I picked James Earl Jones. Now, Kevin Costner is great.
• 38:36
  I really liked when he would like get excited when like Terrence Man told him
• 38:40
  he also heard go of the distance, and just seeing him like react to
• 38:45
  that was pretty great. And like him explaining is his tough relationship with his
• 38:49
  dad and them being able to see him again was great. So I feel
• 38:52
  like he was pretty good. But I was with you, Nate. I
• 38:55
  didn't like always believe him sure in this Yeah you know what I mean,
• 39:05
  But when I did, it was great. So I went with James Earl
• 39:07
  Jones. He has one of the best voices ever in movies. I thought
• 39:13
  he had some of the biggest character development. It was fun to see him
• 39:17
  start so like stand offish and like even threatening physical violence to joining Rays Dope
• 39:25
  exactly, and then he joined him and goes across country and yeah, you
• 39:34
  know, just seeing him then express how much he did love baseball, even
• 39:39
  though we didn't know that for so long, And but yeah, when then
• 39:45
  we see him laugh when he goes into the cornfield and it was just like
• 39:47
  from the beginning to him laughing to going in the cornfield, it was such
• 39:51
  a one eighty I thought. I thought he was pretty great in this.
• 39:57
  Love that love that. I love it so much. That's also who I
• 40:00
  So we are in lockstep on that. I agree with everything else you guys
• 40:04
  have said, though, like Coster is not bad in this, That's not
• 40:07
  what I mean at all. Yeah, I think he's really good. It's
• 40:10
  just a lot of things are happening to him, not you know, from
• 40:15
  him or whatever. Maybe, But Rob, I'm with you. The part
• 40:20
  that got me about James Earl Jones in this is his like giggly laughter yeah
• 40:25
  at the end, and then he also does it a few times before.
• 40:29
  That is just so it's so pure and beautiful. I love it so much,
• 40:34
  and I just like that by like you know, like I'm just like,
• 40:37
  yes, I agree with all of this. And I just thought he
• 40:42
  had a really a really great, you know role, like you said,
• 40:45
  with great development, and he's just the best. So he is the best.
• 40:51
  I don't know if he's giggles like that in other role, any other
• 40:55
  role I've seen him there, I can't picture him. He kind of and
• 41:00
  Sam Lot a little bit, but it's he just it's more like a yeah,
• 41:06
  yeah, but yeah, I'm with you, and it's it's so like
• 41:09
  it's so cute and great and then especially if you think about like these are
• 41:14
  people fulfilling their lifelong dreams and he is going to go and like be with
• 41:19
  them and kind of like the child like wonder of getting to talk about baseball
• 41:23
  and so like that child leg giggleism there too, and I just think that's
• 41:27
  so great. Yeah, man, love it, Love it. Well,
• 41:31
  there are some other characters in this and some really good actors. I feel
• 41:36
  like maybe it's time to pick the Toucci Award to chi we got for this
• 41:42
  one. Eh. Well, I was going back and forth. I get
• 41:46
  it. Ah, It's it's tough because I want to pick James Earl Jones.
• 41:55
  You certainly can, but for the sake of being I don't want to
• 42:05
  say different. I'm not like, but because I chose Costner for the favorite
• 42:08
  actor I kind of want to go off the beaten path here, and I'm
• 42:13
  actually gonna go with Dwyer Brown as John Consella. Oh. He doesn't have
• 42:20
  a huge role, right, but it's so compelling, Like he just is
• 42:30
  so young like the way. I think part of it too is the way
• 42:35
  Ray talks about him that he never knew him as a young person, and
• 42:39
  then we see him as this young person towards the end of the movie and
• 42:44
  he takes off as a mask and it's like it was you Ray, and
• 42:49
  you know, he goes, I can get all ty. But and like
• 42:55
  just the lighting on that field at the you know, as the son's kind
• 43:00
  of starting to go down, and he just like embodies every feeling you can
• 43:08
  like muster with doing so very little, like just being there. So like
• 43:16
  he didn't try to overact anything. He didn't you know, he just was
• 43:23
  existed and it was you do you know the trivia about about that actor?
• 43:29
  Nt that scene specifically because I can do it now, I haven't written I
• 43:35
  don't know. Yeah no, I think I do you okay? Yeah?
• 43:38
  Yeah? And it might have been in like in the the whatever. But
• 43:43
  apparently, according to the supplementary material on the DVD, shortly before shooting began,
• 43:49
  Dwyer Brown was notified that his father unfortunately passed away and he came to
• 43:54
  shoot that scene immediately after the funeral, and so he stated like it like
• 44:01
  the emotions were obviously very fresh and painful. It had an effect, of
• 44:06
  course on how he played that scene, and I was like, that makes
• 44:09
  so much sense because he is obviously feeling a lot of things in that moment,
• 44:15
  right, and it just made me be like, damn, I bet
• 44:19
  that was hard as hell to do and stepping in to be the father like
• 44:25
  yeah, that like role reversal and like, oh jeez. But I thought
• 44:30
  that was like gave me goosebumps. That little piece of trivia. That's wild.
• 44:37
  There's this movie has so many fun facts. Yeah, like there are
• 44:43
  also a lot to choose from them, but that's one of the that's like
• 44:46
  one of the probably crazier ones. Yeah. Yeah, so that's a great
• 44:51
  pick. That's a great pick. I'm gonna go with Amy Madigan is an.
• 45:00
  I love her. Whenever I think of her, I think of Uncle
• 45:04
  Buck, which also has Gabby Hoffman. I just kind of right away and
• 45:08
  I was like, I bet, basically yeah, but I enjoyed her.
• 45:13
  She was super skeptical of what was happening with her husband, but ultimately was
• 45:16
  supportive and told him to see this adventure through, even with the possibility of
• 45:22
  losing their home, which I thought was just really powerful. I really loved
• 45:28
  her scene at the town hall and how she stands up for a freedom of
• 45:31
  speech and the Constitution, and how pumped up she is when she gets everyone
• 45:37
  on their side. That was for sure one of the funniest parts of Yeah,
• 45:43
  she's like doing the fifths. But yeah, I would probably pick her.
• 45:47
  I love that. I think that's great. Shout out to uh,
• 45:52
  I think I'll pick well, wait, we haven't talked about Shoeless Joe yet.
• 45:58
  Yeah. I think he's great in this, really like understated at first
• 46:04
  and then gets to kind of flex a little bit towards the end. I
• 46:07
  just I really liked his portrayal in this. I thought it was very believable.
• 46:12
  Well, and this is he looked like a ballplayer, like totally.
• 46:15
  I liked it. Yeah, I bought it. And this is like pre
• 46:17
  Goodfellas, So Raleiota was not a one of his first things or whatever.
• 46:24
  He was not a big name at this point, and I thought he was
• 46:28
  pretty good. No, he was close. He because he was already in
• 46:31
  Casino, and Casino hadn't been out yet. Casino wasn't out until like ninety
• 46:38
  five. Goodfellas came out the next year in ninety ninety. Yeah, no,
• 46:44
  you're okay, you're right. I was thinking Goodfellas was predated this,
• 46:49
  but nope, no, this beat it by a year. I'm always wrong,
• 46:52
  you're not always wrong style, But after Goodfellas everyone knew ray Leota for
• 46:58
  sure. Yeah. So yeah, he just kind of had to be kind
• 47:01
  of stoic and and love the game of baseball. I thought he did a
• 47:04
  prettyod job well. And he had to learn to Oh I'm to ruin it.
• 47:08
  There're too many, it's too much trivia. There's a lot. Yeah.
• 47:13
  You could say he had to learn to bat left handed, which I
• 47:19
  think is crazy. Yeah, but no, no, no, but he
• 47:23
  did that. Yeah, they were going to try, but they so he
• 47:28
  banded up add right handed right? Isn't that what it was? Yes,
• 47:31
  because shoeless Joe Jackson threw right bat and left he was Yeah, that's pretty
• 47:37
  cool. Yeah, so, which is funny because I threw left and batted
• 47:43
  right. So interesting. Actually, no, I did the exact same thing.
• 47:47
  I'm with you. It's well, it's actually incredibly rare. Yeah for
• 47:52
  people I do that. I only did because my dad taught me right handed
• 47:57
  without thinking about it, probably or whatever. Right like, yeah, yeah,
• 48:00
  well, and I started batting left handed, but I don't know why.
• 48:05
  At some point I felt like I had more power right handed, and
• 48:07
  I was like, I'll do this. I golf left handed, but bat
• 48:12
  right handed. Seen it, I've seen that's wild. Yeah, I don't
• 48:15
  know you were a lefty. I don't think have this before. I don't
• 48:20
  know. I yeah, I'm I'm definitely left handed. But as you can
• 48:23
  probably recut, Yeah, growing up left handed, I'm very ambidexterrous for sure.
• 48:34
  Yeah, but growing up left handed you're forced to do so many things
• 48:37
  right handed that you and some people can't. But I was lucky enough that
• 48:42
  I could adapt pretty well. Like I can golf both right and left.
• 48:45
  I can throw, I can play baseball throwing right handed. In fact,
• 48:50
  I got really bad tenanitis when I was coaching my early twenties, and I
• 48:53
  played the whole season right handed with them. That's crazy, not great,
• 49:00
  But I can do it. Yeah, you can make it happen better than
• 49:02
  Rayleota, because he could not figure it out, turn it out, couldn't
• 49:07
  do it. He wasn't much of a ballplayer before they got a hold of
• 49:09
  him. Apparently. Honestly, he does fine, though especially if you look
• 49:14
  at those old like that era of players, they're not graceful players like today.
• 49:21
  Like I kept looking at that old glove too, Like it just looks
• 49:23
  like a regular like glove. Yeah, literally glove. It's like, hey
• 49:30
  guys, I'm gonna go do gardening and then play baseball. Yeah, so
• 49:35
  wild, like that's when men were men apparently. Uh. Also shout out
• 49:42
  to Timothy Bussfield of course, the brother. He's kind of a dorky part
• 49:46
  in this, but I really like that he's kind of the nemesis you needed
• 49:52
  needed. He's a good nemesis though, like because he was the well he's
• 49:57
  a nemesis in a bunch of movies, but he's an emin says in Sneakers
• 50:00
  for a minute. It's really just throw that out there. Also the nemesis
• 50:06
  in First Kid. Yeah, you're right, you guys, First Kid.
• 50:12
  Wow, that's really something really digging deep there. Yeah. He was in
• 50:16
  Revenge of the Nerds back in the day for a long time. Yes,
• 50:22
  Yeah, he's in liked was he has a little Big League Yep, he
• 50:27
  was in a little big one right yeah, yeah, crazy crazy. I
• 50:31
  thought he was good. He was good and the movie needed him. Do
• 50:36
  you know how nerve wracking it would be to film the scene where he walks
• 50:39
  in front of the batter That's one of my favorite shot. He didn't flinch,
• 50:45
  he did just did it. I'm like, I wonder how many takes
• 50:50
  that took for him. Yeah, like just the react, like being that
• 50:55
  close. Yeah, that was incredible and this is re c g I yeah,
• 51:01
  for sure. The guy that was my runner up actually was Burt Lancaster
• 51:07
  is Doc Blaster Dude. I always knew the name and that he was a
• 51:14
  movie star from way back when, but I never saw any of those old
• 51:19
  movies. So when I hear Burt Lancaster, I know him, and this
• 51:24
  I think is his last movie, I think, I think yeah, And
• 51:32
  I just thought he was so charming in this made me choke up a few
• 51:39
  times, Like he was, I mean kind of a perfect character, like
• 51:45
  he's perfect, he loves his wife, he wants to help people, like
• 51:50
  he's just a perfect character. Which it's it's tough not to like that.
• 51:55
  It's funny too, because you don't you rarely see that character, but probably
• 52:01
  because it's really hard to to to make somebody believable in that. Yeah,
• 52:08
  but yeah, he's like such a likable dude. Yeah, that was great.
• 52:15
  Love that. Also shout out to Art Lafleur, who I just I
• 52:21
  think that's great. He was the babe in the Sandlot. Yeah, he
• 52:24
  was like bad Ghosts. Yeah. Yeah, and he's been in like a
• 52:29
  million things, oh my gosh over the years. Like, yeah, he's
• 52:32
  fantastic. He was really fun in this. I really like bought into his
• 52:37
  like when they're kind of like talking to each other and all that stuff.
• 52:40
  I just think that's really fun. I like it. That was fun.
• 52:44
  Nice. Any other runners up we want to say for I'm good, you
• 52:51
  know, just we already talked about Gabby Hoffman. I feel like this is
• 52:54
  her first thing and she was fine. I feel like she gets much better
• 52:59
  later against but she's a kid. She didn't have to do a lot,
• 53:02
  so that's good. She had to fall off that bleacher and yeah, must
• 53:10
  ten stories high. That bleacher was so high. Also, have you guys
• 53:17
  seen the HBO show Max I guess no girls, Yes, Okay, so
• 53:25
  she's in that and I was not prepared. Yeah, a lot because I
• 53:32
  don't seen her in a few things, but that she there's a full on
• 53:37
  birthing scene in the bathtub. And I was like, whoa, yeah,
• 53:46
  talk my childhood is Oh my god. Although that scene is also pretty darn
• 53:55
  funny. If you've seen that. It's been a long time since I've seen
• 54:00
  it now, but I remember liking it a lot. It's a written show.
• 54:05
  That's a fun one. Nice. Well, why don't we move on.
• 54:07
  Let's let's go pick our favorite scene. Let's choose the Dingus dings.
• 54:13
  The Dingus so is quite simple, really, dingus Ingus. I can talk
• 54:17
  about my dingus all night long. Well, I mean, right, is
• 54:27
  there really a choice. It's gonna be where he realizes it's his dad at
• 54:31
  the end of the movie, and because he's gonna start crying already. Yeah,
• 54:37
  I can't think about it too much because it'll get me going, you
• 54:40
  and me both. But yeah, I mean that is like the scene of
• 54:46
  scenes, as far as the dialogue and the lighting and the music and everything
• 54:57
  came together. There are so many scenes in this movie that I love,
• 55:01
  and I, you know, quote with my friends. One of them my
• 55:07
  buddy Ben, who I grew up with. I've probably mentioned him before because
• 55:10
  we have a lot of stories together. We played every sport together for like
• 55:14
  ten years, but every time we go to a Twins game because he's one
• 55:20
  of the people I go to games with the most. Every time we're standing
• 55:23
  in line to get a drink, I go, what do you want?
• 55:30
  So? I want people to leave me alone and stop every time. And
• 55:37
  I love that scene because it kind of breaks up it like is a serious
• 55:45
  thing. But they just just the way both those James Earld Jones really brings
• 55:50
  that scene home. And so sorry that's deviating, but yes, the last
• 55:57
  the scene where he realizes it's dead. I mean, and I'd even cheat
• 56:01
  and just do like the last twenty minutes, like yeah, really pretty much
• 56:07
  from Timothy Bussfield walking through the game because he can't see the players, and
• 56:15
  we get the monologue from James Earl Jones about baseball and how people will come
• 56:20
  and and then you get Moonlight Graham in there, who has to like he
• 56:25
  is Archie and then he becomes Doc to save the girl, which is incredible
• 56:31
  love. And they let Terrence Man go into the cornfield and he's giggling and
• 56:36
  it's wonderful. Then we see his dad and just all the tears. Oh,
• 56:42
  and it's so brutal when he's like you can't go back, and oh,
• 56:47
  Moonlight. Oh my, there's like that nine. He says, there
• 56:52
  is like one of my favorites of the movie, Like, there's like nine
• 56:55
  crying moments. I mean you basically cry through the last twenty. I know
• 57:00
  it was tough for the boohoos for that. I was thinking about that too,
• 57:04
  well good luck. Yeah, that one's tough because I mean I was
• 57:07
  there too. It was just it's amazing. And then he gets to play
• 57:12
  with his catch with his dad, which is, you know, unbelievable.
• 57:16
  And then while he's doing that, we see all the cars coming to the
• 57:20
  field. It's perfect ending to a movie. It's perfect, really strong.
• 57:25
  So that is clearly the number one. You know what the best part is.
• 57:30
  I think it was a summer or two ago. We were at the
• 57:32
  cabin and I think our baseball gloves were up there, and I was like,
• 57:37
  you know, kind of being funny, but I was like, hey,
• 57:38
  Dad, want to have a catch, and he just goes, no,
• 57:43
  yes, we're done. No thing that. But my runner up would
• 57:49
  probably be kidnapping Terrence Man to go to the baseball game. That scene is
• 57:53
  so much fun. I love that scene. Yeah, really really fun.
• 57:57
  Go back to the sixties where you came from before it's too Yeah, yeah,
• 58:01
  I really love that scene. You're a pacifist, You're right, damn
• 58:07
  it. Yeah. I thought that was a fun scene. Yeah, that
• 58:13
  is a great scene. I love He's like, I'm not going to show
• 58:16
  you my gun. Yeah, I don't think there is a gun. It's
• 58:22
  your finger, it's not it's my gun. What do you got? Honestly
• 58:30
  that those were the two that I had as well, to be honest,
• 58:32
  Like the whole ending scene I just loved so much. I just think it's
• 58:37
  so great. And then I loved that I guess I'll extend to like when
• 58:43
  they're at the ball game, that's also really fun. They have a really
• 58:45
  good, you know, repartee there, which is really fun. But yeah,
• 58:50
  I feel like I don't don't have a lot to add to the Like
• 58:52
  I was just like, Yeah, another scene that super love is when they
• 58:59
  meet and he meets Moonlight Graham and him explaining his time in the majors and
• 59:04
  how much, yeah, how much he loved being a doctor. Yeah that
• 59:08
  is really great. I thought that was a wonderful scene. And I love
• 59:14
  how they did it too, because you know, they researched him, so
• 59:16
  we know, so much about him before we meet him, and so we
• 59:22
  know that, you know, he had fifty extra blue hats in his office
• 59:27
  for his wife, and just how cool of a guy is. But then
• 59:30
  him explaining like, you know, yeah, it was a bummer that I
• 59:34
  didn't get to play, but it would have been way more of a bummer
• 59:37
  if I wouldn't have been a doctor. God, I love that line.
• 59:39
  That'll I mean, that wasn't I didn't quote it, but no, yeah,
• 59:44
  yeah, but the sentiment of that, yeah, for sure. There
• 59:46
  are so many quotable lines in this movie. Well, it sounds like you
• 59:52
  want to go to the next section, Nate, let's do it. I
• 59:54
  think we should. We obviously picked the dingis in the last twenty minutes.
• 59:58
  It's perfect. It's perfect. Even love it. So why don't we go
• 1:00:00
  to show me the money, Show me the money, show me? Brah?
• 1:00:16
  I don't. I don't know. There's too many to choose from.
• 1:00:22
  I don't recommend someone that's the movie of my life. No, I mean,
• 1:00:30
  if we've already talked about it, But is this Heaven? It's probably
• 1:00:35
  one of the most quotable line, like, no, this is Iowa.
• 1:00:38
  I could have sworn it was heaven like that people know that line and have
• 1:00:44
  never seen the movie for sure that if you build it, he will come.
• 1:00:47
  Yeah, the two Yeah, I mean those those lines transcended the movie
• 1:00:55
  itself, which is fantastic. I don't know why. I always thought it
• 1:01:01
  was funny, but the peace, Love, dope, get the hell out
• 1:01:06
  of here like that one always got me. I just thought it was funny
• 1:01:14
  and I didn't understand what it meant when I was a kid. Yeah,
• 1:01:17
  sure, like sure, yeah. I was probably like twenty four and I
• 1:01:22
  was like, wait a second, you're talking about marijuana. Yeah. I
• 1:01:30
  mean I could go down a list of like, yeah lines, but if
• 1:01:37
  I had to pick one, it would definitely probably be is this Heaven?
• 1:01:42
  For sure? Yeah, that's a great one. And you already said the
• 1:01:45
  what do you want? Yes, the kid back there, it's like,
• 1:01:50
  oh, dog and a beer, Yeah, great, what do you want?
• 1:01:55
  Yeah. I love seeing Fenway Park because that in nineteen eighty nine was
• 1:02:02
  actually the year Wriggly was the last field to get lights. And I think
• 1:02:09
  they they talk about that in the movie literally they Wriggly Feel literally got lights
• 1:02:14
  the year this movie was made, which is insane. But like, I
• 1:02:19
  love seeing Fenway in like that it hadn't been updated at all. Yeah,
• 1:02:27
  so it's still you didn't go to the game. No, we had this
• 1:02:31
  conversation last time. No, I did go to TD whatever the Celtics place
• 1:02:39
  to see the Yeah, we the comedy to the comedy show of TD whatever
• 1:02:45
  whatever it is. But I did not get to go to Fenway. I've
• 1:02:47
  never been, which makes me simwhere. Yeah, I think it was like
• 1:02:52
  the Fall. I think we will go. Oh dude, I'm not joking.
• 1:02:55
  When I started to walk in because of probably this movie. Sure,
• 1:03:00
  but like I like got emotional walking into Fenway because I had never been there,
• 1:03:06
  Like yeah, it's like overwhelming. You can like feel the history and
• 1:03:13
  especially the Socks not winning a World Series or you know for however many years,
• 1:03:21
  like one hundred years. I had that a little bit with old Yankee
• 1:03:24
  Stadium. I got to see that back in two thousand and two. But
• 1:03:31
  and that was it was crazy. But it was like this is a pos
• 1:03:37
  man, it is old. They need to update this nice Like it's just
• 1:03:42
  the trough to go and pee in like it was. It was gross in
• 1:03:45
  there. But I text you when I was at Dodger Stadium. Yeah,
• 1:03:52
  you did you did. We talked about it because it was a pain in
• 1:03:55
  the ass. Yeah, it's a it's so fun because it's like step back
• 1:04:00
  in time. Yeah, because they haven't updated it since I think like eighty
• 1:04:04
  nine. Wow. And even then it was not like it was just like,
• 1:04:10
  hey, we go, we'll put a beer tap here. But yeah,
• 1:04:15
  by modern day standards, those old stadiums are you can't shuffle people through.
• 1:04:20
  People have more time back in the day, so they show up two
• 1:04:24
  hours early at the game and right, you know, wait in line and
• 1:04:28
  do that stuff. Now you show up and it's like by the time I
• 1:04:31
  get a beer, it'll be the fourth inning. Yeah. Yeah, Well
• 1:04:41
  back to some of these quotes, Yes, it's all good. I loved
• 1:04:45
  Moonlight Graham when he says we just don't recognize life's most significant moments while they're
• 1:04:51
  happening. Back then, I thought, well, there'll be other days.
• 1:04:55
  I didn't realize that that was the only day. Yeah, yikes. And
• 1:05:02
  Native already said this one. But just you want to have a catch.
• 1:05:05
  That's another incredible line. Yeah, that'll catch you. Do we need to
• 1:05:12
  catch her? Not if you get it near the plate, we don't.
• 1:05:15
  Yeah, that's a great one, and I mean I could do that whole
• 1:05:20
  Terrence Man monologue because I love it so much. But it's it's pretty long.
• 1:05:26
  It because ray people will come ray, they'll come die with for reasons
• 1:05:30
  they can't even have them. But it goes on for a very long time.
• 1:05:32
  But if you're interested, go and check it out. It's some amazing
• 1:05:36
  writing. Yeah writing, And again, I don't know if there's another actor
• 1:05:42
  that could have done that justice. No, Like, he made it so
• 1:05:45
  believable. Ye, why do you say some bukes? Yeah. I loved
• 1:05:55
  the the players like, you know, giving each other crap. I thought
• 1:05:59
  that was super fun. When the one of them I don't even remember who
• 1:06:01
  said it, but he's like, yeah, at least I got muscles.
• 1:06:03
  So he's like, no, at most you got muscles. I just thought
• 1:06:08
  that was a really great line that i'd never heard said quite that way.
• 1:06:11
  I thought that was really fun. Then laters, when later when they're like,
• 1:06:15
  hey, knuckles, what are you throwing out the kid for? He
• 1:06:16
  winked at me. Don't wink kid, don't wake k it somebody. I
• 1:06:23
  love that so much. And then I think it's at the I think it's
• 1:06:28
  at the town hall meeting or whatever school board meeting or whatever it is.
• 1:06:32
  Yeah. One of the ladies is like, I experienced the sixties, and
• 1:06:36
  she's like, no, I think you had two fifties and moved right out
• 1:06:40
  of the seventies. Yeah, which I thought was just a beautiful line.
• 1:06:44
  It was a line that was so funny. And then because he mastered Baits,
• 1:06:51
  it's like, oh, oh, Beulah, you call me cow or
• 1:07:00
  she said yeah, I love that so much. Yeah, go ahead,
• 1:07:03
  Nate, did you one that cracks me up? And there's so many but
• 1:07:09
  he goes, yeah, we thought about inviting ty Cop, but none of
• 1:07:12
  us can stand the son of Guinea's lives. We don't love to stake it.
• 1:07:15
  Yeah, I am yes, that is straight up. Oh my gosh,
• 1:07:25
  I'm blanking. We'd already talked good Fellas. Yeah, that is Fellas.
• 1:07:29
  When you read that line, I was like, oh, there's ray
• 1:07:30
  there got up. Yeah. I loved that. That was really fun and
• 1:07:36
  I loved the If I'd only gotten to be a doctor for five minutes,
• 1:07:41
  that would have been a tragedy. That is so good, so much,
• 1:07:45
  so good. I love you you doc. That was kind of all the
• 1:07:57
  ones I had. I had a couple more so. Shoeless Joe says,
• 1:08:00
  the first two were high and tight, so where do you think the next
• 1:08:03
  one is going to be? It's like, well, either low and away
• 1:08:05
  or in my ear. Yes, he's not going to want to load the
• 1:08:09
  bases, so look low and away, right, but watch out for in
• 1:08:13
  your ear. That's good. And I like when during that kidnapping scene of
• 1:08:20
  Terrence Mann and he's explaining his situation just like you're seeing a whole team of
• 1:08:27
  psychiatrists, aren't you. So I like that, but that was all I
• 1:08:33
  had, Nate, do you have any more you want to say? Bud?
• 1:08:40
  I mean, I could go on forever. There's the great line where
• 1:08:45
  Shoeless Joe Jackson is. He says, man, I did love this game.
• 1:08:49
  I'd have played for food money. And it's a little longer than that,
• 1:08:57
  but he talks about putting the glove to his face and yeah, you
• 1:08:59
  know, just the cool the grass on his feet. And I'm not joking,
• 1:09:01
  like, because I played a lot of baseball growing up. I played
• 1:09:06
  Legion all the way through uh SO summer after senior year, and I kind
• 1:09:14
  of contemplated playing college, but I I think I loved my friends and the
• 1:09:20
  game, like it just wasn't it wasn't in the cards for me. I
• 1:09:25
  didn't care enough to play college sports because I wouldn't have been dedicated enough.
• 1:09:29
  But to this day, I can still smell that grass when it's baby at
• 1:09:36
  night as the lights turn on, and like smell the glove and the dirt
• 1:09:42
  and holding a wooden bat in your hand. Like there's just something about baseball
• 1:09:47
  to me that, oh just all the all like sensory overload. It's it's
• 1:09:54
  probably one of my favorite like spring memories totally, that's all like every weekend.
• 1:10:02
  Man. Oh I loved it. Yeah, I loved it so much.
• 1:10:06
  Some of my favorite times for sure. Oh well, let's let's keep
• 1:10:12
  going and let's let's go to bugs boohoo moments the crying game, strong men
• 1:10:18
  also cry. Oh yeah, also wampamp So yeah, I do think that.
• 1:10:30
  Oh really that says he didn't cry at all. Yeah, I'll take
• 1:10:36
  that. So I picked five. But again, it just feels like the
• 1:10:44
  last twenty minutes is one big boohoo. But I'll do my best. I
• 1:10:48
  thought it was really sweet during that scene that I had brought up with Moonlight
• 1:10:53
  Graham when he meets him and He's like, Alicia'll be thinking I got a
• 1:10:56
  girlfriend and he's he's got to get back. Yeah. I love that.
• 1:11:00
  That's really really great. That whole Yeah, that whole thing was great.
• 1:11:03
  It was great. James Earl Jones's people will come speech when Moonlight Graham can't
• 1:11:14
  go over there, and he's like, thank you doctor. He's like,
• 1:11:15
  no, son, thank you. Obviously his father coming back, yeah,
• 1:11:24
  and hey dad, do you want to have a catch? I mean,
• 1:11:28
  but all of that is it? Like yeah? So, but before all
• 1:11:33
  that, I you know, I didn't really think there were too many boohoos,
• 1:11:39
  at least for me. Did you have any other one s Nate that
• 1:11:43
  you think he would have had earlier in the film when he Mots meets Moonlight
• 1:11:48
  Graham that I mean, yep, that was definitely he nailed that one for
• 1:11:54
  sure. I I do when the music hits I seen her. I mean,
• 1:12:02
  I'm not joking. There are moments like in the beginning of the movie
• 1:12:06
  that I'm like getting tiery, just like when his wife is like believing in
• 1:12:13
  him, and then they do the montage after he like gets the field built
• 1:12:16
  and nothing's happening, and I get tiery. Then seeing all four seasons of
• 1:12:21
  the Field. Yeah, and I don't think he's probably watching it for the
• 1:12:29
  first time. Yeah, that's that was like I think I could now if
• 1:12:32
  I watched it, but yeah, for the first time. It didn't get
• 1:12:35
  me this time. So yeah, the first time, I think you nailed
• 1:12:38
  all of them that I would choose. But if you watch us a couple
• 1:12:44
  more times, like yeah, I think you'll because just like the music hits
• 1:12:49
  and then like that you're like, so good, dude, Yeah, that's
• 1:12:53
  just beautiful. Yeah. So there was there was two more that you guys
• 1:12:57
  didn't say. Okay, one of them was kind of early, but I
• 1:13:00
  just really liked it, uh, and probably because I knew the end even
• 1:13:04
  though I'd never seen this, you know, like like it's just kick get
• 1:13:09
  away from it. But when she says I think that's the first time I've
• 1:13:13
  ever seen you smile when you mentioned your father, Oh, that line really
• 1:13:16
  hit me for some reason. I was just like, oh, oh,
• 1:13:18
  beauty, you know, like that's really cool. And then the is this
• 1:13:24
  heaven? No, it's Iowa And he's like, huh, I really I
• 1:13:27
  could have sworn it was heaven or whatever? Does he say I could have
• 1:13:30
  sworn or I thought it was heaven or something. That one got me too,
• 1:13:33
  So those are the only other ones otherwise, Yeah, you nailed that.
• 1:13:38
  And it's a hard one because, like you said, the end is
• 1:13:41
  there's so many, so many Yeah, a sobfest at the end. I've
• 1:13:47
  seen this movie so many times. You think I would be like immune to
• 1:13:50
  it, right, Yeah, Nope, it's like we're Dad's too, and
• 1:13:59
  just like there's that whole other part of it. I think that's why it
• 1:14:01
  hits part. Yeah. Well, if you want a three and a half
• 1:14:05
  year old bigs, just let you know. All right, cool, I'll
• 1:14:11
  keep on my mind on that. Let's go and do a little movie trivia.
• 1:14:15
  Now, let's see. After filming was completed, the family that owned
• 1:14:19
  the farm kept the field and added a small hut with inexpected souvenirs for sale
• 1:14:27
  up till twenty eighteen. Is what this says. Visitors were free to come
• 1:14:30
  and come to the field and play baseball, so they please between April and
• 1:14:32
  November. I don't know if that's still the case. Well, no,
• 1:14:35
  no, they have the well maybe the spot. I actually don't know that.
• 1:14:41
  I've been there twice. Okay, so it's the actual spot where they
• 1:14:45
  do the games. Everything is the same. They updated graz Oh oh you're
• 1:14:48
  talking about no, so the original those games. I don't know the original
• 1:14:53
  field still there. They put the MLB field basically in left field. Oh
• 1:14:58
  cool, Okay, it's like further out in the middle of the where a
• 1:15:00
  corn used to be. Gotcha. Okay, So but yeah, it fun
• 1:15:04
  to just go there and see that, even if you didn't go for the
• 1:15:08
  game. I mean, yeah, you said you've been there twice, mate.
• 1:15:11
  Yeah. I went with my buddy Todd because both of us love Field
• 1:15:14
  of Dreams, and then I went with my dad, like a year later,
• 1:15:17
  my whole family. I want to do. Yeah, it's a cute
• 1:15:21
  little town and can't be too far from here Diresville. Oh it's uh two
• 1:15:29
  and a three hours. I think, Oh that's not bad. Yea,
• 1:15:33
  yeah, I love that. So the Shoeless Joe makes that comment about Ty
• 1:15:40
  Cobb, and you know, none of us could stand the sun of when
• 1:15:43
  he was alive, so we told them to stick it in real life.
• 1:15:45
  Apparently the players were close friends. Later in Jackson's life, when he ran
• 1:15:49
  a liquor store in South Carolina, Cobb stopped in to buy bourbon during the
• 1:15:55
  sale. Jackson made no recognition of Cob until Cobb finally said, for God's
• 1:15:59
  sake, Joe, don't you remember me? And Jackson apparently somberly replied,
• 1:16:03
  well, sure, I remember you. Ty. I just didn't think anyone
• 1:16:05
  wanted to remember me anymore. And I thought that was so sad that I
• 1:16:11
  did not know that. Yeah, but at least he had a friend.
• 1:16:15
  Uh. Amy Madigan was offered a job as a bartender at a local bar
• 1:16:19
  during filming. The owner didn't know that she was an actress. I just
• 1:16:23
  thought that was kind of fun. You want a job. I'm okay.
• 1:16:29
  I'm in a giant future, so funny. I thought this was really cool.
• 1:16:34
  After the movie was completed, test audiences didn't like the original film title,
• 1:16:39
  which was Shoeless Joe Jackson, because they said it sounded like a movie
• 1:16:43
  about a bum or a hobo. Universal called the director and screenwriter Phil Alden
• 1:16:48
  Robinson to tell him that tell him that the name didn't work and that the
• 1:16:51
  studio changed the title of the film to Field of Dreams. But they sort
• 1:16:58
  of called him, thinking you know, this was gonna bad news, but
• 1:17:00
  he told them, oh, no problem. Shoeless Joe was the title the
• 1:17:04
  publishing company gave the book. My original title was dream Field, so this
• 1:17:10
  is closer to that. So crazy, that funny, what a silly,
• 1:17:15
  weird like circular story. I love it. If you build it, he
• 1:17:19
  will come. Was voted number thirty nine on the Film Quotes by the American
• 1:17:25
  Film Institute, the Top one hundred film quotes. I should say, uh,
• 1:17:30
  yeah, we said the thing about Leota and all that stuff. Let's
• 1:17:35
  see. Oh, I thought this was fun. People would give Ray trouble
• 1:17:41
  about Shoeless Joe was left handed hitter, and they would always bring that up
• 1:17:45
  to him apparently, and I guess his light comeback was always Yeah. None
• 1:17:48
  of the other players came back to life either, so there were some differences
• 1:17:51
  between life and the movie or whatever. Thought that was pretty fun. I
• 1:17:57
  think we've said this before, but Ben Affleck and Matt Damon are among the
• 1:18:01
  thousands of extras in the Fenway Park scene and are uncredited, of course.
• 1:18:06
  And over a decade later, Affleck worked with Robinson on the Sum of All
• 1:18:13
  Fears, and Affleck apparently said when they met him, when they met,
• 1:18:16
  nice working with you again, and he was like, what do you mean
• 1:18:18
  again, and then he explained the connection. I was like, that's probably
• 1:18:21
  a pretty fun story to hear. Huh, that's fun. Were they drinking
• 1:18:27
  some duncan? Almost? Yeah, they probably had some beers? No,
• 1:18:32
  you are? You are? Let's see. I can't remember if I saw
• 1:18:39
  this earlier or not, but apparently the line drive scene where it comes straight
• 1:18:44
  back up at Kevin Costner, that just is real and actually happened and he
• 1:18:49
  falls on the mound and that was all real and he stayed in character,
• 1:18:53
  so they kept in the movie, which I love. So I think that's
• 1:18:56
  really fun. Love that we send the thing about that. Oh the so
• 1:19:04
  the headlights and that last shot, that was a practical thing. It was
• 1:19:10
  broached during a lunch with the Iowa Chamber of Commerce, and the chamber folks
• 1:19:15
  replied that if it could be done, and the shooting of the final scene
• 1:19:17
  or they replied, it could be done, and it became a big community
• 1:19:20
  event. They got over fifteen hundred people to drive their cars that day,
• 1:19:26
  and apparently they to simulate motion, they had them like the flicker their brights
• 1:19:32
  and their lows, you know, the low the dim lights and the brights
• 1:19:36
  on the headlights. Over and over, so it looked like the cars were
• 1:19:40
  bouncing or whatever. I thought that was super cool that they actually did it,
• 1:19:44
  and they blacked out the town behind them and all that stuff. So
• 1:19:47
  I thought it was really cool. I love that. Yeah. Oh and
• 1:19:51
  a as part of that scene, it had to be filmed shortly before that.
• 1:19:57
  It had to be filmed at twilight, you know, for them having
• 1:20:00
  a catch, and Costner said it was really stressful because he was very worried
• 1:20:04
  he was going to drop the ball or screw up the shot in some way,
• 1:20:08
  you know, like flub catching it or whatever, which is really fun.
• 1:20:15
  Apparently, the line hey Dad, you want to have a catch originally
• 1:20:17
  didn't include dad. Audiences were disappointed in the lack of acknowledgment of father and
• 1:20:23
  son, and so the word dad was looped in during post production and it's
• 1:20:28
  way better with it. So I get that it's crazy though, Yeah,
• 1:20:30
  that's pretty wild. And then because yeah, hey Dad, he says that
• 1:20:35
  off camera. Yeah, so they just found a way to sneak it in
• 1:20:40
  there, I guess, so, which is pretty that's wild. And then
• 1:20:45
  when Terrence Man decides to go out with the players, quote unquote, he
• 1:20:48
  says he'll write a story about it called Shoeless Joe Jackson Comes to Iowa,
• 1:20:53
  And that was the actual title of the W. P. Kinsella short story
• 1:20:59
  that he later expanded that into the novel Shoeless Joe, on which, of
• 1:21:02
  course, this film was based. So I just thought that was a nice
• 1:21:04
  little image. Yeah, but that was all the trivia I had. There
• 1:21:10
  was so much. I didn't want to go too wild. I had a
• 1:21:13
  couple more. At first, James Horner was unsure if he could work on
• 1:21:15
  the film due to scheduling restrictions. Then he watched a rough cut and was
• 1:21:19
  so moved that he accepted the job of scoring the film. Cool and movie
• 1:21:25
  history was made. James Horner, he's one of our best. He's incredible.
• 1:21:30
  Apparently Tom Hanks has originally offered the role of Ray Cancella but turned it
• 1:21:34
  down. Wow, that's pretty wild. Okay, he could have done it.
• 1:21:41
  Yeah, he made a different baseball movie later he did. He did.
• 1:21:45
  Yeah, there's Kevin Costner is more athletic. I think he's a little
• 1:21:50
  bit more believable as a player. Yeah, well, he he was.
• 1:21:54
  It was is I mean? For when he filmed For Love of a Game
• 1:21:58
  for love of the game. He was literally thrown in the mid eighties,
• 1:22:02
  that's the whole like whole time, and he was pitching more per day than
• 1:22:09
  any professional player would pitch because he just Especially nowadays, yeah, well yeah,
• 1:22:15
  these days they're like, oh two Indians, you're done, You're done,
• 1:22:17
  especially when they're on the twins. Oh uh. The director wanted to
• 1:22:24
  cast James Stewart as Moonlight Graham, but Stuart had not acted on screen for
• 1:22:29
  almost a decade. Wow. But one scene shows Karen watching the James Stewart
• 1:22:33
  movie Harvey on television, So that was all I had, Nate, did
• 1:22:41
  you have more? Uh? Yeah, a fun little fact about the field
• 1:22:45
  when the year they filmed that, they were in a massive drought. Oh
• 1:22:49
  and so they had to like steal water and they had to water like massively
• 1:23:00
  water the corner on the field just to make it look because everything else is
• 1:23:04
  like brown, that whole shit. So that was that they literally had no
• 1:23:11
  horrible timing. So I always thought that was funny because it's like such a
• 1:23:16
  beautiful, you know background. The corner is in its own right, a
• 1:23:26
  like actor in the movie, like it is a part of it. Without
• 1:23:30
  that, I don't think it has its yeah, kind of mystique. You
• 1:23:39
  covered most of them. I'm trying to think if there's any other fun ones,
• 1:23:44
  I will say there is. There are so fun little fact there are
• 1:23:48
  two or there were probably not anymore, but the property line for the field
• 1:23:57
  actually ran behind the backstop if I remember correctly. Okay, so there are
• 1:24:03
  two. When I was there, there are two little huts that you can
• 1:24:08
  go buy. Oh I'm getting balloons from. Yeah, I gotta do the
• 1:24:16
  update on my phone or on my computer. This is fun. Yeah,
• 1:24:21
  but there are two merchandise huts and two families ran them, and they're like
• 1:24:27
  twenty feet apart from each other. The real Hatfield McCoy situation, they're like
• 1:24:31
  kind of you want chain nothing. Yeah. Well, and because literally the
• 1:24:36
  like the parking lot where you park is on one family's property and then the
• 1:24:41
  baseball field. It's like, that's funny. So, yeah, there were
• 1:24:46
  two two little huts there for a while. I got to check that out.
• 1:24:51
  It sounds cool. I'm doubting those huts are even there now with the
• 1:24:57
  mlbst right, probably notrobably just paid them a ton of money. Yeah to
• 1:25:02
  not worry about it. Yep, I'll have to do. They probably licensed
• 1:25:06
  the merchandise. The MLB probably owns that. Now I guess, nice,
• 1:25:15
  well, will there be a sequel judgment day? No, I'm living it.
• 1:25:21
  I'm living a sequel. Oh, I'm living it. I love it.
• 1:25:26
  I'm living it. So yeah, game, Do you guys want to
• 1:25:30
  play a game? Yes? Yes, let's do a starting five. I'm
• 1:25:34
  gonna name my five favorite actors from a film. When you know the film,
• 1:25:40
  you ring in with your name. If you get it wrong, no
• 1:25:44
  negative points, you won't be able to guess again for that movie. And
• 1:25:46
  if there are actors' names remaining, you can guess those for a point each.
• 1:25:50
  The other person can steal if any of those names are wrong. And
• 1:25:55
  all of these films have something in common. When you know the theme,
• 1:25:58
  you can ring in at any time for a point. Might have something to
• 1:26:00
  do with Field of Dreams. We're guessing actors names. Uh, I'm gonna
• 1:26:05
  say actors' names, and then you are gonna need to guess the movie.
• 1:26:09
  And then if there are more names, you can guess actors names. Yep,

• 1:28:33
  theme. Yes, movies with ghosts. It's more specific than that. They
• 1:28:40
  are not scary ghosts. Oh like, how this movie didn't have scary scary
• 1:28:46
  ghosts. You know, they're just kind of nice. They're just people.
• 1:28:51
  Okay, all right? Do I get a plant for then? Or now?
