Dottie’s husband, “Is everything thing alright?” EOM, “No, you fuckin up baseball.” I almost choked!!😂😂😂
"Avoid the clap" might be the best autograph of all time.
That’s good advice!
So glad you loved this. The scene where the black lady throws a burner to Ellen Sue causing her shake out her hand was Penny Marshall's nod to the Negro Leagues and the fact that the color barrier prevented a lot of potential talent from being displayed to the masses.
So subtle but so powerful. I love that little scene.
This wouldn't change until after the war, when Jackie Robinson joined the Brooklyn Dodgers, under horrible and dangerous conditions. He was a true hero, and his wife, Rachel, equally courageous. Branch Rickey, general manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers, had been wanting to break the color barrier for many years, and he and Robinson formed a formidable partnership.
Muahhhh kiss that black ass you little libtard bitch
THAT scene still brings a tear to my eye. You expressed perfectly but how many wonderfully talented women the Negro Leagues and definitely not given the same attention OR opportunities. MANY I'm sure we're even better than the women in this team BUT we never allowed to do an open try out to actually find out on an open playing field. It was so incredibly sad that during that time, even though collectively women didn't have the same rights as men. THAT we were still being geared to be pitted in our mentality against by our races. #NYGenXBIKERLady #Taino #Mohawk
There’s stories from that league that should be a movie I’m sure!
One of the most memorable lines in film history, "There's no crying in baseball!"
I played baseball in high school in school, I wouldn't be surprised if our head coach said that to us.
The "Pickle Tickle" line is my favorite
All of the older ladies (with the exception of the ones playing the older Kit and Dottie) were all actual former players of the AAGPBL. So all of those scenes where they're playing at Doubleday Field and at the National Baseball Hall of Fame museum were real former players. I love that Penny Marshall included them into the film.
Some of the older women who had lines in the film were actually actresses and not really AAGPBL players. But most of the women we see playing were indeed actual players!
“One fish, two fish, blue fish, whatever the f***.” 😂😂😂😂😂
"Now you start using your head! That's that lump 3 feet above your ass!"
I use that line to this day when someone gets on my nerves. 😂
Jon Lovitz as the scout is one of the funniest characters in ANY movie EVER.
SO much of his line work was improvised. My favorite that they could've easily just kept as a blooper was when the cow moos in the background and he says, "will you shut up?!". 😂
She did drop the ball on purpose. At the beginning of the film Geena Davis tells her grandkid to “let your sister win once in a while”.
Yeah she dropped the ball on purpose for her sister but I liked the fact that she made her work for it instead of just giving her the win.
Well, that’s actually really selfish to the rest of her teammates who she abandoned during the World Series just to show up and blow the game. I always thought it was legit and Kit really won.
@@83gemm It's subject to debate.
@@83gemm If she hadn’t played, they wouldn’t have had the lead in the game (it was her hit that put them in front in the first place). So, whether she dropped the ball on purpose or not… the outcome would likely have remained the same. If she never came back, they wouldn’t have needed to bat in the bottom of the inning (they would have already won).
Dottie absolutely did not drop the ball on purpose. There is nothing about Dottie's character or behaviour up to that moment that would lead one to conclude that.
It also makes for a TERRIBLE ending -- Kit is a phony and Dottie is a liar who betrayed ALL of her teammates.
It's honestly ridiculous that people think for a second Dottie would be happy for Kit if she LET her win. Dottie is proud of Kit because she EARNED it. Kit won fair and square.
Fun fact: the older ladies, who were playing baseball in the beginning and end of the movie… Those were the real life AAGPBL players. They really do still got it!!! Or… At least they did 30 years ago when this movie came out. RIP to the greatest generation. There are so many great touches to this movie. It’s definitely one of my absolute favorites! 💙💙💙
Betty Spaghetti (who got the telegram about her husband dying in action) was played by Penny Marshall’s daughter, Tracy Reiner. The telegram scene gets me every time. 😢
A classic. When my kids were growing up I used to tell them “There’s no crying in (insert whatever game they were losing)” 😂 I still say it but I don’t think anyone really knows why.
23:35 - Jackie Robinson didn't break the baseball color barrier until 1947. So, this would have been a few years before that.
The woman playing that part, DeLisa Chinn-Tyler, was a softball player. According to Wikipeida:
"Chinn-Tyler, then 31, was cast in the 1992 movie A League of Their Own, which was filmed primarily in Evansville, Indiana after she answered an open casting call advertised in the local paper. At the tryouts she was told there were no parts for Black women due to the fact that at the time the film was set the sport was not integrated, but director Penny Marshall was at the tryouts that day, saw Chinn-Tyler play, and decided to write her into the film."
Madonna's This Used to Be My Playground is one of the most touching, deep and beautiful ballads. She did a great job here. Her song, Tom Hanks and Geena Davis's acting works should have been nominated for the Oscar
I relate to Marla! My sisters and I had a portrait done for our parents 25th anniversary. It was fine.
The photography studio asked to use a copy in their advertisements, which my sisters agreed to (I was a minor). However, they didn’t tell anyone that they were gonna edit me out the portrait. We found out about it when we saw it on a billboard on the highway. When my parents demanded to know why, the photographer said, "that one has a face for radio." My dad slashed his tires and the cops were too "busy" to investigate.
That's a good dad, right there!
Yeah, I dont believe you. 😂😂😂
Tom Hanks has to have the most "piss" scenes in cinema history.
He definitely has "a thing" for urination.
Whenever me or anyone else in my house takes a really long piss, we call it a Tom Hanks Pee.
That scene in the locker room where she learns her husband isn’t coming home is heartbreaking
There was a reunion several years ago and the girl with the huge bruise was there. They asked if that was real or just makeup. She said it was very much real, and to that day she still has scars on her thigh from that.
I saw an interview with Penny Marshal saying they added the scene with them taking the picture because that was such an impressive bruise
Honestly I think this may be your absolute best reaction yet!! You laughed so hard and it was so much fun to see how much you enjoyed this movie and you understood the historical significance. Totally magnificent! Thank you!!
Absolutely the best reaction I've seen from him so far! Which I think I've said on his last three videos that I've watched. He keeps setting the bar high, and somehow still clearing it with ease.
@@MrLovegrove he does, doesn't he?? I find myself rewatching his reactions, for the shuddups and jump scares, but more because he pays attention to the movie itself and understands them. He doesn't become a caricature of himself, so to speak, like some reactors end up doing. If that makes sense...
15:09 “Garbo” is a reference to actress Greta Garbo, who began her career in her home country of Sweden in the silent film era and soon made her way to the United States, where she became a huge star. Many people considered her one of the most beautiful women in the world. Her popularity continued once films added sound (unlike that of many other silent film stars), and she enjoyed popularity in the 1930s. By the 1940s, when this film mostly takes place, she became more reclusive and appeared in fewer films, and her popularity began to wane, but she was still very much a celebrity with a household name. One of her films that I think you would like is the 1939 comedy NINOTCHKA, which was also one of her most popular movies.
Your dogs are so funny. Every time one of them moves under the sheets, I take a drink.
There may be no crying in baseball but there is crying after watching this baseball movie.
Love your reactions!!! Always honest......always heartfelt. 🥰🥰🥰
Rosie O’Donnell is the real deal! She played softball for Boston University! She coached everyone else. Love this movie! 😊 It’s a true story. And I cry every time. Madonna sings and wrote the beautiful song at the end.
I love how your pups look at you with such love!
You Sir, are a joy to watch. I love watching reactors who have genuine compassion and empathy shine through their reactions. Thank you for sharing these with us.
I'm with you she dropped that shit on purpose!
Jon Lovitz was one of the BEST in this film.
I hate when they get attached to me like that!
This is arguably one of the best 20 best movies ever made. This movie makes me tear up every time I watch it. Penny Marshal AKA Lavern definitely hit a home run with this movie. She also put her dad in it plus two actors from her old show "Lavern and Shirly" side note RIP Cindy Williams AKA Shirley. Great movie great reaction.
Actually, Garry Marshall is Penny's brother. I know! He looks so much older.
Amazing classic A League Of Their Own directed by Penny Marshall starring Tom Hanks Geena Davis, Madonna, Rosie O'Donnell, Lori Petty, Jon Lovitz, David Strathairn and Bill Pullman. The music video in this film is the song "This Used to be My Playground" single by Madonna. The famous line is epic "There's no Crying in Baseball". Thank you bro great reaction excellent👍👍👍👍
Geena Davis is a lovely, tall lady (and an Olympic archer to boot!)
"Hey, Madonna somethin' nasty ain't she?" 😂 You're not the first or the last to say that about my Queen. 🤣
To paraphrase a different Tom Hanks movie: Nasty is as nasty does :)
1. Tom Hanks can play a disagreeable character after all. He's the GOAT.
2.Lori Petty/Kit could get it. 😍😋
3. Debra Winger was originally going to star in the film but backed out when Madonna was signed.
4. The death notice delivery guy was all levels of wrong.🥵
5. Luckiest kid in the world because I'm not there to kill him.
6. I suspect Dottie dropped the ball on purpose, so Kit could have her time to shine.
7. Thank you Penny Marshall
The kid in the car trying to hit on Dottie was hilarious.
@@gmunden1 I meant that little brat on the bus.
I absolutely love Madonna in this movie she is such a badass. She really is stunning in this movie.
Have you seen how she looks now?😂
@@charlesdrake3125 Yeah people age.
@Aya A. I'm very aware that people age, that's not what I'm talking about. If you do a search, it will be very evident what I'm referring to.
@@charlesdrake3125 unfortunately yes I have she looks awful the plastic surgery and stuff she tried to do to stay young and relevant is so sad if she would have just let herself age naturally I think she'd be prettier.
@@charlesdrake3125 And? Why do you even care? It doesn't change her HUGE legacy.
This movie really is a classic. Geena Davis was amazing and Tom Hanks was hilarious!
Could not smash the like button fast enough. This is such a classic and amazing film.💯
There's no crying in baseball!
I’m sitting at home with a busted up face after a fall. I’ve been sore & hurting for days & I wish I could truly explain just how much this has cheered me up. Watching a fellow Lexingtonian reacting to one of my favorite movies & enjoying it as much as I do has been better than any of the meds the docs have given me. Thanks so much for this.
Much aporeicated and feel better!
Instant Classic, and it's unspoken but she dropped that ball on purpose
No way.
100%. It sucks for the Peaches, but she knew it meant more to her sister than her.
It's subject to much debate.
@@dr.burtgummerfan439 look at that look and smile at the end says it all
@@KyleBOLL1 It just depends on how you want to view the movie and the characters. I've looked at it both ways. It's valid and memorable either way you interpret it.
Top 3 baseball movie of all time. Stellar performances all around.
top 5. i would put the natural, pride of the yankees, Bull Duraham & field of deams ahead of this one and maybe the Babe with john goodman on par with it.
@@frost1977 " Brewster's Millions "
@@frost1977 No "Money Ball"?
@@frost1977 The Babe sucks by comparison
I don't think I've ever laughed so hard at one of your reactions. Your comments had me rolling. Thanks for the good time! 😂
For some reason the line “btw I loved you in the wizard of oz” has always cracked me up 😂
There's no crying in baseball is something that I have been saying to my sister for years ever since I saw this movie and now I say it to my nieces when they start crying over stuff.. 🤣 My sister and I used to fight like that I am 8 years older but now we are the best of friends. This is my favorite movie.
How it should have ended: Old Dottie hugs old Kit and whispers in her ear: “I dropped the ball on purpose.”
"There's no crying in baseball"
My favorite line!! Used it when coached little league.
If you want another great Tom Hanks movie to check out, Apollo 13 needs to be on your list! It's a true story!
Amazing movie for a reaction
No black women in the league because there wasn’t even black men in national baseball until after the war. Jackie Robinson was the first, I think it was 1947.
I was 18 and watched this in the theatre 3 times and was absolutely in love with it. From a young woman's perspective, watching these women break conventions in a still very traditional and patriarchal time period...and capture the imaginations and admiration because they were great ballplayers....was so inspiring to my 18 year old self. Also, Dottie is the older sister everyone hopes for. Also, she is just so strikingly gorgeous.
Also, Dottie repeatedly shows her iron clutch with a ball. She dropped it on purpose because family trumps everything.
I LOVE how much you enjoyed this. The Prime series of the same name is quite enjoyable too. They have some strong black women in it and their struggles in trying to play ball & also in the general time period.
💛⚾️
My grandma was a professional softball player and was inducted into her towns sports hall of fame. My mom always loved this movie because it reminded her of her mom. 🥲
its in the same context as Saving Private Ryan, not a true story per se but accurate in pretty much every other regard
I enjoyed your enjoyment of this. The screenwriters were a couple of experienced sceenwriters, real pros, Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandel. I forget about Oscars, but the movie was selected for the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress - the TRUE highest honor for movies (and it got there pretty quickly, 20 years after release).
You need to watch Tom Hanks in 'Bachelor Party'. That's one of his classics.
Had to laugh when you referred to Tom Hanks' chatracter as a beast. Hanks' character was based on baseball Hall Of Famer Jimmie Foxx, who had the nickname of "The Beast"
This going you cry and smile at the same time.
I absolutely love this movie, and there’s so many great scenes but my favorite is probably Dottie meeting adult Stillwell. It’s so brief, but you get the impression that that obnoxious little boy grew up to be a good man who adored his mother. The actor did such a great job, and that little shot of him staring at the standee of his mom, and taking a photo with it and then turning back to look at her just kills me.
This is one of my all time favorite movies.
Rosie’s character, Doris, was not scouted by the same man, but she is “traditionally” more attractive than Marla. However, Doris, Kit, and Marla are not up to beauty standards of that era in general unlike May and Dottie. With today’s rules it wouldn’t have mattered that Dottie dropped the ball because Kit wouldn’t be allowed to rush her like that. She got tapped by the ball and that would’ve been it. Please react to “Frequency”, “Bicentennial Man”, “Powder”, “Michael,” “Phenomenon”, and “Meet Joe Black”.
The highest grossing baseball movie ever made.
“Do you think there’s men in America that haven’t seen your breasts?” I really want to think that was Rosie add libbing!
I almost didn’t watch this one because I couldn’t imagine your style of reactions to this kind of movie but this turned out to be one of my favorites of yours. So glad you did this movie and ty for sharing with us!
I appreciate that!
One of the truly great baseball movies!
They would have won if Marla was still there, she was the rock that drove it home. Damn Nelson...
“Avoid the clap, Jimmy Dugan!” The clap is what they used to call the STD gonorrhea lol. And that IS good advice!!
This usually isn't my type of movie but man do I love it, so perfect!
Great movie great acting, Jon Lovitz was hilarious, This Used To Be My Playground, that song gets me everytime.
I was 7 years old when this came out and my family and I always quoted it lol Madonna's song at the end "This Used To Be My Playground" is so beautiful.
75 dollars a week is now 1,304.00 in today time. This is a great movie, it one of those you can watch over and over
The Murder Whistle does make a good point...how the hell did Rosie O'D get in the league, with her looks? For 30 years that one has sailed by me without a 2nd thought lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great reaction. Betty, the lady who became a widow, is the same person who asked Jimmy to sign the baseball card. The actress is the director Penny Marshall’s daughter.
Ya didn’t expect to cry did ya??! Love this movie, great reaction!
Definitely in my top five favorite movies. Maybe it's because I'm the oldest sister, but I loved Kit. She tried so hard and she wanted it more than Dottie. Because in the end, Dottie did love baseball, but she loved her sister more. I feel her. And Tom Hanks was stellar in this; so funny, so animated! Nearly every single line in this movie was a gem; SUCH great writing!
Love Tom Hanks drunk & hungover in this movie 😂
I cannot believe this. I literally just re-watched this movie last week hoping you'd react to it some day. Talk about kismet.
31:52 He said “avoid the clap, Jimmy Dugan” 🤣🤣
I've seen this movie 1,000 times at least. It STILL breaks me every single time. I can't even watch a reaction of it without weeping all over myself.
Glad to know that you really enjoyed this, JL! It’s been a favorite of millions of people (including myself) since it came out in 1992. It’s a fictional story and all of the characters are fictional but it’s based in truth (the Rockford Peaches were a real team, winning 4 championships in their lifetime). “Walter Harvey,” played by Garry Marshall (director Penny Marshall’s older brother and a successful writer-director himself, both in television and movies), was in real life chewing gum magnate and Chicago Cubs owner Philip K. Wrigley. The league lasted from 1943 to 1954, expanding in 1944 to 8 teams, and at one point encompassing 10 teams, all in the Midwest, before it began shrinking in the early Fifties, ultimately disbanding in 1954. The team did not play in the 1943 league championship, as depicted in the film. In real life, the Racine Belles faced the Kenosha Comets in 1943; the Peaches won their first title in 1945.
Evelyn hits the cut off in the last play. Nobody talks about that. Good moment for her.
$75 in 1942 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $1,365.63 today. Remember, even the MLB did not integrate until 1947.
“ ohh these dirty Mf’s played this song “ 😂😂😂😂😂 you funny af bro
😂”hey cowgirls see the grass? Don’t eat it!” 😂😁
100% dropped the ball on purpose. Also, my favorite subtle detail that most people overlook: Evelyn hits the cutoff man on that last relay to 3rd before Kit blows through the stop sign.
Penny Marshall directed this movie from Laverne and Shirley. She has directed a lot of movies actually. Rosie O’Donnell has a lot of funny stories about the making of this movie.
24:02 that bruise was real. They really played baseball for real in this movie. Somethings are obviously edited but for a lot of the game they actually played.
I have never seen anyone get that pissed at the ending of the game 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💀💀💀 I'm dead, man. You are too funny, 😊dude.
You should watch "A Beautiful Mind".
It's kinda like The Usual Suspects when there's a huge plot twist near the end.
Gut belly laughs, serious drama, great actors, direction from Penny Marshall..and old Salty...best reaction channel ever! 🤔✌️👍❤️
I laughed when you said Dotty was being petty toward Kit, since Kit was played by Lori Petty.
At the very end of the credits they show members of the real league playing baseball and it’s so beautiful.
I am not an autograph hound, but I want a baseball that is signed "Avoid the clap, Tom Hanks".
This movie is pretty accurate, not 100%. This is where women's professional sports really started. This would have taken place around 1942-1943 when the US entered WW2.
Yes, Dottie dropped the ball on purpose. She came to realize what Kitt truly was going through.
So glad you loved this movie, I've loved this movie since I saw it as a kid when it first came out.
The TV show is really interesting, but quite different from the movie.
Line of the the reaction “she got that girl reading Smut” 😂😂😂
You might like "forever young" with Mel Gibson. It's another great movie focusd around WW2 to present. And of course Gena dropped that ball on purpose.
This reaction might have some of your best laughs of all time.
When Marla is "singing" and the lady looking for her new red hat.
I was laughing with you so hard.
It's the 40's. Baseball wasn't integrated yet.
Hey really like your movie reactions been going back and watching a lot of them, you have great movie selections. Cancelled some other channels because they got annoying, yours is one of best ones.
🌟
Much appreciated and let us know in the comments what you think of anything in the catalog!
[Edited: Added info about the red hat scene] If you want to see prime early Madonna, you should definitely check out Desperately Seeking Susan with a very young Patricia Arquette.
PS. I just remembered - Mae took the red hat her teammate was looking for in the "piss on your hat...that was uncalled for" scene. Recall it? Doris asked her where she got the dress and Mae said she"borrowed it." Apparently, she also"borrowed" that red hat, too. Mae was a trip
This movie was True story
In answering the question, "How accurate is A League of Their Own?" we learned that while Tom Hanks' character Jimmy Dugan is fictitious, he was loosely inspired by two real-life baseball players from that era, Jimmie Foxx and Hack Wilson. Similar to Hanks' character, both men drank themselves out of their careers.
In real life Geena Davis competed for a spot on the U.S. Olympic Archery Team.
Glad you noticed the music on this one. The composer is a little known guy named Hans Zimmer.
Geena Davis never considered herself an athlete but in 1997 took up archery and then in 1999 she almost made the U.S. Olympic archery team.
Heartfelt reunion with Dottie and Bob.
Next Scene:
Jimmy: WHY AM THE ONLY PERSON ON THIS BUS?!
The old women at the end of the movie are the real life players.
I grew up in Rockford so, even though I was never a baseball fan, I always knew of the Peaches. I drove by their field, which was never taken down, many times. They are now building a hall of fame for the women at that spot and I believe renovating the field as well.
