LOL at Mina previewing her James Earl Jones take at 36:50.
Listen to the Best of the Best review she did with David Chang and Chris Ying a martial arts flop which also features James Earl Jones
This was a very specially movie for me growing up. Easily, one of the most beloved things from my childhood overall, not just beloved baseball movies or movies. As an impressionable 5 year old The Sandlot endeared baseball to me eternally.
the sandlot angels in the outfield mighty ducks 1-3 little giants space jam air bud ..the 90's had a lot of sports movies for kids that I still enjoy today...it felt like 1 time a year you could relly on it
@@razkable yeah it was a unique era. So many high quality kids sports movies in less than 10 years. I remember really trying to get my golden retriever Harry (after Harry Potter of course) to pass me a basketball off his nose. He could shake, sit, and even roll over, but he was never destined to play basketball 😂
I feel like the sandlot is a kids shawshank redemption. Both explore true friendship between guys brought together by a tough situation. Ones a jailbreak and the other is a heist. And they came out quite close together
Today I learned I can’t watch podcasts with Mina Kimes. I end up just staring at her for a minute and zoning out, then I have to backtrack to figure out what they’re talking about.
Idk all my friends remember the sandlot as a classic. I was a 92 baby.
It’s not about baseball. It about being with your friends during summer. Of course there always going to be someone that’s good at sports. As friends we help him. That’s
what friends do
Mentioned the Mighty Ducks crossover for Benny and Kenny, but glossed over the Great Bambino crossover as the keeper in The Big Green
*Great Hambino
Babe Ruth had been brought back into prominence in 1961 with Roger Maris, so I think 1962 was intentional.
Sending in a pinch runner for a guy on third base is what aged the worst
Lasorda was sending messages
The audience clearly knows why Mr Mertil couldn't play in the major leagues. Smalls however did not and genuinely thought it was because he went blind.
don’t mean to sound dumb but can you explain? 😭
@@jadenmendez8759 Mr. Mertil is black. Black people were not allowed to play in Major League when Babe Ruth still playing.
As in, James Earl Jones played Mertil, Mertil was black and Major League Baseball didn’t have their first black player until Jackie Robinson in 47.
forever....forever...forever
We need a major league rewatchable forsure
Mina did really great in this Rewatchables episode. You guys should have her over for more future sport-related episodes.
Great pick for a rewatchable it's probably in my top 5 for movies I've seen the most.. movies and music and sports are my 3 main passions and this does great in 3 of those. I alos never tire of coming of age stories they are so relatable and bring back some great memories.. 😊
I think the point of the fence not being fixed is that James earl Jones and Hercules are now accepted into the community. The kids go and talk baseball and play with the dog. The fence isnt needed anymore. Even though that isnt really realistic I think its somewhat that.
They came to a Longhorns game last season! 🤘
The Sandlot is one of the movies I saw when I was like 4 or 5 years old where I have nostalgia for moments but I don't remember the whole thing. I remember the fun vibe, but I especially remember the scary parts and the fence coming down because those parts specifically resonated with me. My brother and I would always lose balls of the fence in our backyard and that felt somehow nostalgic at the time when I was like 5 years old watching this move.
Adult Smalls plays Red Sox owner John Henry in Moneyball
They continually tear the parents down in this movie but I’d maintain those parents raised a far better generation than the parents of today are raising.
Why are u guys so awesome ?
Rubin is so off it hurts. Sandlot is definitely on Mount Rushmore for any sports movie
Amazing film!
Kenny was also in the car when Merlin Santana was killed
Also, as a former little leaguer, and a really bad one at that, Smalls should be in right field, not center. You put the worst kid in right field, everybody knows that
Can confirm. Played right field.
Way out where the dandelions grow.
Isn’t it left field? In the MLB, the better fielder and arm is in Left?
Dang these are the best people they could find to do a rewatchable for Sandlot and it sounds like don't really even care for it.
How great was Vin Scully in "For the Love of the Game". Also, NOT MENTIONED here.
The best SPORT MOVIE ever**
Bull Durham,Slap Shot,Hoosiers,Raging Bull
Benny the Jet is obviously a Willie McGee type
I'd say the better comp for Benny the Jet would be Billy North. Leadoff hitter with a lousy OBP and good speed...
Good Boys,IT,Stand By Me,Stranger Things,Fantastic Five,Lord Of The Flies all about young kids going on adventures with an easy premise sometimes complex brings people back to their youth it's timeless all popular easiest way to get a box office hit
I like the part where the kids are chewing tobacco for the first time, and regretted it big time, how the narrator says they did the most stupidest thing they had ever done
I think you missed a lot about what life was like in the 60s I lived in So CA around the time of that movie. Couple of things stand out
As a kid growing up then, I wasn't really aware of the Negro leagues. Sad but true. Also, playing ball with minorities wasn't that unusual. I had very integrated classes back then. It wasn't until I moved to Indiana that I was really exposed to racism. I guess you really had to be there, rather than relying on what you know now. Things really were different 55-60 years ago
Why be sad you weren't aware as a child? When you still believe in Santa can you also still live in an aspirational world not obsessed with race and a media pounding in our brains "Remember you all hate one another because of your race. Remember? Remember? Stay divided. You hate each other. Never forget."
2nd best baseball movie after major league
Greatest Trio
This movie was about your friends being the Hero's. But actually it was about the writers. neighborhood bullies that he turned into Hero's
I think the review of the "dad", Bill, by Dennis Leary was kind of an ass/basic bitch take. He was a step-father, which is not easy on either party, be it the kid or the dad. Of course their relationship gonna be a bit strained. They have totally opposite personalities etc. So he wasn't the "hardass" you paint him to be and in the end respected Smalls for admitting what he did, improving their relationship. And the mom didn't "shame" him for being inventive, she just didn't want him to miss out on the important things in life. My mom was the same, does that make her parenting questionable?
Yeah that was a bad take
Please do Like Mike
@Mister Roger why not?
someone please tell Bill to stop cutting off Mallory. She is James Harden and any other person on a podcast with her is automatically PJ Tucker. GET OUT OF THE WAY AND LET HER COOK.
or just... best movie ever
yerr wrong, Daaaaan.
The best 'kids baseball movie' (as was defined) is easily.... EASILY: "Rookie of the Year."
Because it's actually about BASEBALL, not a freakin dog & k-nex or what ever that engineering toy was.
You got prime Gary Busey, throwin junk on the mound cuz his arm is gone ; friggin JOHN CANDY doing broadcasting, in the "Harry Caray" type role; Daniel Stern as the weird equipment manager (one of the robbers from "Home Alone" & in his first directing gig); the beautiful Diane Lane, if I'm not mistaken; and you have a doctor character that says " _MONKEY BUTT-LOVIN_ '!!!" after being smacked in the nose by the lead kid, at the doctors appointment where he learns about his arm's new quick twitch motion.
It completely blows "The Sandlot" out of the water. Hell, this may not be a baseball movie, but Sandlot isn't even as good as, "The Little Giants."
Mina!
Bad News Bears has it all over The Sandlot. Walter Matthau & Vic Morrow, Tatum O'Neal throwing heat, Jackie Earle Haley riding a Harley and hitting on ballet students. The Cool Carl Paranski shift was 25 years ahead of its time. Tanner Boyle flat-out eats Ham Porter's lunch. And, oh yeah, the goddamn Carmen score.
No. Just...no. Bad News Bears is so fucking dated it's not even funny. Kindly remove this trash take and put it in the disco heap where it belongs.
Within the first 3 minutes I got complete affirmation that I'm not a sports person. I've only heard of 2 of the movies they mention, including this one. I was like "there's more than one little kid baseball movie??" 😅
Why does it take so long to post these Rewatchables?
never seen sandlot, would've preferred a bad news bears rewatchable
Love this show in bulk, but this episode is filled with terrible takes. Smalls' mom isn't discouraging him from being smart. He's clearly articulated the desire to have friends and to be outside with them; she's trying to encourage him to get out there so he can. You know, back in the day that's what kids did. You went outside and played and the result was friends. As for the omission of the race stuff, they absolutely did the correct thing. Nothing yells louder "I'm a member of the media" than being obsessed with race. This is a kids' movie. These kids are the age that believe in Santa still. Do we really need to be engaging them in the complications of global (because this is not just a US challenge) and United States race issues? No, we do not. They might just grow up and live in a world that when they are of age to understand some of the bullshit that happened, they instead desire to live in the world they saw in The Sandlot where white kids, black kids, and hispanic kids all just simply play ball together.
mallory being mad they didn't mention the negro leagues and then complaining about the pool scene is why 2020 sucks
"Comin' up next! Why woke females are ruining the fun of sexual assault in kids movies!"
not the best Rookie of the year or Angles in the Outfield is better
Ben Simmons week should not be a thing.
Just continuing to validate all the shit that was said about The Ringer. I'm not particularly mad about Simmons doing something for his kid. Cool. But if you've got black talent trying to get an opportunity and you're saying it's not 'open mic night' but then you turn around and do stuff like this...it makes you seem like a duplicitous liar.
Nah. Hardball
This headline is fucking blasphemy. The best kids sports movie is The Bad News Bears. The first one.
chicks dont understand sandlot
Yea. No Chris Ryan or Fenessey. Smh. It’s fucking Sandlot
That's a ridiculous statement. Do you even know why you mean when you say that?
i think they can...its about childhood....chicks don't get like mike..thats a pure boy movie imo...
“Little Big League” & “Rookie Of The Year” > “Sandlot”
Negative Ghost Writer
I never liked Rookie of the Year. Even as a kid i thought it was corny. Much preferred Little Big League but Sandlot always was my #1 of this type of film. But you make me want to watch it again. Maybe I’ll be less cynical now that im a father
I don't think Mina Kimes' talent matches the amount of exposure she gets. She's popping up on all these podcasts, even PFF, and she's just not THAT deal. See the comments section for the thirst brigade fawming over her like she's a dime even though she's just aiiight.
You are fat aren't you, lol
