Jason and Rachel review The Dink on Apple TV, a pickleball comedy that somehow seems to hate pickleball. We get into why the movie isn't very funny, why the pickleball makes no sense, why the cast deserved better, how Andy Roddick and John McEnroe are wasted, why the “dink off” ending is painful, and how a Hallmark movie called Pickleball Christmas somehow did this premise better. Plus: spoon mics in a backyard, Jake Johnson, Ed Harris, Mary Steenburgen, Ben Stiller's gross doctor scene, fake pickleball extras, grunting, May-December weirdness, and the eternal question: who is this movie actually for?
