We start off this week with an instant reaction to the Michael Oher news that his "adoptive" parents, as famously portrayed in 'The Blind Side', were actually just after money, shocker! Then it's on to two early 1970's cancer-fueled sports classics: 'Brian's Song' with Billy Dee Williams & James Caan, and 'Bang the Drum Slowly' with our guy Robert DeNiro, enjoy.

John D. Hancock has directed everything from critically acclaimed theatrical productions, to award winning films, to made-for-TV movies, to producing his own movies in LaPorte, IN. His Academy Award nominated movies, Sticky My Fingers... Fleet My Feet and Bang the Drum Slowly both showcased his ability to ground the action in the reality of the film while humanizing even the vilest of characters. His 1971 cult classic horror pic, Let's Scare Jessica to Death continues to pull in new fans from all over the globe. John talks to me about his life, his work in Off Broadway theaters in NYC, his stint in Hollywood, and why he came back to Indiana. We talk about how music and directing relate to one another. He tells me stories about Charles Durning, Tyne Daly, and Michael Moriarty. We talk about him being fired from Jaws 2 only to be brought in to take over on final production of Wolfen. We commiserate on the many pitfalls of widowhood and how directing his late wife, Dorothy Tristan, in her last, deeply autobiographical film, which she also wrote, The Looking Glass, helped them both come to terms with the inevitable. Find out more about John and his Indiana-based production company here: Filmacres

Espresso fueled review, coming your way, strap in my magical film fans. Six films today, and holy flipping flip, five of them begin with the letter B, wait, 4 1/2. Let's roll! Starting things off today is Robert De Niro in 1973's (Bang the the drum slowly) I know I shouldn't expect a baseball film to be amazing, but the the bingo Darth Vader Richard Pryor one seemed to do ok, also it's well made and we certainly find things to talk about.  Next today is (Busting)1974. Here we have 2 mumbling and bumbling vice cops, played by 70's fav Elliot Gould and Robert Blake, former little rascal and probably another famous person who got away with murder. Very icky, though I think they again got him on a civil suit. Clean up yer trash Hollywood. Film is directed by Peter Hyams who also wrote this quintessential 70's L.A. film. I hope we can visit a location or 2 from this one sometime soon.  Moving on to (the Dion Brothers) 1974. Here is another film with 2 titles, it was originally called the gravy train, these damned films are always making things more confusing then they need to be. I was personally refreshed by the pure insanity of this one, not to build it up too much, but wow. Got a bootleg ish copy of this one, and it definitely needs a blu-ray a billion percent more than our last “Do not reccomend” film the night porter, Dominic shakes his head again, get it together people. This chaos stars Stacy Keach, Frederic Forrest, and Margo Kidder, with a story by jack Starrett. Film is about 2 brothers who give up their dead end jobs to rob an armed car so they can open up a high end seafood restaurant, and they don't seem to know shit about seafood. I do hope y'all can see this one someday, if ya know me I'll run it for you. Next up is (Black Moon) 1975. Imdb says that this is about a girl who goes to a mystical house to escape a gender war. Which as much as I like the film, makes it sound better than it is, to me, still nuts and fun to look at and go “WHAT?!”  Film is directed by a French guy, and that totally tracks. Onward to (Welcome home Brother Charles) 1975. This is the first of 3 films we're reviewing by rad director Jamaa Fanaka, 2 of which we are doin today. Here we have a very run of the mill plot about evil murderous LA cops and their attempt to brutally kill Charles, who survives and rids the world of these racists with his supernatural penis. Oh………. that doesn't sound boring, hmmm.  Jokes aside, yes this is another rad film that melted my brain. Not perfect, but I for one am happy it was written and filmed, and that we watched and reviewed this together.  Finally today we have the other Jamaa film ,(Emma Mae) 1976. many dvd's of this call it Black sister's revenge, again we acknowledge the confusion master, which is also the title of an amazing metal record as well. What to say about this Compton classic except, rad, very rad, and great. Also it's my best of the bunch and I do hope you enjoy our review, and all our reviews today. Please reach out and help spread the word if you can. Thank you as always for listening.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar recently chose this 1973 film as the best baseball movie ever in a blog post, and with it being the opening of MLB season and ourselves big fans of the sport, we decided to watch this new-to-us picture and see for ourselves. While we can't get onboard with Kareem's lofty praise, there is an interesting story with a beautiful central relationship and plenty to discuss.* Note - full spoilers in effect for entire episode *Follow & SubscribeAaronTwitterFacebookLetterboxdPatrickTwitterAn Original Series Podcast TwitterFeelin' FilmFacebookTwitterWebsiteLetterboxdEmail feelinfilm@gmail.comFeelin' Film on Apple PodcastsFeelin' Film on SpotifyFeelin' Film on RepodFeelin' Film on StitcherFeelin' Film on PodchaserNow Playing NetworkJoin the Facebook Discussion GroupJoin the DiscordRate/Review us on iTunes and on your podcast app of choice!

Born in Manhattan in New York City, De Niro studied acting at HB Studio, Stella Adler Conservatory, and Lee Strasberg's Actors Studio. His first major role was in Greetings (1968) and gained recognition with his role as a baseball player in the sports drama Bang the Drum Slowly (1973). His first collaboration with Scorsese was Mean Streets (1973), where he played small-time criminal "Johnny Boy". Stardom followed with his role as young Vito Corleone in Francis Ford Coppola's crime epic The Godfather Part II (1974), which won De Niro the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. For his portrayal of Travis Bickle in Taxi Driver (1976) and a soldier in the Vietnam War drama The Deer Hunter (1978), he earned two nominations for the Academy Award for Best Actor.

Now available for all. Dan Epstein, Josh Wilker and Willie Steele join us to discuss "The Bad News Bears," "Bang the Drum Slowly" and more baseball movies from the 1970s.

The series of novels written by Mark Harris, featuring Henry Wiggen, has been called "the greatest achievement in the canon of baseball fiction." His masterpiece, Bang the Drum Slowly, has been adapted for television, film, stage, and audio theater. The baseball writings of Mark Harris are but one aspect of a varied career as a decidedly liberal, literary voice. Henry Wiggen is immortal, but where has the rest of the work of Mark Harris gone?

How can you not be romantic about podcasting? It’s Opening Day 2021, and to celebrate the greatest unofficial holiday on Earth, Brian Schlosser joined me to vote on a bracket of the best baseball movies and crown a single champion. Hollywood has such an interesting, intimate relationship with America’s pastime, and it was a real treat to watch all of these baseball films—from classics like ‘Bull Durham’ and ‘A League of Their Own,’ to contemporary showstoppers like ‘Moneyball’ and ‘Everybody Wants Some,’ to obscure gems like ‘The History of the Seattle Mariners’ and ‘Bang the Drum Slowly.’ Also 'Fever Pitch,' which sucks, but I love it. Stick to the end to hear Brian & I make our World Series predictions, and if you haven’t yet voted on my Twitter polls for the listener bracket, STAY IN LINE AND VOTE!

WorldCat is the largest online catalog in the world, accessing the collections of more than 72,000 libraries in 170 countries and territories. Using the catalog, a subject search of particular sports turns up the following tally of book titles in the world’s libraries: Boxing: 5164, Hockey: 7083, Cricket: 10,881, Horse Racing: 11,933, Basketball: 12,875, Golf: 16,660, Football: 18,592, Soccer: 19,933, Baseball: 31,206 That’s a lot of baseball books. Fortunately, Ron Kaplan has cut that number down to something a bit more manageable in 501 Baseball Books Fans Must Read before They Die (University of Nebraska Press, 2013). As host of the Baseball Bookshelf blog and bibliography editor of the Society for American Baseball Research, Ron has read a few thousand books on the sport, give or take a couple hundred. His book doesn’t rank them. As he explains in the interview, it was hard enough to pare down his list from 1001 to 501. Instead, he offers an annotated guide, with books grouped by subject. There are instructional books and novels, data-based analyses and tributes to ballparks, biographies of the great players and memoirs of ordinary fans. Ron includes the familiar classics, like Mark Harris’ Bang the Drum Slowly and Jim Bouton’s Ball Four, and makes the case for books that deserve the status of a classic, such as Michael Bishop’s novel Brittle Innings. And Ron reveals a trove of older, overlooked gems: a 1915 instructional manual for college players, Bob Wood’s 1988 guide to ballpark food, and a compilation of Charles Schulz’s baseball-themed Peanuts comics (more than 600 strips when the book was published in 1977). Ron’s expert guide will help in your choices of summer baseball reading. Indeed, you’ll be eager to start on your baseball list after putting down Ron’s book. That is, if you can put it down. Ron’s thoughtful choice of titles and his insightful summaries of the selections make this not only a useful introduction to the baseball library but also a worthy–and enjoyable–addition to its shelves.

Ron includes the familiar classics, like Mark Harris’ Bang the Drum Slowly and Jim Bouton’s Ball Four, and makes the case for books that deserve the status of a classic, such as Michael Bishop’s novel Brittle Innings. And Ron reveals a trove of older, overlooked gems: a 1915 instructional manual for college players, Bob Wood’s 1988 guide to ballpark food, and a compilation of Charles Schulz’s baseball-themed Peanuts comics (more than 600 strips when the book was published in 1977). Ron’s expert guide will help in your choices of summer baseball reading. Indeed, you’ll be eager to start on your baseball list after putting down Ron’s book. That is, if you can put it down. Ron’s thoughtful choice of titles and his insightful summaries of the selections make this not only a useful introduction to the baseball library but also a worthy–and enjoyable–addition to its shelves.
