In this episode of Film Stories with Simon Brew, a massive hit sci-fi movie that came from smaller origins, and a baseball film that, well, hit problems.The story of I, Robot the movie - in theory based on the work of Isaac Asimov - started with an indie script that was set effectively in one room. But over time, the film escalated, at one stage attracting Arnold Schwarzenegger. Still, when it got made, there was a disagreement ahead...There was a hell of a disagreement on 1999's baseball movie For Love Of The Game too, regarded as the forgotten Kevin Costner baseball movie. Directed by Sam Raimi, things were going find - right up until very different views on the final cut of the film...---Find Simon on Twitter at @simonbrew, and the podcast can be found at @filmstoriesSupport this podcast: www.patreon.com/simonbrew.Find our print magazines at store.filmstories.co.uk Hosted on Acast.

We're talking about baseball for the last time as Kevin Costner plays a Detroit Tigers pitcher in For Love Of The Game. The film spends about an equal amount of time between the Costner/Kelly Preston love story and him trying to achieve something monumental: throw a perfect game.   We thought the romance had too many tonal problems to take it seriously, although you can't say it was shoehorned in. It's essential to the way director Sam Raimi tells the flashback-heavy story. Even though we admired a lot of the action depicted on the diamond, we were pedants about A LOT of the errors. Costner's 3rd baseball flick is just a frustrating experience, although there are some moments that are as exciting as a game-winning home run in the bottom of the 9th.   So clear the mechanism as we talk to ourselves on the mound and maybe shed some tears in our penultimate episode about For Love Of The Game.   Our email address is scoringatthemovies@gmail.com and our Twitter accounts are @moviefiend51 and @scoringatmovies.

Yes, it's another Kevin Costner. Will it cause as many arguments as Tin Cup? Well, listen to us discuss For Love Of The Game to find out!... or you could read the next paragraph, I guess. As a love story, it's certainly not as creepy as Tin Cup, but there is some odd miscommunication between the two leads that could've been avoided. Baseball legend Billy Chapel is fond of his girlfriend, but we're not sure he likes her as much as the sport. Speaking of, the art of the baseball pitcher is marvellously captured by For Love Of The Game. So, we discuss the odd position of the pitcher: the solo sportsman within a team. But, we're getting ahead of ourselves.

Join Life Coach Janet Zipper and Renowned Hypnotherapist Gale Glassner ACH, as they interview Director and Producer Gillian Greene, TV, Film, Broadway Actor Fran Kranz and Model, TV and Film Actress Eugenia Kuzmina. We are excited to be talking about their new Film Fanboy which is distributed by Amazon Prime Video. Fanboy is about a video store employee named Jeremiah Brennan who is the world's biggest Sam Raimi fan. He's also hopelessly in love with his co-worker Tracy, who hardly notices him. So when Jeremiah hears that Raimi is auditioning actors to play the role of 'Gus' in FOR LOVE OF THE GAME 2, he spontaneously makes the trip from South Carolina to Hollywood, thinking that if he wins the part, he'll win Tracy's heart... but little does he know of the mishaps and heartbreak that Tinseltown has in store for him. An 'Alice' in a very hostile 'Wonderland,' Jeremiah encounters a number of idiosyncratic showbiz characters who derail his plan again and again. Yet, just when Jeremiah is at his lowest and ready to throw in the towel, he manages to meet his idol Sam Raimi and land the role of his life.

Content Warning: This episode contains brief references to sexual abuse that happens in the film.We discuss Tommy Lee Jones’ second directorial effort, The Homesman. SPOILERS begin at the 08:10 minute mark.

In the tradition of Ernie Banks, the beefers say “Let’s play two” with a double bill about heartbreak on and off the baseball diamond and the brotherhood between a pitcher and his catcher. First up, when a player on a minor league club gets some devastating news, it’s up to his friend to keep his secret and help give him a season to remember. Robert DeNiro and Michael Moriarty star in Bang The Drum Slowly. Then, Billy Chapel finds struggle, love and eventual release when he is forced to retire from his professional career with the Detroit Tigers and dodge one difficult blonde. Kevin Costner, Kelly Preston and John C.  Reilly star in the Sam Raimi directed For Love Of The Game.

Thirty years after "Bull Durham," Kevin Costner remains one of baseball's most recognizable avatars. Between 1988 and 1999, the square-jawed, iron-armed movie star made three films about the quintessentially American aura of the game: "Field of Dreams," "Bull Durham," and "For Love Of The Game." This week, we're joined by Houston Chronicle reporter and Astros beat writer Hunter Atkins to assess Costner's baseball abilities, update Susan Sarandon's "Bull Durham" character, and question whether "Dad, do you wanna have a catch?" is just too much. Happy Opening Day to you and yours.

John (@kesseljunkie) and Mike (@mumbles3k) discuss the overlooked Sam Raimi classic, For Love of the Game, featuring the re-recording sound mix work of The Empire Strikes Back alum Gregg Landaker. Along the way, Mike tries to woo a disaffected football fan to the ranks of baseball watchers.JOIN THE MISSION!Subscribe in Apple PodcastsFeedback: TheNerdParty.com/ContactFacebook: facebook.com/TheNerdPartyTwitter: @JoinNerdParty #GreatShotKidInstagram: @TheNerdParty #GreatShotKid
