A League of Their Own (1992) is the rare baseball movie that isn't really about baseball — it's a sibling rivalry story, a look at 1940s sexism, and (we'd argue) one of the best examples of age-accurate casting in film history. Brian and John break down Penny Marshall's classic: Tom Hanks' pivot from comedy to the dramatic roles that led to Cast Away and Forrest Gump, the Kit/Dottie rivalry that drives the whole plot, what the film gets right (and skips) on race and sexism in the 1940s, and the ending debate that still splits fans. A movie reaction and deep-dive discussion for baseball fans and non-sports fans alike. 00:00 Introduction — A League of Their Own (1992) Review 03:53 A League of Their Own's Real Story: Sibling Rivalry Between Kit & Dottie 14:54 The Least "Baseball" Baseball Movie Ever Made 17:31 A League of Their Own and 1940s Sexism, Explained 25:05 Tom Hanks: Comedy vs. Drama in A League of Their Own 34:01 Did Dottie Drop the Ball on Purpose?

This week we're talking about the food items in movies that made us want to reach through the screen and take a bite. Sometimes a piece of pizza just looks so ridiculously good that it becomes as memorable as the movie itself.
