Grab some peanuts or Cracker Jacks and join Aaron & Rob as they kick of season 7 of the podcast with more "Four Seasons of Film Fun!" For this year's Spring entry, they round the bases on the 1992 period sports dramedy A League Of Their Own, directed by Penny Marshall and starring Geena Davis, Tom Hanks, Madonna, Lori Petty, Rosie O'Donnell, Jon Lovitz, and Bill Pullman. Based around true events, the film is a charmingly bittersweet look at women taking on a more active role with society during WWII, and in many ways, being able to make choices on their own for the first time.
Be careful what you wish for… Ahhh, who amongst us hasn't fallen prey to this old adage? I myself once dreamed of a world where I would have free access to endless Taco Bell and Mountain Dew Livewire - alas, I had to endure an apocalypse in order to get those wishes. Ah well, it was worth it. But, sadly, the same can't be said for my good buddy, Ryan. The fool wished on a Zoltar machine at the local Bartertown carnival and now he's got to deal with an abnormally shrunken head, instead of an abnormally large one. Thankfully, we just so happen to have an answer to Ryan's problem in the video store. And it just so happens to come courtesy of our old pal, Penny Marshall, and America's Sweetheart, Tom Hanks. I'm your host and former thirteen year old, Dave, and joining me as we thirst over Elizabeth Perkins in a Jets jersey are fellow cinephiles Mike, Jackie, and former Big Head, Ryan. Topics of discussion in this episode include the questionable hiring practices at Macmillan Toys; we wonder if Big is just Anne Spielberg writing about her man-child brother, Stevie; and finally, we discuss the fallout of what happened after Susan realized that she had sex with a thirteen year old Manic Pixie Dream Boy / Man.

And remember, don't go wishing on a Zoltar machine unless your city has one hell of a Consumer Affairs department.

The great Jon Lovitz talks about comedy, acting, stand-up comedy, dogs, The Groundlings, Managers, A league of Their Own, The Simpsons, The Critic, and the serendipity of show business. Bio: Jon Lovitz has been one of the best known comedians for the last thirty years. He got his start acting in High School plays and developing his skills at the University of California, Irvine where he earned a B.A. in Drama. He also studied acting with Tony Barr at the Film Actors Workshop. At the advice of Tony Barr, Jon decided to concentrate solely on comedy. He began taking classes with the famous improv comedy group, “The Groundlings” in 1982. One year later, after being accepted into “The Sunday Company”, Jon got his first acting job on the television show “The Paper Chase: the Second Year”. Thinking he was on his way, he promptly quit his job at a clothing store…and became a messenger. The next three years – nothing!!! Then, in September of 1984, he was accepted into the main company at “The Groundlings”.On March 28, 1985, “The Groundlings” appeared on “The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson” where Jon premiered his character “Tommy Flanagan of Pathological Liars Anonymous”. Following the introduction of this persona, Jon got an agent, and booked a movie, a series, a voice over for a cartoon, and “Saturday Night Live”. Jon has been working non-stop since. He was nominated for an Emmy his first two years on “Saturday Night Live”. While on SNL, he became known for his characters “Tommy Flanagan of the Pathological Liars Anonymous” (“Year, that's the ticket”), “Master Thespian”, “Hanukkah Harry”, and “the Devil”. He has appeared in over 40 films, including “Big”, “A League of Their Own”, “The Wedding Singer”, “High School High”, “Small Time Crooks”, “Rat Race”, “The Producers”, “Eight Crazy Nights”, “The Benchwarmers”, “Grown Ups 2”, “The Ridiculous 6”, among many others. He has also worked with acclaimed directors such as Penny Marshall, Rob Reiner, Jerry Zucker, and Woody Allen. He one of a handful of actors used regularly in almost all his movies by Adam Sandler.This year, in 2024, he just completed the lead character in the film “The Toast” and will be appearing in “Happy Gilmore 2” starring Adam Sandler.Along with his comedy, Jon is well known for his distinctive voice. He was the lead voice for the character “Jay Sherman” in the acclaimed cult cartoon series, “The Critic”. He has also appeared in twelve episodes of “The Simpsons”, even creating the character of Marge Simpson's boyfriend, “Artie Ziff” (who sounds suspiciously like Jay Sherman). Jon has also appeared on Broadway at the Music Box Theatre in Neil Simon's play “The Dinner Party”, taking over the lead role from Henry Winkler. He has sung (yes, he can sing!) at Carnegie Hall three times (including “Great Performances: Ira Gershwin at 100: A Celebration at Carnegie Hall) and sung the National Anthem at Dodger Stadium and the U.S. Open. He also sang with English rock star, Robbie Williams at the Royal Alpert Hall and appears on his album, “Swing While You're Winning!”He currently is performing his new musical comedy show, “From the Shower to the Stage” with celebrated musical conductor and arranger, Randy Waldman. Randy has been Barbra Streisand's personal pianist for the last 36 years and is her current musical conductor as well.Jon has also had an illustrious television career. He was the first famous guest star on the hit show “Friends”. In the same week, he appeared on an episode of Seinfeld. Jon also has had recurring roles on “Hot in Cleveland”, “Las Vegas”, “Two and a Half Men”, “Hawaii Five-O”, and “New Girl”.Editing Notes: Jon Lovitz episode seem to go on and on. Jon won't stop talking. Interested in how you think it is. I think I talk too much about wanting to have sex with Kate Upton. I do it TWICE. (Kate Upton might not be famous anymore) Funny? If not, feel free to cut it.
In 1943, Philip K. Wrigley (of chewing gum fame!) founded the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League (AAGPBL) in order to maintain sport and public morale during World War II, at a time when many eligible young men, including professional sportsmen, were drafted to fight overseas.Whilst A League of Their Own is a mostly fictional account of the players and founders behind the AAGPBL, it still tells a story of the real-life resilience, spirit and tenacity of the young women involved, many of whom had husbands fighting in the war, coming together to provide entertainment and boost the morale of the nation through sport, despite the sexism and misogyny of the era.Penny Marshall's 1992 movie remains my favourite, and dare I say it, the greatest sports movie of all time. A story of determination, sisterly love, sacrifice and friendship within the very real backdrop of World War II, when women could finally prove they were more than just potential housewives and mothers.Geena Davis embodies the 40s starlet as the statuesque, seemingly perfect Dottie Hinson. Tom Hanks, playing against type as alcoholic ex-player-turned-manager Jimmy Dugan delivers most of the movie's iconic lines. Lori Petty as Kit Keller, just wants to step out of her older sister's perfect shadow and Madonna, in probably one of her most beloved screen roles, as "All The Way" Mae Mordabito, with a great on-screen comedic partnership with Rosie O'Donnell's brash Doris Murphy.Even though the real AAGPBL was dismantled in 1954, its legacy lives on in this movie. It encapsulates a time in recent history that not many are still alive to tell the story of. Sadly, Mary Pratt, the last remaining member of that inaugural 1943 Rockford Peaches roster, passed away just before this episode was (originally) released. She lived to 101 and spent her life championing women's sport.These women were inspirational, trail-blazing, legacy-creating and really were in a league of their own.Episode originally released 14th May 2020Mentioned in this episode:From the ArchiveThere's no new episode this week, so I thought you might be interested in revisiting this slightly older, but no less brilliant episode. Just bear in mind, this episode is several years old, it may not sound quite as polished as newer episodes, and new information may have come to light in recent years with regards to the making of this movie (please see above for the original date of release) Please enjoy this time capsule of an episode.

In which the Mister and Monsters join me in reviewing A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN (1992), from writers Kim Wilson, Kelly Candaele, Babaloo Mandel and Lowell Ganz; the film was directed by Penny Marshall. A heartwarming and inspiring film about two sisters, Dottie and Kit (Geena Davis and Lori Petty) who join a women's baseball league that forms during World War II. Together with their teammates, a motley crew of interesting women and personalities, they navigate the challenges of societal expectations, while proving their talent and determination. The film clocks in at 2 h and 8 m, is rated PG and we watched it on DVD but it's currently available to buy/rent on Prime Video. Please note there are SPOILERS in this review. #ALeagueOfTheirOwn #PennyMarshall #KimWilson #KellyCandaele #LowellGanz #BabalooMandel #GeenaDavis #Dottie #LoriPetty #Kit #TomHanks #JimmyDugan #Madonna #Mae #RosieODonnell #Doris #MeganCavanagh #Marla #TracyReiner #Betty #BittySchram #Evelyn #AnnCusack #Shirley #AnneRamsay #Helen #FreddieSimpson #EllenSue #JustinScheller #Stilwell #DavidStrathairn #Ira #GarryMarshall #Walter #JonLovitz #Ernie #BillPullman #Bob #MarkHolton #AdultStilwell #FridayFamilyFilmNight Opening intro music: GOAT by Wayne Jones, courtesy of YouTube Audio Library --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jokagoge/support

Tom Hanks, Geena Davis and director Penny Marshall knocked it out of the park with 1992's A League of Their Own. A fictionalized retelling of the real-life All American Girls Professional Baseball League, the film scored big at the box office thanks to a game cast, big drama, and iconic screenplay ("There's no crying in baseball."). But now, decades later, does the 2-hour plus run time feel like one too many innings? Is Kit Keller the world's worst kid sister? And, how well does Madonna fare upon rewatch? The Old Roommates slide into home and revisit the 90's classic through their middle-aged lens. Listen to this. Old Roommates can be reached via email at oldroommatespod@gmail.com.

We start with a quick report from a local nerd convention, where Kevin met up with some heroes of 1970s kids TV: Our old friends Wesley Eure and Kathy Coleman from Land of the Lost, our new friends Doug and Emmy Jo from The New Zoo Revue... and the legendary Sid Krofft. (We're still sort of freaking out about that last one...) Then Kevin and the Mayor of Chickentown look at the prime time TV shows that debuted half a century ago, in the year 1974. It's a short list (there were just three networks, kids), but it includes some long-running classics like Happy Days, Good Times, Little House on the Prairie, and Rockford Files. It also includes some short-lived shows that few remember, even if their casts included future stars like Jodie Foster, Penny Marshall, and Mark Hamill. And if you're looking for a show about Swedish immigrants in 1850s Minnesota starring Kurt Russell, the android from Logan's Run, and Bobby Brady's brother... we've got you covered there too.

1992's A League of Their is the highest-grossing baseball film of all time, according to some vaguely sourced trivia Amy found on the internet. But even if that's not strictly true, the film about a 1940's women's baseball league deserves its place in the sports movie canon. Gabby and Amy welcome their pal Jess to discuss the film's enduring appeal.
The Dames chat about the directorial work of the very underrated Penny Marshall, focusing on Jumpin' Jack Flash, Big, and A League of Their Own. Just remember: there's no crying in baseball (except there is).

The Not Ready for Prime Time Podcast: The Early Years of SNL
Is there a better way to celebrate Mardi Gras than staging a live television special from a number of different locations throughout New Orleans after the sun goes down? We didn't think so either. And then we saw what can happen when you do just that. Chaos. Simply said...chaos.Maybe there is a reason this is the ONLY time SNL has gone live on location for an entire episode. With guest stars Penny Marshall, Cindy Williams, Henry Winkler, Eric Idle, and musical guests Randy Newman, The New Leviathan Orchestra, and supposedly The Meters, the show looks to pack more into an hour and a half than anyone thought possible. Luckily, we have special guests of our own returning to the podcast as Dennis Perrin and Ian Fermaglich help weed through all of the details of the show and to find out what the true meaning of "Mardi Gras" is.

It's a movie that simultaneously highlights the impact of women during a critical time in U.S. history, celebrates the bonds of sisterhood, and explores the dynamics of sibling rivalry. It also happens to be one of America's most beloved sports films, and to this day, remains the highest-grossing baseball movie of all time. We are of course talking about the 1992 hit “A League of Their Own,” directed by Penny Marshall and boasting a powerhouse cast including Geena Davis, Lori Petty, Tom Hanks, Madonna, Rosie O'Donnell, and Jon Lovitz. From behind-the-scenes stories about filming to the tension caused by Madonna's casting, to the controversial scene cut from the movie, to the hotly debated question of whether Dottie dropped the ball on purpose, we discuss all this and so much more! *A special thank you to friend and listener Marsha for her audio clip.

Oscar-winning actress, mother, championship archer, film festival director, memoirist, founder of the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media…Geena Davis has many hats but wears them lightly. The star of such enduring films as Beetlejuice, A League of their Own, and Thelma & Louise is a cut-up at heart, as Leonard and Jessie quickly learned. It's easy to see how she has accomplished so much, especially in the area of female representation in media. She's smart and talented but also endearing…and happy to talk about the people she's worked with (from Penny Marshall to Tim Burton) as well as her history as a creator of whimsical inventions.
