Podcast appearances and mentions of Ron Shelton

This week on Born to Watch, we lace up our Asics, slap on a second singlet, and head to the sun-soaked courts of Venice Beach as we rewind to 1992 with our White Men Can't Jump Review, a film that might be the most gloriously nineties thing we've ever reviewed. From hypercolor hats to bike shorts over trackies, this movie is a time capsule of an era when trash talk was an art form and hustling was a full-time job.Whitey and G Man go deep on this cult classic, remembering their own basketball glory days and how this film shaped their approach to trash talk on and off the court. More than just a sports movie, White Men Can't Jump is a gritty, witty, and surprisingly layered look at addiction, betrayal, and self-destruction, with a side of slam dunks and “yo mama” jokes.Woody Harrelson's Billy Hoyle is the kind of guy who can't get out of his own way, while Wesley Snipes' Sidney Deane has charm, ambition, and just enough hustle to burn his own mates. Together, they're magic on the court, but it's off the court where their flaws truly shine. Gloria, played by Rosie Perez, may be one of the most annoying characters in cinematic history, but she's also a vital part of the film's emotional punch, and maybe, just maybe, part of Billy's downfall.The boys ask the big questions: Is this actually a comedy? Or is it a cleverly disguised tragedy about two men who can't get out of their own way? Is Gloria the real villain? And why does Sidney wear a cycling cap to play basketball? There are critical breakdowns of the basketball action (which holds up surprisingly well), deep dives into the fashion, and stories of real-life trash talk glory from the Narrabeen Fitness Camp days.We cover everything from the impeccable chemistry between Harrelson and Snipes to the deeper themes that still resonate today. And yes, we've got the stats: box office, critical reception, director Ron Shelton's sporting film pedigree, and why this movie may be more about green than black or white.So grab your Gatorade, stretch out like Billy on the sideline, and settle in for a Born to Watch deep cut that'll take you back to a simpler time—when all you needed was a ball, a dream, and someone to hustle.Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts!Join the conversation:Is Billy Hoyle the most frustrating character in sports movie history?Was Gloria's Jeopardy obsession genius or just plain annoying?Who had the better game—Billy or Sydney?Please drop us a voicemail at BornToWatch.com.au and be part of the show!#BornToWatch #WhiteMenCantJump #WesleySnipes #WoodyHarrelson #RosiePerez #90sBasketball #MovieHustle #TrashTalkLegends #RonShelton #MoviePodcast

Baseball month continues, and we're sticking with Kevin Costner. We step back in time a year to 1988 to discuss the baseball romantic dreamed Bull Durham! Crash Davis, Nuke LaLoosh, and Annie Savoy find themselves in a love triangle after Crash is sent down to the Single-A Durham Bulls to mentor Nuke. Bull Durham is widely beloved, considered one of the best sports movies ever made, and was a key moment in the careers of Costner, Tim Robbins, Susan Sarandon, and writer/director Ron Shelton. But, what will our hosts think? We're joined by new friend of the show Ben Zaiser to break things down. What's your favorite baseball movie? Let us know at cinemaontappodcast@gmail.com

We're celebrating the start of the baseball season by digging into one of the sport's great movie romances: Ron Shelton's steamy 1988 classic Bull Durham, starring Kevin Costner, Susan Sarandon, and Tim Robbins in a love triangle fans are calling "Challengers for straight people"! Join in as we discuss our own minor league experiences, Kevin Costner's star trajectory, our feelings on various baseball rule changes, and messy kitchen sex. Plus: What happened to the Disney "based on a true story" sports movies? What's the best basketball movie? And can minor-league teams not afford full-size towels?

To celebrate baseball's opening day, I'm re-running this classic episode with Ron Shelton, the award-winning screenwriter and director of the movie Bull Durham.

Carson Lund's feature debut EEPHUS moves at the same deliberate pace as the trick pitch for which it's named, leisurely unfolding over the course of a season-ending game between two small-town recreation leagues that's also probably the last time many on the field will ever play. This week we're joined again by film critic and baseball lover Tim Grierson to discuss how EEPHUS approaches that sense of finality with low-key humor and a subtle sense of nostalgia, before bringing Ron Shelton's BULL DURHAM back on the field to compare these two films' ideas about aging, masculinity, and America's pastime, emphasis on the “past.” And in Your Next Picture Show we offer a recommendation for another unconventional baseball movie that offers a rarely seen perspective on the game, 2008's SUGAR. Please share your thoughts about BULL DURHAM, EEPHUS, or anything else in the world of film, by sending an email or voice memo to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.

Quietly observing as a small-town recreation league plays out their last game of the season, and likely ever, the new EEPHUS is a feature-length subversion of “the big game,” simultaneously embracing and rejecting such baseball-movie cliches in a manner that reminded us of 1988's BULL DURHAM. We're joined this week by pinch-hitter Tim Grierson to discuss all the ways Ron Shelton's classic, often cited as the best baseball movie ever, throws out the sports-movie playbook, from its multiple protagonists and rom-com structure to its acknowledgment that baseball, like life, has an expiration date. And in Feedback, a frequent contributor returns with some bonus observations from our recent pairing of PRESENCE and THE OTHERS.

The story of two journalists reporting on a common cause despite their vastly different backgrounds is what gives NO OTHER LAND its narrative shape — and is what inspired us to pair it with 1984's THE KILLING FIELDS — but the Oscar-nominated documentary is at heart a story about activism, and the weight of maintaining hope amid a generations-spanning conflict with no resolution in sight. We're joined again this week by Slate culture writer Sam Adams to discuss how NO OTHER LAND makes the political personal, then bring THE KILLING FIELDS back in to compare these two portrayals of journalism from very different moments in journalism history, and the quandaries of privilege and guilt that accompany partnerships of unequals. Then in Your Next Picture Show we tout SWIMMING TO CAMBODIA and Jonathan Demme's ability to spin Spalding Gray's monologue about his bit role in THE KILLING FIELDS into a BTS feature like none other.

Looks like we're going to be here a while, let's get going on some podcast - Dave takes 2003's Hollywood Homicide off the shelf. Phil wonders how so many talented people could make such a waste of time. Harrison Ford phoning it in, literally! Ron Shelton losing the charm of his early films by delivering a sloppy plot. Dave remembers this movie more fondly and tries to defend the choices made (but fails) and may drive Phil crazy by the end. 

La Franquicia reabre su videoclub con un clásico noventero de las pelis de deportes: Los blancos no la saben meter (Ron Shelton, 1992). Un título con reminiscencias eróticas, alejado de su argumento real, en el que dos buenos jugadores de basket callejero (uno blanco, Woody Harrelson, y otro negro, Wesley Snipes) intentan ganar un dinero en las canchas, aliándose y engañándose según toque, con grandes dosis de "trash-talking", humor y canastas espectaculares.

Welcome back to another episode of the Video Store Podcast! As baseball season is winding down, we've selected four more baseball films to help you get through the post-season, especially if your team isn't looking quite as good as they were at the start. Batting first is 1988's Bull Durham, written and directed by Ron Shelton. This film is a wonderful snapshot of minor league ball in the late 80s and reminds the audience that it's not just about the game. It's about figuring out who you are and what you want out of life, regardless of your occupation. Starring Kevin Costner, Susan Sarandon, and Tim Robbins, it's a drama that will keep you swinging for the fences. Next up is 1989's Major League. A wealthy divorcee obtains the Cleveland Indians in the divorce but wants to relocate the team to a warmer climate. However, the escape clause only triggers if attendance drops below a certain threshold. Stacking the team with nobodies and has-beens, she hopes to move to Miami by the end of the season. When the team learns why they've been dealt the hand they've dealt, they rally to show her what they're really made of. It's a cheeky comedy that will make you stand up and cheer. Batting third in our line up is The Natural from 1984, starring Robert Redford, Glenn Close, Robert Duvall, Kim Basinger, Wilford Brimley, Barbara Hershey, Darren McGavin, and Robert Farnsworth. Adapted from a book of the same name by Bernard Malamud, The Natural is a 4-time Academy Award-nominated film about finding your purpose, even in less-than-ideal circumstances, and knowing that you could be “the greatest that ever was.”On clean-up duty is 1989's Field of Dreams. If you podcast it, they will come, and they hopefully will check out this film. Field of Dreams is about creating space, both literally and figuratively, for the unimaginable. It's about making peace with your past, and moving towards a better future. It's a truly beautiful film, nominated for three Academy Awards, and boasts an incredible cast of performers, including Kevin Costnery, Amy Madigan, Ray Liotta, James Earl Jones, Burt Lancaster, Gaby Hoffmann, and Tim Busfield, among others.

Gary McCord had a lengthy career on Tour, playing in over 400 PGA Tour events and then playing in another 161 events on the Champions Tour (with two victories), but Gary is probably best known for his 33 year career as a member of the CBS golf telecast crew from 1986-2019. We talk with Gary about life on Tour in the early 70's with Monday qualifying, his lead role in creating the all-exempt Tour in 1983, how he got his start with CBS in 1986 and what it was like to work with legendary producer Frank Chirkinian, his experiences as a broadcaster at The Masters and his banishment from the tournament in 1994, and his role in the movie Tin Cup and how Ron Shelton based several key scenes on Gary's real life experiences on Tour. We also get Gary's take on the distance debate and the Tour/LIV schism (and some ideas as to how to bridge that divide).

In this week's episode of the Black Girl Nerds podcast, we welcome actor Kadeem Hardison. Kadeem Hardison plays Professor Gardner, a college literature professor in the current Showtime series The Chi. Hardison became known for his role as the fast-talking, flip-sunglass-wearing, girl-watching "Dwayne Wayne" on NBC's hit show A Different World alongside Lisa Bonet, Jasmine Guy and Debbie Allen. This role made him an instant ‘90s icon and a memorable television figure, and he even directed several episodes of the show. Before his breakout role, Kadeem began his acting career in 1981 on the ABC After School Special The Color of Friendship. Kadeem most recently starred in Moonhaven for AMC, was a series regular on Teenage Bounty Hunters for Netflix and recurred on the comedy series Black Monday for  Showtime. In 2018, he starred in Love Is… for OWN. He also starred in Disney Channel's K.C. Undercover opposite Zendaya for three seasons. He has guest starred and recurred on various shows such Grownish, NBC's Parenthood, The CW's Supernatural and the CBS comedy 9JKL, Between Brothers and House M.D, UPN'S Girlfriends and Everybody Hates Chris on CBS, along with many others. Kadeem made his motion picture debut in Stan Lathan's 1984 adaptation of James Baldwin's classic Go Tell it on the Mountain and worked again with Lathan that same year in Beat Street. From there, he took several comedic supporting roles in films such as Spike Lee's School Daze, Keenen Ivory Wayans' Blaxploitation tribute I'm Gonna Git You Sucka, and Ron Shelton's White Men Can't Jump. He also co-starred alongside Eddie Murphy and Angela Bassett in the comedy Vampire in Brooklyn.  Kadeem currently resides in New York and Los Angeles, and has a daughter named Sophia.

Our exit today has us examining two sports comedies centered around trying to get back in the ring. First, there is Play It To The Bone, written and directed by Ron Shelton. It stars Woody Harrelson and Antonio Banderas and centers around the boxing world. Second, there is Ready to Rumble, written by Steven Brill and directed by Brian Robbins. This stars Scott Caan and David Arquette and takes place in the world of professional wrestling. Along the way, Tripp and Ross talk about some podcast favorites (Oliver Platt and Martin Landau), professional wrestling, a lot of underwritten female characters, some uncomfortable violence, and Tripp almost creates marital strife in his life.

This week, Kyle and Trevor review Ron Shelton's, White Men Can't Jump (1992)! Directed by minor league baseball player turned prolific director of sports films, Ron Shelton, White Men Can't Jump (1992) is a sports comedy centered around L.A. street ball hustlers. Starring Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson, as well as featuring Rosie Perez in a key supporting role, the film is a delightful time capsule of early 90's West coast culture, encapsulating many of the sights, sounds and prominent social themes of the era. Packed with trash talk, elegantly staged basketball sequences, and wrong-headed hyper masculinity, the film boldly invites the viewer to both cheer for, and scorn its protagonists in equal measure. Oddly structured, and not consistently crowd pleasing in the way many would expect from a “sports comedy”, White Men Can't Jump is nevertheless an enjoyable sports film, albeit a somewhat more dramatic and realistic one than one might expect.Follow us on Instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@catchinguponcinema⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Follow us on Twitter ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@CatchingCinema⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Like, share, subscribe, and we'll catch you next time!

Hollywood Homicide is a delightful mismatched buddy cop comedy. Unfortunately, everyone hated it, including its star—Harrison Ford. Written and directed by Ron Shelton, of Bull Durham and Tin Cup fame, Hollywood Homicide channels the real life exploits of one-time Los Angeles policeman Robert Souza. Judging by some of the movie's subplots, reality is indeed stranger than fiction. Speaking of those weaving narrative points, the abundance of them plague the film. There is just too much going on. That is probably why critics and audiences had such distaste for it. At 30% on Rotten Tomatoes—with an even lower audience score—Hollywood Homicide is one of Ford's worst rated films. It is also one of his lowest grossing. On a budget of $75 million, it failed to break even $52 million. Book it as a flop, Danno!

Thirty-five years ago this summer, Bull Durham hit the theaters. On this episode, film director and screenwriter Ron Shelton talks about his book, The Church of Baseball: The Making of Bull Durham: Home Runs, Bad Calls, Crazy Fights, Big Swings, and a Hit. (This podcast episode first aired on September 22, 2022.)

What an honest, heartfelt, and profound conversation. Loved chatting with @May Cobb May is the author of MY SUMMER DARLINGS, THE HUNTING WIVES and BIG WOODS. Originally from East Texas, May moved to San Francisco where she studied Victorian Literature; then she lived in Los Angeles for a few years working for filmmaker/writer Ron Shelton and his wife, the actress Lolita Davidovich. She resides in Austin, Texas, with her husband and son where she says, “I enjoy napping, staring into space, making to-do lists for my to-do lists, shoveling cookies down my throat when I'm writing a particularly difficult scene (and even when I'm not), wearing my PJ's as often as I can get away with and collapsing into bed at the end of a day with a great book.” May's currently finishing a book about the late, jazz great, Rahsaan Roland Kirk, a project which has been in the works for twenty years. Kirk was a human phenomenon—a multi-instrumentalist who was best known for his miraculous ability to play three saxophones simultaneously. During his brief life, he defied staggering odds—from blindness, to prejudice, to a paralyzing stroke—to play the music that came to him through dreams. And May shares on today's episode why she felt a deep connection with Kirk's story, which also inspired her to become a writer. The mother of a child with autism, May talks about societal expectations and the judgment she's experienced. And we also talked about the representation of autism in her latest book, A LIKELY WOMAN. In today's episode, you'll learn more about May's inspiring story, how she carves time to create, and what inspires her writing. Thank you, May, for this honest, poignant conversation.
