About this episode
Gaius and Jackson engage in full nostalgia revisiting the coming-of-age sports comedy The Sandlot for its 30th anniversary. Co-written and directed by David Mickey Evans, the film tells the story of young baseball players during the summer of 1962 and stars Tom Guiry, Mike Vitar, Karen Allen, Denis Leary, James Earl Jones and more. The pair look back at the movie and its impact as a cult classic and pop cultural phenomenon over the years and why it continues to resonate even today. The duo also looks into why we don’t have more films like this today and if today’s generation of kids truly appreciate its overall message in the more technology driven world we live in today.
