Ep 239: Be Kind Rewind (The Sandlot)

You're killing me, Smalls. This week on a Be Kind Rewind, Dave, Cody, & Paul Walcher head back to the summer of 1962 for The Sandlot (1993), a movie that flopped with critics and became a multigenerational classic anyway.

We get into what holds up (the Ray Charles fireworks scene, Ham roasting an entire lineup of batters, the ensemble of kid actors who genuinely became friends), what doesn't (the pool scene, and yes we talk about it honestly), and the behind-the-scenes stuff you might not know.

Plus: a genuine three-way argument about whether Denis Leary is the winner or the loser of this movie, a full Muppetize (Cody casts the entire film), a Pastor's Corner on inclusion for inclusion's sake and the monsters we build in our own heads, and where the cast actually ended up.

Bonus: it's Dave's birthday, we ask what posters you had on your wall as a kid, and a brutal round of the Movie Game.
