With the 2 guys from that generation. I am saving this one for a car trip. Didn't know they were doing this and just watched it again over the weekend. My top baseball movie.

I thought Bill was going to do 'North Dallas Forty' this week but this is even better.

He's pouring whiskey into his beer. Yes, a boiler maker (Buttermaker).

The Bad News Bears was both nostalgic and timeless.

For any kid who grew up in the 70's, the Pizza Hut scene is 100% realistic. PH was THE go-to place after all little league games. The kids got a slice, the parents got a beer.

It really bothers me “All the Right Moves” hasn’t been a rewatchable yet

First movie I ever saw in a movie theatre.

I love that they didn’t win. And the celebration almost always brings a tear to my eye.

Bill please do Gattaca already that’s my number 1 request.

Bill broadcasting from the kitchen. You know why? CAUSE HE'S COOKIN.

I am currently in a Fantasy League with a team named Chico’s Bailbonds. So yeah, that names 1000% lives on.

BNB came out when I was 14; I watched it again about 2 weeks ago, after not seeing it for years, and that ending with Brandon Cruz and Vic Morrow?? Amazing. The movie STILL holds up. Perfectly cast, perfect encapsulation of what 1970s kids sports was like. And Kelly-freaking-Leak, the GOAT.

The Yankees were the biggest sports villains in America before 1976! You ever heard of the Broadway play "Damn Yankees?"

Feels like Bill is running through all of his favourites quicker than ever. End of the Rewatchables incoming?!?

He said this will be the last year

Came out my first eligible year playing LL at 8 years old so connected with this movie right away. First game of season for Bears and Reggie thinks it’s a force and doesn’t tag the guy and his father screams “you gotta tag him dummy!!!” That cracks me up every time because back then it was totally real.

1976 was my first eligible year in little league at 8yo here in north NJ. Parents watching with mini coolers with beers. Coaches smoking butts in the dugout. After the season our coach taking us to Yankees Stadium and sitting in the RF bleachers!!! No parents!!! Just the head coach and the assistant. Mind blowing to think of now.

I can’t believe Van is still rocking the cowboy hat

He looks ridiculous

I grew up on this movie. I must have watched it 500 times as a kid.

Bill please do fever pitch with rusillo it would be so funny to hear you guys destroy it for two hours.

"Harley Davidson--- Does that turn you on?"

You might think "damn this movie is old..almost 50 years old" but it's actually 2 years newer than the last movie that was done on the pod last week. The last time The Rewatchables did a movie that has came out in the last 20 years was "Shot Caller" back in April, around 12 weeks ago

It's a feature, not a bug.

1:00:15 In 1976 I was 12 and in L.A. little league. They did have limits on how many innings you could pitch per week. I was the only halfway decent pitcher on my team and we lost our playoff game because I had played too many innings.

Why are they contemplating what Kelly’s family life is like? He’s watched Part 2. William Devane is his dad.He lives in Houston. Kelly’s relationship with his father and how he left is one of the major storylines of the movie. How do neither of them remember this?

It's more about where is the Mom,I think

Van, I got your back on The Toy. I loved that movie as a kid.

van is 100% right ... the kid who didnt really go to school and go out and ball in jeans is spot on ,,, at least in my day in the south

I understand why the Ringer is putting all this content on KZread, but the podcasts are 10x better with the audio clips. Also, I’m cool with Van about half the time, but this Rewatchable needed to have an All-Star lineup. CR, Cousin Sal, Jacoby, etc. It’s a good Rewatchable. Could have been great, though.

My favorite movie.

The Billy Bob Thorton remake of this was great. I don't get why shitting on it has to be part of praising the original 😂

That would be great. They've done very few Sean Penn movies

Love this episode (love ALL episodes. I would have to say that Knute Rockne-All American set the bar for Sports Movies. Ronald Reagan’s portrayal of George Gip covers most of your categories all the way from overacting, apex moment, introduction, and the famous monologue. Just my thoughts. This episode is the most REWATCHABLE of the Rewatchable franchise. 💪💪💪👍👍👍

'Deep Cover' ...come on guys. It's time

Ok. I like Matthau. Don't know why I keep misremembering Jodie Foster instead of Tatum in this movie😊

Burner jocks are a thing Craig,at least back then.

Burnouts take: Producer Craig shows times have-a-changed! To be good today in sports you probably require coachability to get anywhere. The coaches probably aren't drunk retired vets settling old scores on children's psyches. In the old days coaching was very bogus and aggressive and anyone that grew up fast and became a young man as a kid would not be feeling it. Every town had like half the good athletes become the druggy burnouts and they were the naturally muscular and fast kids whether white, black, or otherwise, rich or poor, in the old days there were a lot of rebels and druggies because they could go get laid and paid and have powerful motor vehicles and freedom to abuse. In the suburbs of NJ where we grew lots of good athletes the three best kids when we were young all became burnouts that didn't and probably couldn't play into HS/college when the hard workers with some talent catch up and keep going.

Unfortunately... In real life.... When I see a sports team, they are often a group of virtually identical people.

Great classic movie..pod not that great…on these classics..it should be the true film nerds…Bill…Chris…Sean…these guys actually read books pertaining to film makers …production…writers…directors..in there private time…

Kelly is a loan shark

Sorry, Bill can you explain exactly what an eeeeeglue is please

This movie and Rocky are 70s movies, so the endings aren't "happy." 80s movies had happy endings. Sports movies are just products of their times.

Van Lathan >>>>

Coach Tuner is NOT the best character. Amanda is one of the great characters of all time.

For certain movies producer Craig should be disqualified. He saw the 2005 version. Are you kidding me?!

Also… when I think of this movie, I think of “Diggstown” Just stop! Just stop it when you (Simmons) say you’re eventually going to do this obscure movie on The Rewatchables to appease Van. It’s comical how much Simmons tries here. I GUARANTEE “Diggstown” will never be a Rewatchable… in the next 5 years. It’s painful and pathetic listening to Bill trying to be “cool”

This should have been Rusillo. Van? Really?

I tried, but Lathan is unlistenable.

OF COURSE 14 minutes in, we’re talking about “Above the Rim”????? And a shootout literally and figuratively. Simmons feels that he has to bring black culture into ANY MOVIE that is involved when Van is a participant. It’s unnecessary. This is a ‘70s movie about little kids and a drunk coach involving his ex’s little girl because he knew she could win him this championship. But, of course, race is involved. I just can’t do it anymore. Maybe I’m racist. Idk 🤷🏻‍♂️. I just prefer to listen to what the movie is actually about. Sorry
