Episode description
Happy spring, dear listeners!
We're kicking off April with a trip to the dugout as we take a look at the 2011 baseball hit, Moneyball. This Brad Pitt-starring, Aaron Sorkin-penned, and Bennett Miller-directed story focuses on the Oakland Athletics attempting to shakeup professional baseball. We discuss historicity in film, historicity as it relates to suspense, the intangibles of a baseball team, and much more!
