The fictional & half-decade-early-in-reality rise of the longtime laughingstock Cleveland (redacted) is the order of the day in our 9th dose of Scoring At The Movies as we discuss Major League.
Tom Berenger, Charlie Sheen, Wesley Snipes and the dynamite cast hit a ringing triple in David Ward's crap-to-great baseball story. Why not use the tired cliche and just say they hit a home run? Well, the flick is stuffed with controversy (sexual assault and stalking, not to mention the team's name), but the movie is still fun personified. So...let's call it a triple.
When it comes down to it, if you can't find electric joy in the "Wild Thing" scene, then you might as well just move to Florida!

Ep. 8 - White Men Can't Jump

For episode #8 of Scoring At The Movies, we nail our first jump shots in a basketball movie, which remains one of the funniest sports flicks of ’em all, talking about White Men Can't Jump.
Chris has issues with one of the 2 leads (not the charismatic fellow's performance, just the character’s selfishness) and has plenty of justification for that bad feeling. Still, Wesley & Woody have chemistry out every cool (and nerdy) pore, while Rosie Perez just about walks off with the whole movie. And hey…Jeopardy! Everything is made better with liberal doses of Jeopardy.
Stay in the zone, man, and, as always, listen to the woman (and also to our podcast).
