Ep. 126 - Major League II Scoring at the Movies

    • Film Reviews

On the day the 2023 MLB season begins, we're discussing the sequel to one of our favourite baseball movies. Of course, Major League II is pretty much the same film, as the Cleveland Redacteds bicker, stink, bond, then strive to win it all, even though nobody believes in them...again. It doesn't help that David Ward's follow-up to his iconic original doesn't have much new up its sleeve and it's rated PG to appeal/pander to kids. There are also some idiotic screenwriting choices in the big game at the end. Yet this movie was raked over every coal by critics, even though it made us laugh---Bob Uecker!---and the baseball action is certainly worth your time. These guys are pretty believable athletes too, especially Charlie Sheen and David Keith. Oh, and as a bonus, Ryan did a brief review of Bang The Drum Slowly at the end of this episode because that was our original film this week.
 
So don't brawl on the field with your own teammates. Instead, think about lingerie magazines to distract you from your hang-ups as you blow it out certain body parts and enjoy us speaking better of Major League II than almost anyone else ever has.
