Episode 29: Major League

Major League (1989) Just a bit outside... This week, the guys head to Cleveland to revisit one of the most quotable sports comedies ever made: Major League. When a new owner assembles a roster of misfits, has-beens, and never-weres in hopes of tanking the season and moving the team to Miami, she accidentally creates one of cinema's greatest underdog stories. We break down the movie's unforgettable cast of characters, debate whether it's really a baseball movie or just a workplace comedy in cleats. Along the way, we talk about the film's legacy, its endlessly quotable dialogue, and a few aspects that haven't aged quite as gracefully. Plus, we build the most ridiculous baseball roster imaginable using characters from every movie we've covered on the show. The results are... something. In This Episode ⚾ Box office and critical reception🎬 Behind-the-scenes trivia and the making of Major League👓 Character and cast breakdowns🪄 Magic Wand: One thing we'd change🧢 Movie League Baseball: Building a baseball team from movie characters☠️ Pick Your Poison🏆 Boddicker Award🍺 Final beer ratingsSo grab a beer, sacrifice a cigar to Jobu if that's your thing, and join us as we find out whether Major League still knocks it out of the park nearly four decades later. Have thoughts on Major League? ⚾ Is it the greatest baseball comedy ever made? 🥎 Does it deserve a spot on the Mount Rushmore of sports movies? 🏆 And who gets your Boddicker Award?

Episode 28: The Outsiders

The Outsiders (1983) | Stay Gold...or Overrated? One of the most celebrated coming-of-age movies of all time. One of the most stacked casts in Hollywood history. One very unexpected consensus. This week, the guys revisit The Outsiders, Francis Ford Coppola's adaptation of S.E. Hinton's beloved novel featuring future stars Patrick Swayze, Tom Cruise, Rob Lowe, Matt Dillon, Ralph Macchio, Emilio Estevez, Diane Lane, C. Thomas Howell, and more. The problem? It just didn't work for us. Join us as we break down what we thought missed the mark, from rushed character development and over-the-top melodrama to questionable plot decisions and a soundtrack that somehow forgot it was an 80s movie. Along the way we discuss: 🎭 Whether the performances still hold up 🚬 Why Dally became one of our least favorite characters 🌅 If the emotional moments still land over 40 years later 🎵 The baffling absence of an iconic 80s soundtrack 🎬 Francis Ford Coppola's decision to adapt S.E. Hinton's novel ⭐ The unbelievable cast...and the even crazier list of actors who auditioned We also debut a brand-new game, Six DeGreasers of Kevin Bacon, connecting this legendary cast to Kevin Bacon in six degrees or less, hand out our Boddicker Award, make some tough Pick Your Poison choices, and reveal our final beer ratings.

Harry and the Hendersons (1987) – Bigfoot, Beer, and Unexpected Feels What happens when a suburban family accidentally adopts Bigfoot? This week on The Regular Guy Movie Show, we head into the Pacific Northwest to revisit Harry and the Hendersons—a movie that somehow blends slapstick comedy, creature feature, and heartfelt family drama into one very hairy package.
