    The Fan

    Step up to the plate with this week's episode of Slept-On Cinema as we dive into "The Fan," a film that may have struck out with critics and audiences alike but is a true home run in our eyes. Directed by Tony Scott and featuring powerhouse performances by Robert De Niro and Wesley Snipes, this sports thriller explores the dark side of fandom in a way that keeps you glued to your seat until the final play. Join us as we break down why "The Fan," despite its low scores on Rotten Tomatoes, deserves a spot in the major leagues of movie viewing. We'll dissect De Niro’s intense portrayal of Gil Renard, a fan whose adoration for baseball star Bobby Rayburn turns dangerously obsessive, and how Tony Scott’s kinetic directing style ramps up the tension to an unforgettable climax. Don’t miss our fun segments including "BOLO" for hidden details you might have missed, the perfect drink to pair with your viewing, and our unique draft picks where we choose our favorite underrated performances from the film. Plus, we'll share our "Bumper Sticker Line" from the movie, a quote so good it belongs on your car! "The Fan" is more than just a movie about baseball; it's a thrilling examination of passion gone awry, making it a perfect pitch for our latest Slept-On Cinema episode. Tune in, subscribe, and let us show you why this movie is a grand slam of thrills and suspense that deserves a second chance. Listen on your favorite podcast platform.
