Description
A League of Their Own | Season 1 Episode 1 Recap with Ro Amazon Prime's A League of Their Own stars Abbi Jacobson as a 1940's American woman who hops on a train to Chicago in order to try out for the first ever All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. In this podcast host Amanda Costner is joined by Ro, an avid fan of the show, and Amanda's wife. The two break down the pilot episode of the show, discussing the new characters, plotlines as well as the things that were clear references to the 1992 movie. Both Ro and Amanda are high on the episode, although Amanda disagrees with Ro that there's nothing missing from the TV show and thinks there's a noticeable difference without all the star power that the movie had. Both discuss being surprised at how queer the opening episode is, and how many cast members appear to be lgbtq. When discussing the setting and historic nature of the show, both hosts agree it feels special knowing they live in the same city all this was rooted in--with the tryouts being held in Chicago. The character Max interests them both, however in different ways. Ro see's Max as having a lot of grace considering the unfair treatment she's received (Max is not allowed to tryout for the league because she is black). While Amanda views Max as more raw and having trouble containing her frustration for the situation she is in. This podcast is available in video form on our YouTube channel.
