The ReWatchable team comes together for a movie viewing of A League of Their Own and they get emotional over women in baseball once more! Hosts: Danielle, Ariana, Kendra, Natalie, and Brittany Fun Facts: Kendra is putting together a fandom wall in her living room: items include Hogwarts, The Witcher, Baby Yoda, and Lost. Brittany had a baseball heavy day with watching some live sports and then reading about all of the rules that will be in play for the upcoming MLB season. Natalie is now a single issue person: we only talk about The Old Guard. But it has given her a window into single movies that inspire a fandom springing up around it. Ariana has watched two perfect things — The Baby-Sitters Club and Palm Springs. For more feel-good TV, Danielle has watched Baby Daddy, Young and Hungry, and Warrior Nun. A League of Their Own movie discussion – Superfans: How many times have you seen this movie? – Newbies: Initial thoughts? First reactions? – We need an “Is Tom Hanks Okay?” website for Kendra – All-American Girls Baseball League was real! It lasted for about a decade while men were overseas and coming back – The women were in fact obligated to attend charm school, wear lipstick at all times, and yes, those uniforms are true to history – One thing that didn’t make it into the movie was the lesbian relationships that came out of the league – There is a great focus on the many facets of being a woman in the 50s – Let’s take a look at that propaganda – Oh, and Evelyn needs to bring her child on the road because her husband doesn’t have a job and he bothers him… relevant today, no? – What elements made it evident that this was directed by a woman? – This is a story about women supporting women and siblings – What do we think about Dottie’s motives in this movie? – We talk about a deleted scene out of context for a bit, sorry about that, here is the clip (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6q_HyTifpGQ) ! – Little sister and big sister perspectives – Spelling practice is sometimes just too much – Ok, but did someone intentionally drop the ball on this play? – We get more pitcher drama, Kit being pulled from the game has strong Ginny vibes – If Dottie did drop the ball, what does that say for the rest of the team? And her attitude in general for the rest of the team? – Can we imagine a world where Dottie can have both lives she wants? – Sorry we explain this scene so late! – Did it change the way the movie played out as a whole? – Who was your favorite Rockford Peach? – Know her: Mamie “Peanut” Johnson – The dubbed voices were wild at the end – How did the framing of the story work as told through flashbacks? – The credits music was… A Choice And now some quarantine news from Pitch: – What does it mean (https://twitter.com/hulu/status/1277709740475383808) ?
