    Out of Bounds #4: ¡Three Amigos!

    Out of Bounds #4: ¡Three Amigos!

    We're back baby!  It's been a while and we know you've all been missing the show, but we have been a little busy.  Slow Pitch HQ moved from Montana to Kansas we've added to the descendants who will reap the whirlwind of an inheritance from us.  In other words Sean had a baby.  Congrats Sean!  Anyway, Sean and Brad review another Out of Bounds movie. This time it's ¡Three Amigos!  Instead of going into a long discussion about the importance of the plight of the 1930s Mexican peasant or the big studio strangle-hold on actors in the early days of Hollywood, Sean and Brad basically recount all of the jokes in the movie. Or is it recant?  Do you want to take a walk and kiss us on the veranda?

    Next episode: One on One

    You can rent One on One from any of the major media players or you can borrow it from your local library...maybe...

    Snow Dogs

    Snow Dogs

    Once again we do a sports movie podcast about a movie that doesn't reeeaaalllly have any sports in it, and not on purpose.  Here's a helpful tip, don't watch Snow Dogs, ever.  Sean and Brad talk about Cuba Gooding, Jr being James Coburn's biological son, blue cheese, and why isn't Nana a lead dog.  Listen to the podcast.  Don't watch the movie.

    Next episode:  Some Kind of Wonderful (It's our 50th episode which also means it's an Out of Bounds episode!

    Some Kind of Wonderful is streaming on HBO Max (maybe it's just called Max now, which is kinda dumb) or go borrow it from your local library.

    Million Dollar Baby

    Million Dollar Baby

    In this, the saddest episode ever, Sean and Brad review the 2005 classic, Million Dollar Baby.  They discuss all kinds of things that are sad.  And then they talk about more sad things.  But they finish it off with a laugh because Brad is dumb.  Who liked it? Who didn't?  Who's got holes in their socks?  

    Next episode: Snow Dogs

    Snow Dogs is streaming on Disney+ but you can also check it out from your local library.

    Coach Carter

    Rich wha? Richmond! Sean and Brad watch the 2005 classic Coach Carter.  They talk about Coach Carter saying inappropriate things to students, how many push-ups they could do in their prime, and the style of basketball uniforms over the years.  Hit the books, make the grades, then win some basketball games and save some lives.

    No Holds Barred

    No Holds Barred

    Slap on your singlet and hold on to the turnbuckles because we are going for a wild ride in this episode! Sean and Brad are joined by Keith (last name withheld) and Robbie Forrester!  These guys know their wrestling and are hilarious as well.  And Robbie was kinda sorta tied to the movie in a kinda sorta way!  We talk about so much it's hard to put any of it down.  But dookie is a part of the conversation, as well as an awkward hotel room scene, and Zeus's shaving abilities. Join us as we watch, No Holds Barred so you don't have to, but if you can you probably should.

    The Hustler

    The Hustler

    Sean and Brad rack 'em and watch 1961's The Hustler.  They get lost in Fast Eddie's eyes, marvel at Minnesota Fats stamina, and reminisce on a billiards game invented by friends in college.  Are you a loser? Or are you the best that's ever played? 

    Next episode: No Holds Barred.

    No Holds Barred is not streaming anywhere.  Like not even to rent.  So either your local library is going to have it or maybe you'll find it in a bin at Wal-Mart for 3.99.  Unless you're Kieth Dismuke and somehow you own a digital version of it. I don't know about that kid.

    Against the Ropes

    Against the Ropes

    Sean and Brad watch Against the Ropes so you don't have to.  We talk about bad accents, bad photoshop, and the fact that the Pluto app we watched this on made the movie 30 minutes longer because of all the commercials.  On too of that the movie was about 30 minutes too long.  Oh, and there's a fart scene, which of course we hone in on.

    The Absent-Minded Professor

    The Absent-Minded Professor

    Sean and Brad review the 1961 classic The Absent-Minded Professor.   They talk about what flubber sounds like, what Brad's dunks, when he could dunk, looked like (hint: it looked like a white guy from 1961), and about 25 different parts of the basketball scene.  Is this one of the best basketball scenes in cinema?  We think it might be.

    Next episode: Against the Ropes

    Against the Ropes is streaming on the Pluto streaming service, but if you don't want to watch 25 ads about Otezla clearing your eczema, go borrow it from your local library.

Sean and Brad review the 1998 classic Air Bud: Golden Receiver.  They talk about Houston sports legends Warren Moon and Pete Chilcutt, video games from 1995, and why exactly did Josh Framm start playing football?  Also, the sad downfall of Nora Dunn.  Two very special guest reviewers join the guys for this episode!

    Fear Strikes Out

    Fear Strikes Out

    Sean and Brad review the 1957 classic Fear Strikes Out.  They discuss the awkwardness of a 55 year old Karl Malden carrying a 24 year old Anthony Perkins, an skin condition pharmaceutical ad that played over and over while watching the movie, and the various jobs Sean had as a college student.  We also applaud the way the movie and the actual, real-life team of the 50's Boston Red Sox handled the subject of mental disorders.  And then we lament the next episode...

    The World's Greatest Athlete

    The World's Greatest Athlete

    After a 3 month hiatus due to a broken computer, we're back!  We can finally release an episode we recorded over Easter.  We're glad to have our good friend Stephen Jerkins join us as we review this 1973 Disney classic.  We talk about Easter call and responses, tigers dressing as sports fans, and creepy fake fingers.  And of course Dorf on Golf.  Also Brad sounds like a robot at times due to crappy wifi.  So stay to the end to hear some funny outtakes.

    Wimbledon

    Wimbledon

    Sean and Brad review 2004's Wimbledon.  Sean and Brad saw this movie together in the theater, possibly on opening night.  Why?  Listen to the episode to find out.  We also talk the Tennessee Vols March Madness results, which were 6 months ago (we record much earlier than we release, but we're catching up), Jack White experiences, and Caddyshack 2's farting horse again.  Because that's more funny than anything in this movie.

    Kid Galahad (1962)

    Kid Galahad (1962)

    Our first Elvis movie and we get into what we thought about his nipples right away!  We watch Kid Galahad, the remake, and realize right away it's not up to the same caliber than the original, but did we like it better?  Maybe...  

    Besides Elvis's nipples, we also talk about Charles Bronson's unexplained limp,  the music in the film, and a bevy of strange lines.  Let's all go to Cream Valley, NY (gross) and duke it out!

    Next film:  Wimbledon

    Timeout #2 Top Gun: Maverick

    Timeout #2 Top Gun: Maverick

    Sean and Brad interrupt the feed to review their second Timeout: Top Gun: Maverick.  They talk about The Transformers Movie, The Black Hole, and The Karate Kid?  but they also discuss the lack of stars from the first movie and how Tom Cruise is methodically killing everyone off so he can be the last man standing.  The also discuss Tom Cruise's body parts.  It gets weird.  Just listen.  

    The next movie is still Elvis's Kid Galahad.  It's still not streaming anywhere.

    Goon

    Goon

    Sean and Brad don't know anything about hockey.  They know nothing.  Icing.  What is it?  They try to discuss a movie about hockey without talking about hockey at all.  But at least Seann William Scott is charming and funny.  But do us a favor and don't watch this movie with your parents or small children.  But the movie has its moments.  Blades of Steel.  And wayne Gretzky.  And Gordie Howe.  That's all they know.  Also, don't get confused between Sean Williams and Seann WilliamssssScott.

    Next movie: Elvis's version of Kid Galahad (1962)

    Kid Galahad isn't streaming anywhere, not even to rent.  It's doubtful that your local library even has it.  We had to buy the DVD from Amazon.  We don't suggest you do that.

    Raging Bull

    Raging Bull

    Sean and Brad review one of the best and well-known sports movies ever.  Martin Scorcese, Robert DeNiro and Joe Pesci team up to make Raging Bull, a movie about Jake LaMotta, a boxer who made it all the way to the top just to lose it all just as quickly.  If you think this movie, which is really heavy, didn't talk about He-Man's lesser known ally Ram-Man, or character actor Wallace Shawn's haircut, you haven't been listening.  Bring me my steak!

    Next movie: Goon

    Goon is available for free on many apps including Vudu and Tubi, but you might find it at your local library.

    The Longest Yard (1974)

    The Longest Yard (1974)

    The 1970s were a heck of a time.  We go from North Dallas Forty and Nick Nolte to The Longest Yard and Burt Reynolds.  We ask if Paul "Wrecking" Crewe" is a sympathetic character after the cringey first scene.  We also discuss Teen Wolf's dad's hair, Bernadette Peters as "Miss Toot" and we're slightly confused about a new review a fan has given us.  Speaking of, if you haven't rated and reviewed us yet, please do.  It really helps.

    Next movie: Raging Bull

    Raging Bull can be found on Amazon Prime or at your local library.

    Timeout #1 Top Gun

    Timeout #1 Top Gun

    In celebration of the release of Top Gun: Maverick, Sean and Brad record  the first Timeout episode.  This is a movie that isn't specifically a sports movie but has a sports scene in it.  And what better movie to start with than Top Gun.  The volleyball scene in this movie is consistently ranked at the top of non-sports movie sports scenes.  The guys talk about how Anthony Edwards makes sure he is fully clothed next to ?val Kilmer and Tom Cruise shirtless, rippling, sweaty chests.  And Maverick and Charlie getting it on with a bunch of sand pouring out of Maverick's jeans.  That would have been awkward. And did Brad cry during the love scene?

    Next movie: Still the 1974 version of The Longest Yard.
