All Those Moments

The moment: our middle aged friends of the South Hill Turkeys expressed interest in watching a movie about middle aged dudes playing their last baseball game in a movie produced by the founders of one of our favorite podcasts. The movie is Eephus (2024), which premiered at Cannes and has earned every single plaudit thrown its way. The story is about letting go of something meaningful being taken away and wondering what, if anything, might replace it. It’s one of the best movies we’ve seen in years and one of the best baseball movies ever made.

In this episode, Benji and Luke explore the quiet but hilarious brilliance of Eephus, a slow cinema masterpiece from Carson Lund and Omnes Films that reflects on community, memory, and America’s fading rituals and loss of civic spaces.

The moment was when two professional soccer teams were started in Spokane, a midsize working class city in the Pacific Northwest. The movie is The Damned United (2009), an insanely entertaining portrait of legendary English manager Brian Clough. The story includes a wild decade of Clough’s career, including his time winning a championship with Derby County FC, a midsize working class city in the middle of England. Our guest is 4x Academy Award nominee and BAFTA winning production designer Eve Stewart.
