Ellen Adair and Eric Gilde watched "Ed." They did it. That's the recap. ...No, of course, gentle listener, we can promise more in this discussion of the 1996 film "Ed," about a chimpanzee playing baseball. Eric is deeply unnerved by what the movie implies about Mickey Mantle, while Ellen flounders in an attempt to determine the nature of Jack "Deuce" Cooper's (Matt LeBlanc's) pitching arsenal. On their way to scoring on the 20-80 scouting scale one of the worst baseball movies ever made, they discuss the brief foray into the horror genre that is Ed eating, and the montage device hitting rock-bottom. Ellen has a brief tirade into the naming of the "Utley rule," and, as it turns out, a timely reference to Trevor Bauer.
