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.

Hosts: Benji Wade & Luke Baumgarten
