Is 2025’s Eephus the quintessential baseball movie? That’s the question that Spencer and Jonathan discuss alongside returning guest Stephen (who is a host of the wonderful Batting Around podcast). The trio discuss the poignant and humorous moments from this delightful film and unpack how it captures the essence of baseball. This isn’t really a movie that can be spoiled, but, for what it’s worth, the theoretical spoilers start at 13:20.
