Make Time for This - GSPN's Podcast for Pop Culture and Other Things

Exploring the history, quality, and themes of baseball movies


Listen Later

In the latest episode of Captured on Celluloid, Adam and Andrew are joined by returning guest Jordan Treske to discuss baseball movies

With a void in both sports and new movie releases at present, it seemed like a good time to take a closer look at when those two things intersect. In the first of two sports-themed episodes, the focus is on America's pastime, and its varied portrayals on screen.
