I Love That Line

“Because none of the other boys … they always made me feel wrong, like I was some sort of a weird girl or a strange girl or not even a girl, just because I could play. I believed them, too, you know? But not anymore. I mean, look, there’s a lot of us. I think we’re all all right.” - A League of Their Own, Doris, 1992

•

Happy International Women’s Day! We wanted to celebrate a day that should be celebrated daily year round with a quote we love from a classic film. One of the most important & beloved films in cinema led by Geena Davis, an all woman cast & Tom Hanks. A film and baseball gem.

Laurence & Darren talk the importance of women stepping into their power & most of all solidarity. Also enjoy Laurence confidently mistaking a Dickens quote for Hemingway! We hope you enjoy. Happy International Women’s Day!

•

Our favorite episode to date. One of the most important quotes in world & film history. The wonderful Nelson Mandela recites the demand for respect, pride and equality uttered beautifully by Malcolm X.

•

This is an important episode for us both. We LOVE Denzel. Really, love Denzel. On top of that...Malcolm was one of our heroes. He was wrongfully labelled a terrorist, racist and more, yet history has shown his call for respect, love and change are as necessary today as they were in the 60s.

•

We hope you listen with the same love that we are sharing it with you. Enjoy.
