Mudville

Nolan and Brody discuss the last week of Spring Training, debate a few young outfielders, and concoct a plan for Alex Rodriguez to get back in the Home Run chase. Brody makes an apology to the Los Angeles Angels for some reason. We preview Thursday's slate of Opening Day baseball!

Players mentioned: Anthony Volpe, Jordan Walker, Andrew Vaughn, Riley Greene, Zac Gallen, Mitch Keller, Triston McKenzie, Kyle Muller

Brody and Nolan discuss the ending of the World Baseball Classic, Opening Day excitement, seeing The Night of the Hunter at Film Forum, and go in-depth on the 1942 classic The Pride of the Yankees, a Lou Gehrig biopic starring Gary Cooper.

The guys bring on their first guest, Morgan Staub (@morgoftheflies), to discuss his movie initiative for 2023 and preview the state of the American League. Nolan watched "Creed 3" and "Cocaine Bear" this week and found one to be much better than the other. Brody celebrates his birthday with a history lesson in basketball and endless war.

Mudville steps up to the dish. Brody and Nolan discuss the World Baseball Classic, the 95th Academy Awards, and their first impressions of Spring Training. Dominated by "Everything Everywhere All at Once" and "All Quiet on the Western Front," the Oscars were haunted by the ghost of Will Smith. We have a lot to say about "the Daniels." We discuss the 1989 comedy Major League, starring Tom Berenger and Charlie Sheen.
