On this week's episode of IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHTTIME, Stefan & Ben enlist the help of their old pal Mo Stark to tackle RAGING BULL DURHAM! Pain and gain collide and hard questions get asked when these two timeless sports movies meet. Should a great movie be enjoyable? Which Joe Pesci performance is his best? Is the minor league world of Bull Durham the fantasy land we need? Must we walk through hell in order to get to cinema paradiso? We’ve tried ‘em all, we really have, and the only church that truly feeds the soul, day in, day out, is the Church of Raging Bull Durham!
