This is not your 2005 Fever Pitch.  We watch the 1997 Fever Pitch with Colin Firth so you don't have to.  But if you're a fan of Mr. Darcy, maybe you still want to. If your a fan of Arsenal FC, maybe you still want to. We talk Firth Fros, how dumb it is to be a sports fan, even though we still are, and the differences between UK versions of things and their US counterparts. Meaning we talk about this movie and the 2005 version and the UK Office and the US Office. And we get in to hot water with some hot takes about soccer/football. Come for the banter and stay to get really mad at us, or agree with us. Either way, as long as you stay.

Next episode: Gleaming the Cube (and yes, we make jokes about that title too)

Gleaming the Cube is on Amazon Prime or you can borrow it from your local library.

Sean and Brad review the 1977 classic One on One.  They talk about how weird the main character is, Sean impersonates Keanu Reeves in Speed, and they talk about how awkward writing this movie with your father might have been.  Also, were red hot pokers a thing in the late 70s? Cause this movie hinges on one, and it's more than a little strange.

Next episode: The original Fever Pitch from 1997

Fever Pitch (UK) is streaming on Peacock, TUBI, Crackle, Plex, and Freevee.  You can also check out your local library to see if they have it.

We're back baby!  It's been a while and we know you've all been missing the show, but we have been a little busy.  Slow Pitch HQ moved from Montana to Kansas we've added to the descendants who will reap the whirlwind of an inheritance from us.  In other words Sean had a baby.  Congrats Sean!  Anyway, Sean and Brad review another Out of Bounds movie. This time it's ¡Three Amigos!  Instead of going into a long discussion about the importance of the plight of the 1930s Mexican peasant or the big studio strangle-hold on actors in the early days of Hollywood, Sean and Brad basically recount all of the jokes in the movie. Or is it recant?  Do you want to take a walk and kiss us on the veranda?

Next episode: One on One

You can rent One on One from any of the major media players or you can borrow it from your local library...maybe...

Once again we do a sports movie podcast about a movie that doesn't reeeaaalllly have any sports in it, and not on purpose.  Here's a helpful tip, don't watch Snow Dogs, ever.  Sean and Brad talk about Cuba Gooding, Jr being James Coburn's biological son, blue cheese, and why isn't Nana a lead dog.  Listen to the podcast.  Don't watch the movie.

Next episode:  Some Kind of Wonderful (It's our 50th episode which also means it's an Out of Bounds episode!

Some Kind of Wonderful is streaming on HBO Max (maybe it's just called Max now, which is kinda dumb) or go borrow it from your local library.

In this, the saddest episode ever, Sean and Brad review the 2005 classic, Million Dollar Baby.  They discuss all kinds of things that are sad.  And then they talk about more sad things.  But they finish it off with a laugh because Brad is dumb.  Who liked it? Who didn't?  Who's got holes in their socks?  

Next episode: Snow Dogs

Snow Dogs is streaming on Disney+ but you can also check it out from your local library.

Rich wha? Richmond! Sean and Brad watch the 2005 classic Coach Carter.  They talk about Coach Carter saying inappropriate things to students, how many push-ups they could do in their prime, and the style of basketball uniforms over the years.  Hit the books, make the grades, then win some basketball games and save some lives.

Slap on your singlet and hold on to the turnbuckles because we are going for a wild ride in this episode! Sean and Brad are joined by Keith (last name withheld) and Robbie Forrester!  These guys know their wrestling and are hilarious as well.  And Robbie was kinda sorta tied to the movie in a kinda sorta way!  We talk about so much it's hard to put any of it down.  But dookie is a part of the conversation, as well as an awkward hotel room scene, and Zeus's shaving abilities. Join us as we watch, No Holds Barred so you don't have to, but if you can you probably should.

Next episode:  Coach Carter

Coach Carter isn't currently streaming anywhere so go borrow it from your local library!

Sean and Brad rack 'em and watch 1961's The Hustler.  They get lost in Fast Eddie's eyes, marvel at Minnesota Fats stamina, and reminisce on a billiards game invented by friends in college.  Are you a loser? Or are you the best that's ever played? 

Next episode: No Holds Barred.

No Holds Barred is not streaming anywhere.  Like not even to rent.  So either your local library is going to have it or maybe you'll find it in a bin at Wal-Mart for 3.99.  Unless you're Kieth Dismuke and somehow you own a digital version of it. I don't know about that kid.

Sean and Brad watch Against the Ropes so you don't have to.  We talk about bad accents, bad photoshop, and the fact that the Pluto app we watched this on made the movie 30 minutes longer because of all the commercials.  On too of that the movie was about 30 minutes too long.  Oh, and there's a fart scene, which of course we hone in on.

Next movie: The Hustler

The Hustler isn't streaming anywhere for free so borrow it from your local library!
