The Popcorn Diet is self isolating! Since there aren't many new movies, and aren't any sports, we decided that April should naturally be dedicated to SPORTS MOVIES!

Join us as we discuss the classic film about those misfit Cleveland Indians, break down the best plays from Wild Thing and Willie Mays Hays, and pick our MVPs. Rick compares Major League to The Avengers. David looks for the realism in the game. All that and more!!
