Bad News Bears (1976 and 2005)

April is upon us and that means it's time for a new monthly theme. Since spring is in the air we've decided to talk baseball this month on the show. Some of these films are a little off the beaten path, and a couple of them are beloved. But whether you know them or not, we can attest that they're all a lot of fun, starting with this week's exciting double feature.

We're discussing both versions of the classic Bad News Bears—the original from 1976 and its remake from 2005. Both have their moments, but one is superior. We had a great time discussing this, so check it out.

Play ball!
