Batter up! We're swinging into a brand new month here on @wedrinkandwewatchthings, and for July, we're soaking up all those summer vibes with Let's Play Ball! – a deep dive into some of the best baseball movies that we haven't covered already. And what better way to step up to the plate than with the ultimate classic, "Field of Dreams?" Grab your favorite ballpark snack (and a drink, of course), because this one's a home run.
This week, we're lacing up our cleats and heading to the cornfields to talk about this beloved film. We'll be exploring its magical realism, the powerful father-son themes that get us every time, and why it continues to resonate with fans, even decades later. We'll chat about Kevin Costner's iconic role, the timeless quote, and whether building a baseball field in your backyard is actually a good idea (spoiler: probably not, but it looks great in the movies).
If you're a baseball purist, someone who appreciates a good cry at the movies, or just curious about why this film holds such a special place in cinematic history, then you're in the right dugout. We're blending our nostalgic appreciation with our usual conversational style, making this the perfect start to our month-long celebration of America's pastime on the big screen. Is this heaven? No, it's just our podcast!
