Really Important Fictional Things
Let Her Walk (A League of Their Own)
This week we're talking about the 1992 A League of Their Own. It's not perfect, but we're fairly impressed for 1992 (though we wish we'd made more progress by now). No real surprise, these women are badasses on and off the field. We're very into them and thanks to Penny Marshall for her energy to create and direct this movie.
P.S. Geena Davis and Tom Hanks are both 6 feet tall.
We're taking a week off for Thanksgiving, then we'll be back on November 30th to cover the history of the sitcom.
While you wait, we recommend you look up Land Acknowledgement and listen to our Thanksgiving episode from last year: I'll Take Her Sloppy Seconds.
