Georgia and John take the field to talk about one of their all-time favorite baseball films, Penny Marshall's A League of Their Own. We discuss the documentary on the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League (AAGPBL) that inspired the film; the fiery sibling rivalry between Geena Davis's Dottie and Lori Petty's Kit; Megan Cavanaugh's screen debut as the unforgettable underdog Marla Hooch; the war's lasting effect on gender roles; Tom Hanks's unique role reversal as the disgusting yet charming Jimmy Dugan; the actors' dedication to authenticity (and the injuries that caused); the strong female friendships, including Rosie O'Donnell and Madonna as Doris and Mae, whose friendship persisted both on and off screen; and we exhaustively debate whether Dottie dropped the ball on purpose or if Kit finally bested her sister and won the game on her own merit. The bases are loaded and it's the bottom of the ninth - step up to the plate and give us a listen!
