Matinee Heroes is a podcast dedicated to exploring hero cinema – from adventurers, heroes, and superheroes; from Jedi to buddy cops; from the Wild West, to the distant past, to futures both hopeful and dystopian, from ancient lands to the deepest reaches of outer space. In a time when we need heroes more than ever, Alan, Elisabeth and Craig will try to understand just what makes our cinematic heroes tick, and how we can use that heroism in our everyday life.
THE SANDLOT
In the summer of 1962, new kid Scottie Smalls moves to town and is taken under the wing of a talented young baseball player and his rowdy sandlot team. He quickly gets pulled into their chaotic summer and learns that fitting in can be just as tricky as playing the game. But when a prized baseball is hit over a fence, the boys must retrieve it from the yard of the legendary Beast.
Craig, Elisabeth and guest Rob Ervin talk about coming of age movies, convention going, PR photos and the movie “The Sandlot” on this week’s Matinee Heroes!
