Show Notes
We're joined by our London/Philadelphia correspondent Molly Thomas to discuss the 2024 Phillies, the trade deadline, the ups and downs of a long season, and why even the best teams in baseball can have long stretches of near-unwatchability. Plus, no-hitters from Dylan Cease and Blake Snell, and a season-ending injury to Mike Trout.
What movies have the three of us watched recently? Molly paired I Saw the TV Glow with The Last Picture Show for a bad-vibes-hometown double feature and watched an Agnes Varda classic. Brody caught up with Killers of the Flower Moon, and we discuss its impact a year later. Nolan watched a trio of John Carpenter films: They Live, Prince of Darkness, and Big Trouble in Little China.
