Today, the Kicking the Seat Podcast and Pat “The Über Critic” McDonald of HollywoodChicago.com celebrate the 2020 baseball season with the only game in town--movies! At first glance, Michael Ritchie's 1976 classic, The Bad News Bears, is a far cry from his earlier film, The Candidate, but the guys discover some surprising similarities.
They also marvel at how Walter Matthau and Vic Morrow's powerful lead performances give the movie just as much punch for adults as for children--and wrestle with who the "appropriate" audience is for this explicitly un-PC film in the year 2020!
Episode 531 didn't come into this world to sit on a bench in a dugout!
