Grierson & Leitch

After the weird thing called "joy" that we all experienced in the wake of the President's Tulsa faceplant, we had a good attitude this week until we talked about baseball. So. No baseball talk! Instead, we discuss two new movies: "Babyteeth" and "Miss Juneteenth." Then we Reboot the horror romance "Spring," from 2014. Timestamps (approximate): 11:14 "Babyteeth" 31:59 "Miss Juneteenth" 48:25 "Spring" Thanks to Dylan Mayer and My Friend Mary, both of which are wonderful, for the music. We hope you enjoy.

Grierson went on a walk last week. We are very proud of him. Now that he has walked, we can talk about movies. This week, we look back at the movie year 1997, a particularly good movie year, and not just because that's the one year Grierson and Leitch both lived in Los Angeles at the same time. We have Reboots as well. First, the Coen Brothers classic "Raising Arizona." Then, the cult film "Tucker and Dale Versus Evil. And seriously, stay safe!

Hi! It's time for another Grierson & Leitch: Conversations! This week, we talk with The Athletic baseball writer Keith Law, whose new book "The Inside Game" looks at baseball, but mostly looks at critical thinking and the logic fallacies that curse us all. We talk about movies, the illogic of our leaders and whether baseball will be back this year. It's a fun show! Plus, Keith is a dedicated G&L listener, so we love him.

We're shut in our homes just like you are, which means no new movies, which means we're looking backwards rather than forward. Thus, we begin our weekly look back at a particular movie year with 1994. "Forrest Gump!" "Pulp Fiction!" "Hoop Dreams!" David Letterman hosting the Oscars! We deep dive into 1994.

That's right, we go two-plus hours with Joe Sheehan and Rany Jazayerli. So much baseball nerdness! If you just like movies and not baseball, this is not for you: It's a special Conversations episode.
