Let's Play Ball! continues its season here on We Drink & We Watch Things, and this week, we're stepping up to the plate with a film that changed the game: "Moneyball." Forget the magic of cornfields; we're diving into the data-driven world of sabermetrics, proving that sometimes, the smartest play isn't always the flashiest. Grab your drink and get ready for a deep dive into the business of baseball!

This week, we're dissecting why "Moneyball" isn't just a great baseball movie, but a compelling underdog story. We'll be talking about Brad Pitt's nuanced performance as Billy Beane, Jonah Hill's surprisingly dramatic turn, and how a real-life strategy managed to revolutionize an entire sport. We'll chat about the tension, the triumphs, and how a bunch of "rejected island of misfit toys" challenged the old guard. It's about more than just numbers; it's about challenging tradition.

If you're a baseball fanatic who loves the strategy side, a fan of sharp screenwriting, or just curious about how an unlikely team found success against all odds, then this episode is for you. We're blending our appreciation for this smart, engaging film with our usual casual banter, making this a thoughtful and entertaining installment in our Let's Play Ball! series. You can't help but be romantic about baseball... and this movie!

Batter up! We're swinging into a brand new month here on @wedrinkandwewatchthings, and for July, we're soaking up all those summer vibes with Let's Play Ball! – a deep dive into some of the best baseball movies that we haven't covered already. And what better way to step up to the plate than with the ultimate classic, "Field of Dreams?" Grab your favorite ballpark snack (and a drink, of course), because this one's a home run.

This week, we're lacing up our cleats and heading to the cornfields to talk about this beloved film. We'll be exploring its magical realism, the powerful father-son themes that get us every time, and why it continues to resonate with fans, even decades later. We'll chat about Kevin Costner's iconic role, the timeless quote, and whether building a baseball field in your backyard is actually a good idea (spoiler: probably not, but it looks great in the movies).

If you're a baseball purist, someone who appreciates a good cry at the movies, or just curious about why this film holds such a special place in cinematic history, then you're in the right dugout. We're blending our nostalgic appreciation with our usual conversational style, making this the perfect start to our month-long celebration of America's pastime on the big screen. Is this heaven?

Just June is wrapping up its random cinematic adventures here on @wedrinkandwewatchthings, and for our grand finale, we're getting meta (and maybe a little messy) with "The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent." This one was a bit of a ride, with Mackenzie having an absolute blast and Lemar... well, Lemar had some thoughts about its meta-ness. Grab your drink and prepare for a discussion that might be as divided as our opinions on the film itself!

This week, we're dissecting the movie where Nicolas Cage plays Nick Cage/Nicky, trying to save himself (and his family) from a very enthusiastic fan. We'll be talking about the sheer audacity of the concept, the moments where it truly shines (like when Pedro Pascal appears), and where it perhaps falls a little flat for some. Mackenzie will gush about the humor and the sheer joy of seeing Cage lean into his own legend and Pedro Pascal fully commit to his Nick Cage obsession, while Lemar will offer his perspective on whether it truly lands as a smart meta-commentary or just a fun diversion. Expect laughs, some head-scratching, and plenty of "only Nic Cage" moments.

If you're a devoted Cage-head, curious about how Hollywood tackles self-parody, have a crush on Pascal, or just want to hear a good-natured debate between two friends who saw the same movie very differently, then this is your episode. We're blending our wildly divergent experiences with our usual casual banter, making this the perfect, slightly chaotic send-off to Just June

Just June rolls on at We Drink & We Watch Things, and this week, we're getting stuck in a hilariously existential time loop with the fantastic and, frankly, overlooked, "Palm Springs." We both absolutely loved this movie, so grab your drink – maybe the same one you had yesterday – and get ready to talk about why this film deserves so much more love!

This episode, we're diving deep into what makes Palm Springs such a gem. We'll be dissecting its clever take on the time loop trope, the incredible chemistry between Andy Samberg and Cristin Milioti, and how it manages to be both incredibly funny and genuinely heartfelt. We'll chat about its unexpected emotional depth, its sharp writing, and why it resonated so much with both of us. It's not just a rom-com; it's a smart, surprising, and truly original film.

If you're a fan of unique comedies, a sucker for a good time loop story, or just curious to hear us gush about a movie we think more people should see, then this is your episode. We're blending our shared enthusiasm with our usual casual banter, making this a delightful discussion about a modern classic that deserves a permanent spot in your rewatch rotation. Seriously, give this one a shot!

Just June continues its eclectic journey here on @wedrinkandwewatchthings, and this week, we're getting animated with a truly special pick: Disney's "Lilo & Stitch." This one holds a very particular place in Mackenzie's heart – she deeply identifies with Lilo and absolutely adores this film and its mischievous blue alien. Lemar... well, he's about to discover why. Grab your favorite tropical drink, because things are about to get weird, wonderful, and heartwarming.

This episode, Mackenzie is practically bursting at the seams to share all the reasons she loves this movie, from its unique animation style and groundbreaking themes to its incredibly memorable characters. We'll be talking about the unconventional beauty of its "ohana means family" message, the perfect blend of sci-fi chaos and genuine emotional depth, and how Stitch manages to be both destructive and incredibly lovable. Lemar might start a little skeptical, but we're pretty sure by the end of the discussion, he'll be a convert.

If you're a long-time fan who knows all the experiments, curious why this seemingly simple animated film resonates so deeply with so many, or just want to hear Mackenzie's pure joy infect Lemar, then this is the episode for you. We're blending heartfelt appreciation with our usual candid banter, making this a truly delightful installment of Just June.

Our month-long celebration of Val Kilmer's incredible career comes to a stylish and hilarious close this week on We Drink & We Watch Things with the fantastic neo-noir, "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang." Grab your drink and get ready for some killer dialogue, twisty mysteries, and a whole lot of Robert Downey Jr. and Val Kilmer chemistry that just crackles.

This week, we're diving into what makes this movie so damn good: the whip-smart script from Shane Black, the unexpected buddy-cop dynamic between Downey Jr.'s Harry Lockhart and Kilmer's "Gay Perry," and the film's perfect blend of hard-boiled crime and laugh-out-loud comedy. We'll be dissecting the intricate plot, the endlessly quotable lines, and, of course, Kilmer's effortlessly cool and funny performance.

If you're a fan of clever crime flicks, dark humor, or just appreciate the brilliance of Kilmer in a role that truly showcases his range and comedic timing, then you won't want to miss this. We're ending our Val Kilmer tribute on a high note, blending our love for the film with our usual conversational style. Trust us, this one's a blast.

Our Val Kilmer deep dive continues this month on We Drink & We Watch Things, and this week we're tackling the gloriously silly action-comedy, MacGruber. Apparently, opinions are split in the studio, so grab your drink and prepare for a potentially spirited discussion about this SNL spin-off.

This week, we'll be looking at Kilmer's role in this over-the-top parody, alongside Will Forte's hilariously inept hero. We'll be dissecting the film's unique brand of humor, the surprisingly committed performances, and trying to figure out just why Lemar finds it so darn entertaining while Mackenzie...well, didn't. Expect a lively debate, some memorable (or maybe not-so-memorable for some of us) lines, and a whole lot of "what the heck did we just watch?"

Whether you're a MacGruber mega-fan, someone who found it baffling, or just curious to hear Mackenzie and Lemar duke it out over its merits, tune in! We're blending our contrasting opinions with our usual casual banter, making this a potentially chaotic but definitely entertaining installment in our Val Kilmer celebration. Prepare for some serious "chick-chicka-yah!" (whether Mackenzie likes it or not).
