  Eight Men Out 1988

  ★★★★½ Rewatched 23 Mar 2025

  It’s a very different feeling to watch a movie about gambling and corruption destroying people’s faith in a cultural institution in 2025 compared to the last time I saw it, in 2008 or 2009. It’s not that sports were exactly a shining example of morality 17 years ago but the inescapable number of ads for gambling apps and other ways to profit off the game make this feel especially relevant to a fan that’s seeing something they love be torn apart while they can’t do anything about it. And of course, that’s not just a statement about sports.

  Yes I’m going to love any movie that features Joe Castiglione in the cast and makes references to the Ground Round, Hurricane Bob and I think that was an early Spooky World radio spot.
