What better way to celebrate America’s birthday than with a baseball movie with exactly one scene of baseball, elder abuse, racism, and Robert Wuhl? This week we will be talking about Cobb, starring returning champion Tommy Lee Jones as rather evil baseball legend Ty Cobb, who might be less evil than Al Stump, this film’s proposed protagonist. This episode features a passionate if unintentional defense of Ty Cobb’s honor by two non-sportsball fans, as well as digressions about Kayfabe, a proposal for a reverse Driving Miss Daisy, and a pitch for Al Stump to be recast with the dog from Air Bud.
Cobb stars Tommy Lee Jones, Robert Wuhl, Lolita Davidovich, the amazing Lou Myers, baby Bradley Whitford as “Process Server” and Jimmy Buffet as “Armless Guy”
