This week&#8217;s commission is the 1992 baseball classic &#8220;A League of Their Own.&#8221; And while it shines as a comedy featuring some of the &#8217;90s hottest names and future stars, there&#8217;s a little dust on this old reel.<\/p>\n<p>The sibling rivalry is a little overblown. The social commentary is a little dated. And the real women behind the tale are overshadowed by some seriously silly storylines. But that doesn&#8217;t stop Penny Marshall&#8217;s $100 million hit from being funny, fun, and absolutely memorable.<\/p>\n<p>Reel Spoilers podcast&#8217;s Kevin R. Brackett joins the Shat Crew this week to talk about our first cars, &#8220;A League of Their Own&#8221; the TV series, the debutante system, a loss of manners, prison-yard rules, baseball safety, and whether Dottie threw the World Series.<\/p>\n<p>We also test out movie concepts starring Ash, including a post-apocalyptic Little League drama, and debate whether Bill Pullman&#8217;s character, Bob, was a war hero or just lame.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Plot Summary: \u201cA League of Their Own&#8221;<\/strong> As America\u2019s stock of athletic young men is depleted during World War II, a professional all-female baseball league springs up in the Midwest, funded by publicity-hungry candy maker Walter Harvey (Garry Marshall).
